Jumia's better-than-expected GMV growth and improved adjusted EBITDA loss drove a positive 4.2% stock reaction, reflecting investor approval of the continued progress on profitability and platform monetization.
- GMV grew 32% year-over-year, driven by broad-based growth across core markets and improved marketplace fundamentals.
- Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to $10.7 million from $15.7 million in Q1 2025; excluding one-time Algeria exit costs, the loss was $9.7 million, a 38% improvement year-over-year.
- Revenue rose 39% to $50.6 million, supported by higher usage, improved monetization, and strength in first-party sales and international partnerships.
- Fulfillment cost per order remained flat on a reported basis but declined 10% on a constant currency basis, aided by operational efficiencies and better logistics rates.
- Quarterly cash burn increased seasonally to $15.3 million but showed a favorable trajectory compared to prior year, supporting confidence in full year profitability targets.
