€2.5m EBITDA uplift, and profitability for the first time.
EBITDA uplift achieved to date, around 4% of revenue.
A UK-based business had lost sight of its baseline budget outside of additional levers and needed the model rebuilt, for both baseline and levers, in a way that could flex with market fluctuations. We had partnered with the client on a range of projects before.
We worked with the heads of finance, buying and merchandising, and marketing to understand all the moving pieces and build a budget and forecasting model for the year. We identified opportunities across the business and built models for their implementation and impact, across three areas: marketing through loyalty and channel strategy, cost reductions through print strategy and wage costs, and gross-margin levers through markdown strategy and supplier funding.
The client now has a clear budget forecast to track performance and report coherently across teams, with an implementation plan and actions against the identified opportunities to help it compete in tough market conditions.
