Teilor Holding SA, a group of companies that includes the luxury jewelry chain TEILOR, the financial lending company Invest Intermed GF IFN, Invest Intermed Gold, a company that sells gold jewelry, and Teilor Invest Exchange, posts, at consolidated level, a turnover of 216.3 million lei in the first half of 2024, up 19% from the same period last year. EBITDA amounted to 27.3 million lei, down 6% compared to H1 2023, while normalized net profit was 3.2 million lei, a 76% decrease.

“The first semester of this year brought sales growth for all Teilor Holding companies, supported by rising demand for the products we offer and an expanding geographic footprint. During this period, we continued to invest in development, with the TEILOR network growing by 6 physical stores and MoneyGold by 17 branches over the past year. However, the volatile economic environment has resulted in a much faster pace of increase in expenses than in revenues, which, out of respect for our customers, we have decided not to transfer to them, in conjunction with the capital invested in particular to launch the DAAR brand and strengthen MoneyGold on the Romanian market. For the coming period, we aim to streamline our networks that have generated below-expected results and focus resources on the business lines where we see the greatest growth potential. To this end, in order to maximize the value of our brands, we are considering attracting funds to facilitate the further expansion of our Teilor Holding networks. In addition, this will enable us to offer the highest quality products and services to a wide range of customers through TEILOR’s luxury goods, the sustainable jewelry in the DAAR portfolio and the synergies created within MoneyGold,” stated Mircea Varga, Chairman of the Board of Directors at Teilor Holding.
