Kogan.com Chairman Greg Ridder said: “Recent performance of the Company highlights the solid foundations of our business – with strong customer appeal, multiple revenue streams, diverse supply chains, and world-class proprietary systems and processes.”
Earlier this month Kogan acquired the Australian furniture retailer Matt Blatt and outlined plans to transition MattBlatt.com.au to an online-only format permanently.
Also this month, Michael Hirschowitz resigned as an independent non-executive director after 15 months with the company, citing other commitments. Previously Hirschowitz was the interim CFO at Guzman y Gomez.
