Price Performance

Growth Potential
- Operates in a large addressable market – B2C furniture and homewares category is approx. $16bn.
- Structural tailwinds – ongoing migration to online in Australia in the homewares and furniture segment. At the moment less than 10% of TPW’s core market is sold online versus the U.S. market where the penetration rate is around 25%.
- Strong revenue growth suggests TPW can continue to win market share and become the leader in its core markets.
- Active customer growth remains strong, with revenue per customer also increasing at a solid rate.
- Successful execution in new growth pillars – Trade & Commercial (B2B) and Home Improvement.
- Management is very focused on reinvesting in the business to grow top line growth and capture as much market share as possible. Whilst this comes at the expense of margins in the short term, the scale benefits mean rapid margin expansion could be easily achieved.
- Strong balance sheet to take advantage of any in-organic (M&A) growth opportunities, however management is likely to be very disciplined.
- Ongoing focus on using technology to improve the customer experience – TPW has invested in merging the online with the offline experience through augmented reality (AR).
- Currently undertaking a $30m share buy-back (only $1.8m bought as of 17th Jun-24).
Key Risks
- Rising competitive pressures.
- Any issues with the supply chain, especially because of the impact of Covid-19 on logistics, which affects earnings / expenses.
- Rising cost pressures eroding margins (e.g., more brand or marketing investment required due to competitive pressures).
- Disappointing earnings updates or failing to achieve growth rates expected by the market could see the stock price significantly re-rate lower.
- Trading on high PE-multiples / valuations means the Company is more prone to share price volatility.
