Catawiki publishes its FY2025 results, reporting record profits to date, with net profit of €5.8M and adjusted EBITDA of €11.2M, representing a 10% margin on revenue Revenue reached €111M, up 9% year-on-year, with growth accelerating each quarter to almost 20% in the second half of the year Performance was driven by strong demand across luxury and collectibles across all markets in Europe Momentum has continued into 2026, with revenue growth nearing 30% year-on-year in Q1 and new bidders reaching an all-time high Amsterdam, 11 June 2026 – Catawiki, the leading online marketplace for special finds, today announced its full-year results for 2025. Against a backdrop of heightened macro-economic uncertainty and modest economic growth across Europe, Catawiki delivered its highest profits to date alongside solid growth. This strong trajectory has continued into 2026, with double-digit revenue growth and first-time bidders reaching an all-time high in Q1. Last year, net profit reached €5.8M, marking a significant step up in financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA stood at €11.2M, representing a 10% margin on revenue, with both metrics turning positive compared with 2024. Revenue reached €111M, up 9% year-on-year, driven by strong acceleration in the second half of the year, where growth neared 20%. Growth across multiple European markets and categories Growth was driven by strong demand across luxury and collectibles. Quality objects with investment value, such as watches, jewellery and wine, were the most popular categories by volume globally, while increased demand for bullion pointed to continued interest in safe-haven assets amid ongoing economic uncertainty. Standout sales included a Rolex Sky-Dweller Everose, sold for €62,200, a Cartier gold necklace, sold for €46,500 and 12 bottles of 2000 Château Mouton Rothschild, sold for €16,900. At the same time, Pokémon cards saw notable demand growth, up 60% year-on-year, largely driven by buyers under 35, with highlights including a rare first-edition Pokémon box sold for €25,500. This fuelled expansion of the buyer base, with new users placing their first bid on Catawiki increasing by over 20% year-on-year. In growth markets such as Spain and Portugal, new bidder growth peaked at up to 50%, while sales volume was also up over 20% compared with the previous year. More international sellers have also used the platform as a gateway to European buyers, with sales volume from Japanese sellers growing by almost 60% year-on-year in 2025. Improved financial performance was equally supported by greater efficiency across the business, driven by continued investment in technology and AI, sharper prioritisation and a more customer-focused organisation. Growth momentum continues in 2026 The strong trajectory has continued into 2026. In the first quarter, revenue grew by 28% year-on-year, with margins improving alongside the growth. First-time bidders increased by 70% compared with the same period last year, reaching an all-time high. Engagement is also rising. First-time bidders placed more than twice as many bids, while existing bidders also became more active, with bids up 60%. This demand is attracting more supply too, with the number of objects listed in auction up almost 30% year-on-year. Making auctions more interactive with Catawiki Live Catawiki also recently launched Catawiki Live, a new feature designed to make online auctions more interactive by turning the final 90 minutes of selected auctions into a livestreamed, seller-hosted experience. Early results show hundreds of viewers per stream, with one in four sold objects won through the live stream in auctions featuring the format. The company is also experimenting with new auction formats, including 24-hour and one-hour auctions. “2025 was a landmark year for Catawiki: we delivered record profits while continuing to expand our customer base across multiple countries and categories,” said Ravi Vora, CEO of Catawiki. “Demand is strongest in categories where scarcity, trust and expert selection matter, from watches and jewellery to wine and memorabilia. As we move through 2026, our focus is on scaling our model internationally and strengthening Catawiki’s position as the leading marketplace for special finds, across Europe.”
