What else happened in FY25?
Temple & Webster said its skyrocketing FY25 revenue was supported by growth in both new and repeat customers.
CEO Mark Coulter said the company also ran a strong end-of-financial-year promotional campaign, which boosted revenue.
The company reported a 28% lift in revenue from 1 June to 30 June 2025 compared to the previous year.
Temple & Webster said this had resulted in an increased deferred revenue balance, which would be recognised in FY26.
Coulter said:
June was a particularly strong month, with checkout revenue up 28%, highlighting that our customer proposition centred around price, range and convenience continues to resonate with the next generation of shopper in our category.
What did Temple & Webster management say?
Coulter said Temple & Webster was pushing toward its goal of becoming Australia's largest furniture and homewares retailer.
He commented:
Despite challenging retail trading conditions throughout FY25, we grew our revenue by 21% and increased our share of the Australian furniture and homewares market to 2.7%.
Home improvement was again a standout performer, with revenue growth of 43%, and private label penetration in this category increasing markedly, approaching 20%.
What's next for Temple & Webster?
Temple & Webster reports a strong start to FY26, with revenue from 1 July to 11 August up 28% year over year.
The home improvement category continues to outperform amid rising home values and a positive outlook for the property market in FY26.
Coulter said:
We are pleased that the momentum we built throughout the second half of FY25 has continued into FY26.
With anticipated interest rate reductions, coupled with stimulatory government policies relating to housing, we remain optimistic that conditions in FY26 should be favourable for the furniture, homewares and home improvement categories.
Temple & Webster also provided some guidance for FY26.
The company is guiding an EBITDA margin of between 3% and 5%, targeting the mid-point of the range.
Coulter said this would be driven by leverage on the company's fixed cost base and FY24/25 marketing investments.
The strength of our balance sheet position, with $144m of cash and no debt, allows us to continue executing towards our goal of becoming Australia's largest retailer of furniture and homewares.
