Managing Director Gary Rohloff commented: "We are delighted that the third quarter has seen Laybuy continue to deliver exceptionally strong growth, reaching its target of annualised GMV of NZ$1 billion ahead of schedule.
"The UK market, in particular, saw very strong GMV growth in December eclipsing the traditional peak month of November, and was up 68% compared with December 2020. This helped deliver record GMV this quarter.
"Our continuing and sustained growth demonstrates that our business strategy is robust and continuing to deliver strong results. For example, in the past 12 months alone, we have added nearly 5,000 active merchants and over 250,000 new active customers across ANZ and the UK.
"Our growth pipeline remains strong and will be driven, in part, by our App Exclusives Platform (the Affiliate Marketing Network), which was launched in August. The platform currently provides our customers with access to more than 300 brands and, in time, will enable access to more than 5,000 of the UK's largest brands. This will see Laybuy cement its place as one of the top three BNPL providers in the large UK retail market.
"We are delighted that we are continuing to see sustained growth in Q3 FY22, which has allowed us to reach our target of NZ$1 billion of annualised GMV and affirm our revenue targets."
