Exceeds expectations
Kogan has achieved revenue of $211.2 million, up from $200.3 million in FY15, for the year ended 30 June, 2016. The results, which exceeded Prospectus forecasts by 5%, has been attributed to the successful launch of Dick Smith on May 4, 2016, which has delivered revenue of $6.5 million.

Kogan.com founder and CEO, Ruslan Kogan said the results reflected solid growth in active customers and active subscribers, the successful integration of Dick Smith, the growth of Kogan Travel and Kogan Mobile, among other factors.
Kogan.com had 3.7 million active members at 30 June, 2016, up 60.8% from calendar year 2015. Excluding the impact of Dick Smith, subscriber numbers achieved 26.1% organic growth.
