Zalando breaks the tendency. The German ecommerce giant has closed the fist half with a rise of 20% in its revenue, up to 1.6 billion euros (1.8 billion dollars).

The net benefit of the company, on the other hand, has closed Q2 on the low. The company registered a result of 45.5 million euros (50.6 million dollars), 12% less than in the same period last year. The ebitda of the group rised 34%, up to 143.3 million euros (159.4 million dollars).
