In addition, an increase in inventory allowances as well as purchase order cancellation costs related to the coronavirus pandemic had a negative impact on the gross margin development. While a more favorable channel mix due to the exceptional e-commerce growth as well as lower sourcing costs had a positive effect on gross margin, a less favorable pricing mix due to increased promotional activity and negative currency fluctuations weighed on the development in 2020. In 2020, gross profit decreased 20% to € 9.855 billion from € 12.293 billion in 2019, representing a gross margin decrease of 2.3 percentage points to 49.7% (2019: 52.0%). This development mainly reflects the revenue shortfall due to the coronavirus pandemic. In 2020, cost of sales was € 9.990 billion, representing a decrease of 12% compared to the prior year level of € 11.347 billion. However, these expenses represent only a very small portion of total cost of sales. In addition, own-production expenses are also included in the cost of sales.
