MyDeal CEO Sean Senvirtne was pleased with the record quarter, despite "cycling a period of unprecedented growth". Commenting on the company's growth trajectory and strategic initiatives, he said:

Through relentless focus on our key strategic initiatives, doing it 'right not rushed' and executing to plan we have been able to grow faster than the industry average.

What's next for MyDeal?

The MyDeal share price is down 32% year-to-date despite the company's strong growth trajectory.

Looking ahead, Senvirtne said that "we are looking forward to what we predict will be a highly successful 2020 … as we position ourselves to capitalise on the increased demand for online shopping."
