I suspect no one of those companies are designed to be profitable ever.
They have big losses because they sell below cost to gain traction. All cloned companies seem like bubbles.

- Only one of the three brothers is are featured. Why the two others are not there, interviewed?
It seems only one, Oliver, is the main mastermind of all.

- There is no mention of Rocket Internet AG. "hidden ventures" in Iran.

- Africa is a big continent, all entire European countries fit in Africa ...  more than once.
If you want to replicate a big success in many African countries, it will be as hard as the same to replicate it in all European countries, more than once.

Africa is larger than USA, India, Japan, China and all European countries combined!
Many if not most, USA, Canada or European businesses models are unfeasible inviable in Russia, Africa, or in Latin American countries!
(transportation costs could be 10 times bigger than Europe)

- There is a leading case of Rocket Internet AG. big failure, when eHarmony Inc. refused to acquire the 100% of Affinitas GmbH. last May 2012, then it is said Affinitas GmbH. had to pay USD30Million to eHarmony Inc. to recover 30% stake in May 2013.

Rocket Internet AG. / All ventures are created using a complex system of shell companies. /

From the article "Rocket Internet makes case for €3.3bn valuation" at Financial Times
http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/df748b5e-0919-11e4-8d27-00144feab7de.html

http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/e090a94c-1f07-11e4-9d7d-00144feabdc0.html

a comment there:

It looks like the FT articles about Rocket Internet in the past few months have been the outcome of Samwer’s PR agency…having said this, below are a few points for thought

-All ventures are created using a complex system of shell companies. This is a fact and very easy to verify

-The purpose of such structure is threefold: record fictitious sales and expenses to avoid German taxes, multiply the number of “consultancy contracts” that the ventures need to pay to Rocket holding and hide cash outflows from the ventures

-The ventures are actually companies without strategy, without sustainable growth, loss making

-Thanks to consultancy contracts and other tricks, the brothers are able to return from their investment in each venture within 2 years, leaving the entire loss to other investors

-KPIs and financials are manipulated and sometimes totally made up. The IT system is unable to provide reliable data and investors simply cannot audit the numbers

If anybody is interested, I’m happy to give more details.

In summary, the brothers did a wonderful job in raising funds and an even better job in creating a big machine with nothing underneath and keeping a cut of the funds for themselves instead of using it for developing the business. But, after all, isn’t it what a large number of ventures founders do these days? Set up a boring online business, make a fancy website and good marketing materials and raise funds to pay their salary for a few months or (if lucky) for a few years? Rocket just did it in a bigger way, fooling tax authorities too

Perhaps only a big Ponzi scheme; those companies no designed to be profitable ever, only to be sold to the original company they had copycatted, like eDarling (Affinitas GmbH.) copycat of eHarmony Inc. failed to be sold last May 2012.

If you want to replicate a big success in Brazil, it will be as hard as the same to replicate it in all European countries, but in this case with 1/8 of population and the majority of the persons DO NOT own or WILL NOT use a credit/debit card to buy online! They will prefer to research online and then buy offline.
The same for Africa, and perhaps the same for Russia.

Break-even not planned for 2014?
Kinnevik + Ooredoo + Tengelmann + Samwers == Ponzi?

"most of the unlisted companies within Kinnevik’s online portfolio are still unprofitable. However, the larger companies in the portfolio are well capitalised and can afford continued investments until they reach break-even."

But what will happen if  those companies never reach the break-even, if their EBITDAs  are always negative???

A Journalist from the Wall Street Journal, talking about the "famous Samwer bros. clone empire", asked me: "I am not quite sure what you’re referring to when you say it is all just a ponzi scheme and the Samwers are committing a crime. Start-up companies in general aren’t profitable but hope to be at one stage."
I replied: That is exactly the problem. Their start-up companies are not designed to be profitable, and as they are copycats of U.S. companies, the main purpose is to be sold to the original company they had copycatted OR if they fail to do so, to plan the IPO in order to recover the money they had invested!.
They always make unrealistic projections of sales: "For the Brazilian Amazon clone Linio the Samwers offer a return of 12 percent in 2017. The Amazon model generates 1.1 percent."

Big investments, big losses
http://venturevillage.eu/kinnevik-rocket-internet-investments
As for the young Latin American Amazon clone, Linio, 2017 is set to be a good year – with estimated revenues of €281m, the Samwers claim that the return on sales will be an impressive 12%. This is a clear sign of the Samwers’ huge and rather unrealistic ambitions: by comparison, the company’s US original, Amazon, makes just over 1% in returns.
 
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2014/05/ab-kinnevik-q1-2014-results.html

I suspect no one of the cloned companies by Samwer Bros. are really profitable or sustainable for the next 5 years, to until 2019 at least; and as they will not be able to sell to the original company they had copycatted, as they failed to sell Affinitas GmbH. to eHarmony Inc. last March 2012 and as the Management Team can not innovate in nothing because they are not entrepreneurs, they will collapse. All cloned companies seem like bubbles.

"the accelerator claims that almost all of its eCommerce ventures will be pushed to make billion-dollar turnovers and generate two-figure percentage returns on sales."

Samwers locken Investoren mit aggressiven Wachstumsversprechen, uncovered confidential documents aimed at Rocket investors.
http://www.manager-magazin.de/unternehmen/it/a-895073.html

"It's no secret that Rocket Internet ventures need large funding amounts to launch: Manager magazine’s sources claim that South East Asian fashion portal Zalora made a loss of close to €70m last year, while furniture chain Home24 also has high deficits – in 2012 it made a loss of close to €40m, and a loss of around €43m is expected for 2013."
http://www.manager-magazin.de/unternehmen/it/a-895073.html
"Noch aber häufen die diversen Rocket-Internet-Unternehmen rund um den Globus allesamt hohe Anlaufverluste an. So machte allein das in Südostasien präsente Modeportal Zalora 2012 ein Minus von knapp 70 Millionen Euro, wie aus den Business-Plänen hervorgeht. Auch der in Europa und Lateinamerika tätige Möbelhändler Home24 arbeitet derzeit stark defizitär: 2012 stand ein Verlust in Höhe von rund 40 Millionen Euro an, für 2013 werden Einbußen von fast 43 Millionen Euro erwartet, so das manager magazin."
