Principles

The principles of the elumeo Group described in the annual report for the financial year 2016 that ended on 31 December 2016 ( Annual Report 2016 ) continue to apply.

founding of the sales company Juwelo UK Limited, Birmingham, United Kingdom, 100.0% of whose shares are held by Juwelo Deutschland GmbH, Berlin, Germany ( ); on 21 December 2016, the name was changed to Rocks & Co UK Limited ( ).

Explanations on Alternative Performance Measures

The elumeo Group uses alternative performance measures ( APMs ) in its regulatory and mandatory publications that are not regulated in the applicable International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRSs ). For further information on the definition, use and limitations of the usability of the alternative performance measures, the accounting methods used, and the reconciliations, please refer to http://www.elumeo.com/ir/publications/explanation-alternative-performance-measures.

Business development

The quarterly reporting period of this quarterly release as of 31 March 2017 covers the period from 1 January to 31 March 2017 ( Q1 2017 , first quarter of 2017 ). Unless otherwise indicated, the comparative figures presented in parentheses relate to the prior year comparative period ( same period of the 2016. In addition, selected comparative data presented in percentage may refer to the quarterly comparison

Revenue in the first quarter of 2017 amounted to EUR 17.2 million, an increase of 15.4% over the same period of the previous year (Q1 2016: EUR 14.9 million).

Overall, significant revenue growth was achieved in the sales region Germany (30.1%), which grew significantly compared to the same period of the previous year. The change in the TV distribution structure (reach) in the United Kingdom became effective on 1 March 2017 and is thus not yet fully reflected in the expected revenue decline (-6.5%). Our experience so far shows that revenue may decline by less than 50.0%, with TV distribution costs declining disproportionately higher. In Q1 2017 revenue in Italy was by -19.4% below the same period of the previous year. Measures such as new show programs and strengthened brand presentation, however, have shown first effects and we were able to record about 10.0% revenue growth in March 2017 compared to the same month of the previous year.

With revenue growth of 1.8%, the TV business performed slightly more positively compared to the first quarter of the previous year. eCommerce revenue rose by 31.1% to EUR 6.3 million in the first quarter of 2017 and generated a 36.3% share of revenue (Q1 2016: 32.0%). In the first quarter of 2017,

classic web shop revenue in the European sales region rose by 50.3% compared to the same period of the previous year. Revenue from B2B business was generated by a cooperation with a TV channel in the USA. The concrete further continuation of this cooperation is already planned for the second and third quarter of 2017. The Boutique in London, which was operated by Juwelo Deutschland for Kat Florence Design Limited, was closed in March 2017. The elumeo Group has no burdens and obligations from this. There is currently no new location.

At 38.4% of revenue, the gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2017 was significantly below the comparative period (50.7%). This is mainly due to three factors:

  • an substantial sales period in the United Kingdom in the months of January and February 2017,
  • higher shares of revenue from higher priced products from third party suppliers as well as
  • B2B revenue.

The intensive sale in the United Kingdom contributed to inventory optimisation. Since 1 March 2017, we have been broadcasting in the United Kingdom with reduced TV distribution and an adapted product line (primarily higher quality customised items that we manufacture inhouse).

The key performance measure total segment EBITDA improved to EUR -2.0 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to EUR -2.3 million in the same period of the previous year. The loss mainly resulted from the first two months of the quarter 2017 with very low gross profit margins from the sale in the United Kingdom, in particular. March 2017 was already break even with a total segment EBITDA of EUR 30 thousand. The main reason for the positive overall development was the development of costs. Selling and administrative expenses adjusted for segment reconciliation items fell by EUR 1.3 million from EUR 10.3 million in Q1 2016 to EUR 9.0 million in Q1 2017 (including other operating income from direct cost recharges to non-Group third parties). This corresponds to a percentage reduction of 12.3%. This was due to extensive cost-cutting measures in all operational areas.

Earnings development in the first quarter of 2017

Overall, a total comprehensive income (earnings for the period plus other comprehensive income) of EUR -2.2 million was generated in the first quarter of 2017, compared to EUR -4.3 million in the first quarter of 2016.

There were no further significant events or transactions that had a material impact on the earnings, assets and financial position of the elumeo Group in the first quarter of 2017.

Explanations on the various financial figures are provided in the following sections.

Earnings, assets and financial position

As a consequence of the referendum on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union ( Brexit ) on 23 June 2016, the British pound (GBP) depreciated against the euro (EUR), the functional currency of the elumeo Group, as well as the US dollar (USD) and the Thai baht (THB), which play a key role in production-side procurement.

The translation of income and expenses in the income statement of the subsidiaries in the United Kingdom with the weighted average exchange rate of the reporting period had an impact on the earnings situation and the quarterly comparison disclosed. Furthermore, the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies using the closing rate as of the reporting date, in particular also with respect to the subsequent assessment of intra-Group receivables and liabilities, resulted in shifts in the presentation of the asset, financial and earnings position.

Gross profit from eCommerce revenue declined in Q1 2017 by -5.6% from EUR 2.4 million in Q1 2016 to EUR 2.2 million.

Gross profit from B2B revenue amounted to EUR 0.2 million in the first quarter of 2017.

Overall, the decline in gross profit in the first quarter of 2017 was mainly due to the sale in the United Kingdom. Correspondingly, the proportionate share of the segment gross profit allocated to the United Kingdom fell by EUR 1.2 million from EUR 1.4 million in Q1 2016 to EUR 0.2 million in Q1 2017.

Selling expenses 6,655 38.6% 7,363 49.3% -9.6%

At EUR 6.7 million in Q1 2017, selling expenses were significantly below Q1 2016 (EUR 7.4 million). In line with the stronger focus on the eCommerce business, there was an increase in sales and marketing expenses, which essentially include costs for online marketing and other operating expenses of the web shops. On the other hand, TV broadcasting costs declined. This is mainly the result of the restructuring of the TV distribution contracts in the United Kingdom.

Selling expenses in Q1 2017 also include expenses directly attributable and rechargeable to non-Group third parties, which are contrasted by other operating income in the same amount.

At EUR 3.4 million in the first quarter of 2017, administrative expenses were down by -6.9% compared to the same period of the previous year. The main reasons for this cost decline are lower personnel and other general administrative expenses. Adjusted for net losses from foreign currency translation and share-based remuneration, administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2017 were -8.7% below the same period of the previous year.

Other administrative expenses in Q1 2017 also include expenses directly attributable and rechargeable to non-Group third parties, which are contrasted by other operating income in the same amount.

In financial years 2015 and 2016, the Executive Board issued option rights to purchase shares of exercise of the option rights of each tranche after completion of the vesting period is linked to capital market-based performance targets.

shares are therefore not to be taken into account in determining the diluted earnings per share, regardless of any possible pro rata vesting that has already occurred.

issued in financial year 2016, was met as of the balance sheet date. As of the balance sheet date, the option rights were not exercisable, because the service period condition has not been fulfilled yet. According to the International Accounting Standard IAS 33 Earnings per share, potential shares are only to be considered dilutive if their conversion into shares reduces earnings per share or increases the loss per share (IAS 33.41). If, however, the conversion to shares results in an increase in earnings per share or a reduction in the loss per share, this is a case of dilution protection and the diluted earnings per share must be adjusted to the amount of basic earnings per share (IAS 33.43). The conversion of the options rights from Tranche III/2015 would result in a reduction of loss per share in Q1 2017 (dilution protection). The number of potential shares which would have to be taken into account in the event of non-existent dilution protection is 31,441 shares (notional free shares).

As a result, the diluted earnings per share corresponds to the basic earnings per share.

(9.) Notes to the segment reporting

Total segment EBITDA in Q1 2017 was at EUR -2.0 million (Q1 2016: EUR -2.3 million) above the same period of the previous year. In the reporting period, the segment reconciliation items that were adjusted for in determining the segment EBITDA mainly comprise foreign exchange losses of EUR 0.6 million (Q1 2016: EUR 0.6 million) and share-based remuneration of EUR 0.1 million (Q1 2016: EUR 0.1 million).

Segment Sales division Germany & Italy

In the segment Sales division Germany & Italy, revenue of EUR 14.0 million (Q1 2016: EUR 11.9 million) was generated in Q1 2017. This amounts to about 81.5% of the e (Q1 2016: about 80.0%). Gross profit in the first quarter of 2017 was EUR 5.5 million (Q1 2016: EUR 5.7 million), which resulted in a gross profit margin of 39.4% in Q1 2017 (Q1 2016: 47.5%) for the segment

Sales division Germany & Italy. The decline in gross profit margin resulted from a higher proportion of high-priced products from third party suppliers, as well as a more intensive winter closing sale. At EUR -1.0 million, segment EBITDA in Q1 2017 remained at the about the same level of the same period of the previous year. This corresponds to a segment EBITDA margin of -7.3% in Q1 2017 (Q1 2016: -8.1%).

Segment Sales division Others (United Kingdom, Asia, USA)

At EUR 3.2 million revenue in the segment Sales division Others was slightly higher than in the same period of the previous year (Q1 2016: EUR 3.0 million). Revenue from B2B transactions is allocated to the segment. The segment revenue accounts for about 18.5% of the elumeo Group nue (Q1 2016: about 20.0%). In total, gross profit amounted to EUR 0.4 million in Q1 2017 (Q1 2016: EUR 1.2 million). The significant reduction is the result of the sale in the first two months in the United Kingdom. Segment EBITDA in the first quarter of 2017 was EUR -0.8 million (Q1 2016: EUR -1.2 million). The reduction in loss, despite the lower levels of gross profit, is due to cost reductions. The segment EBITDA margin was -25.6% compared to -38.2% in Q1 2016.

Segment Group functions & eliminations

To cover for the administrative and financing expenses of production, gross profit of EUR 0.7 million (Q1 2016: EUR 0.7 million) was allocated to the segment in the first quarter of 2017 and therefore not assigned to the segments Sales division Germany & Italy and Sales division Others.

(10.) Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

In Q1 2017, capital expenditures were limited to small-scale replacement investments.

(11.) Inventories

Inventories increased by 2.1% from EUR 38.9 million as of 31 December 2016 to EUR 39.8 million as of 31 March 2017. This increase is mainly due to the inventory built-up for the B2B business launched in the USA.

(12.) Equity

Issued capital

The issued capital of elumeo SE as of 31 March 2017 totalled EUR 5,500,000 (31 December 2016: EUR 5,500,000) and is divided into 5,500,000 no-par value bearer shares with a theoretical share in the issued capital of EUR 1.00 per share.

There were no changes compared to disclosures as of 31 December 2016.

Capital reserve

The capital reserve of elumeo SE as of 31 March 2017 amounted to EUR 34.0 million and thus increased compared to 31 December 2016 (EUR 33.9 million) due to equity-settled share-based remuneration commitments in accordance with IFRS 2.

Authorised Capital, Conditional Capital, convertible bonds and bonds with warrants

There were no changes compared to the disclosures as of 31 December 2016.

Share-based remuneration

The weighted average number of outstanding option rights of the three tranches from the SOP 2015 as of 31 March 2017 totalled 245,065 (31 March 2016: 136.875). The weighted average remaining maturity of the outstanding option rights up until the expiration date is approximately 8.75 years. The average exercise price is EUR 15.33 (31 March 2016: EUR 24.61) and the weighted average fair value of an option right at the time granted is EUR 5.90 (31 March 2016: EUR 8.68). As of the balance sheet date, no option rights are exercisable.

Expenses totalling EUR 0.1 million in the first quarter of 2017 (Q1 2016: EUR 0.1 million) were recorded for the share-based remuneration commitments of the three tranches from the SOP 2015.

There were no further changes compared to the disclosures as of 31 December 2016.

(13.) Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes arise from differences between the carrying amount recognised in the IFRS consolidated financial statements and the carrying amount recognised for tax purposes as well as from tax loss carryforwards to the extent to which future utilisation is sufficiently probable. Deferred tax assets as of 31 March 2017 and 31 December 2016 are attributable solely to the elimination of intercompany profits included in the inventories.

(14.) Notes to the consolidated statement of cash flows

The consolidated statement of cash flows was prepared in compliance with IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flow and shows the changes in the cash and cash equivalents of the elumeo Group due to inflows and outflows during the reporting period under review.

The inflows and outflows from operating activities are derived indirectly based on earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). The inflows and outflows from investing and financing activities are determined directly. The cash and cash equivalents comprise the unrestricted cash on hand and bank account balances. Current account credits used as short-term financing instruments are included as negative components in the financial funds.

In addition to the negative EBIT of EUR -3.1 million (Q1 2016: EUR -3.4 million), the cash outflow from operating activities in the first quarter of 2017 included an increase in inventories of EUR -0.8 million (Q1 2016: EUR +0.7 million). The outflow was contrasted by depreciation and amortisation of non-current assets in the amount of EUR +0.4 million (Q1 2016: EUR +0.4 million), non-cash expenses/income and transactions in the amount of EUR +0.8 million (Q1 2016: EUR +0.0 million) and the increase in other liabilities in the amount of EUR +2.2 million (Q1 2016: EUR -1.5 million). In total, the cash flow from operating activities in Q1 2017 amounted to EUR -0.8 million after EUR -5.0 million in Q1 2016.

Cash flow from investing activities in Q1 2017 amounted to EUR -0.1 million (Q1 2016: EUR -0.5 million).

The cash flow from financing activities mainly consisted of proceeds from an increase in financial debt in the amount of EUR +1.5 million (Q1 2016: EUR +1.8 million) and of payments for the redemption of financial debt and other financial liabilities in the amount of EUR -0.8 million (Q1 2016: EUR -0.8 million).

Cash and cash equivalents as of the reporting date arise from the positive components of unrestricted cash and bank account balances of EUR 2.0 million (31 December 2016: EUR 1.8 million) and from the negative components of current account overdrafts of EUR -221 thousand (31 December 2016: EUR -0.3 thousand). In addition, as of the reporting date unused credit lines in the total amount of EUR 2.0 million were available.

Risk and opportunity report

The elumeo Group comprehensively describes its risk management system in the Annual Report 2016. Compared to the risks and opportunities presented herein, the Executive Board currently sees no identifiable additional significant changes.

Forecast report

For the segment Sales division Germany & Italy, management is aiming for a revenue increase in the high single-digit percentage range in 2017. The gross profit is likely to develop slightly disproportionately lower due to impacts of the product mix on overall gross profit margin. In addition to a higher proportion of the classic web shop business, this will also be attributable to a higher proportion of high-priced products with lower percentage margins. In connection with cost reductions, particularly in the area of personnel costs and reach costs, a positive segment EBITDA in the low single-digit million range is expected for the year 2017.

In the segment Sales division Others, revenue is expected to decline in 2017. This is the result of the adapted TV distribution contracts in the United Kingdom. Revenue from B2B business is planned at the previous year's level. As a result of the restructuring of the business activities in the United Kingdom, elumeo SE expects a considerably reduced cost base in this segment. Overall, we are forecasting a significantly improved segment EBITDA.

In the segment Group functions & eliminations (no revenue), negative segment EBITDA in the low single-digit million range is expected for 2017.

For the elumeo Group in total, we expect slight revenue growth for 2017 with a stable gross profit margin. At the same time, we expect a significant reduction in cumulative selling, administrative and general expenses. Savings are planned, in particular, in the area of reach costs and personnel costs. Following the successful restructuring of the Group, the elumeo Group plans to achieve a slight positive segment EBITDA in the remaining quarters of 2017.

reducing inventories is essential in 2017. If the profitability of the elumeo Group cannot be increased and an improvement in working capital cannot be achieved, this can jeopardize t turning the elumeo Group to profitability while improving liquidity is a top priority in 2017.
