Q3 2024 was AUTO1 Group's most successful quarter to date. In particular, the adjusted EBITDA of KEUR 34,323 (Q3 2023: KEUR 495) was the highest in the company's history. With KEUR 187,117, gross profit was also the highest-ever of the Group to date, up by KEUR 52,764 compared to the same period of the previous year. Gross profit per unit was EUR 107 higher than in the prior-year quarter and amounted to EUR 1,059.

Overall, the Group's revenues increased in Q3 2024 compared to the same quarter of the previous year, mainly due to the increase in the number of vehicles sold by KEUR 306,786 to KEUR 1,599,424.

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to of KEUR 34,323, which represents an improvement of KEUR 33,828 compared to the prior-year quarter (Q3 2023: KEUR 495). The increase in adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2024 results mainly from the higher gross profit. This was offset by higher personnel and other operating expenses due to the Group's increased trading activities. Due to the very positive business performance in the third quarter 2024 the Group's consolidated net profit amounted to KEUR 7,654 (Q3 2023: KEUR -17,630).

Non-current Assets

Fixed assets which include in particular our branches, our unique Autohero delivery fleet as well as our production centers for used cars, have increased by KEUR 11,436 to KEUR 147,072 compared to year-end, mainly due to the expansion of our branch network.

Non-current trade and other receivables consist of receivables from the instalment purchase option that AUTO1 offers to Autohero customers in Germany and Austria to make their shopping experience through our online retailer even more flexible. Non-current receivables from instalment purchases amounted to KEUR 295,270 as at the reporting date (Q4 2023: KEUR 233,643).

Current Assets

Inventories increased by KEUR 70,112 compared to year-end to KEUR 614,492. Inventories are refinanced by utilising the inventory ABS facility in the amount of KEUR 510,000. The
increase in inventories was recorded in the Retail segment in particular and is mainly due to a higher number of vehicles held and, to a lesser extent, higher average purchase prices.

The increase in current trade and other receivables by KEUR 168,285 to KEUR 313,806 is primarily due to the growth in receivables from the merchant financing program launched in the fourth quarter of 2023, which amounted to KEUR 177,628 as at 30 September 2024 (31 December 2023: KEUR 36,522). The item also includes receivables from instalment purchases of KEUR 43,791 (previous year: KEUR 35,500).

Other current financial and non-financial assets mainly related to VAT receivables and prepaid expenses, which increased by KEUR 13,028 compared to year-end.

Cash equivalents increased by KEUR 24,034 to KEUR 572,206 in the first nine months of 2024.

Total liabilities 1,427,996 1,127,240
Total equity and liabilities 2,021,621 1,704,687
Equity
The change in equity is mainly due to the positive net profit for the past three quarters of 2024.
Non-current Liabilities
In the three quarters of 2024, non-current financial liabilities increased by a total of KEUR 203,894 to KEUR 945,316. This resulted primarily from a higher utilisation of the merchant financing ABS facility (increase of KEUR 104,091), which ensures the cost-efficient refinancing of loans from the merchant financing program.
The nominal values of the liabilities for refinancing the instalment purchase portfolio to Autohero customers increased by a total of KEUR 66,079 due to the further growth in instalment purchase receivables. In July 2024, publicly listed ABS notes with a nominal volume of EUR 212 million were placed to refinance an existing instalment purchase portfolio of EUR 223 million. As at 30 September 2024, the nominal value of the publicly listed consumer loan ABS notes amounted to KEUR 196,202. As a result of the refinancing of part of the instalment purchase portfolio carried out in July 2024, the utilisation of the consumer loan ABS facility was reduced by KEUR 130,122 as at the quarterly reporting date compared to the previous year.
In addition, long-term financial liabilities include the inventory ABS facility. Due to the increase in inventories, the utilisation of the inventory ABS facility at end of Q3 2024 increased by KEUR 35,000.

The nominal amounts of the utilisation of the three facilities provided by external lenders and the publicly listed consumer loan ABS notes are presented below:

KEUR 30 Sep. 2024 31 Dec. 2023
Utilisation of ABS-facilities
Inventory ABS facility 510,000 475,000
Consumer Loan Public ABS notes 196,202 -
Consumer Loan ABS facility 100,401 230,523
Merchant Financing ABS facility 142,696 38,605
Total $\mathbf{9 4 9 , 2 9 9}$ $\mathbf{7 4 4 , 1 2 8}$

The difference between the total utilisation of the three ABS facilities and the carrying amount of the financing liabilities, which are generally reported as non-current, results from the inclusion of transaction costs, which are recognised over the corresponding contractual term using the effective interest method.

Current Liabilities

Current liabilities increased by KEUR 91,596 to KEUR 429,685 in the three quarters of 2024 compared to year-end. The increase in trade and other payables by KEUR 69,742 is due to increased vehicle purchases and higher business activities at the end of the reporting period. At the same time, provisions and other financial and non-financial liabilities increased by KEUR 21,854 compared to the previous year.

As a result of the positive business performance in the year to date, we are raising our forecast for 2024 as follows: We are forecasting the total number of vehicles sold in a range of 665,000 to 679,000 units (previously 620,000 to 665,000 units). Of these, 593,000 to 607,000 units are expected to be sold in the Merchant segment (previously 550,000 to 595,000 units) and 72,000 units in the Retail segment (previously approx. 70,000 units). We expect the Group's gross profit to be between EUR 682 million and EUR 700 million (previously EUR 610 million to EUR 680 million). The Group's adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in a range between EUR 72 million and EUR 84 million (previously EUR 45 million and EUR 65 million).
