Mr. Thorsten Struck joined the Management Board on January 1, 2025. succeeding Ms. Jennifer Bernstein who left on December 31, 2024.
On 10 February 2025 the Company executed the Tenth Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement with Runway to extend the loan amount by an additional USD 2,7 million to be drawn upon the discretion of the Company to cover certain financial liabilities as they potentially become due. The Company has drawn the full amount on 15 April 2025.
On 25 February 2025 the maturity of the loan from Berliner Volksbank (BVB) was extended to 31 March 2025. On 8/11 April 2025 the maturity of the loan was once more extended to 15 April 2025 and the loan amount to be repaid was reduced to EUR 1.4 million . This amount was repaid in full on 15 April 2025.
On 27 February 2025, the Group implemented workforce reductions across all regions and subsidiaries, including Marley Spoon SE, as part of an ongoing strategic initiative aimed at enhancing profitability. The restructuring affected roughly 5% of the total workforce, primarily impacting central function roles. These changes are designed to align the Group's resources with its core priorities and to position Marley Spoon for continued success in the meal kit and ready-to-heat market landscape.
On 14 April 2025 the Company entered into a Consent to Loan and Security Agreement with Runway to obtain consent for the sale of Chefgood's operations CG Meals Pty Ltd. In this agreement it is also agreed for the Company to draw upon the additional loan amount granted in the Runway 10th Amendment. It is further agreed that interest payable will be added to the total loan amount until further notice of Runway. The Company and Runway will work together to explore further financing options.
On 15 April 2025 Marley Spoon Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Asset Sale Agreement to sell substantially all assets relating to the operations of Chefgood Pty Ltd to CG Meals Pty Ltd. Upon the closing of the transaction on 26 May Marley Spoon received AUD 8,383,490.
On 29 April 2025 the Company executed the Eleventh Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement with Runway to extend the loan amount by an additional EUR 2,5 million to be drawn to cover certain financial liabilities as they potentially become due. Furthermore the existing agreement is amended to defer any cash payments relating to amortization, principal repayment and interest payments until 31 May 2026.
On September 4, 2023, Marley Spoon Group SE began the process to acquire the remaining outstanding shares of Marley Spoon SE being represented in CHESS Depository Interests (CDI) traded on ASX.
An unconditional, off-market cash offer was made to acquire up to 10,000 CDIs from each Marley Spoon SE CDI holder at A\$0.11 per CDI. By October 4, 2024, the Small Holdings Offer closed with 4,011,518 CDIs tendered by 858 holders. This represented about 3% of CDIs on issue and 1% of Marley Spoon SE's total issued capital. Following this offer, Marley Spoon Group SE's holding in Marley Spoon SE reached roughly 85%.

Later, on November 6, 2023, a Direct Tender Offer was launched. Upon closing of the Subsequent Direct Tender Offer on 19 December 2023, the Company received acceptances from 400 CDI holders with respect to a total amount of 76,621,889 CDIs, representing approximately 65% of the CDIs on issue as at the Tender Offer record date, and approximately 10.4% of the total issued capital of Marley Spoon SE. This resulted in the Company converting its 842,373 treasury shares into MSSE CDIs, increasing its participation in MSSE from 84% to 93.5%.
Most recently, on May 1, 2025, MSG acquired additional 3,415,197 MSSE shares for AUD 618.152,17 (AUD 0.181 per share) from the CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Ltd. CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Ltd as the paying agent, is responsible for receiving and distributing the cash consideration to CDI Holders, as it was detailed in the Paying Agent Deed of May 1, 2025.
Upon completion of these transactions, Marley Spoon Group SE's holding in Marley Spoon SE has increased to 99,5%. The 0.5% of shareholdings are represented by smaller private investors.
On 20 May 2025 the Company executed the Twelfth Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement with Runway to extend the loan amount by an additional EUR 1.5million to be drawn in certain installments to obtain a restructuring opinion from a restructuring expert. First draw down was executed after the reporting date in July.

The Management Board of Marley Spoon Group SE (hereafter the "Company") submits its interim management report with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") for the financial period ended 30 June 2025.
Marley Spoon Group SE is a European company (Société Européenne, SE), incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg having its registered office at 9, rue de Bitbourg, L-1273 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés de Luxembourg) under number B257664.
Marley Spoon Group SE was incorporated on 26 July 2021 (date of incorporation per the deed of incorporation as agreed between shareholders in front of the notary) in Luxembourg as a European company ("Société Européenne" or "SE") based on the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The Company has been registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register under the number B257664 since 4 August 2021. The Company is a listed entity with its Class A shares traded in the regulated market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "MS1", effective 11 July 2023 (previously "SPV2" from 20 January 2022 to 11 July 2023). The Company's Class A warrants are also traded on the open market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "SPVW". In addition, the Company has 4,987,500 Class B shares issued and outstanding as at 30 June 2024 that are not listed on a stock exchange.
For the six months ended 30 June 2025, net revenue decreased by EUR 28.5 million or 17% (15% on a constant currency basis) to EUR 138.9 million compared with the six months to 30 June 2024 (EUR 167.5 million).
Although the average order value increased and customer order frequency continued its upward trend, the net revenues decreased driven by a reduction in marketing vouchers and marketing investment. These developments are a direct outcome of controlled and phased reallocation of investment from the Dinnerly brand to Marley Spoon, aligning with the ROI-optimized long-term platform consolidation strategy. Towards the end of Q1 2025, targeted price increases have been implemented with the primary objective of refining our price points positioning across various plans, while simultaneously boosting revenue per order.
Contribution margin (CM) as a % of revenue was 36% in H1 2025, a 180 basis point improvement over the prior year's performance driven by the lower level of marketing expenses and the Company's focus on continuous improvement and cost management.
Marketing expense decreased by 29.1% in the first half of 2025 versus the first half of 2024 while marketing as a per cent of net revenue was 15.0%, a decrease of 245 basis points as compared to the first half of 2024 (17.0%).
General & Administrative (G&A) expenses were down EUR 7.9 million or 19.6% in H1 2025 as compared to H1 as a result of the Company's financial discipline and last year's cost reduction programs.
Earnings Before Interest & Tax (EBIT) was EUR (2.2) million in H1 2025, a EUR 0.2 million improvement as compared to EUR (2.4) million in H1 2024.
Net financing income and expenses decreased from EUR (6.0) million in H1 2024 to EUR (4.9) million in H1 2025.
The Company's net loss for the period improved by EUR 1.4. million to EUR (7.1) million.

Operating EBITDA for the first half of 2025 was EUR 5.6 million, an improvement of EUR 4.4 million compared to H1 2024 driven by the contribution margin improvement, reduction in marketing spend and disciplined cost control.
Cash in flows from operating activities was EUR 2.1 million as of 30 June 2025, compared to 30 June 2024 there was only slight change mainly due to movements in working capital.
Cash outflow from investing activities was EUR 3.1 million at 30 June 2025 compared to EUR 11.6 million cash inflow at 30 June 2024 (2024 figures included EUR 22.0 million cash inflow as proceeds from transaction with FreshRealm).
Cash flow from financing was EUR 0.3 million at 30 June 2024 resulting from additional borrowing of EUR 6.1 million, repayments of borrowings of EUR 3.4 millions and lease payments of EUR 2.0 million (decrease of EUR 1,1 million). In H1 2024 EUR 8.0 million was raised in a private placement, offset by a repayment of EUR 10.5 million to Runway Growth Finance Corporation toward the Company's outstanding loan facility.
Current assets decreased from EUR 16.8 million at 31 December 2024 to EUR 15.0 million at 30 June 2025. This was mainly due to lower trade receivables as the result of seasonality and lower sales.
Non-current assets decreased by EUR 1.9 million to EUR 52.3 million at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: EUR 54.1 million), mainly as the result of the foreign currency revaluation of the goodwill.
Current liabilities decreased from EUR 53,8 million at 31 December 2024 to EUR 44.7 million at 30 June 2025 driven by a decrease in trade payables and lower portion of interest bearing loans and borrowings. (repayment of BVB loan).
Non-current liabilities increased by EUR 2.8 million mainly from the increase in Interest bearing loans which include borrowings from the 10th and 11th amendment of Runway loans.
Negative equity was EUR 65.8 million at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: EUR 65.5 million).
The Company regularly re-evaluates its risk profile across the organization in an effort to identify any potential new risks and to track the development of existing risks. In the first six months of 2025, no new fundamental risks have emerged for the Company compared to the comprehensive discussion included in the Risk and Opportunities Report on pages 17-22 of the FY 2024 Annual Report.
The liquidity risk is still the top business priority for the Company. While the Company remains optimistic about its business trajectory, particularly as its customer base stabilizes, and its interest rate risk is modest, enhancing Marley Spoon's liquidity through additional equity funding or other strategic measures remains critical. Refer to note 7.2 on Going Concern for further discussion.
The Management Board of the Company updates the guidance for the financial year 2025. The updated guidance provides a more precise forecast for Net Revenue while adjusting contribution margin and growth expectations for EBITDA. The Company now expects Net Revenue and operating EBITDA to be below and contribution margin to be above the previously communicated guidance:

The adjustments are due to an unexpected stronger holiday season across all key markets and the earlier-than-expected closing of the sale of the Chefgood business.
This outlook reflects current market conditions and management's assumptions regarding the Company's operational performance. Significant changes in the macroeconomic environment may lead to revisions of this guidance.
The Management Board reaffirms its responsibility to ensure the maintenance of proper accounting records disclosing the consolidated financial position of the Company with reasonable accuracy at any time. It also emphasizes the implementation of an appropriate internal control system to ensure the efficient and transparent conduct of the Company's business operations.
In compliance with Article 4 of the Luxembourg law of 11 January 2008 on transparency requirements in relation to information about issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market, as amended, the Management Board declares that, to the best of their knowledge, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2025, prepared following International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by European Union, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position as of that date and results for the period then ended.
Furthermore, the Consolidated Interim Management Report includes a fair review of the development and performance of the Company's operations throughout the period. It also addresses business risks, where appropriate, faced by the Company along with other information required by Article 68ter of the Luxembourg law of 19 December 2002 on the Trade and Company Register and companies and on bookkeeping and annual accounts of companies and amending certain legal dispositions, as amended.

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2025 are for the Group consisting of Marley Spoon Group SE and its subsidiaries (hereafter "the Group").
Marley Spoon Group SE (hereinafter the "Group" or "Parent" and the "Group" if taken together with its subsidiaries) was incorporated on 26 July 2021 in Luxembourg as a European company ("Société Européenne" or "SE") based on the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg ("Luxembourg"). The Company is registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés, abbreviated "RCS) under the number B257664 since 4 August 2021. The registered office of the Group is located at 9, rue de Bitbourg, L-1273 Luxembourg. The Company is a listed entity with its Class A shares traded in the regulated market of Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the trading symbol "MS1". Likewise, the Company's Class A warrants are also traded on the open market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "SPVW".
The Company's principal business activity is to solve everyday recurring problems in delightful and sustainable ways by creating and delivering directly to customers original recipes along with the necessary fresh, high-quality, seasonal ingredients for them to prepare, cook, and enjoy, or in the case of Chefgood, ready-to-heat meals to prepare. Customers can choose which recipes they would like to receive in a given week, and receive the pre-portioned ingredients delivered to their doorstep by third-party logistics partners.
The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. The Group has chosen not to adopt early any standard, interpretation, or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the information required for an annual financial report (Konzernabschluss) and should be read in conjunction with the IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Euros, the presentation currency of the Group, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (EUR thousand), except where otherwise stated.
In preparing these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The significant judgments made by the Management Board in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2024. Further details on significant judgements of intangible assets are disclosed in note 14. In addition, refer to note 7 for further information on significant estimates used in determining the fair value of financial instruments.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes a recapitalization of the Company's balance sheet so that the Group will be able to meet all its financial commitments.
As at 31 December 2024, the Group noted that its ability to meet its financial obligations as they fall due and continue as a going concern largely depends on Marley Spoon SE's ability to maintain a positive cash balance.
This remains the case. The Group successfully closed the sale of Chefgood activity. It is receiving continued support from Runway with capitalization of interest and the amortization of the Runway loan being postponed until May 2026.
Although the Company sees the positive trend in operational performance, still the development of operational cash flows could be negatively impacted by macroeconomic or external factors such as increasing tariffs, volatile customer behavior, cost inflation, supply chain disruptions or higher interest rates.
In case of these potential headwinds the Group's ability to continue as a going concern depends on delivering positive operating cash flows through operating profitability driven by margin expansion or additional cost reductions. Management expects the Group to be able to address these potential additional headwinds with the respective measures.
The Group's activities are conducted, and meal kits are sold to consumers in three operating segments, the United States of America (US), which includes the operations of Marley Spoon and Bistro MD, Australia (AU) which includes the operations of Marley Spoon and ChefGood (until the completion of the sale on 26 May 2025. The activity of ChefGood was shown as discontinued operations as of 31 December 2024), and Europe (EU), which comprises four countries (Austria, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands). The Group's global headquarter is located in Berlin. An additional legal entity is established in Portugal for Marley Spoon's customer care operations and in the United Kingdom for certain Marley Spoon staff, both of which are included as part of the Group's headquarter costs.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segments and has been defined as the Company's Management Board comprised of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), the Chief Technology and Product Officer (CTO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
Segment results that are reported include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be reasonably allocated.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those of the group. The Group accounts for inter-segment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties where the arm's length principle applies. The Group does not separate operating segments based on the type of products, since the nature of the product, production processes and the method used for distribution are similar across all product ranges.
The reported operating segments are strategic business units that are managed separately and for which the operating results are monitored by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. The "Holdings" column represents royalty charges paid to the Group and interest income on loans with subsidiaries. The Group consolidation ("Conso" column) eliminates intercompany transactions.

Operating EBITDA, a measure of segment performance, excludes the effects of special items such as equity-settled share-based payments, as well as significant items of income and expenditure that are the result of an isolated, non-recurring event, such as costs incurred in association with a merger or acquisition or severance payments.

Financing expenses are associated with the interest paid on borrowings, derivative financial instruments and the adjustments for loans which are valued at amortized costs. Differences between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the borrowing period using the effective interest method.

The Group's consolidated weighted current tax rate for the six months ended 30 June 2025 was 8.0% (six months ended 30 June 2024: 28.0%). The weighted average applicable tax rate was derived from the tax rate in each jurisdiction weighted by the relevant pre-tax loss. No numerical reconciliation of income tax expense to prima facie tax payable has been calculated since no positions have been recognized in 2025.
The Group has tax losses in several legal entities in different tax jurisdictions that have the potential to reduce tax payments in future years. These losses relate to subsidiaries that have a history of losses, do not expire, and may not be used to offset taxable income elsewhere in the Group. The subsidiaries currently have no tax planning opportunities available that partly support the recognition of these losses as deferred tax assets. On this basis, the Group has determined that it cannot recognize deferred tax assets on the tax losses carried forward or the associated tax expense benefit in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Basic earnings/(loss) per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) for the year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
The weighted average number of ordinary shares is calculated from the number of shares in circulation at the beginning of a period adjusted by the number of shares issued during the period and multiplied by a time-weighting factor.
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) for the year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. In accordance with IAS 33 earnings per share, the effect of anti-dilutive potential shares has not been included when calculating diluted earnings per share for the periods ended 30 June 2025 and 30 June 2024. The Group currently has shares granted to employees that could, if not for the anti-dilutive effects, dilute basic earnings per share in the future.
The following table reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted EPS calculations:

| 30 June 2025 | 30 June 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Loss attributable to ordinary equity holders (thousands) | (7,022) | (8,124) |
| Weighted average shares outstanding (WASO) | 15,701,800 | 17,356,836 |
| Basic and diluted EPS | (0.42) | (0.48) |
During the six months ended 30 June 2025, the Group acquired assets with a cost of EUR 473 thousand (six months ended 30 June 2024: EUR 315 thousand). Depreciation charged during the period on all assets amounted to EUR 927 thousand (six months ended 30 June 2024: EUR 1,429 thousand).
During the six months ended 30 June 2024, the Group capitalized EUR 2,647 thousand (six months ended 30 June 2024: EUR 3,380 thousand) which was related to licenses & software developments.
Consistent with the Group's accounting policies, development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and use the asset. Management has made judgements and estimates regarding the future economic benefits of internally generated software. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Group tests annually in December whether the intangible assets have suffered any impairment or if there is the occurrence of an impairment indicator for all intangible assets. The key assumptions used in the Company's goodwill impairment analysis are disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
As of 30 June 2025, total lease liabilities were EUR 15,565 thousand (31 December 2024: EUR 15,729 thousand). One major change was the decision to move the German office to a new location in Berlin with more favorable conditions. This resulted in a decrease of lease liability of EUR 215 thousand.
The inventory balance contains food, packaging and marketing items with a net balance as of 30 June 2025 of EUR 5,275 thousand (31 December 2024: EUR 4,928 thousand).
For non-sold inventory items, the Group designs new recipes to ensure that inventories are consumed, short shelf-life items ordered are directly included in cost of goods sold and not put into inventory. Therefore, the Group did not materially incur or reverse previous inventory write-downs during 2024 or 2025.
Inventory recognized as an expense during the first half of 2025 amounted to EUR 60,454 thousand (30 June 2023: EUR 72,652 thousand).
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their own economic best interest.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy. This is described, as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 — quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 — valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For liquid assets, other short-term financial instruments and other non-current financial assets, the fair values equal approximately their carrying amounts at closing date. The Group measures derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Set out below is a comparison by category for carrying amounts and fair values of all the Group's financial instruments that are included in the consolidated financial statements.

The carrying amount of these approximate their fair value (level 3) as at 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024.
Parties are considered to be related if they are under common control or if one of the parties has the ability to control the other party or can exercise significant influence or joint control over the other party in making financial and operational decisions.
