Tyre trade According to estimates by the European Tyre & Rubber Manufacturers' Association (ETRMA) and the German Rubber Industry Association (WdK), a total of 2.8 % fewer passenger car tyres were sold by retailers to consumers in Germany in the first six months of the current year compared with the corresponding prioryear period. A 12.0 % decline in business with summer tyres compared with the first half of 2022 contrasted with an 11.8 % increase in business with all-season tyres. Sales of winter tyres were 1.6 % lower than in the first six months of 2022. According to ETRMA market data for the tyre industry, demand for replacement tyres in the European market for consumer tyres (passenger cars, SUVs and light trucks), the largest sub-segment in terms of volume, was down 12 % in the first half of the year compared with the first six months of 2022. Sales of summer passenger car tyres were down 11 %, while winter tyre sales fell by 32 %. Sales of all-season tyres were on a par with the previous year. These market figures relate to sales from the industry to retailers (sell-in).
Online trade The gloomy consumer sentiment also made itself felt in the domestic online retail sector in the middle of the year. According to the German E-Commerce and Distance Selling Trade Association (Bundesverband E-Commerce und Versandhandel e. V. - bevh), the first three months of the current year already saw a yearon-year decline in sales of 15.0 % to € 19.4 billion. This trend continued in the second quarter 2023. From April to June of this year, revenues declined by 12.2 % year-on-year to € 19.2 billion. Overall, e-commerce sales in Germany in the first six months of the current year were therefore 13.7 % down on the previous year.
Group The Delticom group generates the majority of its revenues from the online sale of replacement tires for cars and motorcycles. Complete wheels and rims round off the product range.
In the first six months of the current fiscal year, the Delticom group generated revenues of € 198 million, a decrease of 10.0 % after € 220 million in H1 2022. In the current year, the previous shop business was supplemented by platform business. The company provides the technical infrastructure and its sales and process know-how to enable external third parties to sell goods online to Delticom's private and commercial end customers. This results in a partial shift of shop revenues to the platform. Accordingly, the commission contributions are realized for the shifted share of revenues. The year-on-year decline in revenues consequently mainly results from this reclassification. The gross merchandise value in H1 2023 amounts to € 243.7 million (H1 2022: € 253.3 million, -3.8 %).
Seasonality The chart Revenues trend summarises the development of the half-year revenues.

Q1 Overall, the Delticom group generated revenues of € 78 million (Q1 2022: € 91 million, –13.8 %) in the first quarter of the current fiscal year. In addition to lower demand for tyres from European consumers at the beginning of the year, the platform business and the associated reclassification of parts of sales also contributed to the decline in revenues in the first three months. Gross merchandise value for Q1 2023 amounted to € 96.2 million (Q1 2022: € 105.5 million).
Q2 In the second quarter, the company generated sales of € 120 million, a year-onyear decrease of 7.4 % (Q2 2022: € 129 million). Due to weather conditions, the start to the summer tyre business was delayed compared with the previous year. While demand from private end customers stabilized in the second quarter, business with commercial customers was somewhat weaker year-on-year against the backdrop of the market situation. However, the decline in revenues in Q2 is essentially due to the platform business and the corresponding reclassification in sales. At € 147.5 million, the gross volume of goods was almost at the level of the previous year (Q2 2022: € 147.8 million).
Regional split The Group offers its product range in 67 countries. In H1 2023 revenues in EU countries totalled € 164 million (H1 2022: € 180 million, –9.0 %). Across all non-EU countries the revenue contribution for H1 2023 was € 33 million (H1 2022: € 39 million, –14.8 %).

Customer numbers The following customer numbers are the customer numbers in our core business - the online trade with tyres in Europe. In the first six months of 2023 a total of 253 thousand existing customers (H1 2022: 281 thousand, –9.9 %) have once again purchased tyres in one of the Delticom Group's online shops. Existing customers are counted only once during the reporting period, regardless of the number of purchases made during that period.
A total of 351 thousand (H1 2022: 379 thousand, –7.4 %) new customers were acquired in Europe in H1 2023. Since the company was founded, around 19 million customers have made purchases in our online shops. Over the half-year period, the number of active buyers (new customers and repeat customers) is 8.5 % lower than in the same period of the previous year.
Cost of goods sold The cost of goods sold (COGS) is the largest expense item; it considers the purchase price of sold products (mainly tyres). Group COGS decreased by 11.9 % from € 173 million in H1 2022 to € 152 million in H1 2023. The cost of materials ratio (cost of materials as a percentage of revenues) was 77.1 % in H1 2023 (H1 2022: 78.8 %).
Personnel expenses On average, the company employed 169 people in the first six months of the current financial year (H1 2022: 182). At the reporting date 30.06.2023, a total of 168 employees worked for the Group (30.06.2022: 178). Personnel expenses in the reporting period amounted to € 7.4 million (H1 2022: € 7.1 million, +4.4 %). The year-on-year increase is mainly due to the payment of an inflation compensation bonus to employees at the beginning of the year. The personnel expense ratio (ratio of personnel expense to sales) was 3.7 % in H1 2023 (H1 2022: 3.2 %).
Depreciation Depreciation and amortization in the reporting period was € 3.6 million after € 4.6 million in H1 2022 (–20.9 %). The decrease is mainly due to a reduction in depreciation and amortization of rights of use in accordance with IFRS 16 as a result of the leasing out of warehouse space and long-term subleases.
partly due to the development of business. In addition, other operating income also includes gains from exchange rate differences amounting to € 2.7 million (H1 2022: € 3.6 million, –24.9 %). Delticom reports currency losses within other operating expenses. In H1 2023, they totaled € 2.5 million (H1 2022: € 3.6 million). Accordingly, there is a balance of currency gains and losses of € 0.2 million (H1 2022: € –14.9 thousand) for the reporting period.


EBIT EBIT in the reporting period is € 3.2 million after € 4.3 million in H1 2022 (–26.4 %). Return on sales (EBIT as a percentage of sales) is 1.6 % (H1 2022: 2.0 %). For the second quarter, earnings before interest and taxes amount to € 6.1 million (Q2 2022: € 5.0 million, +22.0 %) after € –2.9 million in Q1 2023 (Q1 2022: € –0.7 million).
Financial result Financial income for the first six months amounted to € 521 thousand (H1 2022: € 755 thousand). Financial expense amounted to € 1.4 million (H1 2022: € 0.8 million). In connection with the extension of the syndicated loan agreement and against the background of market interest rate developments, financing costs increased year-on-year. At € –0.8 million , the financial result is worse than in the previous year (H1 2022: € –54.2 thousand).
Income taxes The tax result for the first six months was € –0.8 million (H1 2022: € –1.4 million).
Net income Consolidated net income in the first half of the year totalled € 1.5 million after € 2.8 million in H1 2022 (–45.7 %). This corresponds to earnings per share (EPS) of € 0.10 (H1 2022: € 0.19).

Liquidity position Liquidity as of 30.06.2023 totalled € 2.5 million (31.12.2022: € 3.0 million, 30.06.2022: € 4.8 million). On 30.06.2023, the company's net cash position (liquidity less liabilities from current accounts) amounted to € –31.7 million (31.12.2022: € –19.6 million, 30.06.2022: € –19.4 million). The year-on-year reduction in trade accounts payable was accompanied by an increase in the utilization of credit lines. In addition to the utilization of credit lines, current financial debt also includes the current portion of lease obligations under long-term leases amounting to € 8.8 million (31.12.2022: € 9.9 million, 30.06.2022: € 8.6 million).
Equity Equity amounted to € 41.3 million on the balance sheet date (31.12.2022: € 39.7 million, 30.06.2022: € 39.6 million). The equity ratio of the company at the balance sheet date stood at 17.5 % (31.12.2022: 20.3 %, 30.06.2022: 17.1 %).
Operating cash flow Cash flow from operating activities for H1 2023 was € –0.9 million (H1 2022: € –11.2 million). The year-on-year improvement resulted mainly from working capital. In addition to reduced receivables, the expansion of trade accounts payable in particular contributed to this development.
| Investments | Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment in H1 2023 amounted |
|---|---|
| to € 1.6 million (H1 2022: € 1.2 million). These are mainly investments in equip | |

| the sale of the US shares. | |
Financing activities Cash flow from financing activities in the reporting period totaled € 2.6 million (H1 2022: € 5.9 million). Since the beginning of the year, the utilization of credit lines increased from € 12.7 million to € 25.5 million in connection with the inventory build-up. Furthermore, a medium-term loan and leasing liabilities totaling € 10.1 million (H1 2022: € 4.3 million) were repaid in the reporting period.

There were no events of particular importance after the end of the period under review.
As a company that operates internationally, Delticom is exposed to varying types of risk. In order to be able to identify, evaluate and respond to such risks in a timely fashion, Delticom put in place a risk management system early on. The system is based on corporate guidelines for the early risk detection and risk management. An outline of the risk management process is presented on page 62ff in the combined Management Report for the financial year from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022, which is part of the Annual Report for fiscal year 2022, together with a list of key individual risks and opportunities.
Compared to the Annual Report 2022, the risk situation has not changed materially.
Global economy The Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW) expects the global economy to expand moderately in the current year. Global economic activity is gradually recovering from the corona pandemic and the Ukraine war. Although inflationary pressure has recently eased due to falling prices for energy and food, experts expect growth in the advanced economies to remain subdued in view of the withdrawal of purchasing power due to inflation. In addition, the deterioration in monetary conditions is expected to have an increasing impact. Overall, the IfW experts expect global GDP to increase by 2.8 % in the current year. Compared with the March estimate, the forecast has been raised by 0.3 percentage points, but the global economy is still cooling significantly compared with 2022.
Euro area The euro zone economy is expected to strengthen gradually over the rest of the year. According to experts, the European economy was able to contain the negative effects of the Ukraine war and overcome the energy crisis by means of rapid supply diversification and a significant drop in gas consumption. Noticeably lower energy prices not only lead to lower production costs on the part of companies, but also reach consumers. Nevertheless, in view of high inflation, private consumption is expected to remain subdued. In addition, the upward pressure on prices is expected to result in a further tightening of financing conditions. All in all, the IfW estimates that gross domestic product in the euro zone will increase by 0.6 % in the year as a whole.
Germany The effects of the corona pandemic, supplemented since last year by the consequences of the Ukraine war, have been dampening economic activity in this country for more than three years. Against the background of the weak winter half-year starting in Q4 2022 and stagnation in the second quarter 2023, the IfW expects German GDP to decline by 0.3 % in the current year. In this year's March forecast, the experts had still expected an increase of 0.5 %. For the rest of the year, inflation is expected to slow and private consumption to rise, not least against the backdrop of higher wage settlements.
Tyre Trade High inflation, weakening demand combined with rising costs throughout the value chain and widespread concerns about the global economy are also leaving their mark on the European replacement tyre business. In the first six months of the current year, according to the European Tyre & Rubber Manufacturers' Association (ETRMA), 12 % fewer tyres were sold by the industry to retailers in the largest sub-segment by volume (passenger, SUV and light truck tyres) compared with the first half of the year 2022. Consumers are postponing major purchases such as new replacement tyres as a result of a continued significant reduction in purchasing power. Against this backdrop, the manufacturers' association anticipates a year-on-year decline in replacement tyre sales for the year as a whole.
E-Commerce At the end of January this year, the German E-Commerce and Distance Selling Trade Association (bevh) was still assuming revenue growth in the domestic e-commerce sector of 4.8 % for 2023. However, due to developments in the subsequent months, this estimate could not be maintained. In a special survey conducted by bevh, two out of three companies stated that they had not achieved their planned sales in the second quarter 2023. In the first quarter 2023, only one in two contributors said this. One in two respondents (51.4 %) also said they had lost sales year-on-year in the second quarter 2023, compared with 45.6 % in Q1. Whereas in the first quarter 2023 one in four respondents still expected to be able to put the crisis behind them in 2023, only just over 20% of participants are currently showing corresponding optimism. Against the backdrop of retailers' pessimistic business expectations and the persistently poor economic data for Germany, bevh does not expect the relevant underlying conditions to improve this year. According to current estimates, e-commerce revenues in this country are expected to decline by more than 5 % for the year as a whole.
Revenues The addition of platform business to the shop business means that parts of the shop revenues are shifted accordingly. For the business volume shifted to the platform, the realized commission income is reported in revenues. Based on the development of the platform business in the first six months of the current year, it can be assumed that a sales volume of around € 30 million will be shifted from our shops in the year as a whole. This will be accompanied by a reduction in revenues as a result of the reduced revenue recognition. Accordingly, the revenues forecast for the full year has been adjusted to reflect this effect. We now expect full-year revenues in a range of € 470 million to € 504 million (March 2023: € 500 million to € 534 million).
EBITDA As the reclassified sales are with Delticom customers and still generate margins, this adjustment will not have any negative impact on the company's profitability. Accordingly, we are maintaining our forecast for operating EBITDA for the full year in a range of € 14 million and € 18.9 million.
New customers At € 243.7 million, the gross merchandise value in H1 2023 was 3.8 % down on the previous year. Accordingly, the number of newly acquired customers also declined year-on-year. A reorganization in marketing took place in the course of the second quarter. In addition to changes in responsibilities, this also includes the use and management of advertising funds. In view of the measures taken, we continue to expect that we will be able to acquire at least 1 million in new customers via the stores and associated platforms in the year as a whole.

Delticom AG (hereinafter referred to as the "company") is the parent company of the Delticom Group (hereinafter referred to as the "Delticom"). Delticom AG is entered in the commercial register of Hanover local court with register number HRB58026. Delticom's address is Brühlstrasse 11, 30169 Hanover, Germany.
Delticom is Europe's leading online retailer of tyres and complete wheels. The range of tyres offered to retail and commercial customers includes over 600 brands and more than 40,000 models for cars and motorbikes as well as complete wheel sets. Customers are also able to have the ordered products sent to one of the around 30,000 partner garages of Delticom AG in Europe.
Detailed information on the reporting company is presented in the Combined (Group) Management Report of the Annual Report 2022 in the section Business activities and in the section Organization.
For computational reasons, rounding differences may occur in the tables.
From 01.01.2023 to 30.06.2023 Delticom had an average of 169 employees.
In Germany, but also in the Alpine region and in Northern Europe, the seasonal change in weather conditions shapes the course of business in the tyre trade. As most motorists buy their winter tyres with the first snowfall and thus in the last months of the year, the first quarter is usually somewhat weaker. The second quarter of the year, on the other hand, is traditionally strong in terms of sales: temperatures in April and May are often already comparatively high and the sometimes pleasantly warm weather leads many car drivers to buy new summer tyres.
Finally, the third quarter typically levels off again somewhat: In the transition from the summer to the winter tyre business, sales are somewhat weaker. In most European countries, the last quarter is usually the strongest in terms of sales. In the darker months of the year, road conditions become more difficult, braking distances increase - and many drivers become directly aware of the need for new tyres. Weather-related shifting effects between the quarters and base effects compared to the previous year are unavoidable.
These interim consolidated financial statements for the period January 01, 2023 - 30.06.2023 (hereinafter also referred to as "interim financial statements") have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as adopted by the European Union (EU). All IFRS standards and IFRIC, in particular IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting), effective and mandatory at the reporting date have been taken into account.
IAS 34 requires at least the following disclosures in an interim financial report:
The interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 do not contain all the notes and disclosures required for consolidated financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of 31.12.2022 . The annual report 2022, which contains the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022, can be downloaded from the Investor Relations section of the company website or from the following link: https://www.delti.com/en/investor–relations/reports–presentations/
The fair value of the existing financial instruments approximates the carrying amount for all balance sheet items. The financial instruments in the category "Financial assets held for trading" amounting to € 203 thousand (31.12.2022: € 0 thousand) and in the category "Financial liabilities held for trading" amounting to € 0 thousand (31.12.2022: € 795 thousand) are classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As in previous years, there are no fair values in hierarchy level 3. Changes in fair values were recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Valuation is based on current ECB reference rates and forward premiums or discounts.
Due to the short-term maturities of payments, the carrying amount of trade receivables corresponds to their fair value. Income taxes in the income statement are calculated in the interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34.30c using a tax rate and mainly include tax expenses from the recognition of deferred tax assets.
In addition to Delticom AG as the parent company, the group of consolidated companies includes ten domestic and six foreign subsidiaries, all of which have been fully consolidated in the interim consolidated financial statements.
The following companies were fully consolidated in the current fiscal year:
| Subsidiary | Status |
|---|---|
| All you need GmbH, Hanover (Germany) | in closure |
| DeltiCar SAS, Ensisheim (France) | non-operational |
| Delticom OE S.r.l., Timisoara (Romania) | active |
| Delticom TOV, Lwiw (Ukraine) | in liquidation |
| Delticom Russland OOO, Moscow (Russia) | in closure |
| DeltiLog Ltd., Witney (United Kingdom) | active |
| DeltiLog GmbH, Hanover (Germany) | active |
| DS Road GmbH, Pratteln (Switzerland) | active |
| Extor GmbH, (Germany) | active |
| Giga GmbH, Hamburg (Germany) | active |
| Pnebo Gesellschaft für Reifengroßhandel und Logistik mbH, Hanover (Germany) | active |
| Ringway GmbH, Hanover (Germany) | active |
| Tirendo GmbH, Berlin (Germany) | active |
| Toroleo Tyres GmbH, Hannover (Germany) | active |
| Toroleo Tyres TT GmbH und Co. KG, Hannover (Germany) | active |
| TyresNET GmbH, München (Germany) | active |
There have been no changes in the scope of consolidation compared with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022.
The accounting policies and consolidation principles applied in these interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those used in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of 31.12.2022. For further details, please refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2022.
The IFRSs issued and endorsed by the EU as of June 30, 2023 are not mandatory until later reporting periods than the calendar half-year, unless an option for early adoption has been exercised.
Detailed information with regards to business trends and the profit and loss statement can be found in the chapter Business performance and earnings situation of the interim management report. The chapter Financial and assets position presents additional information concerning the balance sheet and the cash flow statement.
The majority of sales contracts (and the resulting revenues) exist between Delticom and private end customers. Delticom is a one-segment company with a focus on e-commerce. Sales are categorized by geographical region into EU and non-EU countries. Due to the short payment terms and comprehensive monitoring, it is not necessary to categorise the payment default risk. The e-commerce products sold lead to clearly identifiable contractual performance obligations.
The notes to the income statement, including explanations of significant events and transactions, are provided in the presentation of results of operations in the interim Group management report.
Revenue relates almost exclusively to revenue from the supply of goods to customers for the period from 01.01.2023 to 30.06.2023, of which € 97,316 thousand (H1 2022: € 105,518 thousand) relates to revenue in Germany. In the current financial year, the previous store business was supplemented by platform business. This resulted in a shift of store sales to the platform. Accordingly, commission income is recognized for the transferred share of sales. The shift of parts of the store sales has no negative impact on the profitability of the Company.
The following table shows the development of the other operating expenses.
| in € thousand | H1'23 | H1'22 |
|---|---|---|
| Transportation costs | 16,477 | 17,943 |
| Warehousing costs | 4,633 | 5,960 |
| Credit card fees | 1,386 | 1,474 |
| Marketing costs | 6,553 | 6,182 |
| Operations centre costs | 5,774 | 4,830 |
| Rents and overheads | 2,267 | 1,384 |
| Financial and legal costs | 3,625 | 3,305 |
| IT and telecommunications | 1,153 | 1,117 |
| Expenses from exchange rate differences | 2,529 | 3,600 |
| Other | 3,071 | 2,654 |
| Summe | 47,468 | 48,448 |
Basic and diluted earnings per share are € 0.10 (H1 2022: € 0.19).
In accordance with IAS 33, basic earnings per share are calculated as the quotient of the profit for the period after tax of €1,542,678.66 (H1 2022: € 2,838,580.53) and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year of 14,831,361 (H1 2022: 14,831,361).
No stock options were exercised in the reporting period. The vesting period for all stock options granted is four years starting on the respective issue date. In principle, all shares issued must be taken into account for the calculation of diluted EPS if the stock options have a dilutive effect. This is the case if the issue price of the new shares is lower than the average market price of the ordinary shares outstanding during the period under review. There is no dilutive effect in H1 2023.
No dividend was paid for the past fiscal year 2022 (previous year: € 0).
Related parties within the meaning of IAS 24 are the Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Delticom AG (category persons in key positions) as well as Binder GmbH and Prüfer GmbH (category significant influence on the reporting company).
In January 2022, Mr. Rainer Binder granted Delticom AG, via Binder GmbH, a bullet loan of € 1.0 million with a term of 24 months, an interest rate of 7.25 % and a signing fee of 4.0 % of the loan amount.
All transactions with related parties have been contractually agreed and executed on terms that are also customary with unrelated third parties.
There were no material changes in other financial obligations compared to 31.12.2022.
As of the reporting date, there were no contingent liabilities or claims.
These interim financial statements and the interim management report have neither been audited nor reviewed by an auditor.
The website https://www.delti.com/de/investor-relations/corporate-governance/entsprechungserklaerung/ shows the current statements made by the Management and the Supervisory Board of Delticom AG pursuant to Section 161 of the German Public Limited Companies Act (AktG).
To the best of our knowledge, we declare that, according to the principles of proper interim consolidated reporting applied, the interim consolidated financial statements provide a true and fair view of the company's net assets, financial position and results of operations, that the interim consolidated management report presents the company's business including the results and the company's position such as to provide a true and fair view and that the major opportunities and risks of the company's anticipated growth for the remaining financial year are described.
Hanover, 10.08.2023
(The Management Board)
We have reviewed the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements – comprising the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated cash flow statement, the consolidated statement of changes in shareholder's equity and selected explanatory notes – and the Interim Group Management Report of Delticom AG, Hanover, for the period from 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023, which are part of the Half-Year Financial Report pursuant to Article 115 of the German Securities Trading Act WpHG (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz, WpHG). The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU and of the Interim Group Management Report in accordance with the requirements of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) applicable to interim group management reports is the responsibility of the Company's Management Board. Our responsibility is to issue a review report on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and on the Interim Group Management Report based on our review.
We conducted our review of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (Institute of Public Auditors in Germany) (IDW) and additionally observed in the International Standard on Review Engagements "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" (ISRE 2410). These standards require that we plan and perform the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with moderate assurance, that the abridged consolidated interim financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports. A review is essentially limited to the questioning of Company personnel and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance as is attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our mandate, we have not performed an audit of the financial statement, we cannot issue an audit opinion.
Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU or that the Interim Group Management Report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) applicable to interim group management reports.
