Number of active customers (in millions)

SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE's continuously growing active customer base.

With a growth rate of 27.3%, gross profit at group level rose even stronger than sales, from EUR 81.0 million during the first three months of 2022 to EUR 103.1 million for the period under review. Compared to last year, the consolidated gross margin rose by 1.1 pp from 26.6% to 27.7% for the first three months of the year.

Adjusted selling and distribution (S&D) expenses were EUR 83.6 million for the first three months of the year, or 22.5% of sales (3M 2022: 25.0%). The improvement is largely driven by higher marketing efficiency and slightly higher overall basket sizes.

Administrative costs for the first three months 2023 were EUR 14.9 million (previous year: EUR 15.3 million) and included one-off expenses and employee stock option expenses amounting to EUR 4.2 million (Q1 2022: EUR 6.3 million). The adjusted administrative cost ratio was at last year's level of 2.9 %.

Adjusted EBITDA was EUR 8.8 million compared to EUR –4.3 million for the first three months of 2022, translating into an adjusted EBITDA margin of 2.4% after –1.4% in the corresponding period 2022. Including depreciation of EUR 12.1 million (previous year: EUR 8.7 million), EBIT was EUR –7.6 million (3M 2022: EUR –19.2 million). After net finance cost and income tax, the net result was EUR –10.2 million compared to EUR –22.9 million a year earlier.

The equity capital ratio as of 31 March 2023 is 45.7%, which is slightly lower than the 48.6% as of 31 December 2022.

● LIQUIDITY SITUATION.

The operational cash flow of SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE amounted to EUR 44 million, which represents an increase compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year (EUR 23.8 million). This development was mainly driven by a higher operating result and a more favourable development of working capital movements.

During the first three months of 2023, SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE invested EUR –8.6 million, primarily in intangible assets. This amount is lower than the investment made during the same period last year, which amounted to EUR –11.0 million.

Cash flow from financing activities showed an outflow of EUR –3.8 million during the reporting period, which is higher than the outflow as of 31 March 2022 (EUR –3.3 million). This outflow includes interest payments related to the payment service providers that are active for SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE.

As of the balance sheet date, the company's cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR 31.6 million, reaching a total of EUR 98.3 million. Including short-term financial assets (deposits and securities), the amount stood at EUR 211.7 million, compared to EUR 180.1 million at the beginning of the period. This amount is excluding cash kept in escrow for past investments of EUR 4 million.

IMPORTANT EVENTS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD.

● CEO STEFAN FELTENS RESIGNS, OLAF HEINREICH APPOINTED AS NEW CEO.

During the reporting period, SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE's CEO Stefan Feltens announced that he would not be extending his contract at the end of its four-year term. On 15 March 2023, the board announced that Olaf Heinrich had been appointed as the new CEO. Following Dutch law, the Annual General Meeting elected Olaf Heinrich as a member of the Executive Board on 26 April 2023.

● STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH SWISS HEALTH CARE SERVICE PROVIDER GALENICA AG.

At the end of the reporting period, SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE revealed its intention to enter into a strategic partnership with GALENICA AG, a leading healthcare provider in Switzerland. As part of this transaction, shop-apotheke.ch and GALENICA's subsidiary, Mediservice AG, will combine their businesses, operating under the name Mediservice AG in Zuchwil, Switzerland. André Lüscher, the current CEO of Mediservice AG, will remain as CEO, while Stephan Weber, CCO and Co-Founder of SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE, will be the new president of the board of directors.

After the intended transaction, SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE will hold a 51% stake in Mediservice AG, and GALENICA will hold 49%. In exchange for selling 51% of Mediservice AG, GALENICA will receive 1.2 million shares of SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE, which account for approximately 6% of the shares outstanding post-transaction. Additionally, GALENICA will purchase 0.4 million shares with a cash payment of EUR 29 million to SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE. Following the capital increase, GALENICA's shareholding in SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE will be 8%.

The competition authorities still need to approve the transaction as of the reporting date. As such the transaction has not been closed and therefore there is no impact from the acquisition on the SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE figures for Q1 2023.

EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE.

No events have occurred since 31 March 2023, which have a material impact on the company's consolidated financial statements.

FORECAST.

Mediservice AG's current business is expected to generate net sales of around CHF 450 million with an EBITDA margin between 2% and 3% for the full year 2023. The guidance for 2023 will be reconfirmed or updated after the transaction has been completed to reflect this addition.

Apart from the impact of the Mediservice AG transaction, the management of SHOP APOTHEKE EUROPE confirms the guidance provided on 7 March 2023 for the full year 2023:
