Q1 2022 was another record quarter for the AUTO1 Group. We have never sold more vehicles and achieved higher revenue in a quarter. Compared to the prior-year quarter, the number of units sold increased by 39,073 to 169,610 in Q1 2022. Meanwhile, the average selling price in Q1 2022 increased by EUR 2,766 to EUR 9,657 compared to Q1 2021, both Merchant and the Retail segments contributed to this increase. The Group revenue increased by 82 % year-on-year to KEUR 1,637,949 in Q1 2022, which is the highest quarterly revenue ever achieved. The continued rapid growth of the Retail segment and the strong performance of the Merchant segment contributed to this development.

Gross profit amounted to KEUR 123,956 in Q1 2022, which corresponds to an increase of KEUR 37,572 compared to the same period of the previous year. Gross profit per vehicle was EUR 69 higher than in the prior-year quarter and amounted to EUR 731.

In Q1 2022, AUTO1 Group recorded an adjusted EBITDA of KEUR -47,561, which corresponded to a decline of KEUR 33,224 compared to the prior-year quarter (KEUR -14,337) and an adjusted EBITDA margin of -2.9%. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA in Q1 2022 compared to the prior-year quarter results from higher marketing expenses to increase awareness of the Autohero brand as well as increased personnel expenses due to the expansion of the number of employees in line with our growth strategy. The Group's net loss in the first quarter of 2022 amounted to KEUR -66,920.

In the Merchant segment, both the C2B and remarketing channel developed very positively in the first quarter of 2022. Total revenue increased by KEUR 590,429 or by 74 % to KEUR 1,393,509 in Q1 2022 compared to Q1 2021. The number of units sold increased by 26 % to 155,052 units compared to the first quarter of 2021 (Q1 2021: 122,722). The average selling price amounted to EUR 8,987 and significantly exceeded the value of KEUR 6,544 of the prior-year quarter.

The C2B channel increased the number of units sold by 24 % from 106,140 units in the prior-year quarter to a total of 131,401 units in Q1 2022. The C2B vehicles sold accounted for 85% of the total sales in the Merchant segment, which underlines the strength of our core business. Revenue in the C2B segment increased by KEUR 478,837 from KEUR 671,783 in Q1 2021 to KEUR 1,150,620 in Q1 2022.

Aside from the C2B channel, the remarketing channel also recorded significant growth, despite the low availability of new cars. The units sold increased by 43 % to 23,651 units in Q1 2022 compared to the prior-year quarter, generating total revenue of KEUR 242,889 in Q1 2022 (Q1 2021: KEUR 131,296).

As a result of the strong performance of the C2B and remarketing channels, total gross profit in the Merchant segment amounted to KEUR 113,510, which was KEUR 29,118 higher than in the prior-year quarter. Due to the strong demand for used cars, gross profit per unit also increased by 6 % in Q1 2022 compared to Q1 2021 to EUR 732.

Autohero continued its rapid growth in Q1 2022. The number of units sold through our Retail segment almost doubled compared to the prior-year quarter to 14,558 units. With an average selling price of EUR 16,791, which was significantly higher than in the prior-year quarter (EUR 12,342), Autohero's revenue grew by KEUR 147,986 to KEUR 244,440 in Q1 2022. As a result, Autohero's revenues accounted for 15% of the Group's total revenue in Q1 2022, compared to 11% in Q1 2021. Due to the strong revenue growth, Autohero's gross profit more than quitupled from KEUR 1,992 in Q1 2021 to KEUR 10,446 in Q1 2022. Gross profit per unit also increased by EUR 463 in Q1 2022 compared to the prior-year quarter. These growth rates confirm the success of our marketing investments in Autohero's brand awareness and the attractiveness of purchasing cars fully online.

Current assets 1,627,026 1,488,112
Total assets 1,797,791 1,626,909

Non-current Assets

Fixed assets increased by KEUR 10,688 to KEUR 94,897 compared to year-end, in particular, due to further investments in our unique Autohero delivery fleet and our production centers for used cars.

Non-current trade and other receivables relate to receivables from the installment purchase option that we have been offering to Autohero customers in Germany and Austria since the previous year to make their shopping experience through our online retailer even more flexible. Non-current receivables from installment purchases amounted to KEUR 62,040 as of the reporting date.

Current Assets

Inventories increased by KEUR 170,214 compared to year-end to KEUR 753,763. This reflects our market-leading position as a buyer of used cars in Europe. The increase in inventories is attributable to both segments and illustrates the expansion of our inventory both for our growing Autohero customers and for our merchant partners.

Due to the higher revenue in the first three months of 2022, current trade and other receivables increased by KEUR 29,874 to KEUR 119,176.

Other current financial and non-financial assets related mainly to VAT receivables and prepaid expenses, which increased by KEUR 5,811 compared to year-end.

Liquid assets, which consist of money market funds and money market instruments as well as cash equivalents, decreased by KEUR 66,987 in the first three months of 2022. Short-term money market funds and money market instruments are used to minimize the effects of negative interest rates.

Equity & Liabilities

Total liabilities 942,035 705,894
Total equity and liabilities 1,797,791 1,626,909

Equity

The change in equity is mainly due to the current result for the first quarter of 2022.

Non-current Liabilities

In the first three months of 2022, non-current financial liabilities increased due to the raise and further drawdown of the ABS facility to finance inventories. This led to an increase in non-current liabilities by a total of KEUR 186,037.

Current Liabilities

Current liabilities increased by KEUR 50,103 to KEUR 386,053 in the first three months of 2022 compared to year-end. The increase in trade and other payables by KEUR 26,971 is due to the further growth of the Group. The increase in provisions and other financial and non-financial liabilities by KEUR 23,132 is mainly due to increased contract liabilities in connection with the increase in trade receivables.

THE FULL YEAR 2022 OUTLOOK FOR

03

We confirm our full year forecast for 2022 of revenue between EUR 5.7 billion and EUR 6.8 billion and gross profit between EUR 470 million and EUR 580 million, with an adjusted EBITDA margin between -2.0% and -3.0% with an increasing focus on profitability in the coming quarters. AUTO1 continues to target 650,000 to 770,000 units sold, with 70,000 to 90,000 units sold in the high-growth retail segment under the Autohero brand.

Events after the Reporting Period

In April 2022, AUTO1 Group has closed its first consumer loan asset backed securitisation in the amount of EUR 150 million. This will provide the sales financing for the Autohero cars offered as installment purchases.
