We see return rates levelling at pre-COVID rates, plus category mix has an effect on return e.g. shoes have higher return rate and increase in share of sales
Strong competitive on- and offline environment shows effect on gross margin. Development from Q1 2022 also stable in Q2
Distribution cost per order in Q2 2022 flat vs. PY (-€ 0,01) despite increased freight and packaging costs
Continued improvement on fashionette's platform with strong decrease in customer acquisition costs largely compensating increased marketing investment at Brandfield
Slightly increase of G&A cost driven by investments in training and recruiting as well as in technology at Brandfield

Strong operating cash flow in Q2 2022 of EUR 3.6m (Q1 2022: EUR -10.8m) mainly driven by optimization of working capital

Throughout the presentation, the Company presents unaudited financial information that is not required by or prepared in accordance with the IFRS standards. The Company tracks the Alternative Performance Measures to measure its general performance, achievement versus its (short- and mid-term) business plan and to make strategic decisions. It is used by the Company in monitoring, evaluating and managing its business and the Company believes the Alternative Performance Measures provide an enhanced understanding of the Company's underlying results and related trends. Further, the Company believes that the Alternative Performance Measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies in its industry and it may contribute understanding of the Company's business. The Alternative Performance Measures are no measurements of the Company's performance or liquidity under the German generally accepted accounting principles of the IFRS or any other generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to net income/net loss for the year/period or any other performance measures derived in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or any other generally accepted accounting principles or as alternatives to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities.
The Alternative Performance Measures do not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient for the Company's cash requirements and may not be indicative of its future results. Furthermore, the Alternative Performance Measures are not recognized under the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS), should not be considered as substitutes for an analysis of Company's operating results prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS), and may not be comparable to similarly titled information published by other companies.
Further, the Company presents other operating, non-financial and financial information throughout this presentation which are key performance indicators, not derived from its financial statements, but based on data from the Company's management reporting systems ("KPIs"). The KPIs may not be comparable to similarly titled information by other companies. They are for illustrative purposes only, unaudited and based on management's estimates, judgements and experience. While the KPIs should not be considered as a substitute for an analysis of the Company's operating results prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS), the Company nevertheless believes that such data assists it in evaluating the efficiency of the Company's marketing efforts.
