REPORT

INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT

This management report comprises the IFRS interim management report of fashionette AG as of June 30, 2022. In it, we report on how the business has developed as well as the status quo and the expected development of the fashionette AG group.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, all information contained in this Half-Year Report refers to consolidated IFRS figures (including the acquisition of Brandfield and consolidation as of July 1, 2021). In the following, Brandfield refers to Brandfield B.V., Groningen, NL, and Fastylo Holding B.V., Groningen, NL. The pro forma figures stated are figures that would result if Brandfield had already been included in the consolidated financial statements of fashionette AG on January 1, 2021, instead of July 1, 2021.

The International Financial Reporting Standard IFRS was applied in the first consolidated financial statements of fashionette AG as of December 31, 2021. Therefore, for the first time, the results for the first half of 2022 and the year before are reported in accordance with IFRS and thus differ from the half-year report 2021.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

In the first six months of the fiscal year 2022, fashionette AG achieved growth in net revenue of 50.1% to EUR 73,398k (H1 2021: EUR 48,893k). The absolute increase in net revenue of EUR 24,505k includes EUR 20,628k from additions to the scope of consolidation in conjunction with the acquisition of Brandfield. The number of new customers increased by 210k to 335k and the number of active customers grew by 596k to 1,007k, driven by the acquisition of Brandfield, among other factors.

By accounting for a 65.0% share of net revenue (H1 2021: 85.2%), the DACH region remains an important region for fashionette with a growth rate of 14.5%. In the Benelux region, the share of net revenue increased by 16.8 percentage points to 24.4% in the first half of 2022 (H1 2021: 7.6%). Absolute net revenue increased by EUR 14,225k to EUR 17,937k (H1 2021: EUR 3,712k), mainly due to the acquisition of Brandfield. In other countries, net revenue growth of 120.2% to EUR 7,785k (H1 2021: EUR 3,536k) was achieved, with Brandfield's share of net revenue in other countries at 41.8%. Overall, the share of net revenue in other countries increased from 7.2% in the first half of 2021 to 10.6% in the first half of 2022.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted mainly for non-recurring consulting expenses and expenses not attributable to operating activities and write-downs of disclosed hidden reserves in inventories, increased by 2.5% to EUR 491k (H1 2021: EUR 479k). The adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 0.7% (H1 2021: 1.0%), mainly due to external macroeconomic influences, especially the sharp increase in inflation and the Ukraine crisis. Reported EBITDA decreased by EUR 1,137k to EUR -1,057k (H1 2021: EUR 80k) with a reported EBITDA margin of -1.4% (H1 2021: 0.2%) and includes EUR 1,548k special effects (H1 2021: EUR 400k) as shown below.

Special effects are mainly non-recurring expenses in connection with personnel recruitment and placements, including the search for a new CEO. As stated in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021, hidden reserves in inventories were disclosed as part of the acquisition of the Brandfield group. In the 2021 consolidated financial statements, EUR 723k of this was already written off as cost of materials and also adjusted as a special effect. In the first half of 2022, the remaining EUR 723k from the disclosure of hidden reserves was written off as cost of materials and adjusted as a special effect. The hidden reserves from inventories have thus been written off in full as of June 30, 2022. These special effects are not included in adjusted EBITDA.

The reconciliation to adjusted EBITDA and the allocation of special effects to income statement items are as follows:

ECONOMIC REPORT

EARNINGS POSITION

In the first half of 2022, fashionette AG achieved growth in net revenue of 50.1% to EUR 73,398k (H1 2021: EUR 48,893k), including the growth from Brandfield. Cost of materials increased by 45.4% to EUR 44,368k (H1 2021: EUR 30,519k) due to higher volumes and the acquisition of Brandfield (EUR 11,374k). The cost of materials of Brandfield includes the amortization of the hidden reserves in inventories disclosed as part of the purchase price allocation in the amount of EUR 723k with a negative effect on the gross profit margin of 1.0 percentage points. Adjusted for this effect, the operating gross profit margin in the first half of 2022 was 40.6%.

Other operating income decreased by 7.9% to EUR 536k (H1 2021: EUR 582k), mainly due to lower income from exchange rate differences.

Amortization of intangible assets and depreciation of property, plant and equipment amounted to EUR 1,485k in the first half of 2022 (H1 2021: EUR 744k). This includes EUR 538k from the addition of Brandfield and EUR 320k in amortization of capitalized brand names and customer relationships.

Other operating expenses increased by 65.7% to EUR 24,242k (H1 2021: EUR 14,632k). The absolute increase of EUR 9,610k includes EUR 8,536k from the addition of Brandfield.

As a percentage of net revenue, distribution expenses increased by 0.6 percentage points to 13.0%, marketing expenses by 1.4 percentage points to 15.3%, technology expenses by 0.3 percentage points to 1.5% and the general and administrative expenses increased by 0.8% percentage points to 3.1%.

CASHFLOWS

In the first half of 2022, fashionette AG generated cash flow from operating activities of EUR -7,056k (H1 2021: EUR -9,092k), mainly driven by increasing working capital of EUR 5,838k, thereof inventory build-up of EUR 1,760k (including advance payments), a reduction in trade and other receivables of EUR 3,395k and a reduction of trade and other payables of EUR 7,505k.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR -572k (H1 2021: EUR -639k). The reduction compared to the previous year is mainly due to the costs incurred in the first half of 2021 for the acquisition of Brandfield (EUR 237k).

Cash flow from financing activities of EUR -2,103k (H1 2021: EUR -761k) includes the repayment of loans in connection with the acquisition of Brandfield in the amount of EUR 900k (previous year: EUR 0k), interest paid in the amount of EUR 854k (previous year: EUR 673k) and payments for lease or rental liabilities in the amount of EUR 349k (previous year: EUR 88k).

Opportunity and RISK REPORT

The main risks for fashionette AG have not changed since the publication of the Annual Report 2021 (p. 56 et seq.). Risks jeopardizing the company as a going concern due to insolvency or overindebtedness are not known.

FORECAST REPORT

After a solid start into the second half of the financial year, we continue to expect strong and profitable growth for fashionette AG for the full year 2022.

Despite the current economic situation, the group is showing growth with even increased marketing efficiency. In addition, we see further opportunities with yet unexploited synergy potentials from last year's acquisition of Brandfield, such as the further mutual integration of our selection and teams.

In this context, fashionette AG is continuously developing. But what remains constant, however, is our unremitting commitment to enable personalized shopping of premium and luxury fashion accessories for everyone who wants to complete, accentuate and individualize their outfit, and to continuously optimize our customer experience.

We believe that a personalized shopping experience of high-end fashion accessories based on the principle of accessibility and individuality, combined with curated product selection across all our online platforms will continue to make the difference.

Our proprietary technology platform gives us the opportunity to further drive fashionette's profitable growth through data-driven decisions across all functions.

Therefore, fashionette AG pursues the goal to further expand the group's share in the market segment for premium and luxury fashion accessories with a constant focus on the needs of our customers in order to become Europe's leading e-commerce group for premium and luxury fashion accessories. We are convinced that this strategy will maximize the value of the company in the long term.

As the Management Board, we expect that the group will benefit from the accelerated shift of brick-and-mortar retail towards e-commerce in the European market segment for premium and luxury fashion accessories, especially in times of growing uncertainty among customers.

The outlook is based on the assumption of a stable portfolio. The relevant opportunities and risks influencing the outlook are explained in the opportunity and risk report of in the Annual Report 2021 (p. 56 ff.).

The outlook is based on an assessment of the effects arising from the geopolitical situation and the state of the global economy. It currently assumes that there will be no further significant deterioration. The uncertainties arising from the development of the current geopolitical situation could have a significant impact on fashionette's operating and financial performance. Other factors to be considered are a possible further weakening of the consumer climate and discretionary income due to macroeconomic conditions, as well as an inflationary environment that puts additional pressure on the disposable income of consumers.

SALES

The Management Board of fashionette AG continues to expect net revenue of EUR 180 million to EUR 187 million for fiscal year 2022, corresponding to net revenue growth of +16% to +21% on a pro forma basis of EUR 155 million or +34% to +40% on a consolidated basis of EUR 134 million.

EARNINGS

The Management Board further expects adjusted EBITDA to reach EUR 5 million to EUR 7.5 million (2021: EUR 5.7 million on a pro forma basis or EUR 4.4 million consolidated).

4 Revenue

The group generated revenue of EUR 73,398k from the sale of merchandise, mainly via its web shops, in the first half of 2022 (H1 2021: EUR 48,893k). The increase in revenue includes EUR 20,628k from the expansion of the scope of consolidation in connection with the acquisition of Brandfield as of July 1, 2021.

5 Share-based payment

Expenses for the 2020 Stock Option Program amounted to EUR 491k in the first half of the year (H1 2021: EUR 135k). For further information on the 2020 Stock Option Program, please refer to Note 7.

6 Hedging instruments (interest rate swaps)

fashionette is exposed to interest rate risks resulting from concluding variable interest rate liabilities. For the purpose of reducing the volatility of interest payments, the risk management strategy proposes the conversion of interest payments into fixed rate payments by entering into payer swaps. To avoid accounting mismatches, fashionette applies cash flow hedge accounting to these swaps and the respective liabilities. The hedged risk is limited to the interest rate risk. Credit risk arising from the financial liabilities is not designated as part of the hedging relationship. fashionette applies a hedge ratio of 1:1.

With regard to the assessment of an economical relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, fashionette performs the critical terms match method. Hereby, the corresponding reference interest rates, maturities, interest rate fixings as well as the nominal amounts are incorporated in the analysis. The retrospective determination of hedge ineffectiveness is performed on the basis of the hypothetical derivative method. Potential sources of ineffectiveness result from the counterparty's as well as fashionette's credit risk.

The nominal amount of the interest rate swap as of June 30, 2022, is EUR 3,550k (December 31, 2021: EUR 3,850k).

As of the cancellation date of the 2020 Stock Option Program, the share-based payment was recalculated in accordance with IFRS 2, taking into account the known and estimated achievement of agreed performance targets at the time of cancellation, and the resulting remuneration was transferred to the capital reserve until the end of the term of the 2020 stock option program (accelerated vesting).
