Palermo, 24 September 2021 - The Board of Directors of GIGLIO.COM S.p.A. ("Company" or "GIGLIO.COM"), a company active in the online sales sector for multi-brand luxury fashion on a global scale listed on AIM Italy, has approved the results for the first half of 2021, which were prepared in accordance with Italian accounting standards.
"I am delighted to share the results achieved this semester, which once again confirm the solidity of our business model arising from our relentless pursuit of excellence for our customers. With an increase in revenue of +60%, we were able to record the strongest half-yearly growth in our history, even doubling the volume of business compared to the same period in 2019. I am particularly proud of the work our team is doing in the international markets and the contribution they are making to the

achievement of results from the significant investments we are implementing. This allows us to consolidate our position as a luxury fashion destination and to look ahead to the future with great optimism". Said Giuseppe Giglio, President and CEO of GIGLIO.COM.
In the first half of 2021, GIGLIO.COM achieved Revenues from sales and services of EUR 15.2 million, an increase of +60% compared to the EUR 9.5 million recorded in the same period of 2020 and even doubled compared to the same period of 2019, confirming the validity of the company's business model, which proved resilient to external factors such as the pandemic.
This result is attributable to the extraordinary and renewed growth of international markets with the United States, now the second largest market after Italy, growing by 160% versus the same period in 2020 in terms of gross merchandising value. There was also a solid growth in the UK, which recorded +111% despite Brexit, and in France, which recorded +132%. In addition, there is a focus on fast-growing markets such as China, which quadruples revenues compared to the same period in 2020.
From a management point of view, the company marked a strong increase in customers acquisition, +69% compared to the same period last year, without however losing efficiency in the allocation of the digital marketing budget, where all the kpi remain stable compared to the previous year.
Despite the strong acquisition of the new customers, the company also recorded an increase in loyalty: the incidence of existing customers (acquired in the years preceding the current one) on total turnover rose from 52.6% to 53.5%, also thanks to a flawless shopping experience, which keeps the return rate below 10%.
The international branding campaigns deployed over the past few months, both online and offline, have generated an increase in brand awareness which has resulted in a sharp rise in the website visits of +72% during the first half of 2021, compared to the same period in 2020.
A key role was also played by the community store, i.e. the community of more than 160 active boutiques composing the store's assortment, with many new boutiques joining, thus ensuring a strong growth in the range of luxury brands available to the final consumer.
The company has also consolidated an e-concession model with several luxury brands, which now accounts for 3% of turnover.
EBITDA for the first half of 2021 was negative by EUR 1.3 million (EUR 0 million in the first half of 2020), due to higher transport and logistics costs linked to the strong international expansion, the outsourcing of the Milan hub (an activity which will soon be internalised) and certain contingencies, such as those linked to Brexit and COVID-19. In addition, the Company recorded a greater impact of other fixed costs such as personnel expenses, aimed precisely at structuring the team of talents of the future. Thanks to the greater contractual strength acquired, shipping costs will be mitigated in a short period of time. Furthermore, given the seasonal nature of the business, which historically generates higher sales volumes in the second half of the year than

the first, the Company is confident that it will also mitigate and absorb fixed costs in a short period of time.
EBIT2 is negative for EUR 1.7 million compared to negative EUR 0.2 million at 30 June 2020; this value is affected, in addition to what has been reported so far, by the greater impact of amortisation related to the revaluation of the brand carried out in the 2020 financial statements, but whose effects on the income statement start from 2021.
The Net Profit was EUR -1.8 million compared to EUR -0.3 million in the first half of 2020.
The Net Financial Position on 30 June 2021 was EUR 0.8 million, compared to EUR 1.6 million on 31 December 2020. This result is due to the economic performance of the first half of 2021, which is influenced to the seasonality of the business, typically shifted towards the second half of the year. The second semester is affected by Black Friday, Christmas and the other most important shopping events of the year which determine a greater propensity to buy and a greater value of the shopping list during the second semester. Furthermore, the NFP is affected by the decrease in cash and cash equivalents mainly as a result of the higher costs incurred in the period.
Significant events as at 30 June 2021
- Early repayment of the 2018-2024 6.25% mini bond. Due to its significant liquid assets and cash generation, the Company considered that the bond fully subscribed by Zenit had become excessively onerous and therefore Zenit SGR's consent was sought and obtained to perform early redemption;

2 EBIT - Earnings Before Interest and Taxes, indicates the result before financial charges and taxes for the period

- the listing process on the AIM Italia market was successfully completed on 23 July 2021;

Foreseeable development of management
In light of the recent listing on AIM, and in line with the business plan, the Company will continue to pursue international development, catalogue depth and breadth (thanks to the evolution of the community store) and technological development to support marketing and operations. The aim is to continue to acquire market share and grow in the second half of 2021.
