Palermo, September 5, 2023 - The Board of Directors of GIGLIO.COM S.p.A (Company or GIGLIO.COM) - a Company operating in the online sales sector for multi-brand luxury fashion, listed on the Euronext Growth Milan - approved today the results for the first half of 2023 according to the national accounting standards (OIC).
Exceeded 145,000 active customers in the last twelve months1
Main results of the first half of 2023 compared to the first half of 2022:
1 Active customers = customers with at least one finalized order in the last 12 months.
2 Gross Merchandising Value: value of sales before returns.
3 Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA excluding extraordinary (non-recurring) components, the latter amounting to €0.04 million and relating to the loss generated by the disposal of some company assets.
4 Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization represent a measure of gross operating profit and indicate the result before financial charges, taxes, and depreciation of fixed assets.

● Adjusted Net Financial Position5 : solidly cash positive and equal to 8.5 million euros.
"Despite the critical macroeconomic environment, this semester is a reconfirmation of our ambitions, thanks to results that are both brilliant and counter-current to those of our competitors. Close to break-even and with strong revenue growth, we look to the second half of the year and the future with confidence and determination", commented Giuseppe Giglio, President and CEO of GIGLIO.COM.
In the first half of 2023, GIGLIO.COM continued to follow the path of growth and profitability already undertaken in 2022.
The Company achieved Revenues from sales and services of 27.1 million euros, +23% compared to the first half of 2022, confirming the validity of the business model that consolidates the offer of over 200 partners in the high-end fashion sector.
The main factor that has determined these countertrend results compared to the main competitors is the assortment of the store, steadily growing thanks to the development of the Community Store, i.e. the community of active boutiques that make up the assortment of the Company. The Company sold more than 700 brands and shot 78,000 spring/summer 2023 products at the photographic studios in Palermo, now capable of reaching a production peak of 1,500 product shots per day. Therefore, the season experienced a 40% increase compared to the spring/summer 2022 in terms of the number of product sheets, as well as a 95% increase in terms of catalog value. Additionally, in qualitative terms the Company continues to pursue an increasingly high-end positioning, achieving an increase in the average value of products sold in the half-year close to 10%.
A competitive marketing plan has led to a strong customer base growth. Namely, the number of new customers acquired in the half-year marked a growth of 29% thanks to a lower acquisition cost compared to the first half of 2022. The customer base therefore exceeds 145,000 customers active in the last twelve months.
The half-year was also characterized by important events for the Company that had an impact on sales volumes. Among these, the entry into circular fashion thanks to a strategic partnership with a leading market player such as Vestiaire Collective. In addition, the launch of the mobile APP brought about significant optimizations to the UX of the mobile channel, thus resulting in a 6% increase in the conversion rate compared to the same period last year. Finally, the partial opening of the new logistics hub in Palermo has allowed the Company to significantly increase its order fulfillment capacity.
The strong growth in revenues is also combined with a strong improvement in profitability and in particular in Adjusted EBITDA (-0.2 million euros), with an impact on revenues of -0.9%, which represents a radical improvement compared to -4.8% in the first half of 2022 and -8.9% in the first half of 2021. The main reasons that explain this progression of 8 profitability points in just two years are:
5Adjusted Net Financial Position: calculated including the VAT credit, equal to 6.3 million euros as of June 30, 2023 (NFP reported 2.2 million euros + 6.3 million euros in VAT credit).

The Gross Margin6 equal to 28.8% which shows a progression of 1.1 points compared to 2022 and 4.3 points compared to 2021. In absolute value, this amounts to 7.8 million euros, an increase of +29% compared to the first half of 2022 and of +111% compared to the first half of 2021.
A rationalization of costs through which the Company has improved for all cost items their incidence on revenues. In particular, the incidence of logistics costs (transport, handling and packaging) on revenues decreased by 1.2 points compared to the first half of 2022.
EBIT7 amounts to -0.9 million euros compared to -1.6 million euros at 30 June 2022.
The Net Result amounts to -0.9 million euros compared to -1.6 million euros in the first half of 2022.
Net equity amounts to 10.2 million euros.
The Adjusted Net Financial Position as at 30 June 2023 totals 8.5 million euros compared to 11.9 million euros as at 31 December 2022. This negative change is attributable to two main factors. On the one hand, operational management still suffers from a condition where costs are higher than revenues. On the other hand, a deterioration in adjusted net working capita8 l, mainly due to the increase in other assets and the decrease in payables to suppliers, both due to the implementation of targeted commercial policies that are more profitable for the Company.
In order to expand the spaces and the ability to evade logistics, in January 2023 the Company closed the Palermo logistics headquarters in via Sammuzzo and at the same time created a partial set-up of the new largest operational and logistics center in Palermo in via San Lorenzo, opening half of the 7,000 square meters of the structure. The center - which already houses part of the logistics for the fulfillment of orders - from the second half of 2023 will also host the digital production of the catalog, i.e. the shooting department.
In May 2023, the Company completed the official launch of its mobile APP in order to provide its customers with an impeccable shopping experience on mobile devices.
At the end of May 2023, the shareholder Equilybra S.p.A. informed the Company of the reduction of its shareholding below the materiality threshold of 5% of the capital, following a distribution of the shares of Giglio.com S.p.A. to its shareholders.
On 29 June 2023, the Company announced a partnership with Vestiaire Collective, an international leader in second-hand fashion, for a circular economy project. In particular, customers now have the opportunity to sell their used clothes to Vestiaire Collective and
6 Gross margin: sales revenues on cost of product sold.
7 Earnings Before Interest and Taxes indicate the result before financial charges and taxes of the period.
8 Adjusted net working capital: calculated net of VAT credit, equal to 6.3 million euros as atf June 30, 2023 (4.2 million euros as at December 31, 2022).

receive in exchange a voucher to be spent on the GIGLIO.COM website, to buy new items that are worth the value of the item they sold, plus an additional 10% offered by GIGLIO.COM.
Following the shareholders' resolution of 26 July 2023, the Company launched a buy-back plan in August 2023, pursuant to articles 2357 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code.
In light of the uncertain macroeconomic scenario and consistent with the priorities already pursued in the first half, the Company will continue to aim for a return to profitability through a prudent approach to costs. Growth will therefore be sought through cost-effective strategies such as the development of international markets as well as the depth and breadth of the catalog, thanks to new brands and product categories guaranteed by the evolution of the Community Store.
