A MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGEMENT BOARD

Dear shareholders, Dear friends of the Hawesko Group,

The business performance of the Hawesko Group in the first three months of fiscal year 2021 (1 January to 31 March) is gratifying. We are pleased to report a sales increase of 28 percent and - even more importantly - a disproportionately high increase in the operating result (EBIT) from € 3.9 million in the previous year to € 15.6 million in the reporting period, which we had already communicated to the financial markets in an ad hoc release.

Business development in the first quarter continued to be significantly impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. However, the comparable period last year was virtually unaffected by it. Demand remains elevated in the retail and e-commerce segments, due primarily to increased consumption at home, while severe restrictions still apply to consumption in the restaurant and hotel sectors. Our diversified positioning across the board has protected the Hawesko Group and enabled it to operate with confidence despite the channel shifts.

In the first quarter, the e-commerce segment achieved a strong 65 percent increase in sales compared to the same period of the previous year, while the figures for the Retail segment rose by 22 percent. Sales in the B2B segment were down 7 percent on the previous year due to a lack of sales in the restaurant and hotel sectors. Overall, the operating result was very positive: In the e-commerce segment, the EBIT nearly quadrupled to € 9.7 million (previous year: € 2.5 million), while the result in the Retail segment was € 6.4 million, more than double that of the previous year (€ 2.5 million). Despite sustained closures in the restaurant and hotel sectors, the B2B segment achieved a result of € 1.1 million (previous year: € -99 thousand).

Despite all the optimism in the e-commerce segment, we are fully aware that following the pandemic, some wine consumption will once again take place "away from home", and we are looking forward to this with our B2B companies. In e-commerce, on the other hand, this will probably curb growth temporarily, but in the long term it will not change the segment's expected positive growth.

The course of the rest of the financial year will depend heavily on the duration and form of the measures imposed to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, but also on the response of consumers following the relaxation of these measures. Thus, it is currently impossible to produce a reliable forecast of business performance for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Even during the coronavirus crisis, our brands such as HAWESKO, Jacques', Vinos and Wein & Co. have been demonstrating their strength. We want to further expand the market position of the Hawesko Group as Europe's largest, most innovative and profitable wine trading group in the premium segment. In this context, our innovative power, outstanding wine expertise and decades of experience in the wine market are invaluable.

We wish you the best of health!

Your Management Board

Thorsten Hermelink Alexander Borwitzky Raimund Hackenberger

INTERIM ECONOMIC REPORT

GENERAL ECONOMIC AND INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENT

Expected macroeconomic development in the future

According to a flash estimate of the German Federal Statistical Office, the gross domestic product in Germany declined by 1.7 percent in the first quarter, while the Eurozone economy contracted by only 0.6 percent.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects stronger growth in the global economy in 2021 than previously forecast, with real growth of 6.0 percent on a global basis (previous expectations: 5.5 percent). A positive effect of the vaccination campaigns against the coronavirus is anticipated, as well as further economic stimulus in several major industrialized countries. The IMF has likewise raised its forecast for Europe for 2021 economic output is expected to grow by 4.4 percent. These forecasts are closely linked to the prevailing pandemic. Widespread access to corona vaccination in industrialized countries and some emerging markets has a direct impact on overall economic development.

The German government expects the German economy to recover in 2021, depending on how the pandemic progresses, with pre-crisis levels not being reached until the turn of the year 2021/2022 at the earliest. Economic performance in the first quarter of 2021 will be adversely affected by the pandemic. It can be assumed that an improvement in the pandemic situation will be achieved by vaccinating larger sections of the population. The economy may regain momentum once the restrictions on public life are scaled back. Basically, the economy is initially divided into two parts: the

service sector, which is more dependent on social contacts, and a resilient industrial sector.

Despite the economic uncertainties, the German wine market will likely benefit from the tailwind of sustained strong private consumption in 2021. It should be possible to maintain the current high level of sales in the premium segment. The Hawesko management board assumes that the long-standing trends in the upscale market segment will persist and continue to be buoyed by demographic developments. The importance of online trading has also increased sharply in the wine business as a result of the corona-related restrictions. However, out-of-home consumption will again be impacted by restrictions in the restaurant and hotel sectors. Wine consumption trends in the other Central European countries generally resemble those in Germany.

The qualitative trends already in place will also continue in 2021 and remain formative for the market: professionalization in the wine world is increasing, consumer expectations are rising, and Europe remains a focal point of global wine consumption. Outside Europe, wine consumption is already noticeably increasing, and this trend will continue. Consequently, the strengths that the Hawesko Group has built up over decades are more important than ever as unique selling points on the market. The broad range of first-class wines, expertise in handling wine as a commodity, experience in specialized warehousing and transport logistics, and the ability to continually inspire customers and win their loyalty with excellent service and quality are all reasons why the group brands enjoy such a high level of recognition in the wine market.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

Financial performance

In the period from 1 January to 31 March 2021, consolidated sales rose by 28 % from € 123.8 million to € 158.6 million. The E-commerce and Retail segments contributed to this increase in sales with increases of 65 % and 22 % respectively. The B2B segment was forced to report a decline in sales of - 7 % due to the restrictions imposed by the authorities in the restaurant and hotel sectors.

Internet sales within the Group showed growth of 84 % across all segments compared to the same period of the previous year.

The consolidated operating result (EBIT) rose from € 3.9 million in the first three months of the previous year to € 15.6 million in the first quarter of 2021, corresponding to an increase of 304%. The E-commerce segment contributed to this development with an EBIT quadrupling to € 9.6 million and the Retail segment with an increase of 151% and an EBIT of € 6.4 million respectively. In contrast, EBIT in the B2B segment amounted to € 1.1 million. The consolidated EBIT margin was 9.8% (previous year: 3.1%).

Other operating expenses -7.642 -7.352 -290
RESULT FROM OPERATIONS (EBIT) 15.603 3.860 11.743

The increase in sales revenues in the first quarter amounted to € 24,6 million from a significant rise in online mail order sales. In the first quarter of 2021, online mail order sales amounted to € 53,8 million (previous year: € 29,2 million). In addition, sales in our own outlets and branches likewise rose significantly, as did sales to the food retail sector. This contrasts with a marked decline in sales in the restaurant, hotel and specialist retail sectors, which, however, showed initial signs of recovery towards the end of the quarter.

Consolidated gross profit rose by € 53.1 million to € 71.5 million in the first three months, corresponding to a margin of 45.1 percent (previous year: 42.9 percent). The rise in the gross margin ratio was due primarily to the increase in higher-margin e-commerce business.

The other operating income of € 4.0 million (previous year: € 5.7 million) consisted for the most part of rental and leasing income at Jacques'. Personnel expenses at € 15.8 million increased slightly

over the previous year, accounting for 10.0 percent of sales (previous year: 12.6 percent.).

Other operating expenses and other taxes compared to those in the same period of the previous year as follows: In relative terms, advertising expenses at € 10.3 million and 6.5 percent of sales were below the level of the previous year (€ 9.8 million and 7.9 percent of sales). This is due to the increased efficiency of the advertising activities, particularly in the B2C segments.

Expenses for commissions rose from € 9.1 million in the previous year to € 11.0 million, but accounted for 6.9 percent of sales, down slightly from the previous year's figure (7.4 percent). Expenses attributable to freight and logistics rose in absolute terms to € 9.8 million (previous year: € 7.9 million), accounting for 6.2 percent of sales (slightly below the previous year at 6.4 percent). The absolute increase resulted from the growth of the online business; in relation to the sales revenues; in relation to sales, the increased efficiency reflected the optimization of warehouse logistics processes. Overall, other operating expenses and other taxes totalled € 38.7 million (previous year: € 34.1 million), thus accounting for 24.4 percent of sales in the reporting period, after 27.5 percent in the same period of the previous year.

The consolidated operating result (EBIT) in the first three months of 2021 was € 15.6 million (previous year: € 3.9 million). This figure includes corporate costs of € 1.6 million (previous year: € 1.1 million). The EBIT margin was 9.8 percent (previous year: 3.1 percent).

In the reporting period, the financial result was slightly above that of the previous year at € -1.0 million. In the comparable period, the other financial result included the revaluation of financial liabilities in accordance with IFRS 9 at € 0.3 million. The revaluation was related to the purchase option of WirWinzer GmbH.

The tax result is € -4.7 million, corresponding to a rate of 31.8 percent (previous year: € -0.9 million). Consolidated net income paid out to the shareholders of Hawesko Holding AG amounted to € 9.8 million (previous year: € 1.9 million).

Earnings per share thus amounted to € 1.09, after € 0.21 in the preceding year. This was based on the figure of 8,983,403 shares in the reporting period (unchanged from the previous year).

TOTAL ASSETS 423.289 392.027 31.262

Changes from the previous year's reference date 31 March 2020

The balance sheet total at 31 March 2021 was € 423.3 million, an increase of € 31.3 million over the same quarter of the previous year. Cash in banking accounts and cash on hand rose significantly by € 37.6 million compared to the previous year, amounting to € 56.4 million as of the quarterly reference date. This resulted primarily from the significantly higher operational cash flow in the first quarter as well as the business volume in the previous Christmas season, which was already significantly higher than in 2019.

This development is likewise reflected in the increase in trade receivables. These rose in absolute terms by € 3.5 milllion, amounting to € 34.0 million. Trade receivables rose less sharply in relation to business development, due in particular to the high proportion of end-customer business with much shorter payment terms in sales.

Inventories decreased significantly by € -10.3 million compared with the corresponding quarter of the previous year, due primarily to the significantly stronger business performance. Moreover, the shares in the Ziegler company, which reported higher inventories in its balance sheet due to its production site, were sold as of 31 December 2020.

Changes compared to the reference date 31 December 2020

Compared to the value at the reference date 31 December 2020 (€ 427.7 million), the balance sheet total declined by approximately € 4 million on the reporting reference date. The decline was due mainly to significantly lower trade receivables and other assets. These typically peak at the end of the year due to the Christmas business and decrease accord-ingly in the subsequent first quarter. Accordingly, bank balances and cash in hand increased significantly.

Other assets and fixed assets developed in line with the figures as of 31 December 2020.

TOTAL LIABILITIES 423.289 392.027 31.262

Changes from the previous year's reference date 31 March 2020

The balance sheet total at 31 March 2021 was € 423.3 million, an increase of € 31.3 million over the same quarter of the previous year. In particular, financial liabilities were significantly reduced due to lower utilization of credit lines.

Due to the increased business volume in 2020 and in the first quarter of 2021, trade payables also rose significantly by € 20.4 million. Other liabilities, primarily from sales and income taxes, likewise increased accordingly.

Equity increased by € 14.2 million as a result of the consolidated net profit in 2020 and the result as of 31 March 2021, and amounted to € 127.0 million. The equity ratio before dividend payment was 30 percent (previous year: 29 percent).

Changes since the reference date 31 December 2020

Compared to the value at the reference date 31 December 2020 (€ 427.7 million), the balance sheet total declined by approximately € 4 million on the reporting reference date.

Long-term provisions and liabilities decreased, due in particular to lower contractual liabilities from the subscription business as well as leasing liabilities.

Short-term liabilities decreased by approximately € 10 million as of the reporting date, due primarily to the reduction of trade payables and VAT, which typically peak at the end of the year.

This was offset by an increase in equity due to the first-quarter result. The dividend for fiscal 2020 will be paid in the second quarter, which will reduce equity.

As a result of the sustained strong business performance in the end- customer segment, operating working capital decreased significantly by € -48.6 million, which was accompanied by a decline in inventories and only a slight increase in trade receiva-bles. By contrast, trade payables and other liabili-ties, which include primarily income and sales tax liabilities, increased significantly.

Due to the increase in earnings, cash in banking accounts and cash on hand rose significantly, while financial and leasing liabilities were reduced. Working capital thus increased by € 7.6 million compared with the previous year's reference date. It amounted to € 64.9 million as of March 31, 2021.

Less change in the consolidation group -13 0 -13
FREE-CASHFLOW 10.649 -11.717 22.366

For the Hawesko Group, cash flow from current operations amounted to € 12.8 million in the first three months, (previous year: € -8.9 million). (previous year: € -9.0 million). Due to the seasonal nature of the business, cash flow from ongoing business activity is usually negative in the first three months to 31 March, but reached a positive value due to the good business performance in the reporting period. The funds employed for investment activities amounted to € 1.2 million in the period from 1 January to 31 March 2021 (same period in the previous year: € 1.9 million).

Free cash flow amounted to € 10.6 million in the first three months of 2020, compared to € –11.7 million in the same period of the previous year. It was calculated from the net inflow of payments from current operations (€ 12.8 million), less funds employed for investment activities of € -1.0 million as well as the net interest received and paid out (€ -1.1 million) and changes in the group of consolidated companies (€ -13.0 thousand).

Investment analysis

Investments were divided into those in intangible assets (€ 0.4 million; same period of the previous

year: € 0.8 million), which were related primarily to licenses and expansion of the infrastructure, and those in tangible assets of € 0.8 million (previous

Sales in the retail segment (Jacques' and Wein & Co.) in the first three months amounted to € 55,7 Mio., an increase of 22 % over the same period in the previous year (€ 45,6 million).

With ongoing event and vacation restrictions as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the trend toward private wine consumption is continuing. In the first three months of the year, Jacques' posted a sales increase of 19.3 percent (on a like-for-like basis, this figure was 18.2 percent) over the previous year. With regard to Wein & Co., a like-for-like analysis of business performance is not useful due to the pandemic-related closures.

As of 31 March 2021, there were 327 Jacques' outlets in Germany (previous year: 320), as well as 20 Wein & Co. outlets in Austria (unchanged). At

year: € 1.3 million). The latter were primarily to investments in expansion and replacement in all segments.

Jacques', growth was due to an increase in customer frequency and to an increase in the average customer receipt. The number of new customers also rose slightly compared to the previous year. The newly acquired Jacques' customers are also generating more sales compared with the corresponding period of the previous year. At Wein & Co., the number of new customers increased by 88 percent in the three-month period. In both the online and bricks-and-mortar business, Wein & Co. increased its sales compared with the first quarter of 2020.

The segment EBIT rose from € 2.5 million in the previous year to € 6.4 million in the period under review. A major impact on earnings came from the discontinuation of tasting at Jacques' due to the coronavirus and the optimization of the online shop at Wein & Co. which compensated for the negative impact of the temporary closures at Wein & Co.

Sales in the e-commerce segment rose by 65,2 percent over the same period in the previous year, increasing from € 42,1 million to € 69,5 million

At the HAWESKO subsidiary as well as at Vinos, WirWinzer and The Wine Company, sales rose during the first three months by a significant double-digit percentage in each case. Growth was driven primarily by the increase in order volume from new and existing customers. Compared to the previous year, all brands posted increases in new customers in the upper double-digit percentage range, with higher sales per new customer. In the first three months of the current fiscal year, the share of sales made via the Internet continued to rise compared to the same period in the previous

year, accounting for 68 percent of segment sales (previous year: 61 percent).

The dynamic sales development in the e-commerce segment likewise had a positive impact on EBIT. The EBIT for the segment roughly tripled to € 9,7 million (previous year: € 2,5 million).

In the B2B segment, sales in the three-month period at € 33.4 million were 2.7 percent below the figure for the previous year (€ 36.1 million). Sales development was severely impacted by measures imposed by the authorities related to the pandemic, particularly by the closures of restaurants and hotels. The specialist and food retail segments increased their sales compared to the previous year.

The EBIT in the B2B segment increased to € 1.1 million in the first quarter (previous year: € -0.1 million). This was due to the increased efficiency of the shipping service providers as well as to the change in the structure of the origin of sales and the associated reduction in freight and logistics costs.
