Third quarter consolidated income statement

*share-based compensation expenses

HelloFresh maintains its growth trajectory and continues its consistent margin expansion in the third quarter 2018 with a 39.5% revenue growth on a euro basis and 41.1% on a constant currency basis (34.9% excluding Green Chef). As a result, the Group revenue increased from MEUR 216.7 in the third quarter 2017 to MEUR 302.2 in the third quarter 2018. Revenue growth is primarily driven by an increase in active customers of 43.7% up to 1.84m compared with 1.28m in the prior year period. Average order value on a constant currency basis increased by 2.7%, driven by a roll-out across key geographies of upsell options, such as premium meals, partly offset by a price reduction and the ramp-up of a value plan in the US towards the end of the quarter. Average order rate decreased slightly due to higher seasonality driven by exceptionally high temperatures in most of our geographies during the summer months compared to last year.

In the first 9 months of 2018, revenue showed a 40.7% rise on euro basis to MEUR 917.5 (prior year: MEUR 652.1) compared to the corresponding prior-year period. On constant currency basis revenue increased by 49.4%. The revenue growth is mainly driven by the increase of active customers.

In line with the trend so far this year, contribution margin, excluding share-based compensation expenses, improved in the third quarter 2018 to 25.9% of revenue compared to 23.2% in the third quarter 2017. In the first nine months of 2018 contribution margin (excluding share-based compensation expenses) increased considerably to 26.6% of revenue compared with 21.9% in the previous period.

Marketing expenses in the third quarter 2018 have increased to MEUR (85.1) or (28.2%) of revenue from MEUR (57.1) or (26.4%) of revenue during the same period last year. The increase in marketing expenses is primarily driven (i) by a meaningful ramp-up of our marketing activities during the "back to school" period in September across the group, as well as (ii) additional marketing activities in our US segment in September following a price reduction in our core HelloFresh brand and the ramp-up of new activities, such as our US value brand EveryPlate. For the first nine months of 2018 marketing expenses (as a percentage of revenue) decreased on a relative basis to (26.5%) compared to (27.6%) in the same period in 2017 reflecting benefits from efficiencies of our marketing campaigns.

General and administrative expenses increased from MEUR (14.9) in the third quarter 2017 to MEUR (22.6) in the third quarter 2018. Within general and administrative expenses, the scaling of our Tech team and Tech infrastructure represent the fastest growing areas. In the first nine months of 2018 the general and administrative expenses increased accordingly to MEUR (67.4) compared with MEUR (35.3) in the previous period.

Operating loss for the third quarter 2018 was MEUR (31.1) compared with MEUR (23.0) for the third quarter 2017.

AEBITDA, which excludes the impact of share-based compensation expenses and special effects, such as M&A related transaction expenses, saw a decrease by 49.4% from MEUR (17.4) in the third quarter 2017 to MEUR (26.0) for the third quarter 2018, representing (8.0%) and (8.6%) of revenue respectively. For the first nine months of 2018 AEBITDA has improved favorably by 19.3% to (51.6) compared to (64.0) in the corresponding prior-year period, representing (5.6%) and (9.8%) of revenues respectively.

US Segment

Revenue of our US Segment increased by 29.7% from MEUR 131.1 in the third quarter 2017 to MEUR 170.1 in the third quarter 2018. On a constant currency basis, this represents a 29.5% growth rate, driven by growth in active customers of 33.3% from 0.79m in the third quarter 2017 to 1.05m in the third quarter 2018, aided by the consolidation of Green Chef, partly offset by a slightly lower average order rate per customer by 2.8% from 3.3 to 3.2 respectively and a slightly decreased average order value (on a constant currency basis) by 0.8%;the decrease in average order value is driven by a price reduction in our core HelloFresh brand implemented in September and the ramp-up of our value brand EveryPlate, partly mitigated by the continued take-up of upsell offerings such as premium meals and "dinner-to-lunch". In the first nine months of 2018, revenue of our US segment increased to MEUR 538.4 compared to MEUR 394.6 in the previous period, representing an annual growth rate of 36.5% on euro basis (47.6% on constant currency basis).

Contribution margin of our US Segment, excluding share-based compensation expenses, increased in the third quarter 2018 as percentage of revenue to 25.8% from 24.0% in the third quarter 2017, driven primarily by efficiencies in our procurement operations. For the first nine months of 2018, contribution margin (excluding share-based compensation expenses) of our US Segment as percentage of revenue increased to 27.2% from 21.6% in the previous period.

AEBITDA decreased from MEUR (8.5) in the third quarter 2017 to MEUR (18.2) in the third quarter 2018, resulting in AEBITDA margin of (10.7%). In the first nine months of 2018, AEBITDA increased to (32.2) compared to (39.8) in the previous period, which results in AEBITDA margin of (6.0%).

International

Revenue of our International segment grew by 54.5% from MEUR 85.6 in the third quarter 2017 to MEUR 132.3 in the third quarter 2018 on a euro basis and by 59.0% on a constant currency basis. The expansion of our active customer base by 60.1% was the key driver of our growth, partially offset by a lower average order rates per customer from 4.1 in the third quarter 2017 to 3.7 in the third quarter 2018. In the first nine months of 2018, revenue of our International segment increased to MEUR 379.4 compared to MEUR 257.6 in the previous period, representing an annual growth rate of 47.2% on euro basis (52.1% on constant currency basis).

Contribution margin of our International segment, excluding share-based compensation expenses, increased in the third quarter 2018 by 80.1% to MEUR 35.1 from MEUR 19.5 in the third quarter 2017. On a relative basis, as a percentage of revenue, contribution margin increased from 22.8% in the third quarter 2017 to 26.5% in the third quarter 2018. The year-on-year contribution margin expansion was driven in equal parts by efficiencies in our procurement operations as well as in our fulfilment operations. In the third quarter 2018 we have seen an expansion of our contribution margin in substantially all major international markets compared to the same period last year. For the first nine months of 2018, contribution margin (excluding share-based compensation expenses) of our International Segment as percentage of revenue increased to 26.4% from 23.4% in the previous period.

AEBITDA improved from MEUR (4.3) in the third quarter 2017 to MEUR 1.6 in the third quarter 2018, resulting in an AEBITDA margin improvement of 6.2pp from (5.0%) to 1.2% respectively, due to an expansion in contribution margin and a reduction of marketing expenses as percentage of revenue. Q3 2018 marks the 2nd quarter in a row where the International segment as a whole has delivered a positive AEBITDA. For the first nine months of 2018, AEBITDA increased to MEUR 5.5 compared to MEUR (12.7) in the previous period, which results in AEBITDA margin of 1.4%.

Holding

AEBITDA decreased from MEUR (4.6) in the third quarter 2017 to MEUR (9.4) in the third quarter 2018, primarily due to meaningful continued investments and build-up of our Tech, data science and business intelligence teams and related infrastructure.

Share Based Compensation Expenses

The group operates equity-settled share-based compensation plans, under which Group companies receive services from directors and employees as consideration for equity instruments of the Company or one of its subsidiaries. The Segment expense is summarized below:

in MEUR	3 months ended 30-Sept 18	3 months ended 30- Sept 17	YoY growth	9 months ended 30- Sept 18	9 months ended 30- Sept 17	YoY growth
USA	0.1	0.4	(83.8%)	1.1	0.7	58.4%
International	0.4	0.3	41.9%	1.7	(0.1)	2,112.8%
Holding	1.0	1.3	(25.3%)	7.3	3.2	128.8%
Total	1.5	2.0	(27.1%)	10.1	3.8	164.9%

Share based compensation expenses have decreased year-on-year and sequentially vs. the second quarter 2018, as certain performance-based grants linked to 2018 profitability targets will not become exercisable.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period	256.6	106.3	256.6	106.3

In the third quarter 2018 HelloFresh generated a negative cash flow from operating activities of MEUR (14.8). Mainly due to a decrease in net income of MEUR (24.7), partly offset by positive cash flow from working capital. In the first nine months of 2018, cash flow from operating activities improved to MEUR (23.9) compared to MEUR (31.5) in the previous period. The development results primarily from the positive development of operating results.

Cash flow from investing activities caused a cash outflow of MEUR (6.7) in the third quarter 2018 compared to MEUR (3.0) in the third quarter 2017, mainly representing by capital expenditures in USA and Germany. In the first nine months of 2018, Cash flow from investing activities amounted to MEUR (31.1) compared to MEUR (8.6) in the prior-year period in 2017. This change was mainly driven due to the acquisition of Green Chef; Additions to property, plant and equipment totaled MEUR (14.5), compared to MEUR (5.9) in the prior year period, mainly relating to the ramp-up of fulfilment centers in the Netherlands and in the US, requiring MEUR (5.7) of PPE capex. In addition we invested MEUR (3.5) of PPE capex to improve production efficiencies for our US segment in the third quarter of 2019.

Cash flow from financing activities included proceeds of (i) MEUR 0.5 in the context of shares issued under our employee long-term incentive plan and (ii) the voluntary early repayment of long term debt of MEUR (30.0); regarding the latter, HelloFresh had amended on 17 July 2018 its MEUR 60 bank facility to further optimize its debt financing expenses: The company repaid the drawn MEUR 30 term loan tranche of the facility and upsized at the same time the undrawn revolving credit facility tranche from MEUR 30 to MEUR 60. Given that the undrawn revolving credit facility bears lower interest expenses, HelloFresh achieved lower interest charges without reducing its available liquidity resources.

OUTLOOK

There are no changes compared to the guidance for the full year 2018 contained in the 2018 Half Report, i.e. HelloFresh confirms its fully-year revenue growth guidance on a constant currency basis (excluding Green Chef) of 32% - 37% and its expectations of a contribution margin of above 25%.

We continue to target AEBITDA breakeven for the Group during the course of 2019.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

On October 17, 2018 HelloFresh Group has signed an agreement to acquire 100% of Chefs Plate Inc. for a consideration in the middle double digit CAD million range. The transaction makes HelloFresh the clear market leader in Canada.
