Owning the Future: based on our strength as Global Leader by size, growth and margin, we have decided to reinvest part of our margin gains in H2

Implement Multi-Brand Strategy for the US market

Price & Selection Leadership for HelloFresh US

Ramp up New Geography in International

We will vastly expand our TAM by offering distinct meal plan solutions at different price tiers

Green Chef Integration with very good progress to date, setting us up for growth and success in Q4

Our brand "EveryPlate" targets a previously untapped demographic, leveraging the scale and cost advantages of the HelloFresh platform

o
o

Recent strong Margin Improvements make a price decrease the superior strategy for long – term LTV optimization and market share

Investment in Price Leadership will adversely impact bottom-line in the shortrun but is very beneficial in the medium- and long-run

In H2, we will also start to ramp up investment in New Business opportunities for sustained long–term value creation

Business Outlook for H2

REVENUE

Organic1 group revenue growth target for 2018 increased to c. 32% - 37% (on constant currency) from previously 30% - 35%

CONTRIBUTION MARGIN

Contribution margin > 25% re-confirmed, in spite of additional investments in price, selection and new verticals in H2

AEBITDA

Given certain investments in growth in H2, we expect that our previous target of AEBITDA breakeven for the Group (ex Green Chef) in Q4 2018 will be reached later during the course of 2019
