Q1 2023 Highlights

We continue to invest in enhancing the customer proposition in meal kits

1 Group (excl. Youfoodz and GoodChop). Number of weekly recipes on offer 2Only for the meal-kits business

Our RTE vertical is very early in its lifecycle: Factor US will unlock significant additional capacity in H2

  • Limited competition in D2C RTE due to strong defensibility of business model
  • Improve RTE customer proposition by following HF's meal kit playbook
  • Grow brand awareness and consideration strongly

We delivered 278m meals in Q1 2023, a sequential increase of 13%

  • Meals (3)% down y-o-y, driven by y-o-y decline in active customers by c.(5)%, with comparative period still influenced by Omicron effect, as previously flagged
    • However, strong seasonal active customer growth by 1m or 14% q-o-q
    • Both segments contributed to positive sequential growth
  • We have maintained consistently high order rates and further expanded meals per order, also

We have increased Q1 Average Order Value meaningfully year on year

  • Group AOV increase of 8.9% in constant currency
  • Both segments showed meaningful increase in AOV:
    • NA: 9.5% (CC)
    • Intl: 6.9% (CC)
  • AOV increase driven primarily by:
    • Higher price per meal
    • More meals per order
    • Further increase in popularity of surcharge offerings and HF Market add-ons

Against a heavily impacted Omicron quarter in 2022, we delivered yet another record net revenue quarter, exceeding €2bn for the first time

  • Well diversified revenue streams enabled positive revenue growth of 3%, despite challenging comparative period and soft macro environment
  • Q1 NA CC revenue growth of +5.5%
  • Q1 Intl CC revenue growth broadly stable with (0.5)%

Q1 procurement expenses are somewhat higher due to inflation and mix effects

  • Procurement expenses increased by 1.4pp y-o-y driven by:
    • Continued y-o-y inflationary headwinds
    • Increased contribution of RTE to the mix (meal production is included in procurement for RTE)
    • More meals per order and higher take-up of HF Market add-ons
  • While both of the latter two points increase relative procurement expenses, they are accretive to overall contribution margin

We significantly improved fulfillment expenses as % of net revenue by > 2pp y-o-y

  • Continued sequential and y-o-y improvement in relative fulfillment expenses
    • NA : +3.8pp
    • Intl: +0.1pp
  • Further structural efficiencies to be realized through
    • Production network maturity and optimization
    • FC technology and automation

We expanded contribution margin in Q1 to 26.3%

  • Improvement in Q1 2023 contribution margin primarily driven by fulfillment efficiencies
  • Further efficiencies targeted for the rest of 2023, primarily driven by additional production productivity gains

Marketing activity at a seasonal high in Q1, amounting to (20.4)% of revenue

  • Front loaded marketing activities drove sequential increase in active customers by 1m at attractive ROI
  • Comparative period still impacted by Covid

We delivered a Q1 2023 AEBITDA of €66m

  • Overall, decent start of the year, considering strong sequential growth in active customers and successful contribution margin expansion
  • Provides a solid basis to deliver on the outlook provided

We delivered a solid cash flow from operations of €112m and maintained our strong balance sheet

  • €112m cash flow from operating activities supported by normal seasonal cash inflow from working capital
  • Cash outflow from investing activities primarily consists of:
    • €(95.1)m capex
    • €(34.5)m final acquisition earn-out payment to former Factor shareholders
  • Strong cash position at €467.2m; continued strong, largely unlevered balance sheet
  • Capex profile somewhat front-end loaded during the year, as previously flagged
