Structural profitability intact despite pressure on Gross Margin supported by low return rates, strong delivery performance and high customer satisfaction levels
Profitability affected by post IPO investments, such as the new warehouse, but also due to pressure on Gross Margins
Including the Mobly IPO proceeds the Group cash position increased to EUR 131m in 2021.
On back of the strong cash position we discontinued the anticipation of receivables from installment purchases in the LatAm segment (but can re-initiate at any time), leading to a one time Working Capital increase.
Q4 increased the cash position slightly compared to Q3 mainly through a positive cash flow from operating activities of EUR 10m.

All material contained in this document and the information presented is for information purposes only and does not purport to be a full or complete description of the Company and its affiliated entities. This presentation must not be relied on for any purpose.
This presentation contains forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the current views, expectations, assumptions and information of the management of the Company. Forward-looking statements should not be construed as a promise of future results and developments and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Various factors could cause actual future results, performance or events to differ materially from those described in these statements, and neither the Company nor any other person accepts any responsibility for the accuracy of the opinions expressed in this presentation or the underlying assumptions. The Company does not assume any obligations to update any forward-looking statements.
This presentation contains certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with IFRS and are therefore considered "non-IFRS financial measures". The management of the Company believes that these non-IFRS financial measures used by the Company, when considered in conjunction with, but not in lieu of, other measures that are computed in accordance with IFRS, enhance an understanding of the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows. A number of these non-IFRS financial measures are also commonly used by securities analysts, credit rating agencies and investors to evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performance and value of other companies with which the Company competes. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation as a measure of the Company's profitability or liquidity, and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, income data or cash flow data prepared in accordance with IFRS. In particular, there are material limitations associated with the use of non-IFRS financial measures, including the limitations inherent in determination of each of the relevant adjustments. The non-IFRS financial measures used by the Company may differ from, and not be comparable to, similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
Certain numerical data, financial information and market data, including percentages, in this presentation have been rounded according to established commercial standards. Furthermore, in tables and charts, these rounded figures may not add up exactly to the totals contained in the respective tables and charts.
