This Presentation is based on information which have not been independently verified and which may have not been audited. Any estimates and projections contained herein involve significant elements of subjective judgment and analysis, which may or may not be correct, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in no circumstances will HomeToGo, or any of its stockholders, affiliates, representatives, partners, directors, officers, employees, advisers or agents, provide any guarantee, representation or warranty (express or implied) or assume any responsibility with respect to the authenticity, origin, validity, accuracy or completeness of the information and data contained herein or assumes any obligation for damages, losses or costs (including, without limitation, any direct or consequential losses) or losses of profit resulting from any errors or omissions in this Presentation, reliance on the information contained within it, or on opinions communicated in relation thereto or otherwise arising in connection therewith.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Presentation contains certain forward looking statements, including statements regarding HomeToGo's future business and financial performance. These forward looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "future," "opportunity," "plan," "may," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements reflect, at the time made, HomeToGo's beliefs, intentions and current targets/aims concerning, among other things, HomeToGo's results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth and strategies. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding: objectives, goals, strategies, outlook and growth prospects; future plans, events or performance and potential for future growth; liquidity, capital resources and capital expenditures; economic outlook and industry trends; developments of HomeToGo's markets; the impact of regulatory initiatives; and the strength of HomeToGo's competitors. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. The forward-looking statements in the Presentation are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in HomeToGo's records and other data available from third parties. Although HomeToGo believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, these assumptions are inherently subject to significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond its control. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and such risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors could cause the actual outcomes and the results of operations, financial condition and liquidity of HomeToGo or the industry to differ materially from those results expressed or implied in the Presentation by such forward-looking statements. No representation or warranty is made that any of these forward-looking statements or forecasts will come to pass or that any forecast result will be achieved. Undue influence should not be given to, and no reliance should be placed on, any forward-looking statement. No statement in the Presentation is intended to be nor may be construed as a profit forecast. It is up to the recipient to make its own assessment of the validity of any forward-looking statements and assumptions. No liability whatsoever is accepted by HomeToGo or any of HomeToGo's Representatives or any other person in respect of the achievement of such forward-looking statements and assumptions.
The Presentation includes certain financial measures (including on a forward looking basis) that have not been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"). These non-IFRS measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS. HomeToGo believes that these non-IFRS measures of financial results (including on a forward looking basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about HomeToGo. These projections are for illustrative purposes and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. Metrics that are considered non-IFRS financial measures are presented on a non-IFRS basis without reconciliations of such forward looking non-IFRS measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. They are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded and included in determining these non-IFRS financial measures in order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-IFRS financial measures in connection with IFRS results. In addition, other companies may calculate non-IFRS measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore, HomeToGo's non-IFRS measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies

Use of Projections
Any financial information in this Presentation (including specifically the projections) that are forward looking statements are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond HomeToGo's control. While such information and projections are necessarily speculative, HomeToGo believes that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the project on extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. All subsequent written and oral forward looking statements concerning HomeToGo or other matters attributable to HomeToGo or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. The information contained in this Presentation is provided as of the date of this Presentation and is subject to change without notice.

Driver: # of bookings & basket size
- # of bookings y/y growth
- Shift to "workation" might structurally increase basket size, accelerating growth beyond conservative inflation assumption
Comment:
- GBV CPA accounts for approx 75% of total GBV with the remainder being CPC & Other
- LT target for CPA GBV is >85%
Driver: Take rate
- Improving mix towards onsite
- Ability to increase commercial terms as a high ROI traffic provider
- Close the take rate gap to major OTAs
Comment:
- Onsite share of 43% in H1'21 (% of CPA), with LT target of 80%

FINANCIAL MODEL OVERVIEW
Revenue buildup - consolidated

Driver/Comment
Comment:
- CPA Booking Revenue account for approx 80% of total Booking Revenue
- CPC & Other accounts for approx 20% of CPA Booking Revenues (10% of Group) with a long-term target of < 10% (5% of Group)
- Intercompany (IC) c.3% of CPA revenues
- Subscription & Services account for approx. 10% of Group IFRS revenues with mid-term revenues expected to account for c.20% of Group IFRS revenues

Other: Cancellation rate
- Covid has led to a structural shift in cancellation policies making them even more favourable for clients. We expect a gradual normalization of cancellations going forward, albeit at a higher level than pre-Covid
Comment:
- Assuming normalized seasonality and a growing business, the multiplier should be in a range of 90-93%
- CPC and Subscription Booking Revenue recognition matches IFRS revenue recognition, i.e. neither multiplier nor cancellation rate needed

- The 90-93% multiplier is an annual number and should not be applied on a quarterly basis as this can result in distorted seasonality

Gross Booking Value (GBV)
Non-IFRS operating metric defined as the gross Euro value of bookings on our platform in a period (including all components of the booking amount except for VAT). GBV is recorded at the time of booking and is not adjusted for cancellations or any other alterations after booking. GBV includes the booking volume as reported by the Partner for CPA transactions. For CPC GBV gets estimated by multiplying the total click value with expected conversion rate. The total click value is the duration of the search multiplied with the price per night of the clicked offer. This total click value we multiply with the average conversion rate of that micro conversion source for CPA Partners we have in the respective month.
Offsite Transaction
Transactions where the end booking happens on a Partner's site (referral types could be CPA, CPC, CPL etc.)
Onsite Transaction
Onsite CPA transaction, where complete user journey (from discovery to booking to payment) happens on HomeToGo domains
Partners
Contracted businesses (such as online travel agencies, tour operators, property managers, other inventory suppliers, software partners) or private persons that distribute, manage or own accommodations which they directly or indirectly list on HomeToGo Group platforms. Contracts with our more professional partners usually do not have a defined contract length, but if they do they typically auto-renew
