SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD

Successful IPO

Since May 27, 2016, Maisons du Monde S.A. has been listed on the regulated market of Euronext Paris. The listing of the shares is intended to enable the Group to reduce its indebtedness and increase its financial flexibility in order to support its development and growth strategy.

In connection with the Initial Public Offering (through the admission on Euronext Paris stock exchange and trading and listing of the shares of Maisons du Monde S.A. (formerly Magnolia (BC) SAS)), Maisons du Monde Group's shareholders undertook a corporate reorganisation of the group. The main drivers for this reorganisation were (i) to streamline the holding structure of the Group, (ii) to simplify shareholding at the date of settlement, and by doing so, (iii) to facilitate the IPO.

In this context, a number of mergers took place (as further detailed in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements enclosed), among which the reverse merger of Magnolia (BC) Midco S.à.r.l. ("Luxco 3" previous parent company of the Group) with and into Maisons du Monde S.A, therefore becoming the new parent of the Group.

Main impacts of the corporate reorganisation on financial statements are as follows:

  • Cancellation of Preferred Equity Instrument (PECs) issued by Luxco 3 to its former parent company;
  • Redemption of a €62.8m vendor loan debt resulting from the acquisition of the Group by Bain Capital in 2013 and transferred to the Group by an absorbed company;
  • Share capital increase of Maisons du Monde S.A. in consideration for the transfer of all assets and liabilities of the absorbed companies.
  • Refinancing

In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Group decided to refinance and repay certain outstanding debt, which resulted in a leverage ratio improvement as well as a

reduction of interest expense (as further detailed in Note 11 and Note 22 to condensed consolidated interim financial statements enclosed). Main refinancing transactions were as follows:

  • Full repayment of the €325 million High Yield Bond including accrued interest;
  • Payment of a €19.7 million premium to Bondholders ("Former financing") for early redemption;
  • Write-off of issuance fees related to High Yield Bond and previous Revolving Credit Facility ("Former financing") through P&L for €16.7 million;
  • Maisons du Monde S.A. entered into a new senior credit facility including a term loan of €250 million and a new revolving credit facility.
  • IPO related fees

IPO related fees including refinancing fees booked through P&L amount to €47.5 million (as further detailed in Note 1.3 to condensed consolidated interim financial statements enclosed).

1.1.1 REVENUE

Like-for-like Customer Sales growth between one quarter (semester) and the comparable preceding quarter (semester), represents the percentage change in Customer Sales from the Group's stores, online sales platforms and B2B activities, net of product returns, between one quarter (semester) and the comparable preceding quarter (semester), excluding changes in Customer Sales attributable to stores that were opened or closed during any of the years in which quarters (semesters) are being compared, and stores for which, as of the end of the most recent quarter (semester), a definitive closing decision has been made by the management. Customer Sales attributable to stores that closed temporarily for refurbishment during any of the quarters (semesters) are included.

The table below sets forth the Group's like-for-like Customer Sales for the periods indicated.

Customer sales increased by €44.7 million, or 28.8% from €155.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2015 to €200.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016. This increase was primarily driven by the Group's like-for-like Customer Sales growth of 16.4%, attributable to (i) the strength of the collection, (ii) the continued increase in online sales, which rose by €12.0 million, or 40.9% from €29.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2015 to €41.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 (representing approximately 20% of the quarterly Customer Sales), and (iii) continued focus on retail excellence. This increase was also due to the opening of 12 gross new stores during the threemonth period ended June 30, 2016 (equally distributed between France and international markets), slightly offset by the closure of one smaller store in France.

On a six month basis, Customer Sales increased by €85.3 million, or 28.0% from €304.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to €389.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. This increase was primarily driven by the Group's like-for-like Customer Sales growth of 16.6%, attributable to the factors mentioned above. The increase in Customer Sales was also due to the opening of 41 gross new stores between June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016, which have an average retail trading space of approximately 1 300 square meters (of which 23 were in France and 18 were in international market) and the full-period impact of 6 stores opened in the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 (of which 2 were in France and 4 were in international market). This increase was partly offset by the closure (permanently or temporarily for relocation) of 8 smaller stores since June 30, 2015 (with an average retail trading space of approximately 400 square meters) and the full-period effect of the closure (permanently or temporarily for relocation) of five smaller stores in the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 (with an average retail trading space of approximately 400 square meters).

Customer Sales generated in France increased by €50.6 million, or 25.4%, from €199.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to €250.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily driven by positive like-for-like Customer Sales growth which was supported by the strength of the 2016 Spring/Summer decoration collection which featured certain thematic continuity with the Autumn/Winter 2015 collection themes, the continued implementation of the Group's omnichannel strategy, and the general improving macroeconomic conditions during the period, as well as the Group's continued focus on retail excellence. The increase in Customer Sales was also attributable to the opening of 23 gross new stores between June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016, with an average retail trading space of approximately 1 000 square meters, and the full-period impact of two stores opened in the six-month period ended June 30, 2015. The increase in Customer Sales was partially offset by the closure (permanently or temporarily for relocation) of seven smaller stores since June 30, 2015 (with an average retail trading space of approximately 400 square meters) and the full-period effect of five smaller stores closed (permanently or temporarily for relocation) in the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 (with an average retail trading space of approximately 400 square meters).

International Customer Sales increased by €34.7 million, or 33.1%, from €104.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to €139.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. This growth was primarily the result of Like-for-like Customer Sales growth, supported by online sales and organic store growth, and ongoing development of the network, including the opening of 18 gross new stores between June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016 with an average retail trading space of approximately 1 500 square meters. This increase was slightly offset by the closure of one store for relocation between June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016.

The Group's product mix between decorative products and furniture remained stable during the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, with decorative products slightly above furniture (the former representing 51.9% of the Customer Sales compared to 48.1% for the latter). Both in 2015 and 2016, the proportion of furniture in Customer Sales was higher during the three-month period ended June 30, which is mainly due to a larger portion of the Group's Customer Sales from the online channel during the period.

Additionally, other revenue contributed €1.3 million to the increase in consolidated revenue. This increase of 23.2% as compared to the first half 2015 was mainly due to a higher volume of transportation services sold to customers through the online channel.

As a result of the above, the Group's consolidated revenue increased by €86.9 million, or 27.5%, from €315.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to €402.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016.

Gross Margin 257.2 202.3
Gross Margin % 66.0% 66.5%

N.B. Gross margin is defined as Customer Sales minus cost of sales, expressed as a percentage of Customer Sales.

Cost of sales increased by €30.4 million, or 29.8%, from €102.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to €132.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. As a percentage of Customer Sales, cost of sales increased from 33.5% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to 34.0% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016. The slight increase was due to the increased U.S. dollar to Euro rate used for the contracts through which the Group hedges all of its purchases of goods and maritime shipping denominated in U.S. dollars.

As a consequence of the above, the Group recorded a gross margin of €257.2 million, representing 66.0% of Customer Sales compared with an amount of €202.3 million (66.5 % of Customer Sales) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015.

1.1.3 CURRENT OPERATING PROFIT BEFORE OTHER OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES

Personnel expenses increased by €13.7 million, or 20.2%, from €67.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to €81.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 as headcount (excluding Mekong Furniture) increased from 4,027 average FTEs over the sixmonth period ended June 30, 2015 to 4,470 average FTEs over the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. This increase is mainly attributable to new store openings, and the full-year impact of additional resources hired in 2015 dedicated to central functions.

As a percentage of Customer Sales, personnel expenses decreased from 22.2% for the sixmonth period ended June 30, 2015 to 20.9% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. This decrease was mainly due to (i) the personnel costs of comparable stores that remained relatively flat in a context of strong like-for-like growth, and (ii) changes in the mix of the Customer Sales generated by distribution channel, with a lower personnel cost base required for online sales (which increased relative to store sales during the period). This decrease was partly offset by an increase in employee profit sharing of €1.6 million.

External expenses increased by €28.5 million, or 22.4%, from €127.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to €156.0 million for six-month period ended June 30, 2016. This increase was mainly due to (i) the increase in transportation costs by 30.1% as a result of a higher level of Customer Sales; (ii) the continued increase in store space related to net store openings from a store selling surface area of approximately 262,000 square meters as of June 30, 2015 to approximately 310,000 square meters as of June 30, 2016 which affected leases and related expenses, energy and repair and maintenance; (iii) the increase in recourse to temporary staff due to the optimization of the Group's store workforce in a context of new stores openings; (iv) the increase in advertising and marketing expenses which overall remain stable as a percentage of customer sales.

As a percentage of Customer Sales, external expenses decreased from 41.9% for the sixmonth period ended June 30, 2015 to 40.0% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in external expenses as a percentage of Customer Sales was driven primarily by fixed cost leverage and the growing share of Customer Sales from the Group's online channel, which carries lower external expenses. This decrease was partially offset by a higher level of temporary staff as a percentage of Customer Sales due to the planned openings of new stores.

Depreciation, amortization and allowance for provisions increased by €1.2 million, or 9.7%, from €12.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to €13.5 million for the sixmonth period ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to the depreciation and amortization of fixed assets in a context of new stores openings.

As a percentage of Customer Sales, depreciation, amortization and allowance for provisions decreased from 4.0% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to 3.5% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, thanks to customer sales growing faster than depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, partly due to the growth on online sales.

The change in fair value of the Group's derivative financial instruments that globally cover the purchases of goods and maritime shipping in U.S. dollars represented a €11.3 million loss in the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 as compared to a €7.0 million gain for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015. Since January 1, 2016, the Group applies hedge accounting which would reduce the amount of charges to the consolidated income statement on a period-by-period basis. The difference between the two accounting methods consists in having an equity impact (new accounting method) instead of a P&L impact (previous accounting method) for the change in fair value of the hedging contracts. The P&L impact of the change in fair value of the Group's derivative financial instruments for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 mainly comes from the reversal of the fair value of derivative financial instruments held by the group at the end of December 2015. The residual value of the derivative financial instruments existing as of December 31, 2015 should be reversed with a P&L impact by the end of June 2017.

Other income and expenses from operations increased from a €1.8 million expense for the sixmonth period ended June 30, 2015 to €2.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. This increase was primarily due to certain losses from unauthorized online credit card charges following the introduction of a new online payment platform, which generated significant increase in conversion rates, and an increase in pre-opening expenses due to the pace and number of store openings.

As a result of the aforementioned factors, current operating profit before other operating income and expenses decreased by €6.4 million, from an income of €11.3 million for the sixmonth period ended June 30, 2015 to an income of €4.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. When excluding the effect of the change in fair value of the derivative financial instruments, current operating profit before other operating income and expenses increased by €11.9 million from an income of €4.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to an income of €16.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016.

1.1.4 EBITDA

The Group defines its annual EBITDA as its current operating profit before other operating income and expenses excluding i) depreciation, amortization and allowance for provisions and ii) the change in fair value of its derivative instruments, which are both non-cash items, as well as iii) the management fees paid to the controlling shareholders to cover for management and administrative expenses (until the IPO) and iv) store pre-opening expenses which relate to expenses incurred prior to the opening of new stores.

Semester EBITDA uses the same definition as annual EBITDA except that it includes (i) a pro rata amount corresponding to one half of the annual catalog-related expenses and (ii) a pro rata amount of the annual impact of IFRIC 21 on costs related to certain government levies that were accounted for in full in the first quarters of 2015 and 2016.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the Group's EBITDA to its current operating profit before other operating income and expenses for the periods under review.

Pre-opening expenses(1) 1.6 1.1
Catalog related expenses 6.8 6.7
IFRIC 21 costs 1.3 0.9
EBITDA 40.3 26.3

(1) Pre-opening expenses refers to expenses related to the opening of new stores that are incurred prior to the relevant opening during any of the periods under review and include leases and related charges, personnel expenses, energy and temporary staff costs including for the set-up of store merchandising.

The Group's EBITDA increased by €14.0 million, or 53.5%, from €26.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to €40.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. This increase was mainly driven by strong like-for-like Customer Sales growth, and the perimeter effect of new store openings.

As a percentage of Customer Sales, EBITDA margin increased from 8.6% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to 10.3% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. This increase as a percentage of Customer Sales was mainly due to the fixed nature of the cost base of the comparable stores (mainly comprising personnel, rents and related rental charges) in a context of strong like-for-like Customer Sales growth during the period.

EBITDA in France increased by €13.7 million, or 42.7%, from €32.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to €45.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. This increase was mainly driven by strong like-for-like growth and the perimeter effect of the new stores. As a percentage of France Customer Sales, France EBITDA margin (excluding Corporate) increased from 16.1% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to 18.3% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, driven by strong like-for-like Customer Sales growth.

International EBITDA increased by €4.5 million, or 27.9%, from €16.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to €20.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. This increase was mainly driven by like-for-like Customer Sales growth. As a percentage of International Customer Sales, International EBITDA margin (excluding Corporate) decreased from 15.5% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to 14.9% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, as a result of the recent ramp up of stores in new countries (Germany and Switzerland).

The Group defines EBIT as EBITDA less depreciation, amortization and allowance for provisions. EBIT is not a measure of performance or liquidity under IFRS. See "Non-IFRS Financial Measures".

1.1.6 OTHER OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES

The Group's other operating income and expenses represented a net expense of €10.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to a net expense of € 0.3 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2015. This change is mainly due to costs incurred in the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 in connection with the IPO, given that IPO related fees recorded for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 amounted to €11.1 million.

1.1.7 FINANCIAL PROFIT (LOSS) – NET

Financial loss increased by €32.9 million, or 96.5 %, from €34.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to €67.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. This change is mainly due to costs incurred in the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 in connection with the IPO, given that (i) the early redemption fees for the former High Yield financing, amounted to €19.7 million and (ii) the write-off of issuance fees on the former High Yield and RCF, which amounted to €16.7 million, without impact on cash.

As of June 30, 2016, the refinancing that occurred at the end of May 2016 has not yet had a material impact on the cost of net debt.

1.1.8 INCOME TAX

Income tax represented an income of €18.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, compared to an income of €0.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, income tax comprised of (i) current income tax expense for €2.7 million (€2.3 million current income tax expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015), including CVAE and IRAP (Italian regional tax on productive activities) of €2.1 million (€2.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015) in the aggregate and (ii) a deferred tax income of €21.5 million (€2.8 million deferred tax income for the sixmonth period ended June 30, 2015). The variance in deferred tax income mainly comes from

net operating losses (NOLs) generated in particular by the IPO related fees and the variance in the change in fair value of the derivative financial instruments.

1.1.9 PROFIT (LOSS) FOR THE PERIOD

As a consequence of the above, the Group recorded a loss of €53.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, compared with a loss of €22.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015.

Adjusted profit for the period (as defined in note 1.1) amounts to €8.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016.

Free cash flow from/(used in) operating activities is not a measure of performance or liquidity under IFRS. See "Non-IFRS Financial Measures".

(2) Out of the capital expenditure of €45.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, €20.6 million was attributable to the repurchase by the Group of certain shares in Luxco 2 and convertible preferred equity instruments (CPECs) of Luxco 2, in connection with the senior management transition agreed between Mr. Xavier Marie and Bain Capital in the summer of 2015. Excluding this repurchase of shares and CPECs, the Group's capital expenditure amounted to €24.6 million.

(3) Free cash flow used in investing activities is defined as net cash flow used in investing activities, excluding the acquisition of subsidiaries, net of cash acquired. Free cash flow used in investing activities is not a measure of performance or liquidity under IFRS. See "Non-IFRS Financial Measures".

1.2.4 ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOWS

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the Group's operating activities generated a €2.5 million net cash outflow, mainly due to (i) a €19.1 million positive impact of loss before income tax after adjustment for the €30.5 million cost of net debt and for a net non-cash expense of €61.0 million (mainly corresponding to €19.7 million of High Yield early redemption fees, a €16.7 million write-off of issuance fees related to the former High Yield Bond and RCF, a €14.7 million expense for depreciation and amortization and a €11.3 million negative change in fair value of hedging derivative instruments) (ii) a €17.6 million unfavorable change in operating working capital requirement, as described further below and (iii) a €4.0 million cash outflow attributable to the payment of income tax.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, the Group's operating activities generated a €21.1 million net cash inflow, mainly attributable to (i) the positive impact of profit (loss) before income tax after adjustment for the €33.8 million cost of net debt and for a net non-cash income of €5.8 million, (ii) the €5.8 million favorable change in operating working capital requirement and (iii) the €1.2 million cash outflow related to income tax.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the change in operating working capital requirement had a negative cash flow impact of €17.6 million, resulting from increases of respectively €28.5, million and €14.4 million in inventories and trade and other receivables, partly offset by a €25.2 million increase in trade and other payables.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, the change in operating working capital requirement had a positive cash flow impact of €5.8 million, resulting from a €10.4 million increase in trade and other payables and a €3.3 million decrease in inventories, partly offset by a €7.8 million increase in trade and other receivables.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the Group's investing activities resulted in a net cash outflow of €44.0 million, mainly due to capital expenditure of €45.3 million, of which €20.6 million was attributable to the aforementioned repurchase by the Group of certain shares and CPECs in Luxco 2. Excluding this repurchase of shares and CPECs, the Group's capital expenditure amounted to €24.6 million of which approximately 73% was related to store development capital expenditure incurred in connection with the gross opening of 20 new stores during the first half 2016, of which 11 were located in France and 9 in the rest of Europe.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, the Group's investing activities resulted in a net cash outflow of €18.5 million, mainly due to capital expenditure of €19.2 million, of which approximately 69.0% was related to store development capital expenditure incurred in connection with the gross opening of 6 new stores during the first half 2015 as well as with the planned opening of stores in the second half 2015.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the Group recorded a €2.1 million net cash outflow for financing activities, primarily composed of (i) the proceeds from issue of share capital with a net cash-in of €150.6 million, (ii) the proceeds from issue of the €250 million term loan and the €35 million drawdown of new Revolving Credit Facility, (iii) the €325 million repayment of the former High yield Bond and the cancellation of the former Revolving Credit Facility, (iv) the payment of interest for €25.0 million mainly related to the former High Yield Bond, (v) the repayment of a €62.8 million vendor loan debt coming from the acquisition of the Group by Bain Capital in 2013, and (vi) the €19.7 million High Yield redemption fees.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, the Group recorded a €16.0 million net cash outflow used in financing activities. Interest paid on borrowings amounted to €15.2 million, mainly in connection with the High Yield Bond for €14.7 million and the Existing Revolving Credit facility for €0.3 million (including commitment fees).

1.3.2 TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN RELATED PARTIES

The transactions with related parties are disclosed in the Note 28 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

1.4 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Group did not identify any significant event after the reporting period that should be mentioned in this financial report.

1.5 NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

This report includes certain unaudited measures of the Group's performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with IFRS, including: (i) Customer Sales; (ii) EBIT and EBITDA; (iii) like-for-like Customer Sales growth; (iv) gross margin; (v) adjusted profit (loss); and (vi) free cash flow. The Group presents these measures because it believes them to be important supplemental measures of performance and cash flow that are commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Group's industry and that such measures can prove helpful in enhancing the visibility of underlying trends in the Group's operating performance. However, these measures have limitations as analytical tools and they should not be treated as substitute measures for those stated under IFRS and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Note 1. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

1.1. Initial Public Offering ("IPO")

Since the end of May, 2016, Maisons du Monde S.A. is listed on the regulated market of Euronext Paris. The listing of the shares is intended to enable the Group to reduce its indebtedness and increase its financial flexibility in order to support its development and growth strategy.

In connection with the Initial Public Offering through the admission on Euronext Paris stock exchange to trading and listing of the shares of Maisons du Monde S.A. (formerly Magnolia (BC) SAS), the shareholders of the Group Maisons du Monde decided to proceed a corporate reorganisation of the group of companies to which the Group Maisons du Monde belongs. The main drivers of this reorganisation were (i) to streamline the holding structure of the Group, (ii) to simplify shareholding at the date of settlement, and by doing so, (iii) to facilitate the IPO.

In this context, the following operations, successively in the chronological order stated below, happened and became effective as from the date of settlement:

  • Intermediary holding companies of Magnolia (BC) Midco S.à.r.l. ("Luxco 3") were merged with and into Magnolia (BC) Holdco 1 Bis S.C.A. ("Luxco 1 Bis"), Luxco 1 Bis becoming the parent entity of Luxco 3;
  • Luxco 1 Bis was merged with and into Luxco 3, Luxco 3 remaining the parent entity of the Group;
  • Magnolia (BC) S.A. ("Luxco 4") was merged with and into Luxco 3, Luxco 3 remaining the parent entity of the Group;
  • Luxco 3 was merged with and into Maisons du Monde S.A., its direct subsidiary, Maisons du Monde S.A. becoming the new parent entity of the Group.

This reorganisation had the following significant impacts on the financial statements:

  • The Preferred Equity Instrument (PECs) issued by Luxco 3 to its former parent company has been cancelled (see Note 22);

  • One of the liabilities of the absorbed companies transferred to the Group was a debt of €62.8m related to a vendor loan resulting from the acquisition of the Group by Bain Capital in 2013. This liability was fully repaid during the period (see Note 22);

  • Maisons du Monde S.A. ultimately proceeded a share capital increase in consideration for the transfer by operation of laws of all assets and liabilities of the absorbed companies.

1.2. Refinancing

In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Group has decided to refinance and repay certain of its outstanding indebtedness in order to improve the Group's leverage ratio and reduce its interest expense (see Note 22). This refinancing had the following significant impacts on the financial statements:

  • the €325m High Yield Bond issued by Luxco 4 including accrued interests has been repaid in full (see Note 22);
  • Maisons du Monde S.A. had to pay a €19.7m premium to Bondholders due to early redemption (see Note 11);
  • Issuance fees related to previous financing structure (High Yield Bond and Revolving Credit Facility) have been booked through P&L for €16.7m (see Note 11);
  • Maisons du Monde S.A. entered into a new senior credit facility including a term loan of €250m and a new revolving credit facility (see Note 22).

1.3. Fees related to the Initial Public Offering and to the refinancing

The fees linked to the Initial Public Offering (see Note 1.1) and the refinancing (see Note 1.2) of the Group amounts to €61.3m, broken down as follows as of June 30, 2016:

1.4. Changes of the scope consolidation

As stated in the Note 1.1, the IPO preliminary reorganization steps involved the merger of intermediary holding companies, listed on the table below, which were ultimately controlled by the same party, Bain Capital.

Note 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1. Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. The accompanying notes therefore relate to significant events and transactions of the period, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016 comply with international financial reporting standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union. The accounting policies applied as of June 30, 2016 are identical to those described in the notes to the published consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015.

As a consequence of the IPO process, Maisons du Monde S.A. is now a listed company presenting condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Comparatives figures are Magnolia (BC) Midco S.à.r.l. financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the period ended June 30, 2015. Magnolia (BC) Midco S.à.r.l. financial statements as at December 31, 2015 were included in the registration document for IPO process.

Since January 1st, 2016, the Group applies hedging accounting according to IAS 39 (see Note 20).

Financial data is presented in thousands of euros. It is rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated. In certain cases, rounding may cause non-material discrepancies in the lines and columns showing totals.

2.2. New standards, amendments and interpretations

a) New standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations whose application was mandatory for the period ended June 30, 2016

Adopted by the European Union:

  • Amendments to IAS 27 Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements
  • Amendments to IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative
  • Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012–2014 Cycle
  • Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38: Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation
  • Amendments to IFRS 11: Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations
  • b) New standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations applicable in future years and not early adopted by the Group

Not yet adopted by the European Union:

  • IFRS 9 Financial instruments
  • IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers
  • IFRS 16 Leases
  • Amendment to IAS 12 Recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses
  • Clarification to IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group is assessing the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements resulting from the application of these standards mentioned above.

2.3. Critical estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies.

Estimates are made based on a going concern assumption and on information available at the date of their preparation. Estimates and judgements are continuously evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations about future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. When the Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future, the resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.

The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are valuation of intangible assets (goodwill and trademarks), deferred income tax, financial instruments and classification of financial instruments.

As explained in Note 7.9 in the 2015 annual report, goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.

Note 3. SEASONALITY

The decoration and furniture market in which the Group operates is subject to seasonal fluctuations. The Group's results for any quarter may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full financial year.

The Group's quarterly results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future, depending upon a variety of factors, including, among other things, the Group's product offerings, store openings, store closings, level of home remodelings or relocations, shifts in the timing of holidays, timing of catalog releases, timing of delivery of orders, competitive factors and general economic conditions.

In addition, the Group has historically generated, and expects to continue to generate, higher results of operations and EBITDA in the fourth quarter of its financial year, corresponding to the winter selling season. However, the Group's fixed costs, including personnel costs, leases, general and administrative expenses, are more evenly distributed over the course of the year.

NOTES ON CONSOLIDATED INTERIM INCOME STATEMENT

Note 4. GEOGRAPHICAL SEGMENT INFORMATION

The customer sales, EBITDA and Goodwill, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are broken down by geographical segment. The Group's activities are divided into two geographical segments as follows:

  • − France;
  • − International.

In addition, the corporate segment includes holdings operating activities, including assets that can't be allocated to segments and CICE. Corporate segment does not include any revenue and consists mainly of corporate expenses related to finance, legal, human resources, IT department as well as expenses related to design, procurement, customer relationship management (CRM) and merchandising department.

The Group defines its annual EBITDA as its current operating profit before other operating income and expenses excluding:

  • i) depreciation, amortization and allowance for provisions and,
  • ii) the change in fair value of its derivative instruments, which are both non-cash items, as well as,
  • iii) the management fees paid to the controlling shareholders to cover for management and administrative expenses and,
  • iv) store pre-opening expenses which relate to expenses incurred prior to the opening of new stores.

Half-yearly EBITDA uses the same definition as annual EBITDA except that it includes (i) a pro rata amount of the annual catalog related expenses that were borne in the first-half 2015 and 2016 and (ii) a pro rata amount of the annual impact of IFRIC 21 on costs related to some government levies that were accounted for in full in the first-half of 2015 and 2016.

EBITDA by geographical segment includes:

  • − Allocations of certain marketing expenses related to stores as well as online operating and marketing expenses. Such expenses are allocated by segment based on customer sales or online revenue per country;
  • − Allocation of EBITDA of the logistical entities to the segments based on their respective contribution to margin.

Revenue and EBITDA related to B to B activity has been fully allocated to segment – France.

As part of this corporate reorganization and before the IPO, the initial number of ordinary shares of Maisons du monde S.A. as of January 1st, 2016 (139,889,001) has increased by 3 shares in order to proceed a reverse stock split that led to a decrease in the number of ordinary shares from 139,889,001 to 23,314,834.

For comparison purposes, this new number of ordinary shares (23,314,834) has been used for the calculation of the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares for presented past periods and has been considered as the number of shares as of January 1st, 2016.

13.2. Diluted earnings per share
