The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements 30 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2 Description of the business & segment information Marley Spoon Group SE (hereinafter the “Group” or “Parent” and the “Group” if taken together with its subsidiaries) was incorporated on 26 July 2021 in Luxembourg as a European company (“Société Européenne” or “SE”) based on the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Luxembourg”). The Company is registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés, abbreviated “RCS) under the number B257664 since 4 August 2021. The registered office of the Group is located at 9, rue de Bitbourg, L-1273 Luxembourg . The Company is a listed entity with its Class A shares traded in the regulated market of Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “MS1”. Likewise, the Company’s Class A warrants are also traded on the open market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “SPVW”. The Company’s principal business activity is to solve everyday recurring problems in delightful and sustainable ways by creating and delivering directly to customers original recipes along with the necessary fresh, high-quality, seasonal ingredients for them to prepare, cook, and enjoy, or in the case of Chefgood, ready-to-heat meals to prepare. Customers can choose which recipes they would like to receive in a given week, and receive the pre-portioned ingredients delivered to their doorstep by third-party logistics partners. The Group’s activities are conducted, and meal kits are sold to consumers in three operating segments, the United States of America (US), which includes the operations of Marley Spoon and Bistro MD, Australia (AU) which includes the operations of Marley Spoon and Chefgood (shown as discontinued operations as of 31 December 2024), and Europe (EU), which is comprised of four countries (Austria, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands). The Group’s global headquarter is located in Berlin. An additional legal entity is established in Portugal for Marley Spoon’s customer care operations and in the United Kingdom for certain Marley Spoon staff, both of which are included as part of the Group’s headquarter costs. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segments and has been defined as the Company’s Management Board comprised of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), the Chief Technology and Product Officer (CTO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Segment results that are reported include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be reasonably allocated. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in note 20 (“Summary of significant accounting policies”). The Group accounts for inter-segment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties where the arm’s length principle applies. The Group does not separate operating segments based on the type of products, since the nature of the product, production processes and the method used for distribution are similar across all product ranges. Segment reporting The reported operating segments are strategic business units that are managed separately and for which the operating results are monitored by the CODM, as noted above. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. The “Holdings” column represents royalty charges paid to the Group and interest income on loans with subsidiaries. The Group consolidation (“Conso” column) eliminates intercompany transactions.

These charges are based on independent benchmark studies and considered to be at arm’s length. Transactions between Marley Spoon SE and Marley Spoon Group SE (the legal parent) relate to expenses relating to the business combination and a downstream loan. 32 3 Special items consist of the following: employee stock option program costs of EUR 264 thousand (2023: EUR 1,589 thousand),expenses incurred in connection with M&A transactions in the amount of EUR 2,488 thousand (2023: EUR nil), severance expense of EUR 1,123 thousand (2023: EUR 2,110 thousand), restructuring expense of EUR 514 thousand (2023: 3,902), gain on asset sale 7,386 thousand (2023 nil), penalty on overdue withholding tax EUR 323 thousand (2023 nil) as well as sales tax charges in the US of EUR 327 thousand (2023: EUR 602 thousand) and impairment of Goodwill in the amount of EUR 4,938 thousand (2023:nil). The 2024 revenues generated within Germany amounted to EUR 13,706 thousand (2023: EUR 15,348 thousand). Revenues from 2024 for all other countries amounted to EUR 293,975 thousand (2023: EUR 313,156 thousand). The Group recognizes its segments based on geographical region. The United States of America and Australia (inclusive of operations of Marley Spoon, Dinnerly and Chefgood brands) represent the largest markets and are separately segmented. Revenues in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and Austria are segmented as Europe. Since Chefgood qualified as a discontinued operation it is no longer included in the operating segment Australia in the reporting period of 2024. 3 Revenue The Group provides meal kit solutions on a weekly basis to customers across six countries. The Group’s business model differs from the conventional grocery supply chain by eliminating the need for intermediaries, such as wholesalers or distributors, and connecting products directly with the customer. Ingredients can be purchased just-in-time, are packed in temperature conditioned fulfillment centers and are delivered from there to the customer with insulated packaging and/or chilled transportation. External revenue includes income from the core activities of the Group, which are sales of meal kits or ready-to-heat meals to customers. Internal revenue results from intercompany recharges of goods or services between Group companies. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of external revenue. The Group complies with IFRS 15 requirements to disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers by geographical region (refer to notes 2 and 20.17). 4 Other income and expense items This note provides a disaggregation of the items included in financing income and financing expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and an analysis of operating expenses by nature. Information about specific profit and loss items (such as gains and losses in relation to financial instruments) is disclosed in the related balance sheet notes. 4.1 Breakdown of expenses by nature 2024 Cost of Goods Fulfilment Marketing General & Sold Expenses Expenses Administrative EUR in thousands Expenses Raw materials and direct fulfillment costs 137,717 43,871 - - Other operating expense - - 42,608 41,516 Depreciation and amortization 4,641 - - 8,303 Employee benefits expenses Wages and salaries 12,621 - 3,585 22,458 Social security costs 516 - 406 2,495 Defined contribution plan expenses 923 - 148 910 Share-based payment expense - - - 264 Total 156,418 43,871 46,747 75,946 2023 Cost of Goods Fulfilment Marketing General & EUR in thousands Sold Expense Expense Administrative Raw materials and direct fulfillment costs 136,942 50,634 - - Other operating expense 51,867 28,112 Depreciation and amortization 9,078 - - 7,890 Employee benefits expenses Wages and salaries 26,240 - 3,305 35,663 Social security costs 700 - 292 3,149 Defined contribution plan expenses 1,160 - 114 1,226 Share-based payment expense - - - 61,992 Total 174,120 50,634 55,578 138,032 33 4.2 Financing income and expenses Financing income and expenses are those associated with the interest paid on borrowings, derivative financial instruments and the adjustments for loans which are valued at amortized costs.

The net results of the individual measurement categories pursuant to IFRS 9 are as follows: Financial assets and liabilities (EUR in thousands) Notes 31 December 2024 31 December 2023 Financial assets measured at amortized cost 4.2 142 109 Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost 4.2 (13,148) (14,774) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and 4.2 2,822 10,792 loss Total (10,184) (3,873) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss are related to the recognition of Class A shares in connection with the business combination completion and changes in fair value of contingent consideration. Class A warrants: On 18 January 2022, the Company issued 7,000,000 Class A warrants (the “Class A warrants”) together with the Class A shares (together, a “Unit”) for an aggregate price of EUR 10 per Unit, the nominal subscription price per Class A warrant being EUR 0.01. Hence, total proceeds in relation to the issue of the warrants amount to EUR 70 thousand. Each Class A warrant entitles its holder to subscribe for one Class A share, with a stated exercise price of EUR 11.50, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Holders of Class A warrants can exercise the warrants on a cashless basis unless the Company elects to require exercise against payment in cash of the exercise price. 35 On the issue date, the fair value of Class A warrants was estimated at EUR 4,830 thousand (EUR 0.69 per warrant) using Monte Carlo valuation model (level 3), resulting in the recognition of a day 1 loss of EUR 4,760 thousand. As at 31 December 2024, the fair value of Class A warrants was estimated to be EUR 74.2 thousand (EUR 0.0106 per warrant) using a combination of Monte Carlo and Binomial Tree valuation models (level 3), resulting in the recognition of a net fair value gain of EUR 438 thousand as of 31 December 2024. The significant inputs to the valuation model include the contractual terms of the warrants (i.e. exercise price, maturity), risk-free rates of German government bonds and volatility of the warrants by reference to traded warrants issued by similar listed special purpose acquisition companies. Class A warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of Class A shares and will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a business combination. Class A warrants will expire five years from the date of the consummation of the business combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company may redeem Class A warrants upon at least 30 days’ notice at a redemption price of EUR 0.01 per Class A warrant if (i) the closing price of its Class A shares for any 20 out of the 30 consecutive trading days following the consummation of the business combination equals or exceeds EUR 18.00 or (ii) the closing price of its Class A shares for any 20 out of the 30 consecutive trading days following the consummation of the business combination equals or exceeds EUR 10.00 but is below EUR 18.00, adjusted for items as described in the section of redemption of warrants in the prospectus. Holders of Class A warrants may exercise them after the redemption notice is given. 6.2 Fair value of financial instruments Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: (a) in the principal market for the asset or liability or (b) in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their own economic best interest. The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy. This is described, as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: Level 1 — quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 — valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable Level 3 — valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. Set out below is a comparison by category for carrying amounts and fair values of all the Group's financial instruments that are included in the consolidated financial statements.

The Group measures derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, together with a quantitative sensitivity analysis as at 31 December 2024 are shown below. Valuation Significant unobservable Sensitivity to the inputs of fair value technique inputs Class A warrants Monte Carlo Risk-Free interest rate: 2.05% The fair value is moderately sensitive to the risk-free rate; a 0.5% simulation increase would result in a decrease in fair value of approx. 0.005%; a method 0.5% decrease would increase it by approx. 0.005%. Expected term An increase in expected term would typically increase fair value, as it extends the time value of the option. Volatility: 60% A 5% increase in volatility would increase the fair value of the warrants by approx. 0.0101; a 5% decrease would reduce it by approx. 0.007 6.3 Non-current financial assets Other non-current financial assets are mainly security deposits for leased properties and bank guarantees. These deposits, subject to contractual restrictions and therefore not available for general use by the Group, decreased by EUR 774 thousand in the current year. EUR in thousands 31 December 2024 31 December 2023 Other non-current financial assets 1,889 2,663 6.4 Trade receivables and other assets Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold in the ordinary course of business. If collection of the amounts is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets. The Group’s trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current. The Group’s impairment policy for trade and other receivables is outlined in note 20. During the reporting period ending on 31 December 2024 the Group recognised EUR 225 thousand (2023 EUR 1.180 thousand) of bad debt expense.

Access to the Supplemental Term Loan was conditional upon Marley Spoon being in compliance with customary financial covenants as well as certain net revenue and contribution margin-based performance milestones. Several amendments to the Loan and Security Agreement have since been entered into. The following amendments have been entered into in 2024 and the prior year: 39 ● Sixth Amendment entered into on 25 April 2023 in connection with the business combination agreement: ● Interest payment deferral period from April to September 2023, with the capitalization of the corresponding amounts; ● Principal repayment of EUR 7,790 thousand (USD 8,609 thousand) without penalty on 25 July 2023, with the subsequent reduction of the interest rate to 7.5% over the three-month SOFR; ● Amortization Date redefined as 15 January 2025; ● Term Loan Maturity Date redefined as 15 June 2026; ● Deferral fee of EUR 592 thousand (USD 643 thousand) settled through Marley Spoon SE shares and considered as transaction cost. ● Seventh Amendment; executed 23 January 2024, to join the newly created Marley Spoon Group SE (Group Parent) as guarantor of the loan agreement, and confirm the amount of the mandatory prepayment outlined in the Sixth Amendment. ● Eighth Amendment; executed 30 January 2024, to gain consent of the sale of US production and fulfillment assets and operations and acquisition of all outstanding equity interests in Bistro MD Intermediate Holdings Inc. and amend the loan agreement as follows: ● Amortization Date redefined as 15 January 2026; ● Term Loan Maturity Date redefined as 15 July 2027. ● Ninth Amendment; executed 30 January 2024 in order to identify a mandatory prepayment of EUR 10,268 thousand (USD 11,200 thousand) in conjunction with the consummation of the sale of the US production and fulfillment assets and operations; authorize distribution of up to EUR 3,850 thousand (USD 4,000 thousand) of cash proceeds received from the sale towards a related party loan facility. Under the credit facility the Group is subject to compliance with various customary financial, reporting and legal compliance covenants. The following covenants are considered material and - as all the covenants - are monitored on a monthly basis: ● the Group is to maintain at all times unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in an amount not less than the sum of (a) projected negative cash flow from operations (including interest payments due in respect of any Indebtedness) for the immediately following six (6) month period, plus (B) projected capital expenditures on property, plant and/or equipment, including any leasing expenditure(s) and principal repayments in respect of any Indebtedness, for the immediately following six month period; ● the Company shall not repurchase any of it’s equity interests exceeding the amount of EUR 2 million; ● The Group shall not enter into asset financing arrangements exceeding in the aggregate the amount of EUR 18 million Euros. Neither shall the Group enter into any other indebtedness arrangements or security deposits each exceeding the aggregate amount of EUR 1 million. The Group has no indication that it will have difficulty complying with these covenants and any other covenants of the Loan and Security Agreement. BHI and Revolver loans The Company assumed EUR 14.5 million in debt (net of the purchase consideration) made up of a term loan and revolver facility through the acquisition of bistroMD. 13 February 2024 part of BHI loan in the amount of EUR 3.6 million was paid. The balance of the loan as of 31 December 2024 remained in the amount of EUR 10.9 million. 6.7 Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. The carrying amounts of trade and other payables are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature. Trade payables are primarily comprised of payables to food and packaging suppliers, transportation carriers and marketing partners.

Furniture and office equipment include computers, electronics, office furniture and equipment. Plant and machinery include production equipment that are financed by National Australia Bank (NAB) and are pledged as security, as well as equipment pledged as security to Runway Growth Capital (Runway). During the year ended 31 December 2024, there was no identified impairment of property, plant, and equipment, although Property, plant and equipment with a net book value of EUR 990 thousand (2023: 1.225 thousand) were reclassified as part of “Assets held for sale” as discontinued operations. The movement schedule presented above reflects property, plant and equipment related to continuing operations only. It does not include any balances or movements relating to the subsidiary that was classified as a discontinued operation during the reporting period, in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, (Note 17). All property, plant and equipment are recognized at historical cost less depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as follows: Computers & electronics 3 years Office equipment / furniture 3-7 years 41 Machinery & warehouse equipment 3-10 years Leasehold improvements 5-15 years An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal (i.e., at the date the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognized. The residual values, useful lives, and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. 7.2 Right-of-use assets The Group recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases previously classified as operating leases, except for short-term leases and low-value assets. Lease liabilities were recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. The Group also applied the available practical expedients wherein it: ▪ Used a discount rate for leases on contracts where implicit rates are not readily determinable; ▪ Relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous immediately before the date of initial application; ▪ Applied the short-term leases exemptions to leases with terms that end within 12 months of the date of initial application; ▪ Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application; ▪ Used hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company has an obligation to dismantle and remove all leasehold improvements and equipment in its fulfilment centers when the Company chooses to leave the facility. On the opening of fulfillment centers, the Company established provisions for these dismantling expenses, and capitalized the anticipated cost of dismantling as a component of the leasehold improvement assets (plant & machinery). Over the life of the assets, the discount on the dismantling provision is unwound and recognized as a non-current provision. When the fulfilment centers are vacated, the provision is derecognized, and the leasehold improvements and equipment are dismantled and removed. As at 31 December 2024 the dismantling (“make good”) provisions are EUR 1,089 thousand (2023: EUR 1,800 thousand). Set out below are the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets and the movements during the period: Buildings Equipment Total As at 31 December 2022 19,736 2,470 22,206 Additions 10,000 6,641 16,641 Future dismantling costs transferred 827 - 827 Dismantling cost addition 738 - 738 Dismantling cost amortization (242) - (242) Exchange rate impacts (480) (320) (800) Depreciation expense (3,606) (3,020) (6,626) As at 31 December 2023 26,973 5,771 32,744 As at 01 December 2024 (excluding Chefgood) 26,519 5,771 32,290 Lease reclassification 4,202 (4,468) (266) Lease modification (128) - (128) Additions – 22 22 Acquisition through business combinations 171 27 198 Sale of assets to FreshRealm (12,763) (930) (13,693) Dismantling cost amortization (183) - (183) Exchange rate impact 444 30 474 Depreciation expense (3,961) (282) (4,243) As at 31 December 2024 14,301 170 14,471 excluding ChefGood opening balance as discontinued operations in 2024 42 Set out below are the carrying amounts of lease liabilities and the movements during the period: 2024 2023 As at 1 January 33,808 25,671 Additions 217 16,328 Sale of asset to FreshRealm (15,688) - Exchange rate impact 191 (662) Interest expense 1,546 2,869 Payments (5,345) (8,875) As at 31 December 15,729 35,331 * excluding EUR 523 thousand ChefGood opening balance as discontinued operations in 2024 The following are amounts recognized in profit or loss: EUR in thousands 2024 2023 Depreciation expense of right-of-use assets 4,425 6,626 Interest expense on lease liabilities 1,546 2,869 Expense related to short-term leases 1,960 2,926 Expense related to leases of low-value assets 741 1,072 Total amount recognized in profit or loss 8,673 13,493 Right-of-use assets - the Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). They are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. Unless the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognized right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Lease liabilities - at the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the period during which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets - the Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expenses on a straight- line basis over the lease term. Significant judgement in determining the lease term of contracts with renewal options - the Group determines the lease term as the non- cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The Group has the option, under some of its leases, to lease the assets for additional terms. The Group applies judgment in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew. 43 During the reporting period, the Group classified one of its subsidiaries, Chefgood, as a discontinued operation in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. As a result, all lease- related balances pertaining to this subsidiary, including right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities previously recognized under IFRS 16, have been reclassified to “Assets held for sale” and “liabilities associated with assets held for sale” in the consolidated statement of financial position. Consequently, lease-related disclosures in this note, relate solely to continuing operations. No opening balances (for Right-of-Use in the amount of EUR 454 thousand, and for lease liability in the amount of EUR 523 thousand), or lease-related movements have been presented for the discontinued operation, as the Group has elected to disclose such amounts within the disposal group on a net basis, in accordance with IFRS 5 (Note 16). Payment schedule Impact of FreshRealm transaction: following the asset purchase agreement between the Company’s US subsidiary and FreshRealm in February 2024, the Company significantly reduced its aggregate lease commitments during calendar year 2024, as the US fulfillment center and equipment financing leases have been assigned to FreshRealm. The Company paid EUR 5,306 thousand during calendar year and estimates that it will pay approximately EUR 3,607 thousand based on agreed lease commitments during calendar year 2025. This amount was evaluated based on the current present value of lease liabilities minus the expected present value of lease agreements in the next twelve months. This amount does not take into account new lease agreements and commitments that may be signed during the next period starting on 1 January 2025. Sublease receivables: In 2021, the Company’s Australian entity entered into finance leasing arrangements as a lessor for the use of certain fit-out and equipment in the facility. The term of the finance lease entered into is 5 years. Generally, the lease contract does not include an early termination option. The Group is not exposed to additional foreign currency risk as a result of the lease arrangement, as the lease is denominated in a currency used by the Company’s subsidiary. Residual value risk on equipment under lease is not significant because the equipment can be used by the Company in the normal course of its business. Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognized as receivables at the amount of the Group’s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Group’s net investment outstanding in respect of the leases. None of the finance lease receivables at the end of the reporting period are past due. Taking into account the historical default experience and the future prospects of the industries in which the lessees operate, together with the value of collateral held over these finance lease receivables, the Management Board considers that no finance lease receivable is impaired. Amounts receivable under the finance lease in the next twelve months are: EUR 173 thousand, with EUR 79 thousand receivable from 1 January 2026 through the remaining life of the lease. The Group recognized income from subleasing right-of-use assets amounting to Eur 357 thousand for the current year (2023: EUR 239 thousand). 7.3 Intangible assets EUR in thousands Internally Software licenses, Acquired Acquired Customer List Total developed trademarks, and tradename website software other intangibles Cost At 31 December 2023 25,073 3,458 113 1,301 - 29,945 Additions 6,058 923 - 6,980 Acquisition through business 1,411 - 7,526 - 292 9,230 combinations Exchange rate differences 615 - 168 (454) (2) 328 At 31 December 2024 33,157 4,381 7,808 847 291 46,484 Amortization At 31 December 2023 (13,638) (1,517) (4) (853) - (16,012) Amortization expense (6,303) (710) - (13) (260) (7,285) Impairment (172) - (1,145) - - (1,317) Exchange rate differences - - - 19 - 19 At 31 December 2024 (20,113) (2,227) (1,149) (846) 260 (24,594) 44 EUR in thousands Internally Software licenses, Acquired Acquired Customer List Total developed trademarks, and tradename website software other intangibles Cost 33,157 4,381 7,808 847 291 46,484 Accumulated amortization (20,113) (2,227) (1,149) (846) (260) (23,594) Net book value 13,044 2,154 6,659 1 31 21,889 * excluding ChefGood opening balance as discontinued operations in 2024 Intangible assets are measured at their historical costs less accumulated amortization, impairment/reversal of impairment losses. Intangible assets, excluding environmental credits, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful life of between three and five years. If there is an indication of impairment, the intangible asset is tested for impairment. Expectations regarding the residual value are updated annually. The adequacy of the selected amortization method and the useful lives are subject to an annual review. Out of total additions capitalized by the Group, EUR 5,413 thousand was internally developed product development assets in the following projects, among others: a new self-service capability for reporting customer service issues, a user interface update for the weekly menu to enhance filtering, increased pricing flexibility for delivery slots and further enhancement of inventory management with handheld scanners. The Group tests whether the intangible assets have suffered any impairment on an annual basis for assets with an infinite useful life or on occurrence of an impairment indicator for all other intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment items. The recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGU) is determined based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions. During the year ended 31 December 2024, management has impaired internally developed intangible assets by EUR 172 thousand. The trade name as a separately identified asset during the acquisition of Bistro was revalued based on the relief from royalty method. The same method was used for the valuation as of the date of acquisition. The relief from royalty method estimates the savings that the owner of a particular intangible asset realizes from owning the asset. For the valuation as of 31 December 2024 an updated forecast for the revenue streams was applied. The trade name was valued in perpetuity based on the assumption that it will continue to generate economic benefits indefinitely. A royalty rate of 2.5% remained the same as in the initial recognition, as the underlying factors (such as market perception, brand recognition as well as affordability) have not changed. We estimated a discount rate of 15.0% as of 31 December 2024 to apply to the royalty savings generated by the trade name as we considered the risk of this asset to be consistent with the risk of the overall business. Based on these assumptions the fair value of the trade name was EUR 6,381 thousand compared to a carrying amount of EUR 7,526 thousand. An impairment of EUR 1,145 thousand was recognized. The movements schedule presented above includes intangible assets related to continued operations only. Balances and movements relating to the subsidiary classified as a discontinued operation during the reporting period have been excluded, in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. All intangible assets of the discontinued operation have been reclassified to “assets held for sale” (Note 17), as at the reporting date and are not presented in this note. 7.4 Deferred taxes Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses or temporary differences can be utilized. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits, together with future tax planning strategies. 45 EUR in thousands 31 December 2024 31 December 2023 DTA DTL DTA DTL Intangible assets - (3,471) - (4,900) Right-of-use assets - (4,348) - (8,449) Lease liability 4,610 9,018 - Other 408 548 - Valuation allowance on DTA (595) (1,029) - Tax loss carryforward available for 3,155 2,988 - offsetting against future taxable losses Total 6,714 (7,819) 11,525 (13,349) Netting (6,714) 6,714 (11,525) 11,525 Total after netting 864 (1,105) - (1,824) Not-recognized DTA on temporary 2,291 1,029 - differences Not-recognized DTA on TLCF 44,864 45,039 - The Group has EUR 267,209 thousand of tax losses carried forward as at 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023: EUR 251,626 thousand) resulting in a potential deferred tax asset of EUR 52,182 thousand as at 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023: EUR 50,382 thousand). These losses relate to subsidiaries that have a history of losses and may not be used to offset taxable income elsewhere in the Group. The tax losses generated in Luxembourg starting from 2017 can only be carried over 17 years. In other countries the tax losses are assumed to be available indefinitely for offsetting against future taxable profits of the companies in which the losses arose. The subsidiaries have taxable temporary differences available that can partly support the recognition of deferred tax assets on tax losses carried forward. On this basis, the Group has determined if tax laws apply that limit the extent to which unused tax losses can be recovered against future taxable profits in each year. For the following tax losses carried forward deferred tax assets have not been recognized: EUR in thousands 2024 2023 Germany incl. CIT and trade tax 110,883 101,094 United States of America 53,953 57,341 Australia 28,283 23,773 Netherlands 38,165 35,237 Luxembourg 16,420 9,987 Other jurisdictions 7,644 7,719 Total 255,348 235,150 For deductible temporary differences of in total EUR 26,523 thousand no deferred tax asset has been recognized (2023: EUR 37,358 thousand). 7.5 Inventories The inventory balance contains food, packaging and marketing items with a net balance of EUR 4,928 thousand (2023: EUR 9,289 thousand). For non-sold inventory items, the Group designs new recipes to ensure that inventories are consumed, short shelf-life items ordered are directly included in cost of goods sold and not put into inventory. As a result of this approach, and based on the Group’s assessment of market conditions and product demand, no inventory write-downs or reversals were recognised during 2023 or 2024. Inventories recognized as an expense during the year ended 31 December 2024 amounted to EUR 129,650 thousand (2023: EUR 136,942 thousand).

Details regarding the Group’s Employee Stock Option Program (ESOP) and Stock Option Program (SOP) have been provided in note 8.2. The associated credit is recognized in equity under “Other Reserves” on the Statement of Financial Position. The total employee benefit costs (including defined contribution and social securities) are allocated to the various functional lines in the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income as listed in note 4.1. 7.7 Other current assets Other current assets are driven by prepayments to suppliers and tax authorities, the current portion of lease receivables, the current portion of security deposits, and deposits to be returned from suppliers.

The class A shares are freely transferable in accordance with the legal requirements for the dematerialised shares. The class B shares are not transferable, assignable or sellable until the first anniversary of the business combination or earlier if, at any time, the closing price of the class A Shares for any ten trading days within any 30-trading day period equals or exceeds twelve euro.

During the period In addition to the financing events previously noted as having taken place in 2024, the financial position and performance of the Group were also affected by the following events and transactions during the twelve months to 31 December 2024: ● The Company raised EUR 8,035 thousand in capital from certain larger existing investors by providing 2,008,750 treasury shares at €4.00 per share. ● BistroMD shareholders received 1,430,000 Class A shares of MSG, 225,000 warrants for Class A shares exercisable at €15.00, and 225,000 warrants for Class A shares exercisable at €20.00 upon closing. ● Following the Subsequent Direct Tender Offer launched on 6 November 2023, the Company has converted 842,373 of its treasury shares into CDIs of MSSE increasing its participation in MSSE from 84.59% to 93.5%. Previous period - Capital reorganization On 6 July 2023, the Company successfully completed its business combination with Marley Spoon SE. The Company acquired shares representing 84% of Marley Spoon SE in exchange for the Company’s issuance of 7,912,290 Class A shares without nominal value for an aggregate subscription price of EUR 79,123 thousand. As a result of the issuance of the Class A shares, the Company incurred transaction costs in the amount of EUR 1.0 million. According to IAS 32, these costs were evaluated with regard to their deductibility from equity. As a result, EUR 1.0 million were recognized as a reduction in equity within the capital reserves. The corresponding deferred tax effect of EUR 237 thousand was not recognized as the Company does not foresee any future taxable income on which the related deferred tax asset can be utilized. 48 The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in accordance with IFRS. Under this method of accounting, the Company was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, for accounting purposes, the business combination is treated as if Marley Spoon SE issued shares to the Company in exchange for the net assets of the Company. The recognition and reporting of the post business combination consolidated financial information were as follows: ● The comparative information presented in the consolidated financial statements of the Group is that of Marley Spoon SE pre- business combination, with the assets and liabilities of Marley Spoon SE recognized and measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts; ● The retained earnings and other equity balances recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Group are those of Marley Spoon SE immediately before the capital reorganization; ● The share capital structure of the Group (that is, the number and type of equity instruments issued) shown in the post- combination consolidated financial statements reflects Marley Spoon Group SE’s legal equity structure. The effects at the business combination date on the Group’s consolidated equity resulted in the following capital reorganization adjustments: Accumu- Share Treasury Capital lated Net Other EUR in thousands Capital Shares Reserves Earnings / Reserves (Losses) Consolidation of the equity (pre-business combination) of Marley 420 - 210,553 (16,995) 123 Spoon Group SE Redemption of Class A shares - (200,125) - - - Issuance of new Class A shares in exchange of Marley Spoon SE 127 - 78,996 - - shares IFRS 2 adjustment - - 60,403 - - Elimination of share capital of Marley Spoon SE (73,559) - 73,559 - - Elimination of retained earnings and other reserves balances of - - (15,918) 16,995 (123) Marley Spoon Group SE Elimination of Marley Spoon Group SE investment in Marley Spoon SE - - (79,149) - - NCI reclassification (i.e. 16% NCI in Marley Spoon SE) - - 4,377 - - Total (73,012) (200,125) 332,822 - - Assets and liabilities acquired at the business combination date include cash of EUR 16.8 million, other assets of EUR 203 thousand and liabilities of EUR 23.1 million. Moreover, and consistent with the guidance in IFRS 2, the business combination was accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 whereby the difference in the fair value of the shares and warrants deemed to have been issued by the accounting acquirer and the fair value of the accounting acquiree’s identifiable net assets represents the remuneration of a service (often designated as listing fee) received by the accounting acquirer. This resulted in the recognition of EUR 60.4 million of expense (recorded under general and administrative expenses) upon consummation of the business combination transaction. As at 31 December 2024, the Company’s share capital consists of 29,174,790 Class A shares with nominal value of EUR 467 thousand and 4,987,500 Class B shares with nominal value of EUR 80 thousand. During the previous period In addition to the financing events previously noted as having taken place in 2023, the financial position and performance of the Group were also affected by the following events and transactions during the twelve months to 31 December 2023: ● The Company settled the deferral fee liability of EUR 592 thousand (of which EUR 569 thousand relates to share capital) related to the amendments of its debt terms with Runway in combination with the BCA through the issuance of shares, which were registered in the commercial register on 4 July 2023. ● A negotiated amendment, in connection with the business combination agreement, to the Company’s existing loan agreement with Runway Growth Finance (Runway) which included an extension of the interest-only period to 15 January 2025 and the loan 49 maturity date to 15 June 2026. This was agreed along with the deferral of interest for the period April - September 2023, which was capitalized to the outstanding loan balance. Refer to note 16 for further changes in the maturity date; ● Marley Spoon SE completed its conversion from a German stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft or "AG") to a German- registered European company (Societas Europaea or "SE"). This transformation, approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 1 June 2022, provides a more flexible and appropriate corporate structure for Marley Spoon, enhancing its position as a growth company with a pan-European/international employee base. The conversion was finalized on 13 March 2023, with the Company now operating under the name "Marley Spoon SE". ● On 7 July 2023, Marley Spoon Group paid EUR 7.0 million to Class A shareholders who redeemed their shares prior to the Business Combination. ● From 13 July 2023 onward, the Marley spoon Group SE’s shares are trading on the Regulated Market (General Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the ISIN LU2380748603 and trading symbol MS1. In addition, the Supervisory Board of the Company initiated a board transition, including key appointments and retirements, to enable an orderly handover to European- based directors (see Directors’ report); ● On 4 September 2023, the Marley Spoon Group SE made an unconditional, off-market, direct cash offer to Marley Spoon SE CDI holders to acquire up to 10,000 CDIs from each Marley Spoon CDI holder at a price of A$0.11 per CDI. Upon closing of the Small Holdings Offer on 4 October 2024, 858 CDI holders tendered a total amount of 4,011,518 CDIs, representing approximately 3% of the CDIs on issue as at the Small Holdings Offer record date, and approximately 1% of the total issued capital of Marley Spoon SE. The Marley Spoon Group SE's acquisition of these CDIs increased its holding in Marley Spoon SE to approximately 85% on completion; ● In October 2023, Marley Spoon Group redeemed and paid all additional sponsor warrants (Class B warrants) for EUR 411 thousand to settle a repayment agreement dated June 28, 2023 between the sponsors and co-sponsors of the SPAC and the Company. ● On 6 November 2023, the Company launched a Subsequent Direct Tender Offer to acquire remaining Marley Spoon SE CDIs in exchange for the Company’s public shares. Upon closing of the Subsequent Direct Tender Offer on 19 December 2023, the Company received acceptances from 400 CDI holders with respect to a total amount of 76,621,889 CDIs, representing approximately 65% of the CDIs on issue as at the Tender Offer record date, and approximately 10.4% of the total issued capital of Marley Spoon SE. The Group has not recognized or assigned any dividends during the presented periods. All issued and outstanding shares are fully paid as of 31 December 2024 (2023: all issued and outstanding shares are fully paid). 8.2 Other reserves / other share-based payments Employee Stock Option Program (ESOP), Stock Option Plan (SOP)2019-2023 Other reserves include a balance for the Employee Stock Option Program (ESOP), granted in 2024 and the Stock Option Plan (SOP 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023) which are equity-settled share-based payments. Prior to its Australia IPO, Marley Spoon SE issued rights under historical “virtual share plans” to most of its salaried employees which were replaced with stock options after Marley Spoon SE’s IPO (the ESOP plans). Generally, employees were granted stock options with a vesting period of up to 48 months with a cliff period of 12 months. No owner rights, e.g., voting rights, were associated with the program. Marley Spoon introduced a new employee stock option plan (“SOP”) in February 2019 and August 2019, followed by subsequent grants in February 2020 and August 2020, March 2021 and August 2021 (though 2021 plans ceased to vest because performance criteria were not met), March 2022 and September 2022, as well as March 2023, granting employees share-based payments similarly structured as the ESOP. For equity-settled transactions, the total amount to be expensed for services received is determined by reference to the grant date fair value of the share-based payment award. The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed on a graded vesting scheme, with a corresponding credit in equity. In 2022, Marley Spoon SE introduced an additional equity award program for its employees comprised of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). This program served as Marley Spoon’s long-term incentive (LTI) program for its non-key executive management personnel, while the share option program continued to serve as Marley Spoon SE’s LTI program for Management Board members. Similar to the share option program, the RSU program has performance measures that must be met for the award to be received. The Supervisory Board, to the extent the Management Board is concerned, and the Management Board, to the extent other participants are concerned, shall: (i) select two performance measures, (ii) weigh the two selected performance measures and (iii) determine the performance targets to be achieved over the respective performance period. In so doing, the respective board is to be guided by the goal of Marley Spoon’s sustainable development. Targets were to be evaluated as threshold, target or stretch, the achieving or exceeding of which will equate to a range of a 50% to 125% weighting when calculating the exercisable RSUs / options. Two key differences between the RSU and share option program 50 include: 1) provisions regarding the exercise price, waiting period and expiry date shall not apply to the RSU program and 2) RSUs will vest over a graded three-year period (20%/30%/50%) as compared to the share option program’s four-year period (10%/20%/30%/40%). Activity in the Marley Spoon SE’s stock option plans, denominated in CDIs, was as follows: Number of awards [CDIs] Number of awards outstanding 31 December 2022 13,375,234 Thereof: exercisable/vested 6,966,172 Granted during 2023 10,746,072 Forfeited during 2023 (3,182,864) Exercised during 2023 (59,076) Expired 2023 - Number of awards outstanding 31 December 2023 20,879,506 Thereof: exercisable/vested 3,344,491 Forfeited during 2024 (8,674,497) Number of awards outstanding 31 December 2024 12,205,009 Thereof: exercisable 2,769,679 Previous years combined the amount of exercisable or vested awards; in 2024 only exercisable awards are presented. The fair value measurement at grant date for the SOP plans is determined by applying an option pricing model (Black-Scholes-Model), with the main determinants being the share price, risk-free rate and volatility. These accounting estimates have a significant influence on the valuation of the options. Stock Option Plan 2024 (MIP) The Supervisory Board introduced Management Incentive Plan dated 22 February 2024 to members of the Management Board and key executives in order to strengthen commitment, attract and retain talent, and drive growth and profitability. The aggregate number of Stock Options which may be granted under this 2024 Plan amounts to 1,700,000. Awards will be granted as stock options, each representing the right to subscribe to one share at an Exercise Price determined by the Supervisory Board. Stock options will vest over four years, with 25% vesting on each anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date. Vesting accelerates in the event of a Change of Control. Stock options can be exercised after the relevant Vesting Date via an Exercise Notice and payment of the Exercise Price. The Company may deliver Exercised Shares. During the reporting period ended 31 December 2024, the following transactions occurred in Marley Spoon Group SE’s new share option plan (MIP): Number of awards Number of awards outstanding 31 December 2023 - Thereof: exercisable - Granted during 2024 1,240,000 Forfeited during 2024 200,000 Exercised during 2024 - Expired 2024 - Number of awards outstanding 31 December 2024 1,040,000 Thereof: exercisable 410,000 Inputs to the Black-Scholes Valuation Model: SOP Plan 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 Value per common CDI (EUR) 2.34 0.10 0.14 - 0.38 1.33 – 1.97 0.18 – 2.04 0.31 - 0.36 Exercise price (EUR) 4.0 0.13 0.14 - 0.44 0.18 – 1.82 0.18 - 1.53 0.27 - 0.40 Expected volatility 0,56 92% 80-99% 79% 57% - 80% 45% Expected term (in months) 48 48 48 48 48 48 Expected dividend yield - - - - - - Risk-free interest rate 1,9% 2.8% 0 - 1.38% 0% 0% 0% 51 In 2024 as a result of the replacement of employee programs for Management Board members, expenses arising from share-based payments to employee programs (ESOP, and SOP grants in 2019, 2020, 2022 & 2023, and RSU 2022 & 2023) in the amount of EUR 391 thousand has been reversed and 655 has been expensed, of which EUR 287 thousand expenses is coming from MIP. In 2023 expenses arising from share based payments to employee programs amounted to EUR 1,589 thousand. 8.3 Currency translation reserve Other comprehensive loss or income is associated with foreign currency translation adjustment (FCTA). Exchange differences arising on translation are recognized as described in note 20.3 and accumulated in a separate reserve within equity. The cumulative amount is reclassified to profit (loss) when the respective asset or subsidiary is disposed of. The total balance of the currency translation reserve as at 31 December 2024 is EUR 4,684 thousand (2023: EUR 1,074 thousand). All other comprehensive loss or income is classified as equity. 9 Critical estimates and judgements 9.1 Significant estimates or judgements Key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are described in the respective notes of this document. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Management Board has taken into account the possible effects of climate change. There were no significant effects on the consolidated financial statements. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. Areas that involve significant estimates or judgements in the years ended 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023 are disclosed in the list below with more specific details on the respective balances included in the mentioned notes. ● Derivative financial instruments (note 6.2) ● IFRS 16 leasing (note 7.2) Intangible assets (note 7.3) ● Deferred tax assets (note 7.4) ● ● Employee stock option program (note 8.2) ● Bistro acquisition (note 16) ● Earn-out (note 16) ● Impairment of goodwill (note 18) 9.2 Warrants The Management Board assessed the classification of warrants in accordance with IAS 32 under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as derivatives. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Class A warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts them to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The fair value of Class A warrants is determined based on its quoted market price or independently valued using a combination of Monte Carlo and Binomial Tree valuation model for periods when there are no observable trades, as of each relevant date. 9.3 Going concern These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes a recapitalization of the Company’s balance sheet so that the Group will be able to meet all its financial commitments. The Group’s ability to meet its financial obligations as they fall due and continue as a going concern depends on the Company’s ability to maintain a positive cash balance. Management’s forecast entails a positive cash balance for the next twelve months assuming the closing of the Chefgood sale at a purchase price of AUD 11 million before the end of Q2 2025, the continued capitalization of interest, the expectation to postpone the amortization of the Runway loan to May 2026 and the commitment from Runway to cover liquidity gaps of up to EUR 2.5m. Management’s forecast also includes a reduction of net revenue by up to three percent, an improvement of Contribution Margin as a percentage of net revenue of up to 2.4 percentage points and a reduction of G&A expenses by 14 percent. The development of cash flows could be negatively impacted by macroeconomic or external factors such as increasing tariffs, volatile customer behavior, cost inflation, supply chain disruptions or higher interest rates. 52 In case of these potential headwinds and if one of the former mentioned assumptions does not evolve as planned, the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern depends on delivering positive operating cash flows through operating profitability driven by margin expansion or additional cost reductions. Management expects the Group to be able to address these potential additional headwinds with the respective measures. 10 Financial risk management This note explains the Group’s exposure to financial risks and how these risks could affect its future financial performance. Current year profit and loss information has been included where relevant to add further context. The Group’s risk management is carried out by the Finance and Legal teams under supervision of the CFO. Principal financial liabilities are comprised of loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance and provide guarantees to support operations. Principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from operations. The Group is exposed to market, credit and liquidity risk. Financial risk management is carried out by the Finance department, which is overseen by senior management. The objective of financial risk management is to establish limits and ensure that the risk exposure stays within these determined limits. The usage of this method does not guarantee that the Company prevents all losses higher than these limits. Senior management reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks. 10.1 Market risk The Group has exposure to the following market risk: ● Direct materials price risk ● Foreign currency risk ● Interest rate risk Direct materials price risk Materials price risk is the risk that changes in market prices of key items used in the production of the Company’s products, i.e., food and packaging, will affect the Group’s results of operations. Inflation is not limited to produce but rather can impact all direct materials so the analysis considers a broader set of costs than in historical years. The Group manages food cost risk in particular with a detailed menu design and planning process which is aligned with pre-determined cost targets. Significant increases in food costs are mitigated by using alternative ingredients, by leveraging the Group’s extensive database of recipes to change the offerings for future recipes or by raising prices on its products. Sensitivities to direct materials price risk: EUR in thousands 2024 2023 5% increase in direct materials prices (5,949) (7,053) 5% decrease in direct materials prices 5,949 7,053 Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Financial instruments, which are denominated in a currency other than the measured functional currency, are subject to foreign currency risk. The Group operates in international markets through locally established subsidiaries. Marley Spoon’s international operations seek to match the expenses incurred and revenue generated in the respective currency, and thus the foreign currency risks that could be material to results at the Group level are primarily translational, not transactional. Since all entities only held balances in their functional currencies (intercompany transactions are settled by month end) there is no foreign currency risk and therefore no disclosure is required. Derivatives are only used for economic currency hedging purposes and not as speculative investments. However, where derivatives do not meet the hedging criteria, they are classified as “financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss” for accounting purposes. The Group entered into loan agreements which are denominated in AUD or in USD. For those loans, the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rate is as follows: 53 EUR in thousands 2024 2023 (2023: 2.3%) 5.5% increase of the FX rate AUD / EUR 212 130 (2023: 2.3%) 5.5% decrease of the FX rate AUD / EUR (212) (130) (2023: 4.2%) 7.1% increase of the FX rate USD / EUR 4,170 1,895 (2023: 4.2%) 7.1% decrease of the FX rate USD / EUR (4,170) (1,895) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group has some fixed interest rates on loans however the Company’s material loan facility has a variable interest rate based on SOFR. To manage the risk on the variable component, the Company entered into a derivative financial instrument in October 2023, with a two-year maturity. The sensitivities on the SOFR rate as at 31 December 2024 are as follows: EUR in thousands 2024 2023 1% increase in SOFR (587) (636.9) 1% decrease in SOFR 587 636.9 10.2 Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. Credit risk can arise as the company offers various payment methods and other transactions with counterparties. The exposure to credit risk in its operating activities exists primarily in the form of trade receivables and security deposits with banks and financial institutions. The nature of the business limits exposure to trade receivables since customers usually pay before delivery, and hence no relevant information is disclosed. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period is the carrying amount of each class of financial asset listed below: EUR in thousands 31 December 2024 31 December 2023 Other Non-current financial assets 1,889 2,663 Trade receivables and other assets 2,415 1,545 Other current financial assets 3,803 3,615 Cash and cash equivalents 5,610 12,749 Total 13,717 20,572 Credit risk related to doubtful accounts that are subject to legal action or those overdue are monitored centrally on a regular basis. In certain countries, external collection agencies are engaged to pursue outstanding amounts. The composition of trade receivables by geographic location of amounts due from payment service providers (PSPs) and corporate customers, net of any allowances for uncollectible amounts, was as follows: EUR in thousands 31 December 2024 31 December 2023 PSP Customers Other Total PSP Customers Other Total Europe 293 25 - 318 74 207 511 333 Australia 47 7 - 54 154 99 - 253 USA (52)2 319 - 267 47 6 - 53 Total 288 351 - 639 276 312 51 639 1 Receivables from related parties 2 The negative balance in the US PSP represents funds withheld by a PSP for a 30-day rolling period, which is offset against the cash balance withheld in the PSP Paypal statement at year end. 10.3 Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. Management regularly monitors the Company’s cash balances and movements in cash throughout the period. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, credit cards and bank loans. The Company’s liquidity management involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios and maintaining equity and debt 54 financing plans. As at 31 December 2024 the Group’s current assets amounted to EUR 16,787 thousand (2023: EUR 27,199 thousand) which is less than current liabilities of EUR 53,788 thousand (2023: EUR 58,247 thousand). The Group’s cash flow from operations in 2024 was a negative EUR 1,749 thousand, though a significantly improved versus the previous year (2023: negative EUR 13,184 thousand), and the Group held a cash position of EUR 5,610 thousand (2023: EUR 12,749 thousand) as at 31 December 2024. In February 2024 FreshRealm transaction and associated equity raise and debt paydown reduced interest expense and enhanced the Company’s liquidity. The Company’s non-current liabilities, which are mainly long-term borrowings, reached EUR 85,522 thousand in the year ended 31 December 2024 (2023: EUR 96,706 thousand).

The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to maximize shareholder value. The Group monitors capital through its “net debt” ratio. In the table below the Group includes interest bearing loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, other non-current provisions relating to consideration for purchase of BistroMD (please see the note 16), cash and short-term deposits, excluding discontinued operations in its net debt calculation. 31 December 2024 31 December 2023 Interest-bearing loans and borrowings (75,966) (71,817) Trade and other payables (25,812) (25,950) Earnout Consideration (from purchase of Bistro) (947) - Warrant Consideration (from purchase of Bistro) (566) - Less: cash & short-term deposits 5,650 12,896 Net debt (97,641) (84,871) No changes were made in the objectives, policies, or processes for managing capital during the years ended 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023. 12 Contingencies & commitments The Group may face a contingent liability due to a probable legal claim initiated by a third party in Germany regarding the use of one of the trade marks. To avoid prejudice to the entity’s position in this potential dispute and due to the fact that the amount of the potential obligation cannot be measured reliably, we omit the disclosure of the amount. The final outcome depends on the potential initiation, progression and resolution of the legal dispute, so that the actual amount can not be estimated at the current moment. As at 31 December 2024, the fair value of the contingent liability to the sellers of Bistro was determined to be EUR 947 thousand. For the valuation of the earn out provision the updated performance figures as well as the actual forecast of projected revenues for the period commencing February 1, 2024 and ending February 1, 2025 has been used. A reconciliation of fair value measurement of the contingent consideration liability (Level 3) is provided below. Contingent Liability (EUR in thousands) Liability arising on business combination at acquisition date 2,770 Changes recognized in profit or loss at year end (1,823) Carrying amount at 31 December 2024 947 13 Related party transactions Parties are considered to be related if they are under common control or if one of the parties has the ability to control the other party or can exercise significant influence or joint control over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship, not merely the legal form. In addition, a related party is any executive officer, director (or nominee for director), including any of their immediate family members and any entity owned or controlled by such person. 13.1 Parent entities As at 31 December 2024, there is no controlling shareholder at the level of Marley Spoon Group SE. 13.2 Significant beneficial security holders The Group does not have a senior or ultimate holding company but has various security holders. No entities have significant influence over the Group other than the one-vote-one-share structure. Significant beneficial security holders of Marley Spoon Group SE as at 31 December 2024 include 468 Capital II GmbH & Co. KG (16.95%), Bistro MD Holdings, LLC (9.01%), USV Marley Spoon A, LLC (5.23%) and Mr. Sudeep Ramesh Ramnani (5.14%). Remaining security holders with shareholding under 10% and treasury shares make up the balance. 56 13.3 Key executive and non-executive compensation Key personnel include the Global Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Global Chief Marketing Operating Officer (CMOO), the Chief Technology and Product Officer (CTO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) (“Management Board”), and the Supervisory Board. Key Executive Management The total remuneration for officers of the Management Board is listed in the table below: EUR in thousands 2024 2023 Short-term employee benefits 1,314 1,250 Share-based payments 288 39 Total compensation 1,602 1,289 Supervisory Board The Supervisory Board currently consists of the following members: Mr. Stephan Zoll, Chairman; Ms. Erika Soderberg Johnsson, Deputy Chairwoman, Ms. Judith Jungmann, Chair of the Nominations & Remuneration Committee (NRC), Mr. Ludwig Ensthaler, Mr. Yehuda Shmidman and Mr. Alexander Kudlich. Mr. Christian Gisy, previously Chairman, stepped down from his role on 19 July 2024. For their services as a member of the Supervisory Board during the financial year 2024, each Supervisory Board member received a fixed annual remuneration in the amount of EUR 60,000. The base remuneration is inclusive of any applicable taxes, social contributions, superannuation, and other duties imposed on the respective member of the Supervisory Board. The Chairman of the Supervisory Board receives an additional remuneration of EUR 60,000 for the Chairman role. For Supervisory Board members serving on the boards of both Marley Spoon Group SE and Marley Spoon SE, the remuneration costs are borne by both entities. There is no equity-based remuneration for the Supervisory Board in 2023 or 2024. For the financial year ending 31 December 2024, the cash fees paid to the members of the Supervisory Board amount to EUR 349 thousand in aggregate. EUR in thousands 2024 2023 Short-term employee benefits 349 112 Total compensation 349 112 Further details on Marley Spoon Group’s remuneration may be found in the Remuneration Report. 13.4 Transactions with other related parties Apart from the related party transactions disclosed in notes 8.1 and 13.1, the Company had no other transactions with other related parties during the reporting period ended 31 December 2024. 14 Earnings per share Basic earnings per share (EPS) are calculated by dividing the loss for the period attributable to shareholders of the ordinary shares by the weighted average undiluted shares in the respective year. The weighted average number of ordinary shares is calculated from the number of shares in circulation at the beginning of a period adjusted by the number of shares issued during the period and multiplied by a time-weighting factor. In accordance with IAS 33 earnings per share, the effect of anti-dilutive potential shares has not been included when calculating diluted earnings per share for the years ended 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023. The Group currently has shares granted to employees that could, if not for the anti- dilutive effects, dilute basic earnings per share in the future.

Ltd as security for NAB (EUR 3,050 thousand); ● The BHI loan is secured by substantially all assets of Bistro ● The remainder of the Group’s assets are pledged as security for Runway ● 16 Bistro Acquisition On 9 February 2024, the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of Bistro MD Intermediate Holdings, Inc., Bistro MD, LLC and Silver Cuisine Bistro, LLC (“Bistro”), a US-based doctor-designed ready-to-eat meal plan provider. Bistro offers customized weight loss programs and meal delivery subscription services providing ready-to-eat, gourmet meals, designed for weight loss and long-term weight management. The acquisition grants Marley Spoon a foothold in a growing and complementary category of prepared meals in the US. It will allow the Company to leverage its digital and customer assets and is a first step toward its announced growth and consolidation strategy, enabled through its partnership with FreshRealm. The transaction closed on 9 February 2024 with a total purchase consideration of EUR 21.6m. The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method. Purchase consideration EUR in thousands Fair value recognized on acquisition date Initial consideration transferred (cash) 348 FV of shares consideration 3,403 FV of warrants consideration 566 FV of contingent consideration (earn-out) 2,770 Purchase consideration transferred 7,087 The purchase consideration consist of: 1) Shares Consideration: A total of 1,430,000 MSG Class A Shares were issued to Bistro’s shareholders as part of the purchase consideration. The total share consideration was determined by multiplying the 1,430,000 MSG Class A shares by the €2.38 closing price of MSG Class A on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as of the Valuation Date, resulting in a share consideration of EUR 3,403 thousand. 2) Warrants Consideration: The first tranche of 225,000 MSG Class A Shares would have been issued if the closing price of MSG Class A Shares had exceeded €15.00 for any ten trading days within a 30 trading day period. Similarly, a second tranche of 225,000 MSG Class A Shares would have been issued if the closing price had exceeded €20.00 under the same conditions. We calculated the fair value of the warrant consideration at EUR 566 thousand using a Monte Carlo simulation to generate price 58 paths for MSG Class A Shares over a 10 year period, assuming it would follow Geometric Brownian Motion, by applying the 10- year German government debt yield and relevered equity volatility. Using the simulated price path, we then calculated whether each respective tranche of warrant shares were earned, and multiplied the respective share price at each event date by the warrant shares earned. We then calculated the present value of the warrants by applying the respective German government debt yield. 3) Earnout Consideration: The Seller is eligible to receive additional MS Class A Shares contingent upon the volume-weighted average share price of Class A Shares on the Xetra exchange during the thirty-day period preceding the first anniversary of the Closing Date (“First Anniversary VWAP”), the Seller may be granted Earn-Out Shares. This is conditional upon the fulfillment of a specified revenue target and a margin target. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration through a scenario-based net-present-value analysis. In estimating the fair value of the earnout, we used the following key assumptions: Period: commencing February 1, 2024 and ending February 1, 2025. Risk-free Rate: 4.86%. Volatility: 10.0%, based on the median observed from the adjusted guideline public companies’ asset volatility, as well as their respective revenue metric volatility. To estimate the fair value of the earnout, we first simulated the share price and volume weighted average share price (VWAP) to determine the total number of earnout shares possible. We then applied the discount rate of 9.9% for the respective earnout period projected net revenue to calculate the risk-neutral forecasted net revenue. Then, from the risk neutral forecasted net revenue, we performed a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate net revenue, assuming it follows Geometric Brownian Motion, by applying a risk-free rate and a metric volatility of 10.0%. Based on the simulated share price, VWAP, net revenue, and contribution margin we then estimated the earnout payment value by multiplying the total earnout shares earned by the simulated share price. We calculated the fair value of the earnout consideration to be EUR 2,770 thousand. 4) Cash Consideration: An incremental cash consideration of EUR 348 thousand based on the stock purchase agreement. Fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Bistro as at the date of acquisition were: in EUR in thousands Fair value recognized on acquisition date Cash 1,718 Trade receivables 27 Inventories 2,255 Right-of-use assets 197 Intangible assets (IT development costs) 1,411 Deferred tax asset 562 Prepaid expenses and other assets 517 Identified intangible asset: Brand name 7,526 Identified intangible asset: Customer relationships 292 Total assets 14,505 Trade and other payables (2,730) Accrued expenses and other payables (842) Right-of-use liabilities (166) Assumed debt (14,485) Total liabilities (18,223) Total identifiable net assets at fair value (3,718) 59 For the deferred tax assets a recoverability test was performed and the asset was revalued to the recoverable amount of EUR 562 thousand. The acquired lease liabilities were measured using the present value of the remaining lease payments at the date of acquisition. The right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities. Identified intangible asset: Brand name The brand name has been identified as a separate asset. It was measured based on the “relief from royalty” method. This method estimates the savings that the owner of a particular brand realizes from owning it. We applied the pre-tax royalty rate of 2.5% (based on Market Perception & Brand Recognition, Profitability Analysis & Affordability, Comparable Transactions & Precedent Acquisition) to the projected revenue stream associated with the Trade Name to estimate the pre-tax royalty savings. The pre-tax royalty savings were then tax affected to compute after-tax royalty savings. Next, the after-tax savings were discounted to present value using an after-tax discount rate of 16.0%. Identified intangible asset: Customer relationships The list of existing customers has been identified as a separate asset. The income approach, specifically the excess earnings method, was used to value the Customer List. The excess earnings method calculates the value of an intangible asset by discounting its future cash flows. Cash flow is calculated by estimating after-tax income, which is adjusted for non-cash charges. A contributory asset charge is applied to reflect the costs associated with the use of other assets to generate the cash flow. The excess earnings that remain after accounting for returns associated with the other assets are attributed to the Customer List intangible asset. Projected revenue and margins were based on the current revenue and according projections generated by existing customers. The discount rate for valuing the Customer List was based on the level of risks associated with existing customers which we considered to be similar to those associated with the overall business. Accordingly, we estimated a discount rate of 16.0% for the asset Goodwill Goodwill was recognized due to expected synergies and benefits from the BistroMD Intermediate Inc and its subsidiaries. It is not tax deductible and relates to growth, cost synergies, and cross-selling opportunities. It has been allocated to the Group’s US segment. EUR in thousands Fair value recognized on acquisition date Initial consideration transferred (cash) 348 FV of shares consideration 3,403 FV of warrants consideration 566 FV of contingent consideration 2,770 Purchase consideration transferred 7,087 FV of net assets acquired (3,718) Goodwill 10,804 Cash flows on acquisition Analysis of cash flows on acquisition in EUR in thousands Fair value recognized on acquisition date Net cash acquired 1,718 Cash paid (initial consideration transferred) 348 Total net cashflow on acquisition 1,374 Transaction costs in connection with the acquisition of approximately EUR 675 thousand have been expensed and are included in general & administrative expenses in the statement of profit or loss and adjusted as a special item. They are also a part of operating cash flows in the statement of cash flows. From the date of acquisition, Bistro contributed EUR 30,553 thousand of revenue and EUR (346) thousand to net loss from continuing operations of the Group. If the combination had taken place as at 01 January 2024, the revenue of the acquired business would have been 34,666 thousand (EUR 4,113 thousand for the period 01 January to 08 February 2024) and the net loss from continuing operations would have been EUR (1,084) thousand (EUR (738) thousand for the period 01 January to 08 February 2024). 60 17 Discontinued operations In Q4 2024 Management decided to dispose of Chefgood Pty Ltd. On 15 April 2025 Marley Spoon Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Asset Sale Agreement to sell substantially all assets relating to the operations of Chefgood Pty Ltd to CG Meals Pty Ltd. for a price of AUD 11m. Management expects the transaction to close before the end of Q2 (see also section 20 Subsequent Events). Chefgood Pty Ltd. was not previously shown as held-for-sale or discontinued operations. It was also not shown as a separate line of business or segment but is included in the segment Australia. However, due to the significance of the operations Management has decided to show Chefgood Pty Ltd. in accordance with IFRS 5 as discontinued operations as of the balance sheet date. The major classes of assets and liabilities of Chefgood Pty Ltd classified as held for sale as at 31 December 2024 are as follows: EUR in thousands 31.12.2024 31.12.2023 Property, plant and equipment 990 1,225 Right-of-use assets 290 454 Intangible assets 2,875 3,969 Goodwill - 8,653 Inventories 645 575 Trade and other receivables 11 122 Other current assets 114 181 Cash and cash equivalents 397 450 Total Assets held for sale 5,322 15,630 Lease liabilities 351 523 Short term borrowings - 432 Trade and other payables 1,322 1,730 Deferred tax liabilities - 457 Contract liabilities 53 42 Other financial liabilities 311 432 Other non-financial liabilities 441 434 Liabilities directly associated with the assets held for sale 2,478 4,050 EUR in thousands 2024 2023 Revenue 22,371 19,002 Cost of goods sold (12,400) (10,737) Gross profit 9,972 8,264 Expenses (20,561) (10,347) Earnings before interest & taxes (EBIT) (10,589) (2,083) Income tax expense 396 1,310 Loss for the year from discontinuing operations (10,193) (772) The loss of EUR (10,193) thousand includes mainly the impairment of goodwill of EUR (8,514) thousand, which resulted from the application of IAS 36, Impairment of Assets (also see note 18, Goodwill). The discontinued operation contributed net cash inflows of EUR 672 thousand (inflow 2023: 320 thousand) from operating activities, net cash outflows of EUR 88 thousand (outflow 2023: 91 thousand) from investing activities, and net cash outflows of EUR 637 thousand financing activities during the year ended 31 December 2024, (outflow 2023: 1,140 thousand). Intangible assets - discontinued operations Intangible assets related to the discontinued operation include acquired trade names with a carrying amount of EUR 2,875 thousand as at 31 December 2024. During the period, amortisation of EUR 833 thousand was recognised in respect of these assets. No additions, 61 disposals or impairment losses were recorded. These movements have been excluded from the intangible asset table in Note 7.3 and are disclosed here in accordance with IAS 38.118 and IFRS 5. Property, Plant and Equipment - Discontinued operation The movement in property, plant and equipment related to the discontinued operations is presented below. These amounts have been excluded from the movement table in Note 7.1 and are disclosed separately in accordance with IAS 16.73 and IFRS 5.

As at 31 December 2024, the right-of-use assets related to the discontinued operation amounted to EUR 290 thousand. The corresponding lease liabilities totalled EUR 351 thousand. During the period, depreciation of EUR 155 thousand was recognised and interest expense of EUR 32 thousand was recognised on lease liabilities. Lease payments of EUR 192 thousand were made during the year. No additions, terminations, or remeasurements of lease contracts were recorded during the period. 18 Goodwill Goodwill for ChefGood Pty Ltd The following table discloses the allocation of goodwill of ChefGood as well as the development in 2024: Goodwill (EUR Currency translation in thousands) 31 December 2023 Initial consolidation Impairment effects 31 December 2024 Australia 8,653 8,974 (8,514) (139) - Total 8,653 8,974 (8,514) (139) - The goodwill acquired with the purchase of Chefgood in January 2022 has been allocated to the Group’s Australian segment and is tested on the combined operations of Australia. There has been no change in the process of identification of CGUs in the current year. Pursuant to IAS 36 the Group performed an annual impairment test for goodwill. The annual impairment test is generally performed as of 31 December. The Group considers the relationship between its market capitalisation and its book value, among other factors, when reviewing for indicators of impairment. The Group determines the discount rate for the CGUs based on weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). This can include the determination of a risk-free rate, country risk premiums and a spread for credit risk for the respective business-specific peer groups. Additionally, the calculation considers the capital structure and beta factor of the respective peer group as well as the average tax rates of each CGU. For the CGU for which impairment was tested, the post-tax discount rate of 13.13% (2023: 13.1%) was determined. 62 The recoverable amounts for the CGU were calculated based on the concept of value-in-use. In assessing the value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are based on detailed projections for the CGU approved by senior management, covering a period of five years. The cash flows after the five-year period are extrapolated on the assumption of a growth rate, which is derived from the assumed average market or industry growth rate of the CGUs/group of CGUs. Based on this extrapolation a terminal value is determined. The underlying management forecast reflects the current performance and management’s best possible estimates on the future CGU development. The calculation of value-in-use is most sensitive to the following: ● The discount rate used ● The growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the forecast period (terminal value growth rate) ● Contribution margin as a % of net revenue Sensitivity analysis was conducted on the three key assumptions above with the impairment findings being cumulative, i.e., one key assumption was tested and then a second key assumption was added to the first assumption, and so forth. The unimpaired carrying value of the assets amounted to EUR 29,686 thousand at 31 December 2024. Based on this sensitivity analysis an impairment requirement was identified. The management decided to apply a conservative scenario and impair the full amount of the goodwill resulting in the impairment loss of EUR 8,514 thousand. Discount rate The post-tax discount rate applied to the cash flow projections is 13.13%. Market risk premiums and risk-free interest rates applied are those at the total Group level. A 50 basis point increase in the pre-tax discount rate would not result in an impairment of the remaining assets of the Group CGUs to which the goodwill is allocated. Terminal value growth rate A growth rate of 1.5% was used to extrapolate the cash flows of the CGU beyond the five-year period. A reduction of the terminal value growth rate of 50 basis points as a result of negative competitive or consumer impacts would not result in an impairment of the remaining assets of the Group CGUs to which the goodwill is allocated. Contribution margin Contribution margin expansion of approximately 2,4 percentage points by 2025 and slight decrease thereafter is assumed in very conservative management’s forecast. Contribution margin can be negatively impacted by inflation or supply chain disruptions. For the purpose of sensitivity analysis a decline of 2 percentage points on the contribution margin was tested, which resulted in an impairment. If contribution margin remained as average in the last three years, still an impairment would be required. Goodwill for Bistro MD Intermediate Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries The following table discloses the allocation of goodwill for Bistro MD Intermediate Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as well as the development in 2024: Goodwill (EUR in 31 December 2023 Initial consolidation Impairment Currency translation 31 December 2024 thousands) effects BistroMD - 10,804 (4,934) 394 6,264 Total - 10,804 (4,934) 394 6,264 The goodwill acquired with the purchase of Bistro MD Intermediate Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries on 9 of February 2024 has been allocated to the Bistro MD Intermediate Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as a separate cash generating unit (CGU). There has been no change in the process of identification of CGUs in the current year. Pursuant to IAS 36 the Group performed an annual impairment test for goodwill. The annual impairment test is generally performed as of 31 December 2024, on an annual basis. The Group considers the relationship between its market capitalization and its book value, among other factors, when reviewing for indicators of impairment. Compared to the date of the acquisition, Bistro MD’s customer base slightly declined, partly driven by supply chain disruptions. Further impact came from the rise of popularity for GLP-1 - supplements for regulation of appetite and weight-loss. Despite early signs of 63 recovery in 2025, Management believes in a reduced revenue forecast. Management has therefore assumed a triggering event for the impairment test. The Group determines the discount rate for the CGUs based on weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). This can include the determination of a risk-free rate, country risk premiums and a spread for credit risk for the respective business-specific peer groups. Additionally, the calculation considers the capital structure and beta factor of the respective peer group as well as the average tax rates of each CGU. For the CGU for which impairment was tested, the post-tax discount rate of 15% was determined. The recoverable amounts for the CGU were calculated based on the concept of value-in-use. In assessing the value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are based on detailed projections for the CGU approved by senior management, covering a period of five years. The cash flows after the five-year period are extrapolated on the assumption of a growth rate, which is derived from the assumed average market or industry growth rate of the CGUs/group of CGUs. Based on this extrapolation a terminal value is determined. The underlying management forecast reflects the current performance and management’s best possible estimates on the future CGU development. The calculation of value-in-use is most sensitive to the following: ● The discount rate used ● The growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the forecast period (terminal value growth rate) ● Contribution margin as a % of net revenue Sensitivity analysis was conducted on the three key assumptions above with the impairment findings being cumulative, i.e., one key assumption was tested and then a second key assumption was added to the first assumption, and so forth. The carrying value of the assets amounted to EUR 19.3 million as at 31 December 2024. The recoverable amount of the assets was calculated at EUR 13,6 million taking the sensitivity analysis into consideration. Based on this, management decided to impair EUR 4.9 million of the goodwill. Discount rate The post-tax discount rate applied to the cash flow projections is 15%. Market risk premiums and risk-free interest rates applied are those at the total Group level. A 100 basis point increase in the pre-tax discount rate would result in an impairment of EUR 4,330 thousand. Terminal value growth rate A growth rate of 1.5% was used to extrapolate the cash flows of the CGU beyond the five-year period. A reduction of the terminal value growth rate of 50 basis points as a result of negative competitive or consumer impacts would result in an impairment of EUR 4,660 thousand. Contribution margin Contribution margin expansion of approximately 1.9 percentage points by 2025 and slight increase of 0.5% thereafter was assumed. Contribution margin can be negatively impacted by inflation or supply chain disruptions. For the purpose of sensitivity analysis the decline of 2 percentage points in the contribution margin was tested, which resulted in an impairment of EUR 5,400 thousand. 19 Sale of US operational assets to FreshRealm In February 2024, the Company’s US subsidiary entered into a 7-year strategic partnership with FreshRealm, the innovative Fresh Meals solutions platform. This partnership provides the Company with a scalable, capital efficient, asset-light platform that will support its ongoing growth and consolidation strategy. It will allow the Company to focus on its creative and market-facing competencies, while enabling future acquisitions and potential launch of additional direct-to-consumer brands. FreshRealm is a channel-agnostic fresh meals platform that enables partners to operate asset-light and diversify their fresh meal offerings while enjoying the benefits of scale. 64 As part of this partnership, FreshRealm acquired the Company’s US operations assets for EUR 22.5 million and became its exclusive manufacturing partner for all US manufacturing and fulfillment activities. This resulted in a gain on the sale of assets of EUR 7.395 thousand, which consists of - a gain on disposal of lease contracts EUR 2.378 thousand, - a loss from adding provision of EUR 2.629 thousand and a - gain on sale of assets EUR 7.646 thousand, consisting of a gain from inventory sales of EUR 2.810 thousand and a gain from fixed assets sales of EUR 4.836 thousand. The transaction had the effect of reducing the Company’s property, plant and equipment, inventory, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. A platform fee is in turn charged to the US entity covering FreshRealm overhead. 20 Summary of significant accounting policies This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements to the extent they have not already been disclosed in the other notes above. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the Group consisting of Marley Spoon Group SE and its subsidiaries. The Group’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. 20.1 Basis of preparation The Group’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union (EU) and the additional requirements of the Luxembourg Company Law. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the derivative financial instruments and the Chefgood contingent liability that have been measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euros and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (EUR thousand), except where otherwise stated. The fiscal year corresponds to the calendar year. The consolidated financial statements represent a continuation of the consolidated financial statements of the accounting acquirer i.e. Marley Spoon SE. 20.2 Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2023. Subsidiaries are all companies over which Marley Spoon Group SE has direct or indirect control as defined by IFRS 10. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to have control of the subsidiary. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the Group and to the non-controlling interests (NCI), even if this results in the NCI having a deficit balance. 20.3 Foreign currency translation Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euros, which is the Group’s reporting currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: 65 ▪ assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet and non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions, ▪ income and expenses are translated at month-end exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and ▪ all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. 20.4 Current versus non-current presentation The Group presents assets and liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position based on a current/non-current classification. An asset is current when it is: expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle ▪ held primarily for the purpose of trading ▪ expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or ▪ ▪ cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is current when it is: expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle ▪ held primarily for the purpose of trading ▪ ▪ due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or ▪ there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities. 20.5 Financial instruments Initial recognition and measurement A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a timeframe established by regulation or marketplace convention (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date on which the Group commits to purchase/sell the asset. Non-derivative financial assets The Group recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECLs) on: (a) financial assets measured at amortized cost; (b) financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) The Group applies the general approach for security deposits which are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost and reported as non-current financial assets on the Statement of Financial Position. ECLs are recognized for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. If, at the reporting date, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, ECLs are recognized for the financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information. The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due. 66 ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e., the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset. Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectation of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs, whereby the changes in credit risk are not tracked, but instead the Group recognizes a loss allowance based on the lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The majority of trade receivables are held by the Group’s payment service providers having collected the proceeds from customers prior to delivery of the goods. The PSPs hold these receivables for a maximum period of one week before transferring to the Group, effectively serving only as a collection pass- through. The Group has not experienced, nor does it expect, material credit losses from these parties given the reputation of the parties and the nature of the receivable and therefore have not recognized any ECLs for these items. For receivables from corporate groups, the Group uses an allowance matrix to measure the ECLs of trade receivables from individual customers which are calculated using a ‘roll rate’ method based on the probability of a receivable progressing through successive stages of delinquency to write-off. For security deposits, classified under non-current financial assets, the Group considers there to be no material ECLs arising from these transactions. Security deposits are paid to lessors or held by financial institutions on behalf of the lessor as security over the leased premises. These deposits are held for the life of the lease. Management determines the risk of credit losses to be immaterial given mitigation strategies exist to reduce this risk, including the issuance of letters of credit over the security deposit as well as the ability of management to withhold future lease payments. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or fair value through profit or loss (FVPL). All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings, and derivative financial instruments. Financial liabilities at amortized costs are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are removed from the balance sheet as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as financing expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Accounts payable amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within twelve months after the reporting period. They are recognized at their fair value. If they are long term in nature they are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts. These are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. When revalued assets are sold, it is the Group’s policy to transfer any amounts included in other reserves relating to these assets to retained earnings in the Statement of Financial Position. 20.6 Operating leases Where an entity within the Group is a lessee in a lease which does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership from the lessor to the entity, the total lease payments are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income (net of any incentives received from the lessor) on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease agreements longer than twelve months and subject to the IFRS 16 requirements follow specific presentation and accounting procedures disclosed in note 7.2. 20.7 Sublease Pursuant to IFRS 16, upon lease commencement, the Group recognizes assets held under a finance lease as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease, with finance income subsequently recognized over the lease term of a finance lease, based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment. 20.8 Intangible assets Intangible assets which are not acquired as part of a business combination are measured on initial recognition at cost. Assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. 67 The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful economic lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the expense category consistent with the nature of the intangible assets. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash- generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when the asset is derecognized. Trademarks, licenses and customer contracts Trademarks and licenses are shown at historical cost. Trademarks, licenses and customer contracts acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Acquired brands and customer contracts in general have a finite useful life. They are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Software Purchased software solutions are recorded as intangible assets and amortized from the point at which the asset is ready for use. Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and use the asset. Management has made judgements and estimates regarding the future economic benefits of capitalized internally generated software. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Research costs are expensed as incurred. Environmental credits Purchased carbon offset credits, voluntarily obtained to reduce the Company's emissions, are recorded as intangible assets at historical costs. The credits are subsequently expensed when the Company applies them to its net zero goals, (i.e., when the carbon offset credit is voluntarily surrendered to the state or applicable agency). The credits are not amortized over time. A summary of the policies applied to the Group’s intangible assets is as follows: Acquired Acquired Customer Developed Development Costs Trademarks Tradename Relationships Website Useful life Finite (10 years) Finite (1 year) Finite (3 years) Finite (3-5 years) indefinite Amortized on a Amortized on a Amortized on a Amortized on a Amortization method straight-line basis straight-line basis straight-line basis straight-line basis No amortization used over the period of over the period of over the period of over the period of Tested annually for expected expected expected expected economic impairment economic benefit economic benefit economic benefit benefit Internally generated or Acquired Acquired Acquired Internally generated Acquired acquired 20.9 Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of presentation in the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position. Cash and cash equivalents also include cash at banks as well as short-term deposits, which are accessible within three months or less, for which the risk of changes in value is considered to be insignificant. Fair value of cash and cash equivalents equal their respective carrying amount due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. 20.10 Inventories Raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs of purchased inventory include the purchase price, shipping and handling costs incurred to bring the inventories to their present location and condition and are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. The cost of inventories is assigned using a weighted average cost principle and items are consumed using a first-in, first-out (FIFO) principle. Inventory with a short shelf life that is not utilized within the best-by period is directly written off as expense (cost of goods sold). 68 20.11 Provisions Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make-good obligations are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the probable obligation at the end of the reporting period. Contingent liabilities recognized in a business combination A contingent liability recognized in a business combination is initially measured at its fair value. Subsequently, it is measured at the higher of the amount that would be recognized in accordance with the requirements for provisions above or the amount initially recognized less (when appropriate) cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with the requirements for revenue recognition. 20.12 Decommissioning liability The Group recorded a provision for decommissioning costs of its fulfilment centers. Decommissioning costs are provided for at the present value of expected costs to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows and are recognized as part of the cost of the relevant asset. The cash flows are discounted at a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the decommissioning liability. The estimated future costs of decommissioning are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs or in the discount rate applied are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset. The amount deducted from the cost of the asset shall not exceed its carrying amount. If a decrease in the liability exceeds the carrying amount of the asset, the excess shall be recognised immediately in profit or loss. 20.13 Contract liabilities A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. Contract liabilities primarily relate to advance payments received from customers. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods to the customer, these pending performance obligations are recognized as a contract liability. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. 20.14 Employee benefits Share-based compensation The Group provides equity-settled share-based compensation benefits, which are provided to employees via an Employee Share Option Program, previously known as Virtual Share Program, and Share Option Program. The accounting policies are described in note 8. Other employee benefit obligations The liabilities for annual leave are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are then measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period. The Group does not operate any post-employment schemes other than mandatory defined contribution schemes. 20.15 Taxes Current income tax Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the relevant taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to calculate the amounts are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Group has operations and generates taxable income. Current income tax related to items recorded directly into equity are recognized in equity and not in the statement of profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate. Deferred taxes Deferred tax is provided using the liability method or temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences except for those between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 69 Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of all unused tax credits and unused tax losses. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the tax liability settled based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Sales tax Expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of sales tax except when the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case, the sales tax is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item, as applicable. 20.16 Impairment Non-financial assets (other than inventories) The carrying amounts of non-financial assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the recoverable amount is assessed on a CGU level and compared to net cash flows for that CGU. When determining the value-in-use, estimated net cash flows are discounted to their net present value (NPV) using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU in the current climate. In Management’s judgement, the lowest aggregation of assets which give rise to CGUs as defined by IAS 36 Impairment of Assets are the individual operating entities, namely Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Austria, United Kingdom, United States of America and Australia. For the applicable policy on inventories refer to note 18.10. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as at 31 December and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually as at 31 December at the CGU level, as appropriate, and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Group assesses where climate risks could have a significant impact, such as the introduction of emission-reduction legislation that may increase manufacturing costs. These climate-related risks are included as key assumptions where they materially impact the measure of recoverable amounts. These assumptions have been included in the cash-flow forecasts in assessing value-in-use amounts. 20.17 Revenue recognition The Group generates revenue primarily from the sale of food ingredients along with corresponding recipes as meal kits. Revenue is recognized in accordance with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Group acts as principal in accordance with IFRS 15 in primarily all of its revenue contracts. In situations where the fulfillment is outsourced to a third party, Marley Spoon determined to be the principal in accordance with IFRS 15 as it is responsible for fulfilling the promise of the specified good (mealkits/RTH dishes) for the customers and for the acceptability of the specified good as well as discretion in establishing the price for the specified good. The Group follows the five-step model pursuant to IFRS 15 in which the amount of and period in which revenue is recognized is determined. The process separates the following steps: identification of the contract(s) with the customer, identification of the individual performance obligations, determination of the transaction price, allocation of the transaction price to the individual performance obligations, and the determination of the timing of revenue recognition. 70 The Group has a single performance obligation to fulfill for its customers, which is the promise to deliver the ordered meal kit directly to the customer. Revenue is recognized only when the above performance obligation is satisfied, namely, upon delivery of the meal kit. The Group does not provide a right of return for its products given that the good provided contains fresh produce. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, in exchange for delivery of the ordered meal kit, stated net of promotional discounts, rebates, and sales-related taxes. Prepayments received from customers for future deliveries are recognized as contract liabilities under IFRS 15 and are shown as other non-financial liabilities. Furthermore, the Group may participate in selling vouchers for future orders to marketing partners. Sales of such vouchers are only included in revenue when a voucher has been redeemed and the corresponding box has been delivered. Prepaid and unused vouchers sold to marketing partners are recognized as contract liabilities under IFRS 15 and are shown as other non-financial liabilities. 20.18 Cost of goods sold Cost of goods sold includes the purchase price of materials used in production, inbound shipping charges, costs attributable to picking and rent of the fulfillment centers. Shipping charges paid to receive products from suppliers (inbound shipping charges) are included in inventory and recognized as costs of goods sold upon the sale of products to customers. 20.19 Fulfillment expenses Fulfillment expenses represent shipping expenses incurred to deliver customer orders and customer payment related expenses. 20.20 Marketing expenses Marketing expenses represent costs incurred in the promotion of products, including online and offline media expenses, production and distribution costs of advertising material, costs of loyalty gifts and other costs associated with the Group’s market presence. Royalty expenses are costs that relate to license and promotion agreements in which royalties are paid to third parties for use of trademarks and related marketing materials. Royalty expenses are based on the greater of a pre-determined contracted percentage of sales or the minimum guarantees in place and are expensed as the services are received. 20.21 General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses are costs not directly associated with the production and distribution of goods. They include management and headquarters personnel wages and benefits, travel, rent, insurance, utilities, and other overhead costs. 20.22 Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. 20.23 Business combinations and goodwill Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Acquisition cost is measured as the consideration transferred (measured at acquisition date fair value) plus the amount of any non-controlling interests (NCI) in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure NCI in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses. The Group determines that it has acquired a business when the acquired set of activities and assets include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The acquired process is considered substantive if it is critical to the ability to continue producing outputs. Inputs acquired include an organized workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge, or experience to perform that process or to significantly contribute to the ability to continue producing outputs and is considered unique or scarce or cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay in the ability to continue producing outputs. When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of IFRS 9 is measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in the statement of profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9. Other contingent consideration that is not within the scope of IFRS 9 is measured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. 71 Goodwill is initially measured at cost (being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interests and any previous interest held over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed). If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognized in profit or loss. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s CGUs that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Where goodwill has been allocated to a CGU and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. 20.24 Discontinued Operation The Group classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset (disposal group), excluding finance costs and income tax expense. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable, and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the plan to sell the asset and the sale is expected to be completed within one year from the date of the classification. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortised once classified as held for sale. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the statement of financial position. Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of profit or loss. Cash flows from discontinued operations are not included in the consolidated statement of cash flows and are disclosed separately. Additional disclosures are provided in Note 17. All other notes to the financial statements include amounts for continuing operations, unless indicated otherwise. 20.25 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures The Company has adopted all relevant new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union (EU) which are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. To the extent these financial statements have changed since the 2023 report due to changes in standards and interpretations, the Company has disclosed the impact of those changes. The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Group’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Group has not adopted any of the new or amended standards early in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

The Company has drawn the full amount on 15 April 2025. Berliner Volksbank - Amendments of Standstill Agreement On 25 February 2025 the maturity of the loan from Berliner Volksbank (BVB) was extended to 31 March 2025. On 8/11 April 2025 the maturity of the loan was once more extended to 15 April 2025 and the loan amount to be repaid was reduced to EUR 1.4 million . This amount was repaid in full on 15 April 2025. Employee Workforce Reduction On 27 February 2025, the Group implemented workforce reductions across all regions and subsidiaries, including Marley Spoon SE, as part of an ongoing strategic initiative aimed at enhancing profitability. The restructuring affected roughly 5% of the total workforce, primarily impacting central function roles. These changes are designed to align the Group’s resources with its core priorities and to position Marley Spoon for continued success in the meal kit and ready-to-heat market landscape. Consent to Loan and Security Agreement On 14 April 2025 the Company entered into a Consent to Loan and Security Agreement with Runway to obtain consent for the sale of Chefgood’s operations CG Meals Pty Ltd. In this agreement it is also agreed for the Company to draw upon the additional loan amount granted in the Runway 10th Amendment. It is further agreed that interest payable will be added to the total loan amount until further notice of Runway. The Company and Runway will work together to explore further financing options. Sale of Chefgood On 15 April 2025 Marley Spoon Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Asset Sale Agreement to sell substantially all assets relating to the operations of Chefgood Pty Ltd to CG Meals Pty Ltd. for a price of AUD 11m. Management expects the closing to occur before the end of Q2 2025. The purchase price will be paid in installments. Upon closing an amount of AUD 9m will be paid. Further AUD 2m will be paid over a period of three months following the closing date. Runway 11th Amendment On 29 April 2025 the Company executed the Eleventh Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement with Runway to extend the loan amount by an additional EUR 2,5 million to be drawn to cover certain financial liabilities as they potentially become due. Furthermore the existing agreement is amended to defer any cash payments relating to amortization, principal repayment and interest payments until 31 May 2026. The consolidated financial statements were authorized by the Management Board on 30 April 2025.
