This presentation includes key performance indicators (KPIs), including Operating EBITDA margin and Contribution Margin, which are not measures of liquidity or financial performance under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Operating EBITDA is defined as Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), excluding the effects of special items such as equity-settled share-based payments, as well as significant items of income and expenditure that are the result of an isolated, non-recurring event. This is an indicator for evaluating operating profitability. The Operating EBITDA margin is defined as Operating EBITDA as a percent of revenue. Contribution Margin is defined as gross profit less fulfillment expenses, where gross profit means net revenue less cost of goods sold, as a percent of revenue. Contribution Margin shows how much is available for coverage of fixed costs such as personnel, other expenses, and marketing. Active customers: Customers who have purchased a meal kit at least once over the past three months; Active subscribers: Customers who have an active subscription (i.e., ordered or skipped a delivery) on an average weekly basis during the quarter; Average basket size net (on a constant currency basis): The average monetary value of an order i.e., net revenue divided by the number of orders in a given period (excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations versus the prior period); Total orders: Number of customer orders in a given time period; Meals sold: Number of individual meals or total portions sold within a specified period; Average meals per order: Number of meals sold in a given time period divided by the number of customer orders in that same period; Customer acquisition costs (CAC): Costs of acquiring a customer (i.e., marketing expenses such as media spend) calculated over a period per new customer acquired during that period, net of marketing vouchers; Revenue from repeat customers: Net revenue from orders in a certain time period from customers who have ordered the same brand in the same country before (not necessarily in the same period)
