Financial Highlights and KPIs

Updates

Q4 Financial Highlights

Gross Profit*

• Excluding one-time bulk operations in 2020

• (1) Adjusted EBITDA pre IFRS 16 = EBIT + D&A + other costs (including IPO costs in 2020 ) + stock-based compensation (SBC) + one-time bulk operation (in 2020) - the impact of IFRS 16

• (2) Net Income (NI) and EPS (both attributable to shareholders) adjusted for stock-based compensation (SBC), one-time bulk operation in 2020 and IPO costs in 2020

2022 Financial Highlights

  • Annual revenue exceeded NIS one billion for the first time ever
    • Revenue growth was driven by the addition of 3 new stores(1) and a 3.2% increase in average basket size; partilally offset by a 1.5% decrease in SSSG when compared to the exceptional growth experienced in 2021 resulting from lingering pandemic tailwinds
  • Robust gross margins and operating cash flows of NIS ~200M (5x 2021), mainly due to inventory levels intentionally going down
