This 6-month period will also have been marked by one-off investments to prepare for the end of year, a key period for the Group. All these initiatives allow us to look with confidence towards H2 and to reiterate our revenue targets for the current year and for 2020."

H1 HIGHLIGHTS

In the first half of 2017, Showroomprivé posted solid revenue growth, driven in particular by the acceleration of International operations. Showroomprivé consolidated its strategy aiming to respond to all the needs of digital women by acquiring Beauté Privée and implementing a strategic and commercial partnership with Steinhoff/Conforama.

1. Group transformation with the signing of a strategic partnership with Steinhoff/Conforama 

  • A strategic and commercial partnership with Steinhoff / Conforama was announced on May 17th  and finalized on July 3rd.
  • This strategic partnership will allow Showroomprivé to accelerate the implementation of its growth ambitions in France and on an international level.
  • Thanks to this partnership, Showroomprivé will: (i) reinforce itself in the household equipment sector; (ii) have access to an exceptional network of physical stores for the click-and-collect of Showroomprivé products, and (iii) benefit from the support in terms of sourcing and the international presence of the Steinhoff group.
  • Operational teams have begun to work more closely while synergies and joint commercial development have just started. First synergies are to be implemented as early as in the 3rd quarter.

2. Earlier integration of Saldi Privati 

  • The important integration work undertaken in November 2016 has been successfully completed, allowing the merger of the two platforms Showroomprivé and Saldi Privati, as well as of their infrastructure and member databases.
  • All Group employees now use the same tools, interfaces, and platforms to facilitate interaction and sharing of sales.
  • The completion of this stage, that has had a one-off impact on the EBITDA margin of Saldi Privati in H1, will enable the announced cost and revenue synergies to be implemented as early as in the second half of 2017. Profitability will therefore be achieved in 2018.

3. Continuous improvement in service quality and in customer experience 

  • Customer navigation
    • All the digital innovations developed in France (new UX, new mobile website, new search engine) have been rolled out internationally.
    • Launch of a new sponsorship module
    • New functionnality with creation of the Gift Finder that will offer a more convenient experience to our members
  • Delivery and service quality
    • 7,000 new additional pick-up points have been established in Europe and a specific network for delivery of heavy products has also been created.
    • The Group's logistics systems in Belgium, Spain, and Portugal were reorganised, enabling a 30% reduction in delivery times for H1.
    • Launch of Infinity in Belgium and Italy
  • Payment
    • One-click payment and payment in four instalments (in partnership with ONEY) have been widely rolled out to drive and facilitate purchases.

4. Solid growth 

  • The Group's revenue increased by 27% from €240.3 million in H1 2016 to €306.2 million.
  • Organic growth was 16.8%.
  • EBITDA margin excluding Saldi Privati was 4.5% (3.6% with Saldi Privati).
  • Group's EBITDA margin excluding Saldi Privati was impacted by marketing investments anticipated from H2 in H1 (+€1.2 million), and by storage costs related to firm purchase opportunities grasped in H1 in order to foster year-end growth.
  • Excluding these exceptional items, the adjusted EBITDA margin excluding Saldi Privati was 5.3%.

5. Acceleration of International growth

  • The Group's international growth was 87% over H1 (28% like-for-like) with a revenue of €54 million.
  • As a result of the multi-local strategy (recruitment of local teams, redesign of logistics for the international segment, and rollout of new functionalities already launched in France) started in 2016, this strong growth has confirmed the acceleration seen within the International segment since Q4 2016.
  • The Group has continued to strengthen its international sourcing teams in order to provide an even better offer adapted to its international customers' expectations.

6. Strengthening of CSR initiatives on innovation 

  • Adding value to its fashion-based model and its brand partners, Showroomprivé has stayed a step ahead by continuing to develop its initiatives regarding Fashion Tech.
    • In line with its social involvement, the Showroomprivé Foundation opened the first e-commerce school in Roubaix. Over the next five years, the school will offer more than 4,000 hours of free training to nearly 100 students isolated from the labour market.
  • From June 28th to July 3rd, Showroomprivé organised the 2nd annual &abcz;Look Forward Fashion Tech Festival&abcz;, bringing together more than 10,000 visitors at the Gaïté Lyrique.

INITIATIVES FOR H2

Showroomprivé will continue to innovate and improve its customer experience during H2 with the rollout of a range of strategic initiatives aimed at boosting members' activity.

  • Operational synergies and optimizations

    • Steinhoff / Conforama: the first effects are expected as from the 3rd quarter, thanks to:
      • The roll-out of the Click & Collect system in several pilot sites as from September
      • The launch of cross-business operations (web exclusives, flash sales with Conforama, traffic sharing, etc.) as from the 3rd quarter.
    • Saldi Privati: implementation of cost and revenue synergies announced as from the second half of 2017.
    • The Group has identified an operational optimization plan of €2 million over H2.

    • Further strengthening of international sourcing teams, particularly in Italy.

  • Improved customer experience

    • Improvement of the conversion rate: Showroomprivé will offer personalisation of all its purchasing platforms (website, mobile site) to provide its members with an environment adapted to their preferences, as well as a selection of ever more relevant offers.
    • Rationalisation of the purchasing process: The Group will launch a Personal Shopper search engine that will allow customers to refine their searches as they wish. Personal Shopper will be implemented progressively from September.
  • Logistics

    • Showroomprivé will open a new footwear-dedicated warehouse in Q3 in partnership with ADS and will significantly reshape its Saint Witz site, improving delivery timeframes and making significant operating cost reductions.

GROUP TARGETS FOR 2017 ONWARDS

Strengthened by the build-up of quality inventories and marketing investments made over H1 to drive growth in H2, by improvement in customer experience and by the first effects of synergies from completion of Saldi Privati integration and of a strategic partnership agreed with Steinhoff Group and its subsidiary Conforama, Showroomprivé confirms its revenue targets for 2017.

  • Revenues between €690 million and €720 million (+28% to +33% growth).

The Group now anticipates an EBITDA margin between 5.5% and 6.0% for 2017, excluding Saldi Privati.

Showroomprivé also confirmes its 2020 targets:

  • Revenues of c. €1.1 billion by 2020.
  • EBITDA margin exceeding 7.5%.

1 Excluding Saldi Privati from Jan-May and Beauteprivee

Revenue growth in H1 2017 was driven by both an increase in the number of buyers and by the average revenue per buyer.

The number of buyers in H1 2017 reached 2.2 million, an increase of 9.4% vs. 2016.

Average revenue per buyer continued to significantly increase (+6,4%), to reach €124. This was driven by both an increase in the average number of orders per buyer (+4.4%) and a rise in the average basket size compared with H1 2016, which was €39.6 (+1.8%). These trends demonstrate the attractiveness of the Group's offer and the growing loyalty of its members.

The Group's growth remains underpinned by the mobile segment that now generates 81% of traffic and 60% of net revenue, i.e. 13 points more than the previous year.

1 EBITDA retreated from anticipated marketing investments from H2 in H1 (€1.2 million) and storage costs related to firm purchase opportunities grasped in H1 (€1 million)

EBITDA for the first six months reached €10.9 million. Excluding the impact of Saldi Privati's acquisition, whose performance was impacted by non-recurring costs related to the ePRICE group's carve-out and the integration on Showroomprivé platform (successfully finalized in early June), EBITDA reached €13 million.

EBITDA excluding Saldi Privati was punctually impacted by marketing investments anticipated from H2 in H1 (+€1.2 million), and by storage costs (+ € 1 million) related to firm purchase opportunities grasped in H1 in order to prepare for the year-end (€ 42 million increase in firm purchases compared to H1 2016).

Retreated of these items, EBITDA excluding Saldi Privati reached €15.2 million, a margin of 5.3%.

Profitability in France reached 6.8% in H1 2017. Excluding storage costs related to firm purchase opportunities, and anticipation of marketing expenses from H2 in H1, it was 7.4%, in line with H1 2016.

International operations amounted to a loss of €6.2 million, due to Saldi Privati (€-2.1 million due to the costs associated with the integration of Saldi Privati) and the increase in international marketing expenses.

Current operating profit          13.4     6.7    -50.2%

Gross margin went up by 20% to reach €114.4 million, representing 37.4% of net revenues, a level similar to the one recorded in H2 2016.

The decline since H1 2016 (39.7%) is explained by the consolidation of Saldi Privati (40bps impact) and the reallocation from the second half of 2016 of a portion of marketing expenses to initiatives promoting conversion such as the Infinity program, the single basket, and some price investments.

Operating costs were up 110bps, rising from 34.1% to 35.2% of revenue due to changes in scope, storage costs linked to firm purchase opportunities taken to drive growth in the second half of the year and higher marketing expenses. :

  • Marketing expenses rose from 3.5% to 4.0% of revenue due to the increase in international marketing expenses, media investments initially planned in the second half of the year being brought forward to the first half (impact of €1.2 million) and scope effects (impact of €1.3 million).
  • Expenses linked to logistics and fulfilment followed the group's growth and remained stable as a percentage of revenue compared with H1 2016 (23.3% vs. 23.1%), despite additional storage costs (€1 million) linked to firm purchase opportunities taken in H1.
  • Finally, general and administrative costs increased as a percentage of revenue from 7.4% to 8.0% due to changes in scope linked to the acquisitions of Saldi Privati and Beauté Privée. Excluding the impact of changes in scope, these amounted to 7.5% of revenue.

Other operating income and expenses (€5.2 million) can be broken down as follows:

  • €2.8 million in non-recurrent charges corresponding mostly to the integration of Saldi Privati, to internal reorganization costs and to litigations and fees
  • €2.4 million in costs linked to the free share allocation mainly at the time of the Group's initial public offering at the end of 2015.

The Group's tax charge fell by 68% to €0.7 million.

As a result, net income, Group share was -€0.2 million. Excluding the impact of the acquisition of Saldi Privati, it rose to €3.6 million versus €0.7 million in H1 2016.

1Cash flow from operating activities after capex and before tax restated from non-recurring operating items (€2.8 million linked to non-recurring costs and €42.5 million linked to stock purchasing opportunities grasped in H1 to prepare for H2)

The net change in cash in H1 2017 was -€56 million due to:

  • Cash flow linked to operating activities, structurally negative in the first half of each financial year (and offset in the second half) given the cyclical nature of the Group's business;
  • Firm purchase opportunities seized in the first half to drive the growth at the end of the year (increase of €42 billion of firm purchases compared to H1 2016). At 30/06/2017, the group's inventories were very young, as, on this date, 30% had not yet been put on sale and 60% were less than 6 months old.
  • The acquisition of 60% of Beauté Privée for a consideration of €11.4 million.

Cash flows from operating activities amounted to -€56.0 million. Excluding the impact of stock purchasing opportunities from H1, these amounted to -€13.5 million, remaining at a comparable level to H1 2016.

Cash flows from investing activities amounted to -€15.2 million. Excluding the impact of Beauté Privée, these totalled €3.8 million.

Cash flows from investing activities amounted to €15.0 million due to the securing of €15.0 million in bank funding to finance part of the acquisition of Saldi Privati at the end of 2016.

(2) Value-added tax is applied on every sale. The applicable value-added tax rate depends on the country where the

buyer is located.

(3) Accounting adjustments for revenue recognition include: (i) timing differences due to the fact that certain criteria (e.g., delivery) must be fulfilled before recognizing revenue; (ii) the impact of reimbursements granted for cancellations and returns, which are recognised as a reduction of the revenue; and (iii) the effect of presenting certain travel sales on a net basis where the Group acts as an agent.

(4) &abcz;Non-internet revenue and other&abcz; corresponds primarily to revenues generated from offline sales to wholesalers, including offline resales

of returned Internet sales items.
