The change over the period mainly corresponds to exercise of stock options and share base payments. At June 30, 2020, the share capital of SRP Groupe S.A. consisted of 51,201,284 shares with a nominal value of €0.04 each compared to 50,744,030 shares at December 31, 2019.

2. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, CONSOLIDATION METHODS, VALUATION METHODS & PRINCIPLES

2.1. The Group

The attached consolidated interim condensed financial statements show the operations of the company SRP Groupe S.A. (hereafter referred to as "the Company") and its subsidiaries, together with the Group's share in companies over which it exercises a significant influence or joint control (the whole hereafter referred to as "the Group").

The Group's activity is dedicated to private sales of items on the Internet.

2.2. Main events of the financial year

2.2.1. Renewal and extension of the maturity of existing bank debt

Discussions with banking partners resulted in the renewal and extension of the maturity of the Group's bank financing lines, including authorized overdrafts, representing a total financing amount of 62 million euros. This bank debt is now made up of term loans, with progressive semi-annual and quarterly amortization, increasing from 2022 until December 31, 2026.

The Group also retains a bank debt of € 2.8 million redeemable in 2023 with BpiFrance.

The classification as current and non-current liabilities in the balance sheet therefore takes into account the effects of the reconciliation protocol approved on May 28, 2020.

2.2.2. Obtaining a new line of financing up to 35 million euros

The Group has obtained from CAIDF (Caisse Régionale de Crédit Agricole Mutuel de Paris et d'Île-de-France) a loan for 35 million euros guaranteed by the State (PGE) up to 90 % amortizable and with a final maturity at the discretion of the company of up to 2026.

As part of the overall plan, the bank creditors have agreed to waive the application of the commitments relating to compliance with the financial ratios at December 31, 2019, for the year 2020.

As of December 31, 2021, the financing mentioned above is conditional on compliance with a declining financial leverage ratio R2 (net financial debt / EBITDA), ranging from a maximum of 6 exceptionally for the 2021 financial year to 2, 5 for fiscal year 2025.

The ratio R4 designating the ratio between the consolidated net financial debt and the consolidated shareholders' equity must strictly remain less than 1.

2.2.3. Capital increase and commitments of the founding directors

On July 16, the Group announced the launch of the capital increase with maintenance of preferential subscription rights announced on April 30, 2020 when the financing agreement was concluded with its banking partners. This capital increase, with a maximum issue amount of 10 million euros, is open to all shareholders. This capital increase will be supported by the founding directors, Thierry Petit and David Dayan. The latter have undertaken to subscribe to the capital transaction on an irreducible basis up to their quota and for an additional amount on a reducible basis sized so as to reach 75% of the envisaged issue.

2.2.4. Merger of SRP PROD into the accounts of Showroomprive.com

The subsidiary SRP Prod was dissolved and the subject of a universal transfer of assets in the entity Showroomprivé.com by decision of February 6, 2020 with an effective date of May 29, 2020.

2.2.5. Covid 19

Since the start of the health crisis and the restrictive measures, Showroomprivé has continued its activities, while taking the necessary measures to protect the health of its employees and their families. The Group constantly adapts its system and its workforce to its activity, using partial unemployment if necessary.

All activities (including internet and media) were impacted over the fortnight following the implementation of containment, in particular given the disruptions and necessary adjustments to the supply chain. The Group's activity remains closely linked to delivery and supply conditions in the countries where the Group operates. Return deadlines have been extended to allow Showroomprivé buyers to continue to benefit from their purchasing conditions, which will make their management more complex throughout the semester or even in the second semester if the state of health emergency is extended.

However, since April 2020, the group has observed a significant rebound in its sales, up significantly compared to April 2019 and above the business plan. The group benefits in particular from a favorable context for ecommerce but is also starting to reap the benefits of its actions to strengthen its relationships with brands, illustrated by the signing of new partnerships with large groups with a large catalog of brands.

2.3. Accounting standards

Statement of compliance and IFRS used

The consolidated interim condensed financial statements were drawn up in compliance with the international financial reporting standard IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting." They do not include all the information required by the IFRS standard for establishment of complete annual financial statements and must be read together with the Group's financial statements for the financial year ended on December 31, 2019.

The consolidated interim condensed financial statements for the periods from January 1, 2020 to 30 June 2020 and related notes were approved by the Board of Directors on 24 July 2020.

The accounting principles adopted for drawing up the consolidated interim condensed financial statements for the period from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 are identical to those used for presentation of the annual consolidated accounts for the financial year ended on December 31, 2019 except for new standards applicable from January 1, 2020 onwards.

New Standards, amendments and interpretations applicable and whose applications are mandatory or which may be applied in advance for financial years starting as from January 2020

The standards and amendments to IFRS, applicable for the first half of 2020, have had no impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020

● Amendments to IAS 1 and to IAS 8 - Modification of the definition of the term "significant", applicable to financial years beginning on or before January 1, 2020.

● Amendments to IFRS 3 - Business combinations: Definition of a business, applicable to fiscal years beginning no later than January 1, 2020;

● Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 - Reform of benchmark interest rates, applicable to fiscal years beginning no later than January 1, 2020.

Application of new standards in advance of their mandatory application date

No standard was applied in advance during the half-year.

Standards published by the IASB but not yet approved by the European Union

The Group could be affected by:

  • Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements: Classification of liabilities as current and noncurrent liabilities, applicable to financial years beginning on or before January 1, 2022.
  • Temporary modification of IFRS 16 Compensation of rents in the context of Covid-19

The analysis of the consequences for the Group of the first application of these standards is in progress. However, the latter should not have a material effect on the Group's financial situations and performances.

2.4. Use of estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the IFRS requires Management to exercise judgements, make estimates and assumptions which may have an impact on the application of accounting methods and on the amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenditure.

These estimates take into account economic data and assumptions that are likely to vary over time and may contain elements of uncertainty. They mainly concern the valuation methods and assumptions used for the purposes of identification of intangible assets in relation to business combinations, monitoring of the Goodwill value, valuation of intangible assets, stock valuation, estimates of provisions and deferred tax assets.

In the context of preparation of the consolidated interim condensed financial statements, the significant assumptions made by Management in order to apply the Group's accounting methods and the main sources of uncertainty relative to estimates are identical to those described in the consolidated financial statements for the financial year closed on December 31, 2019.

2.5. Accounting principles and valuation methods

In the context of preparation of the consolidated interim condensed financial statements, the accounting principles and valuation methods are identical to those described in the consolidated financial statements for the financial year closed on December 31, 2019.

2.6. Seasonality

Performance in the 2nd half-year is better than in the 1st half-year since the seasonality of the activity and demand usually reach a peak in the fourth quarter of the year, before the Christmas period. During this period, the Group usually realises its highest volume of sales and acquires its largest number of new members.

This seasonality has an impact on cash-flow and working capital requirements in the 1st half-year. During the first half-year, the Group pays its suppliers for major conditional sales volumes and reconstitute its stocks and marketing costs incurred during the fourth quarter of the previous year are settled during this period.

However, in view of the exceptional context linked to Covid-19, activity was sustained in particular in the second quarter and the cash generated by operating activities amounted to € 31.3 million in the first half of 2020. This can be explained by mainly by the change in working capital requirement in H1 2020 which is mainly linked to the increase in supplier positions due to the increase in activity in the 2nd quarter.

France International
France mainland and
overseas regions
(DOM-TOM)

EBITDA in % of net revenue 2,3% 2,8% -0,1% -7,7% -7,7% -7,5%

The EBITDA per geographic area is based on an allocation of operating expenses according to turnover related to the area's business activity.

4.2.Other operating income and expenses

For the first half of 2020, other operating income and expenditure amounted to M€ 3,1 and essentially includes the following significant non-recurring elements:

Stop costs for a logistic project that has become non-strategic - 1.2 M€
--- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Restructuring costs - 0.9 M€
Provision for on recurring litigation and fees - 0.9 M€

For the first half of 2019, other operating income and expenditure amounted to M€ 12 and essentially includes the following significant non-recurring elements:

Stop costs for a logistic project that has become non-strategic - 3.6 M€
Restructuring costs - 2.3 M€
Provisions with no impact on the treasury - 5.2 M€
Non recurring litigation and fees - 0.7 M€

4.3.Income Tax

As at June 30, 2020, the income tax is estimated based on the facts known and anticipated at the closing date, using the projected rate method. This method provides a better estimate of the tax expense for the period, by applying the annual projected tax rate to the half-year results.

As at June 30, 2020, no change in deferred tax has been recognized.

The tax of € 0.8 million appearing in the 2020 half-year consolidated accounts corresponds to the CVAE of the French entities.

5. NOTES TO THE BALANCE SHEET

5.1.Goodwill

No change in the goodwill was stated during the first half of 2020.

At the closing date the group did not identify any indicator of a loss of value that would call into question the long-term outlook and valuation of its business activities and justify an impairment test for goodwill and other assets and liabilities. As indicated in note 2.2.5, since April 2020, the group has observed a significant rebound in its sales, which has grown significantly compared to April 2019. The level of turnover, d'EBITDA and cash flow are therefore higher than the business plan.

As a reminder, given its internet sales activity and its organization, the Group has chosen to value its activities in a single cash-generating unit which is SRP Groupe.

The presentation of the debt, short term / long term, was revised on June 30, 2020 and takes into account the effects of the conciliation protocol approved on May 28, 2020.

The main features of these plans and the calculation bases are summarized in the following table:

Depending on the parameters used in determining the fair value, and on the basis of an updated assumption of the turnover rate of beneficiary employees, the expense recognized as "Cost of share based payments" amounts to 606 K€ for the first six months of 2020 (not including flat-rate social security charges).

The total amount to be amortized between 2020 and 2022 in respect of this plan is 39 K€.

5.13. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Net income for the period - part attributable to Group - 6 591 - 41 725
Average number of ordinary shares 50 793 211 51 815 985
Basic earnings per share (in €) - 0,13 - 0,81

Diluted earnings per share

Given the net of loss for the first half of 2020 diluted earnings per share correspond to basic earnings per share.

6. GROUP EXPOSURE TO FINANCIAL RISKS

6.1.Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

The Group is not highly exposed to foreign-exchange risk with respect to its operational activities. The vast majority of transactions undertaken by its customers via the internet is invoiced or paid in Euros. By the same token, most purchases made from suppliers are invoiced and paid in Euros.

If the Euro appreciates (or depreciates) against another currency, the value in Euros of items of assets and liabilities, income and expenditure initially recognized in this other currency will decrease (or increase). Hence, fluctuations in the value of the Euro may have an impact on the Euro value of items of assets and liabilities, income and expenditure not denominated in Euros, even if the value of these items has not changed in the original currency.

A 10% variation in the exchange-rate parity of currencies other than the functional currencies of the subsidiaries would not have a significant impact on the Group's net income of the first half of 2020, as in 2019.

Interest rate risk

Short-term investments

The Group is exposed to an interest rate risk with regard to its short-term investments.

The impact of a fall in interest rate by 1 point applied to short-term rates would have no significant impact on the Group's net income of the first half of 2020, as in 2019.

Bank loans

The Group is exposed to a risk relating to its external loans. These are the following financings:

  • As part of the agreement with its banks in April 2020, the Group renewed financing lines for € 62 million. These lines are remunerated at a variable rate.
  • In June 2020, the Group raised with CADIF (Caisse Régionale de Crédit Agricole Mutuel de Paris et d'Ilede-France) a loan in the amount of 35 million euros guaranteed by the State (PGE) at variable rate.

The impact of a fall in interest rate by 1 point applied to short-term rates would have a negative impact of 0.58 M€ on the Group's income before tax on a full-year basis.

6.2.Liquidity risk

As part of its banking contracts, SRP Groupe S.A. undertakes to respect financial ratios:

  • The first is calculated on the basis of the net financial debt and the restated EBE,
  • The second is calculated on the basis of net financial debt and equity.

Compliance with these clauses is determined at the end of the year.

The memorandum of understanding signed with the banks in April 2020 provides for the suspension of commitments relating to compliance with financial ratios as at December 31, 2019 and for the year 2020.

As of December 31, 2019, the Group had recourse to medium and long-term external financing drawn on the closing date. These were the following financings:

In 2017, the Group raised external debt for 15 million euros for funding the acquisition of Saldi Privati. This bank loan is subject to a variable interest rate;

  • In 2018, the Group also raised variable-rate financing to ensure investments in its future logistics plan. In 2019, the Group drew all of the financing, which now amounts to € 12 million;
  • As of December 31, 2019, the Group had mobilized all of its short-term lines in the amount of € 25 million;
  • The Group took out a € 3 million BPI loan during fiscal year 2019.

As part of its bank financing, SRP Groupe S.A. undertook to comply with certain financial ratios:

  • The first is calculated on the basis of net financial debts and restated EBITDA,
  • The second is calculated on the basis of net financial debts and equity.

As these ratios were not respected as of December 31, 2019, this had led it to reclassify the financial debt (excluding IFRS16) in the short term and initiated discussions with these bank creditors.

The signing on April 29, 2020 of a Conciliation Protocol with its banking partners secures and strengthens the Group's short and medium-term financial structure, its debt now consisting of € 62 million in term or redeemable loans maturing in 2026, as well as than a loan in the amount of 35 million euros concluded on June 3, 2020 with the Caisse de Crédit Agricole Mutuel de Paris et d'Ile-de-France and guaranteed by the State (PGE) in the amount of 90%, with a maturity of up to 2026. The Group also retains a bank debt of € 2.8 million repayable with BpiFrance.

6.3.Credit risk

The financial assets which may, by their nature, expose the Group to a credit or counterparty risk essentially concern:

  • Customer receivables and trade pre-payments: this risk is monitored on a daily basis through the collection and recovery processes. Furthermore, the high number of individual customers minimizes the credit concentration risk relative to customer receivables.
  • Financial investments: the Group's policy is to spread its investments over monetary instruments with short-term maturity, in general for a period of less than 1 month, in compliance with the rules governing diversification and the quality of counterparties.

The book value of financial assets recognized in the financial statements, which is stated after deduction of impairment losses, represents the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk.

The Group does not hold any significant financial assets that are overdue and not amortized.

7. RELATED PARTIES

7.1.Related parties having control over the Group

On June 30, 2020, the SRP Group had not granted any loan or borrowing in favor of members of the Group's Management.

During the first half of 2020, no significant transaction had been carried out with shareholders and members of management bodies.

The remuneration of senior executives is detailed in the table below:

Fixed salaries 224 528
Variable salaries - 225
Cost of share-based payments
Total 224 753

Subsidiaries within the Group's consolidation scope carry out transactions between themselves, which are eliminated for the purpose of the consolidated financial statements

7.2.Other related parties

As part of its normal business, the Group carries out transactions with entities partly owned by some executives of the Group. These transactions, conducted at market prices, essentially relate to the renting of premises in Sables d'Olonne, the head office in Saint-Denis and the head office in Madrid:

2. FIRST HALF HIGHLIGHTS

Against a more favourable backdrop for e-commerce in the second quarter, SRP Group began reaping the rewards of its strategic decisions and 2018-2020 Performance Plan to optimise processes, as economic indicators improved.

Return to growth in Q2 (up 19%), making up for the 20% decline in Q1

  • Strong business momentum since April (consumer shift towards e-commerce), which continued postlockdown
  • Successful revitalisation of the offering (appeal, new brands)
  • Customer loyalty and a proven ability to attract new buyers through controlled investments in marketing

Return to positive first half EBITDA1 at €7 million, vs. a €23 million loss in H1 2019

  • Sharp increase in the gross margin to 37.1% (from 29.4% in H1 2019) thanks to strategic measures (increased selectivity of business, shift away from the firm purchase model towards conditional purchases and dropshipping, improved returns and inventory management) and the change of delivery terms during the confinement period
  • Optimisation of operating expenses, particularly marketing and logistics

First half net loss reduced by nearly €35 million to €6.6 million

Despite €3.7 million in non-recurring expenses (restructuring) and a €0.9 million tax charge

Strengthened financial structure by agreement with banks

  • Shareholders' equity of €146 million, to be strengthened through a c. €10 million capital increase
  • Gross cash and cash equivalents of €118.3 million, with a semester positive free cash flow of €26.5 million

1 EBITDA, as defined by the Company, includes the net income before amortization of intangible assets recognized at the time of business combinations, the amortization of tangible and intangible assets, the non-recurring items, the cost of shares based payments including expenses from the issue of free shares and share options allocated to employees, net financial cost and other financial income and expenses as well as income taxes. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS standards and the definition of the term used by the Group may not be comparable to similar terms used by other companies.

Net borrowings reduced to €3.4 million (including €21.6 million lease liabilities under IFRS 16)

Performance continues to improve

Consistently strong positioning and business assets:

  • 9 th biggest French e-commerce website – base of 10 million members, +1 million new members in H1

Strong growth and profitability drivers identified

  • Continued transition of the purchasing model towards conditional purchases and dropshipping
  • Gradual ramp-up of the SRP Media contribution
  • Development of digital offers (Ticketing/Travel)

Operating expenses under control – Stabilised operational management

3. DETAILED COMMENTARY PER INDICATOR TYPE

Revenues

(€ thousand) H1 2019 H1 2020 Variation
Internet revenues
France 248,888 255,136 +2.5%
International 49,070 45,433 -7,4%
International 297,958 300,568 +0,9%
Total Internet revenues 4,085 2,165 -47,2%
Other revenues 302,043 302,733 +0,2%

H1 2020 net revenues were stable compared to H1 2019 at €302.7 million, with Q2 growth of 19% offsetting the Q1 20% decline. Since April 2020, the Group has enjoyed a strong business recovery which continued postlockdown, partly driven by the consumer shift towards e-commerce. Showroomprivé has been able to capture this momentum in e-commerce through a series of decisive strategic decisions:

  • The roll-out of attractive and updated offerings under the guidance of the new sales management, and the expansion of teams to offer a dynamic sales platform
  • Rapid adaptation of our purchasing and delivery conditions to palliate the constraints of the health crisis.

The Group also posted a high degree of customer satisfaction and delivery quality during this period, helping to strengthen its loyal customer base (NPS2 of 43%, up from 34% in H1 2019).

Online sales in France amounted to €255.1 million, up 2.5%, driven by the core online sales business in Q2 2020 and by the development of growth drivers such as SRP media. However, the health crisis curbed revenues from other non-core businesses by around €6 million.

International revenues fell 7.4% to €45.4 million, mainly resulting from a decrease in Saldi Privati revenues due to greater selectivity of offerings and an impact on the behaviour of local consumers during the health crisis.

Other non-strategic revenues, including non-internet sales, were down 47.2% year-on-year. This decrease is mainly due to a volume effect, as the Group decided to switch from a firm purchasing model to conditional purchases and dropshipping, resulting in fewer products sold through the physical sales channel (wholesale). This strategy aims to clear stock with the purpose of reducing the related logistical costs.

The number of buyers in the first half of the year was more or less stable, with a Q2 rebound of around 7% largely making up for the decline in Q1. This performance is in line with the continued optimisation of acquisition marketing investments.

However, the concentration of marketing efforts helped consolidate the loyal customer base at 1.8 million over the period, in line with measures aimed at boosting engagement, loyalty and brand preference. This base now represents 83% of the total number of buyers and generated 88% of Group revenues.

Furthermore, the brand's consistent appeal has helped the Group strengthen its base of first-time buyers, with around 360k new buyers in H1 2020, while sustaining a healthy average basket value in the order of €130.

Cost structure

*In accordance with AMF recommendations, the amortisation of intangible assets recognised during a business combination is presented under "underlying EBIT", as marketing costs.

H1 2020 gross margin increased sharply by €23.7 million to €112.4 million. Gross margin accounted for 37.1% of revenues, versus 29.4% in H1 2019. This 7.7 percentage point increase breaks down as follows:

  • +3.8 pp from 2019 inventory clearance and more efficient returns management;
  • +3.5 pp from the increase in the gross margin of online sales due to greater business selectivity and the shift away from a firm purchasing model towards conditional purchases and dropshipping. The change in delivery terms during the confinement period contributed 1.2 points;
  • -0.5 pp related to the lack of activity on the travel due to the health situation;
  • +0.7 pp from the ramp-up of SRP Media;
  • +0.3 pp from improved wholesale conditions (fewer inventories from firm purchases).

This positive change in the gross margin vindicates the Group's strategic decisions. These developments were also accompanied by a €5.8 million reduction in operating expenses, (€6.6 million before depreciation and amortisation) in line with the objectives of the Performance plan launched in 2018. This optimisation includes:

  • a significant €4.4 million reduction in marketing expenditure, due to decreased marketing pressure at the beginning of the year and access to attractive advertising rates in the second quarter;
  • a €1.4 million decrease in logistics costs compared to H1 2019. The Group is beginning to reap the rewards of the gradual streamlining of its logistics chain (warehouses and subcontractors). The reduction was curbed by the increase in home deliveries during the lockdown, due to the closure of pick-up points;
  • stable general and administrative expenses. The impact of the savings measures implemented over the past year on payroll are still masked by the recognition of non-recurring expenses of around €2 million in H1.

Finally, the Group returned to positive EBITDA in H1 2020 at €7.0 million, versus EBITDA losses of €23.2 million in H1 2019 and €8.3 million in H2 2019, thereby confirming the trend towards a gradual improvement in profitability.

After depreciation, amortisation and provisions, operating income before cost of share-based payments and other operating income and expenses amounted to €1.6 million loss, nonetheless an improvement on H1 2019.

Net income

Other operating income and expenses (€3.7 million net expense) comprise sundry non-recurring expenses totalling €3.1 million (disputes, fees, impairment loss linked to the discontinuation of a project) and €600,000 in costs of share-based payments.

Financial expenses remained under control at €0,3 million and the Group recorded a tax charge of €0,9 (CVAE business value-added tax).

Accordingly, the Group posted a net loss of €6.6 million, i.e. an improvement of close to €35 million versus H1 2019.

Cash-flow elements

Cash flows related to operating activities -28.7 31.3
Cash flows related to investment
activities
-30.5 -4.8
Cash flows related to financing activities 19.9 42.8
Net change in cash and cash equivalents -39.3 69.3

Cash flow from operating activities rose sharply to €31.3 million, compared to a €28.7 million outflow in H1 2019, because of a significant €27.0 million reduction in working capital requirement, improved operating earnings and a healthy EBITDA cash conversion ratio. The improvement in working capital was the result in particular of a cyclical effect linked to the increase in the vendor line item due to the level of activity in the second half of the year.

These cash flows largely financed net cash outflows on capital expenditure, of an amount of €4.8 million for the period. As such, the Group generated a free cash flow surplus of €26.5 million, all of which was used to strengthen its cash position.

Cash flows from financing activities amounted to €42.8 million, including two new lines of credit granted by CAIDF (Caisse Régionale de Crédit Agricole Mutuel de Paris et d'Île-de-France) comprising a €35 million 90% state-guaranteed PGE loan, under the agreement signed with banking partners on April 29, 2020, and a second loan of €10 million.

Balance sheet

Shareholders' equity stood at €146.1 million at 30 June 2020.

The Group had solid gross cash and cash equivalents of €118.3 million at 30 June 2020. Cash flow generation in the first half helped reduce net financial debt to €3.4 million at 30 June 2020, compared to €29.4 million at 31 December 2019.

Net financial debt includes €21.6 million in lease liabilities (under IFRS 16) at 30 June 2020. Without this accounting item, the Group would have posted positive net cash of €18.2 million.

Most of the gross financial debt is due in more than one year, reflecting the new financing arrangements and extension of maturities obtained from banking partners under the agreement signed in April.

The current capital increase is an integral part of the agreement with the creditors. For a maximum amount of €10 million, guaranteed by the founding directors, this capital increase will strengthen the cash position.

The Group is therefore in a solid financial position that will enable it to embark on the next stages of its road map with confidence.

4. MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS SINCE JUNE 30, 2019

SRP Groupe announced on July 17, 2020 the launch of its capital increase with preferential subscription rights, as announced on 30 April 2020 as part of the conciliation protocol entered into with the Group's banking partners, and authorised by the Bobigny Commercial Court on 28 May 2020.

The capital increase, for a maximum amount of around €10 million, is supported and guaranteed by the founding directors David Dayan and Thierry Petit up to 75%.

On 16 July 2020, the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) approved the Prospectus for this operation under number 20-351, comprising the Universal Registration Document filed with the AMF on 30 April 2020 under number D. 20-0438, an amendment to the Universal Registration Document filed with the AMF on 16 July 2020 under number D. 20-0438-A01, a securities note and a summary (included in the securities note).

This capital increase falls within the scope of the delegation of powers granted by the General Meeting of 8 June 2020 (14th resolution); the details of its terms and characteristics can be found in the securities note.

The proceeds of the share issue, with preferential subscription rights attached (including if the capital increase is limited to 75% of its initial amount) will be used by the Company to finance its and its subsidiaries' general expenses, as part of a strengthening of its financial structure, in line with the roll-out of the conciliation protocol entered into on 29 April 2020.

5. MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES FOR THE SECOND SEMESTER 2018

Risks and uncertainties for the second semester 2020 are of the same nature than those described in Section 3 of the 2019 Universal registration document as modified by the amendment to the 2019 Universal registration document filed on July 16, 2020 with the Financial Markets Authority ("AMF").

6. MAIN RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS

On June 11, 2020, Showroomprivé.com SARL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company SRP Groupe SA (the "Company") concluded a regulated agreement with the company Sonia Rykiel Création Paris SAS ("Sonia Rykiel). The shareholders and officers of Sonia Rykiel are Messrs. Eric and Michaël Dayan, directors and shareholders of the company SRP Groupe.

This is a conditional purchase contract for Sonia Rykiel brand goods. The conclusion of this agreement is justified by the economic and strategic interest represented by the acquisition of this stock of goods from a prestige brand such as Sonia Rykiel with a view to reselling it on the Group's sites and applications.

The main terms and conditions of this agreement are as follows:

  • Conditional purchase with pre-delivery of goods;
  • Brands: Sonia Rykiel, Sonia By and Sonia Rykiel Kids;
  • 2 sales planned on the Group's sites and applications: one on June 14, 2020 and the other at the end of September;
  • Quantities: 15,743 products for the first sale;
  • Products returned by Showroomprive.com customers and unsold products will be returned to Sonia Rykiel Création Paris SAS.

As this is a conditional purchase contract, only Sonia Rykiel products which will be purchased by members of the Group, will be purchased by Showroomprivé.com from Sonia Rykiel. In the event that the entire Sonia Rykiel stock is acquired by Showroomprivé.com, this would represent an estimated amount of one million euros.

The Board of Directors of the Company authorized the conclusion of this agreement during its meeting on June 8, 2020, in accordance with article L. 225-38 of the French Commercial Code.

Messrs Eric and Michaël Dayan, shareholders and officers of Sonia Rykiel, members of the Company's Board of Directors, did not take part in the deliberations and votes relating to this agreement. This agreement will be subject to ratification by the general meeting of shareholders called to approve the accounts for the year ended December 31, 2020.

This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditors' review report on the half-yearly financial information issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking users. This report includes information relating to the specific verification of information given in the Group's half-yearly management report.

Statutory Auditors' Review Report on the Half-yearly Financial Information

For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2020

To the Shareholders of SRP Groupe S.A.,

In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by the General Assembly and in accordance with the requirements of article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code ("Code monétaire et financier"), we hereby report to you on:

  • the review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of SRP Groupe S.A., for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2020,
  • the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.

These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements were established by the responsibility of the Board of Directors on July 24, 2020 based on the information available at that date in the evolving context of the Covid-19 pandemic and related difficulties to apprehend its impacts and outlooks. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.

I. Conclusion on the financial statements

We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 -standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.

II. Specific verification

We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report established on 27 July 2020 on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review. We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.
