2. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, CONSOLIDATION METHODS, VALUATION METHODS & PRINCIPLES
2.1. The Group
The attached condensed consolidated interim 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 event of the financial year
2.2.1. Repayment of a €35 million line of credit
8 8 In June 2020, CAIDF (Caisse Régionale de Crédit Agricole Mutuel de Paris et d'Île-de-France) granted the Group a €35 million guaranteed loan of which 90% is guaranteed by the state, repayable with final maturity at the discretion of the company up to 2026.
This loan was fully repaid in June 2021.
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, 2020.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021 and related notes were approved by the Board of Directors on July 29, 2021.
The accounting principles adopted for drawing up the consolidated interim condensed financial statements for the period from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021 are identical to those used for presentation of the annual consolidated accounts for the financial year ended December 31, 2020 except for the standards and interpretations adopted by the European Union applicable from January 1, 2021 and described below:
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7 and IFRS 4: "Interest Rate Benchmark Reform" — Phase 2.
These amendments to standards have no material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at June 30, 2021.
Standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the IASB not adopted by the EU or not applied in advance by the Group, as at June 30, 2021
For financial year 2021, the Group did not decide on the early application of any standard, interpretation or amendment. Published standards, interpretations and amendments with mandatory application that may have an impact on the Group's accounts:
- Amendments to IFRS 3 Reference to the Conceptual Framework;
- Amendments to IAS 37 Onerous Contracts—Cost of Fulfilling a Contract;
- Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018–2020;
- Amendments to IFRS 16 Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021;
- Amendments to IAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current;
- Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use;
- Amendments to IAS 1 and Practice Statement 2 Material Accounting Policy Information;
- Amendments to IAS 8 Definition of Accounting Estimates;
- 9 9 Amendments to IAS 12 — Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction.
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, 2020.
2.5. Seasonality
Overall, performance in the 2 nd 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 realizes 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 reconstitutes its stocks and marketing costs incurred during the fourth quarter of the previous year are settled during this period. However, this historic trend could be compromised by the uncertainties over the company's activity due to the health crisis.
2.6. Reconciliation of EBITDA with net income (loss)

4. NOTES TO THE PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT
4.1.Information by customer geographic area
The geographies presented according to the customers' geographic origin cover the following areas:
| France | International |
|---|---|
| France mainland and overseas regions (DOM-TOM) |
Belgium, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Netherlands, Morocco |
As at June 30, 2021, the Group continued to deploy its offer in France and abroad from its single platform based in France or from its subsidiaries based in Italy and in Morocco.
Sales and EBITDA present themselves as follows:
| in K€ | H1 2021 | 13 H1 2020 |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total Consolidated |
France | Internat. | Total Consolidated |

| Total net revenue | 388 272 | 325 268 | 63 004 | 302 733 | 257 137 | 45 597 |
| Growth | 28,3% | 26,5% | 38,2% | 0,2% | 1,7% | -7,1% |
| EBITDA in % of net revenue | 8,5% | 9,4% | 3,9% | 2,3% | 2,8% | -0,1% |
The breakdown of 2020 first-half revenue was restated to take into account the reclassification of the resale of Internet returns on the wholesale market as "other revenueˮ, and of revenue from advertising inserts in mailorder parcels and the sale of certain coupons as "Internet revenue". The impact on the France scope of this restatement is 2.3 million euros.
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 2021, other operating income and expenditure amounted to €1.3 million and essentially includes the following significant non-recurring elements:
| | costs from the abandonment of the draft reporting standards under development |
-€0.6 million |
|---|---|---|
| | tax asset impairment | -€0.4 million |
| | donations | -€0.2 million |
For the first half of 2020, other operating income and expenditure amounted to €3.1 million and essentially includes the following significant non-recurring elements:
| | stop costs for a logistic project that has become non-strategic | -€1.2 million |
|---|---|---|
| | restructuring costs | -€0.9 million |
| | fees and provisions for non-recurring disputes | 14 -€0.9 million |
4.3.Income tax
As at June 30, 2021, 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.
Income tax of -€1.3 million reported in the 2021 interim consolidated financial statements corresponds to:
- the income liability for H1 2021 on the basis of the projected annual rate of -€2.6 million;
- the deferred tax asset recognized at June 30, 2021 corresponding to the estimate of the recognition of the tax loss carryforward which will be used in H2 2021; and
- the -€0.6 million of the CVAE tax paid by French entities.
5. NOTES TO THE BALANCE SHEET
5.1.Goodwill
There were no changes to goodwill in the first half-year of 2021.
As at June 30, 2021, the Group had not identified any sign of impairment likely to call into question the longterm value of its activities and justify the need to test goodwill for impairment. As such, the level of revenues, EBITDA and cash assets is higher than those set out in 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.

6. GROUP EXPOSURE TO FINANCIAL RISKS
6.1.Market Risk
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Group is not exposed to a significant extent to foreign-exchange risk in its operations. The bulk of transactions undertaken by its customers (via Internet) are invoiced or paid in Euros. Most purchases from suppliers are invoiced or paid in Euros.
If the Euro appreciates (or depreciates) against another currency, the value in Euro of items of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses initially recognized in this other currency will decrease (or increase). Hence, fluctuations in the value of the Euro can have an impact on the value in Euro of items of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses not denominated in Euros, even if the value of these items have 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 in the first half-year of 2021, as in 2020.
Interest rate risk
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 in the first half-year of 2021, as in financial year 2020.
Bank loans
The Group is exposed to an interest rate risk in respect of its medium and long-term external financing drawn on the closing date. This is the following financing:
As part of the agreement with its banks in April 2020, the Group renewed its lines of credit in the amount of €62 million. These lines of credit are subject to a variable interest rate. As at June 30, 2021, lines of credit amounted to €61.5 million after repayments during the period.
The impact of a 1-point increase in interest rates applied to short-term rates would have resulted in an annualized impact of €620K on the Group's pre-tax earnings.
6.2.Liquidity risk
To manage the liquidity risk that may arise from the eligibility of financial liabilities, either at their contractual maturity or in advance, the Group applies a prudent financing policy based in particular on the investment of its available excess cash in risk-free financial investments.
6.3.Credit risk
The financial assets which may, by their nature, expose the Group to a credit or counterparty risk concern mainly:
- Customer receivables, trade pre-payments and supplier credits: this risk is monitored on a daily basis through the collection and recovery processes. Furthermore, the high number of individual customers minimize credit concentration risk in respect of trade receivables;
- Financial investments: the Group's policy is to spread its investments over monetary instruments of short-term maturity, in general for a period of less than 1 month, in compliance with the rules on counterparty diversification and quality.
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 significant financial assets past due date and not amortized.
7. RELATED PARTIES
7.1.Related Parties Having Control Over the Group
On June 30, 2021, the SRP Group had not granted any loan or borrowing in favor of members of the Group's Management.

- Net cash of €27.9 million as at 30 June 2021 (€45.2 million excluding IFRS 16 lease liabilities).
1 EBITDA, according to the definition used by the Company, is obtained by deducting from net income: the amortisation of assets recognised following a business combination; amortisation and depreciation of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment; the costs of sharebased payments, including the expense arising from expensing the fair value of bonus shares and stock options granted to employees over the vesting period; other non-recurring operating income or expenses, net cost of debt and other financial income and expenses, and the tax expense for the year.
Outlook and confirmed ambitions for a profitable growth in 2021
- Strengthen our model in the face of a more demanding comparison base in the very short term;
- Capitalise on an enduringly powerful asset: a unique base of approximately 25 million members in total and our ability to convert them into buyers;
- Continue to broaden our brand portfolio whilst maintaining a high level of selectivity;
- Accelerate the development of growth drivers, highly EBITDA generative, such as SRP Media, the new Marketplace and SRP Studio;
- Maintain strict control and continue the optimisation of operating expenses.
3. DETAILED COMMENTS BY INDICATOR TYPE
| Revenues | |
|---|---|
| (€ thousand) | H1 2020 | H1 2021 | Variation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Internet revenues | |||
| France | 252,749 | 322,262 | +27.5% |
| International | 45,433 | 27 62,865 |

| Total Internet revenues | 298,181 | 27 385,127 |

| Other revenues | 4,552 | 3,145 | -30.9% |
| Net revenues | 302,733 | 388,272 | +28.3% |
Net revenues for the first half of 2021 were up by a sharp 28.3% compared with the first half of 2020 at €388.3 million. After a stellar first quarter, the Group managed to deliver double-digit growth (+13.7%) in the second quarter despite a more demanding comparison base, confirming the strong momentum and an offer that matches customers' expectations.
Online sales in France amounted to €322.3 million, up 27.5% over the half-year, driven by the core business of internet sales and thanks to the development of new growth drivers, including a good performance by SRP Media. The sanitary situation obviously had an impact on the ticketing/travel segment, where revenues remained low over the half-year. However, the activity picked up towards the end of the half-year as travel restrictions were gradually lifted. The Group launched its marketplace in the first half. Its contribution to revenues (commissions only) is still marginal, but is expected to increase gradually over the coming half-years.
Internationally, internet revenues grew by 38.4% to €62.9 million, benefiting from an enrichment of the offer and strong revenue generation by Saldi Privati in Italy.
Revenues from other activities (wholesale physical clearance of unsold inventory and online returns) amounted to €3.1 million. This non-strategic and relatively unprofitable revenue stream continues to vary from one quarter to the next, mainly because of one-off clearance operations launched by the Group on the physical market. Recent changes in the sales model have reduced residual volumes needing to be sold through this channel, thanks to better stock management and sale through digital channels.
Over the period, Showroomprivé continued the transition of its model towards dropshipping (up 6 points to 26% of sales), while seizing occasional opportunities for targeted purchases of firm stocks.

GMV totalled €527.7 million, an increase of €83.6 million (+18.8%) compared with the first half of 2020.
28 28 The good momentum in terms of acquiring new members and converting them quickly into new buyers continued in the first half of 2021, with the number of buyers increasing by 9.0%, bringing the buyer base to a cumulative 2.3 million. This performance once again confirms Showroomprivé's ability to attract and convert new customers over the long term.
Similarly, the success of the policy of greater selectivity of the offer and its enrichment, already initiated in 2020 with the signing of new premium partner brands, has resulted in an increase in the average basket size of about €5 year on year to €47.5. The number of orders per buyer also increased by 5.9% over the period, boosting revenue per buyer by 19.5% to €152.7, compared with €127.8 a year earlier.
The acceleration of e-commerce penetration, a consequence of the health crisis, has confirmed its effects in terms of the transformation of new buyers from the previous year into repeat buyers during this half-year.
The Group again achieved a high degree of customer satisfaction and delivery quality during this period, helping strengthen its repeat customer base (NPS4 of 49%, up from 43% in H1 2020).

H1 2021 gross margin increased sharply by €45.2 million to €157.6 million. Gross margin accounted for 40.6% of revenues, versus 37.1% in H1 2020. This 3.5 point increase is in line with that seen in 2020, validating the lasting impact of the strategic decisions taken in previous years, namely:
- strict inventory control and more efficient returns management;
- increase in the online sales gross margin due to greater business selectivity, the quality of the offers proposed and a transition of the purchasing model towards dropshipping;
- ramp-up of high value-added growth drivers, in particular SRP Media;
- controlled level of low-margin wholesales.
This record gross margin performance for the first half came on a 3.5 point reduction in operating expenses to 34.2% of revenues, compared with 37.7% a year earlier, despite a logic increase in absolute terms in line with strong revenue growth.
The Group continues to manage its operating expenses rigorously in order to maintain high operating profitability:
- marketing expenditure maintained at a level close to that of the first half of 2020 at 2.8% of revenues, with targeted opportunities to acquire new customers. The good customer acquisition performance in H1 2021 is reflected in a good acquisition rate;
- reduction in the weight of logistic expenses to 22.3% of revenues (down 2.8 points), notably in the absence of additional costs in 2020 related to transport in a tense health climate. The Group is reaping the rewards of the streamlining of its logistic chain (storage warehouses and subcontractors). The transition of the model to dropshipping has also reduced the flow of orders through the Group's logistic networks and in turn the associated costs. In addition, the ramp-up of the new automated warehouse allows the absorption of new volumes with associated economies of scale;
- 0.9 point reduction in general and administrative expenses as a share of revenues thanks to control over the payroll and tightly managed hiring in line with specific needs to support business growth.
5 EBITDA, according to the definition used by the Company, is obtained by deducting from net income: the amortisation of assets recognised following a business combination; amortisation and depreciation of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment; the costs of share-based payments, including the expense arising from expensing the fair value of bonus shares and stock options granted to employees over the vesting period; other non-recurring operating income or expenses, net cost of debt and other financial income and expenses, and the tax expense for the year
In this context, the Group achieved a performance in line with that recorded in the second half of 2020, with EBITDA for the first half of 2021 reaching €33.0 million, confirming the effectiveness of strategic initiatives on the Group's profitability.
After depreciation, amortisation and provisions, operating income before cost of share-based payments and other operating income and expenses amounted to €25 million, compared with a loss of €1.6 million for the same period in 2020.
| Net income/(loss) | |||
|---|---|---|---|

| Operating income before cost of share-based payments and other operating income and expenses |
-1.6 | 25.0 | +26.6 |
| Other operating income and expenses | -3.7 | -2.7 | +1.0 |

| Net income/(loss) | -6.6 | 30 20.6 |
+27.2 |
Other operating income and expenses (€2.7 million net expense) comprise sundry non-recurring expenses totalling €1.3 million (disputes, fees, impairments, etc.) and €1.4 million in costs of share-based payments.
Financial expenses remained under control at €0.4 million and the Group recorded a tax charge of €1.3 million.
As a result, the Group's net profit was €20.6 million, an improvement of more than €27.2 million compared with H1 2020.
| Cash flow items | ||
|---|---|---|

| Cash flows related to operating activities | 31.3 | 23.1 |
| Cash flows related to investment activities | -4.8 | -6.6 |
| Cash flows related to financing activities | 42.8 | -38.5 |
| Net change in cash and cash equivalents | 69.3 | -22.0 |
Cash flow from operating activities was €23.1 million in H1 2021, with cash flow of €29.8 million. Working Capital increased over the period with the seizing of targeted firm stock opportunities linked to the health situation.
These cash flows largely financed the net cash outflows on capital expenditure, mainly in R&D, inherent to the Group's activity, amounting to €6.6 million over the period. As such, the Group generated a positive free cash flow6 of €16.5 million in the first half of 2021, strengthening its net cash position.
In light of this strong operating performance and the strengthening of its financial structure, the Group decided to repay the full amount of its €35 million state-guaranteed loan in June 2021. Cash flows related to financing activities totalled €38.5 million, including €0.6 million in interest payments.

Shareholders' equity stood at €198.1 million at 30 June 2021.
As at 30 June 2021, The Group has a solid gross cash and cash equivalents of €108.8 million. The repayment of the state-guaranteed loan in the first half reduced gross financial debt to €81 million as at 30 June 2021, 92% of which due in more than one year. Showroomprivé accordingly has a positive net cash position of €27.9 million.
31 31 Net financial debt included €17.3 million in lease liabilities (under IFRS 16) as at 30 June 2021. Without this accounting item, the net cash position would be €45.2 million.
The Group, which is continuing to reduce its debt, is in a sound financial position, enabling it to tackle the next stages of its roadmap with ambition and serenity.
4. MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS SINCE JUNE 30, 2021
None
5. MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES FOR THE SECOND SEMESTER 2021
Risks and uncertainties for the second half of 2021 are of the same nature as those described in section 3 of the 2020 Universal Registration Document filed with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers on April 29, 2021.
6. MAIN RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS
The Company's Board of Directors was not notified of any planned related parties transactions in the first half of 2021.
7. OUTLOOK
This excellent first half confirms the Group's profitable growth trajectory and sets the stage for a strong year in 2021.
The Group is anticipating a slowdown in its business momentum in the third quarter, which could see a temporary change in trend based on a very demanding comparison base which could be amplified by the catchup of orders between June and July in 2020 (cut-off effect) and a momentarily lower level of stock available in certain "non-fashion" segments, such as household appliances and electronics impacted by the shortage of electronic components. A return to a normalized level of the stock is expected once production and delivery capacities are fully restored.
With an offer regularly enriched and in complete harmony with the expectations of its target customer base, Showroomprivé remains perfectly positioned to take advantage of a favourable underlying trend linked to the growing and irreversible penetration of e-commerce in consumer habits. The Group accordingly intends to continue to actively pursue its development beyond the next quarter by leveraging:
the power of its platform sustained by a strong membership base;
- continued action to attract and lock in major brands, particularly in the online businesses, in order to increase market share whilst controlling gross margin;
- the transition of the purchasing model towards dropshipping;
- continued development of its growth drivers, such as SRP Media, the new Marketplace, SRP Studio and a recovery in the Ticketing and Travel segment;
- strict control and continuous optimisation of operating expenses. The Group will focus on managing inventory, continued streamlining of logistics and the further ramp-up of the new automated logistics warehouse.

D/ STATUTORY AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT ON THE HALF-YEARLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
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 halfyearly management report. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional standards applicable in France.

Statutory Auditors' Review Report on the Half-yearly Financial Information
For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2021
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, 2021,
- the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.
Due to the global crisis related to the Covid-19 pandemic, the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements have been prepared and reviewed under specific conditions. Indeed, this crisis and the exceptional measures taken in the context of the state of sanitary emergency have had numerous consequences for companies, particularly on their operations and their financing, and have led to greater uncertainties on their future prospects. Those measures, such as travel restrictions and remote working, have also had an impact on the companies' internal organization and the performance of our review procedures.
These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. 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 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.
