Key Risks

This section sets out some of the key risks associated with any investment in Temple & Webster, together with risks relating to participating in the Placement which may affect the value of securities in Temple & Webster

  • The risks are not set out in order of importance and do not constitute an exhaustive list of all risks involved with an investment in Temple & Webster

  • Before investing in Temple & Webster, you should carefully consider the risk factors and your personal circumstances. Potential investors should consider publicly available information on Temple & Webster (such as that available on the ASX website) and consult their stockbroker, solicitor or accountant before making an investment decision

  • In light of COVID-19 extra caution should be taken when assessing the risks of an investment given the significant market volatility

  • Nothing in this Presentation constitutes financial product advice and this document has been prepared without taking into account your investment objectives or personal

  • circumstances

COVID-19

Events related to the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) have resulted in significant market volatility. There is continued uncertainty as to ongoing and future response of governments and authorities globally as well as a likelihood of an Australian economic recession of unknown duration or severity. As such, the full impact of COVID-19 to consumer behaviour, suppliers, employees and the Company are not fully known. Given this, the impact of COVID-19 could potentially be materially adverse to the Company’s financial and operational performance. Further, any government or industry measures may adversely affect Temple & Webster operations and are likely beyond the control of Temple & Webster. In compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations, Temple & Webster will continue to update the market in regard to any material impact of COVID-19 on Temple & Webster business.

Market Conditions

The price at which Temple & Webster shares are quoted on ASX may increase or decrease due to a number of factors outside of Temple & Webster’s control. The events relating to COVID-19 have recently resulted in a decline in general economic conditions together with significant volatility to the market including the prices of shares trading on the ASX. These factors may cause the shares to trade at prices above or below the price at which the shares were initially acquired. There is no assurance that the price of the shares will increase when they are quoted on the ASX. Recent strength in Temple & Webster’s share price may not be sustained.

COVID-19 Supply Chain Impact

There remains a risk that the spread of COVID-19 has an adverse impact on Temple & Webster’s supply chain. This could occur if the ability to transport products between countries is disrupted, Temple & Webster’s key suppliers are negatively affected or Temple & Webster is otherwise unable to efficiently distribute products to customers. In the event that the supply chain of Temple & Webster is disrupted, this may have a material adverse effect on Temple & Webster’s operating performance and earnings.

Page 18

==> picture [720 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

Key Risks

Performance and reliability of websites, databases, operating systems

Temple & Webster’s financial and operational performance could be adversely affected by a system failure that causes disruption to its websites, or to third party suppliers of its systems and products. This could directly damage the reputation and brand of the relevant platform and could reduce visitors to the affected website and directly influence sales to customers. Temple & Webster’s websites, databases and systems are all hosted on platforms provided by third party providers. Temple & Webster is subject to the disaster planning contingencies of those third party providers to deal with events that are beyond the control of those parties such as earthquakes, floods, fires, power grid issues, telecommunication and network failures, terrorist attacks, cyber attacks, computer viruses and other similar events. A material failure in the systems of a third party provider is likely to have a material impact on the systems and operations of Temple & Webster’s platforms. While Temple & Webster mitigates such risk through insurance, this may not be sufficient to avoid customer disenchantment or reputational damage which in turn may adversely affect Temple & Webster’s financial performance.

Continued growth of retail ecommerce in general and growth in demand may be affected by economic factors

While the B2C retail ecommerce market and the online market for furniture and homewares have been growing there is no guarantee this will continue into the future. Temple & Webster is subject to factors outside its current control including Australia’s outlook for economic growth, cash rate, taxation, unemployment rate, consumer sentiment, global economic outlook, foreign economic shocks and building activity. One or more of these factors could cause a slowing or contraction in the forecasted growth in the market and industry. As a result, Temple & Webster may not be able to meet its business objectives which would adversely affect Temple & Webster’s financial and operational performance.

New and existing competitors could adversely affect prices and demand and decrease Temple & Webster’s market share

The furniture and homewares segment is highly fragmented. Competition can arise from a number of sources including traditional offline retailers, including multi-channel, mono-channel, multi-branded retailers, and online-only ecommerce competitors. Existing online competitors may strengthen through funding or industry consolidation, or through financial or operational advantages which allow them to compete aggressively on pricing. Competition may also come from third-party suppliers establishing their own online presence as opposed to utilising Temple & Webster’s platform. As a result, this may increase the costs of customer acquisition and lower margins due to pricing pressure. Temple & Webster’s market share in the furniture and homewares segment may decline if competitors increase their focus on growing online sales through investment in the retail ecommerce market.

Page 19

==> picture [720 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

Key Risks

Future growth may place significant demands on management and its infrastructure

Temple & Webster aims to continue its revenue growth, consideration of future acquisitions, potential offshore expansion and a consideration of a traditional offline offering such as retail showrooms. The Company anticipates that this will result in an increased level of responsibility for key management and require the integration of teams and recruitment of staff to support this expected growth. If Temple & Webster is unable to manage the demands placed on key management, it may have a material adverse effect on its financial and operational performance in the future. As Temple & Webster enters an expansionary phase of its development, it will need to continue to upgrade and enhance infrastructure and online platforms to ensure Temple & Webster has sufficient capacity for the forecast growth in its customer base and its product offering. If Temple & Webster is unable to manage the forecast growth and demand, it may have a material adverse effect on its financial and operational performance in the future.

Temple & Webster relies on third party suppliers for its products

Temple & Webster has a large number of suppliers that provide a broad range of products. Its supply agreements are on a case by case basis, with the majority of relationships informal and terminable at will. Temple & Webster has some formal contracts but a number are short-term and with foreign suppliers and have no guarantees associated with renewal on like terms. The deterioration of Temple & Webster’s relationships with these suppliers or inability of these suppliers to renew informal or contractual agreements may have a material adverse effect on Temple & Webster’s financial and operational performance in the future.

Third party suppliers may also have a “stock out” with insufficient quantities of products available in a timely manner, or encounter financial or material difficulties, labour shortages or unilaterally amend their terms of agreement with Temple & Webster’s competitors. These factors may impact the Company and may have an indirect adverse effect on the customer or a customer order, which in turn may also have a material adverse effect on Temple & Webster’s financial and operational performance.

Accounting standards

Australian Accounting Standards are issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and are not within the control of Temple & Webster or its Directors. Any changes to the accounting standards or to the interpretation of those standards may have an adverse effect on the financial performance of Temple & Webster.

Page 20

==> picture [720 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

Key Risks

Unauthorised use of intellectual property or independent development of technology

Substantial parts of Temple & Webster’s online platforms, distribution software, applications, data analytics and customer databases are seen as proprietary information. Unauthorised parties may obtain or copy, or seek to imitate, all or portions of this intellectual property or independently develop technology that is similar and may be in breach of proprietary rights. In this instance, Temple & Webster may seek legal actions to remedy the breach of proprietary information. This may incur legal or other fees and if unsuccessful may have a material adverse effect on Temple & Webster’s financial and operational performance in the future. Actions taken by Temple & Webster to protect its intellectual property may not be adequate, complete or enforceable and may not prevent the misappropriation of its intellectual property and proprietary information or deter independent development of similar technologies by others.

Expansion into new jurisdictions, products and markets may not be successful

Temple & Webster has a history of expanding its product categories and entering new verticals. Temple & Webster will continue to seek to expand its business by expanding the breadth of products offered and/or by offering new services, markets or sales categories to its customers. Temple & Webster may be unable to expand its business in these ways in a cost-effective or timely manner. Furthermore, any such expansion of Temple & Webster’s business that is not favourably received by consumers could damage Temple & Webster’s reputation and brands.

Any such expansion of Temple & Webster’s business or strategies could require additional investment, together with operations and resources, which could strain Temple & Webster’s management, financial and operational resources. The lack of market acceptance of such efforts or Temple & Webster’s inability to generate satisfactory revenue from expanded products or services to offset their costs could have a material adverse effect on Temple & Webster’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, Temple & Webster will likely have to compete in new jurisdictions, markets and sales categories with companies already operating in the relevant market, which may understand the market better than Temple & Webster. Unsuccessful attempts at expansion into new jurisdictions, markets and sales categories could damage Temple & Webster’s reputation, incur significant unanticipated costs and as a result could have a material adverse effect on Temple & Webster’s financial and operational performance.

Integration of acquisitions

Temple & Webster may consider acquisitions where it believes they are supportive of Temple & Webster’s growth strategy. There are a number of difficulties associated with acquisitions, including but not limited to the integration of financial, operational and managerial resources. If the assets or businesses are not successfully integrated, this may have a material adverse effect on Temple & Webster’s financial and operational performance.

In addition, while Temple & Webster will conduct due diligence on proposed acquisitions, there is no assurance that an acquisition will perform as forecast once fully integrated, or successfully achieve the desired objectives, including, where applicable, any synergies.

Page 21

==> picture [720 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

Key Risks

Laws and regulations may change

Temple & Webster is subject to, and must comply with, a variety of laws and regulations in the ordinary course of its business. These laws and regulations include those that relate to fair trading and consumer protection, product safety, employment, property, taxation (including goods and services taxes and stamp duty) and customs and tariffs. Failure to comply with, or changes to, laws and regulations may adversely affect Temple & Webster, including by increasing its costs either directly or indirectly (including by increasing the cost to the Business of complying with legal requirements). Any such adverse effect may impact Temple & Webster’s future financial performance. In particular, there is a risk that laws or regulations may be introduced that restrict Temple & Webster’s use of its customer database and customers’ personal information and/or otherwise restricts its interactions with consumers, sales tactics and marketing campaign efforts. Such changes could impact the normal operations of Temple & Webster and reduce Temple & Webster’s ability to generate revenue which may have an adverse effect on Temple & Webster’s financial and operational performance in the future. Changes to government or regulatory policies could also have an impact on economic and retail market conditions and Temple & Webster’s operations. Depending on the nature of any such changes, it may adversely impact the operations or future financial performance of Temple & Webster.

Insolvency

In the event of any liquidation or winding up of Temple & Webster, the claims of Temple & Webster’s secured and unsecured creditors will rank ahead of those of its shareholders. Under such circumstances, Temple & Webster will first repay or discharge all claims of its creditors. Any surplus assets will then be distributed to shareholders. All shareholders will rank equally in their claim and will be entitled to an equal share per share. If there is a shortfall of funds on a winding up of Temple & Webster, shareholders will lose all or some of their investment.

Changes in GST and other equivalent taxes

Changes in local indirect tax, such as the GST, and duty treatment of any of the markets in which Temple & Webster operates, could have an impact on the sales of imported brands. Given that many of the products sold by Temple & Webster are discretionary goods, and that the customers for such products tend to be price sensitive, the imposition of GST (or equivalent taxes) on the sale of imported goods at lower than current value thresholds in any of the jurisdictions in which Temple & Webster operates could reduce the attractiveness of Temple & Webster’s products and have a material adverse effect on Temple & Webster’s financial condition and financial results.

Page 22

==> picture [720 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

Key Risks

Political, economic or social instability

Temple & Webster’s suppliers and service providers are also subject to various risks which could limit their ability to provide Temple & Webster with sufficient, or any, products or services. Some of these risks include raw material costs, inflation, labour disputes, union activities, boycotts, financial liquidity, product merchantability, safety issues, natural disasters, disruption in exports, trade restrictions, currency fluctuations and general economic and political conditions.

In addition, as a consequence of the fact that Temple & Webster sources a proportion of its products and services from foreign providers, Temple & Webster is exposed to risks including political instability (including as a result of pandemics such as COVID19), increased security requirements for foreign goods, costs and delays in international shipping arrangements, imposition of taxes and other charges as well as restrictions on imports, exchange rate and hedging risks. Temple & Webster is also exposed to risks related to labour practices, environmental matters, disruptions to production and ability to supply, and other issues in the foreign jurisdictions where suppliers and service providers operate. Any of these risks, individually or collectively, could materially adversely affect Temple & Webster’s financial and operational performance.

In addition, there is also a risk that parties with whom Temple & Webster has dealings (including, but not limited to, its suppliers and service providers) may experience financial or other difficulties (including adverse impacts as a result of COVID-19) which may in turn affect their ability to perform their obligations to Temple & Webster.

Key Management Personnel

Temple & Webster relies on the expertise, experience and strategic direction provided by its Key Management Personnel. Temple & Webster’s success depends to a significant extent on its Key Management Personnel, in particular Mark Coulter, and the rest of Temple & Webster’s management team. These individuals have extensive experience in, and knowledge of, Temple & Webster’s business. Additionally, successful operation of Temple & Webster’s business depends on its ability to attract and retain quality employees. Competition could increase the demand for, and cost of hiring, quality employees. Temple & Webster’s ability to meet its labour needs while controlling costs associated with hiring and training employees is subject to external factors such as unemployment rates, prevailing wage legislation and changing demographics. Temple & Webster’s financial and operational performance could be materially adversely affected if it cannot attract and/or retain employees or Key Management Personnel .

Page 23

==> picture [720 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

Key Risks

Sell-down by existing shareholders

There is always the possibility that existing substantial shareholders (including directors) may seek to sell-down their shareholdings in Temple & Webster. A significant sale of shares or a perception that a sell-down may occur could adversely affect the price of Temple & Webster shares.

Other risks

The list of risks highlighted here should not be taken as a complete list of risks associated with an investment in Temple & Webster. The risks outlined above and other risks not specifically referred to may in the future materially adversely affect the value of Temple & Webster shares and their performance. Accordingly, no assurance or guarantee of future performance or profitability is given by Temple & Webster in respect of Temple & Webster shares. .

  • a director or the chief executive officer or chief financial officer of Temple & Webster resigns or indicates that he or she does not intend to be a director or executive (as applicable) of Temple & Webster, for any reason other than incapacity;

  • an insolvency event (or similar) occurs in respect of Temple & Webster or its subsidiaries.

In addition, the following termination events will depend on whether the relevant event has had, or is likely to have, a material adverse effect on the outcome or success of the Placement, the likely price at which the New Shares will trade on ASX, the ability of the Lead Manager to settle the Placement, or the willingness of investors to subscribe for New Shares, or where the event gives rise, or is likely to give rise, to a liability of the Lead Manager:

  • proceedings are commenced or announced seeking an injunction or other order in relation to Temple & Webster’s ability to agree to and complete the Placement;

  • Temple & Webster is or becomes in default of any of the terms and conditions of the Placement Agreement or a representation or warranty given by it is or becomes false or incorrect;

  • any forward-looking statement made in connection with the Placement is or becomes incapable of being met or, in the reasonable opinion of the Lead Manager, unlikely to be met in the projected timeframe;

  • Temple & Webster commits a breach of law or fails to comply with its continuous disclosure obligations or its Constitution;

  • legal or regulatory proceedings are commenced against Temple & Webster;

  • Temple & Webster issues a statement that is misleading or deceptive;

  • a new circumstance arises which is a matter adverse to investors in New Shares and which would have been required by the Corporations Act to be included in Temple & Webster’s disclosures in connection with the Placement had the new circumstance arisen before the disclosure was made;

  • any adverse change occurs in the condition (financial or otherwise), assets, earnings, business, affairs, liabilities, financial position or performance, results of operations, profits, losses or prospects of Temple & Webster;

  • any adverse change or disruption occurs to the existing financial markets, political or economic conditions of Australia, the United States, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, any member country of the European Union, China, Singapore or New Zealand;

  • there is an outbreak or escalation of hostilities in any part of the world, whether war has been declared or not, or an act or acts of terrorism, involving any one or more of Australia, the United States, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, any member country of the European Union, China, Singapore or New Zealand;

  • a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in Australia, the United States, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, any member country of the European Union, China, Singapore or New Zealand is declared by the relevant central banking authority in any of those countries, or there is a material disruption in commercial banking or security settlement or clearance services in any of those countries; and

  • trading of securities quoted on ASX, the London Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Beijing Stock Exchange or the Shanghai Stock Exchange is suspended, or there is a material limitation in trading, for more than one business day on which the exchange is open for trading.

If the Lead Manger terminates the Placement Agreement, it will not be obliged to perform any of its obligations that remain to be performed. Termination of the Placement Agreement could have an adverse impact on the amount of proceeds raised under the Placement. In these circumstances, Temple & Webster would need to utilise alternative funding options to achieve its objectives as described in this document.

InternationalOfferRestrictions

This document does not constitute an offer of New Shares in any jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful. In particular, this document may not be distributed to any person, and the New Shares may not be offered or sold, in any country outside Australia except to the extent permitted below.

Canada (British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec provinces)

This document constitutes an offering of New Shares only in the Provinces of British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec (the "Provinces"), only to persons to whom New Shares may be lawfully distributed in the Provinces, and only by persons permitted to sell such securities. This document is not, and under no circumstances is to be construed as, an advertisement or a public offering of securities in the Provinces. This document may only be distributed in the Provinces to persons that are "accredited investors" within the meaning of NI 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

No securities commission or similar authority in the Provinces has reviewed or in any way passed upon this document, the merits of the New Shares or the offering of New Shares and any representation to the contrary is an offence.

No prospectus has been, or will be, filed in the Provinces with respect to the offering of New Shares or the resale of such securities. Any person in the Provinces lawfully participating in the offer will not receive the information, legal rights or protections that would be afforded had a prospectus been filed and receipted by the securities regulator in the applicable Province. Furthermore, any resale of the New Shares in the Provinces must be made in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws which may require resales to be made in accordance with exemptions from dealer registration and prospectus requirements. These resale restrictions may in some circumstances apply to resales of the New Shares outside Canada and, as a result, Canadian purchasers should seek legal advice prior to any resale of the New Shares.

The Company as well as its directors and officers may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for purchasers to effect service of process within Canada upon the Company or its directors or officers. All or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and such persons may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment against the Company or such persons in Canada or to enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against the Company or such persons outside Canada.

Any financial information contained in this document has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Unless stated otherwise, all dollar amounts contained in this document are in Australian dollars.

Statutory rights of action for damages and rescission

Securities legislation in certain of the Provinces may provide purchasers with, in addition to any other rights they may have at law, rights of rescission or to damages, or both, when an offering memorandum that is delivered to purchasers contains a misrepresentation. These rights and remedies must be exercised within prescribed time limits and are subject to the defenses contained in applicable securities legislation. Prospective purchasers should refer to the applicable provisions of the securities legislation of their respective Province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.

The following is a summary of the statutory rights of rescission or to damages, or both, available to purchasers in Ontario. In Ontario, every purchaser of the New Shares purchased pursuant to this document (other than (a) a "Canadian financial institution" or a "Schedule III bank" (each as defined in NI 45-106), (b) the Business Development Bank of Canada or (c) a subsidiary of any person referred to in (a) or (b) above, if the person owns all the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by the directors of that subsidiary) shall have a statutory right of action for damages and/or rescission against the Company if this document or any amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation. If a purchaser elects to exercise the right of action for rescission, the purchaser will have no right of action for damages against the Company. This right of action for rescission or damages is in addition to and without derogation from any other right the purchaser may have at law. In particular, Section 130.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that, if this document contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser who purchases the New Shares during the period of distribution shall be deemed to have relied on the misrepresentation if it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase and has a right of action for damages or, alternatively, may elect to exercise a right of rescission against the Company, provided that (a) the Company will not be liable if it proves that the purchaser purchased the New Shares with knowledge of the misrepresentation; (b) in an action for damages, the Company is not liable for all or any portion of the damages that the Company proves does not represent the depreciation in value of the New Shares as a result of the misrepresentation relied upon; and (c) in no case shall the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the New Shares were offered.

Section 138 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that no action shall be commenced to enforce these rights more than (a) in the case of any action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action or (b) in the case of any action, other than an action for rescission, the earlier of (i) 180 days after the purchaser first had knowledge of the fact giving rise to the cause of action or (ii) three years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action. These rights are in addition to and not in derogation from any other right the purchaser may have.

Certain Canadian income tax considerations. Prospective purchasers of the New Shares should consult their own tax adviser with respect to any taxes payable in connection with the acquisition, holding or disposition of the New Shares as any discussion of taxation related matters in this document is not a comprehensive description and there are a number of substantive Canadian tax compliance requirements for investors in the Provinces.
