RECORD SEMESTER IN THE MIDST OF UNCERTAINTY

Disclaimer

IFRS-16

One year after the first adoption of IFRS 16, the transitional phase during which Unieuro's financial reporting was based on adjusted data and in continuity with the previous accounting standard IAS 17 and the interpretations thereof has ended.

From the quarter under review, in line with practices that were gradually established among retailers listed on international markets, the Company will therefore comment only on the economic figures after the application of the above accounting standard, focusing on Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted Net Profit.

On the other hand, net debt and cash flow will still not include the notional component linked to the application of IFRS 16.

Highlights – Key Messages

Business resilience to Covid-19 and effective contingency actions driving to unexpected record-breaking H1 2020/21 results

Good performance of revenues in September and October. Limited impact so far from the second wave of pandemic

Ready to tackle any scenario by leveraging on our rapid response ability and omnichannel strategy

Agenda

  • Highlights
  • Market and Business Performance
  • Financials
  • Going Forward

Market Scenario: Channel Mix Impacted by Covid-19

Growth: strong increase in Q2 fully offsetting fall in Q1

  • Offline: driven down by lockdown and social distancing rules in Q1, especially hard on Tech Superstores
  • Online: extraordinary growth mitigating brick-and-mortar sales decrease

Competitive Scenario: Mass Merchandisers (incl. pure players) +20% and Electrical Specialists +10% benefitting from the emergency context. Tech Superstore (-1%) recovering in Q2

Internet penetration: approx. 26% in H1 2020/21, +10 p.p. yoy

Unieuro: online success and offline recovery in Q2 enabling the Company to overperform again the consumer market

Grey goods: strong increase for IT products (+37%), supported by underlying consumption trends (i.e. smart working, e-learning), arising from the need to connect and communicate during a long forced isolation as well as "new normal"

White goods: recovery in Q2 after a negative Q1 (-11%).:

  • MDA, whose purchase is more frequently linked to in-store experience, suffering lockdown
  • SDA (+12.8%) boosted by domestic food preparation and household cleaning (especially high-end vacuum cleaners)

Brown goods: strong decrease in TV sales, also because of sport events cancellation, despite impressing online performance

Unieuro(1): buoyant online performance in all product categories despite competitive pressure from pure players. Positive effect from the prompt release of omnichannel services.

Notes: Unieuro H1 ends on 31 August. Source: Company elaborations on Gfk data. (1) Unieuro's growth per product category and single channel only concerns the Consumer segment net of Services, Entertainment and products outside the scope of consumer electronics, while including Travel sales.

Facing Restrictions Through New Omnichannel Services

An innovative omni- channel project to face current and structural changes in consumer habits

  • Covid crisis and "new normal" leading to a quick evolution of customer needs and behaviour
  • Disruption to be managed rethinking the customer experience
  • 5 new services, all free
  • 4 services – aTUperTU, CIAOfila, AUTOritiro and CLICCA&ritira – already in place and aimed at feeling safer and saving time
  • Remote advise via videocall currently available for some products and brand (i.e. Samsung, Dyson)

Personalized in-store one-to-one advise, to be booked in advance through Unieuro's digital plaform

  • March and April (epidemic peak in Italy): sales -30% yoy
  • − restrictions imposed by Authorities
  • − 16 days of voluntary shutdown of the entire DOS network
  • − forced switch to e-commerce and changes in consumer habits

From May to August (start of "Phase 2"): sales recovery

  • − quiet summer bringing a gradual recovery of store traffic to pre-Covid levels

Like-for-like sales: +3.9%

  • − +6.5% excluding from the scope the stores adjacent to newly opened stores, and therefore not included in the like-for-like computation
  • − strong underlying consumer trends supporting IT (smart working, e-learning) and SDA (house cleaning, food preparation)

  • Online experiencing an extraordinary growth, supported by:
    • − changes in consumer behaviour
    • − Unieuro strong online presence (Unieuro.it and Monclick)
  • Indirect channel reversing the Q1 trend and growing faster than the market :
    • − small dimension and local focus helping during lockdown
    • − benefitting from proximity and service trends
  • B2B only marginally impacted by epidemics
  • Travel strongly hit by Covid-19 effect on airports
  • H1 2020/21 Sales by Category1 Grey pushed by consumer trends emerging from pandemic:
  • − communication, e-work and e-learning
  • White recovering after weak Q1, thanks to:
    • − full store reopening and gradual traffic increase
    • − home cleaning and food preparation needs
  • Brown suffering the most, also because of sport events cancellation

Notes: Consolidated results. Unieuro H1 ends on 31 August. Data in millions of Euro, unless otherwise stated. See Glossary for definitions.

Note therefore that the classification of revenues by category is revised periodically in order to guarantee the comparability of Group data with market data.

Profitability

Adj. EBIT

  • Covid-19 impact, compensated by non-replicable benefits of undertaken actions
  • Gross Profit down by 0.9 p.p. (+1 p.p. in Q2) extraordinarily hit worsened channel and category mix
  • Effective cost control measures, boosting profitability:
  • Personnel costs savings mainly granted by social safety nets activated (ca. 8 €m). Incidence on sales down from 8.5% to 7%
  • Marketing costs down from 2.4% to 1.8% of sales, benefitting from the temporary shift from paper to digital fliers
  • Significant increase in Logistics costs (from 2.9% to 3.5%) due to booming home deliveries, both from Piacenza central hub and direct stores
  • Other costs savings (incidence from 3.5% to 2.6%) reflecting extraordinary cut in renting costs (8.6 €m) as well as lower maintenance and utility costs. Digital payment fees up
  • D&A slight increase, reflecting long-term capex trend and devaluation of physical assets in view of the relocation of Forlì HQ

Financial Overview

Net Working Capital

  • Impressive reversal of free cash flow performance: from seasonal absorption of 22.7 €m in 19/20 to generation of 28.5 €m in 20/21
  • …leading to a positive Net financial position (56.1 €m vs. negative 49.5 €m as of 31 August 2019), even higher than Net cash recorded on 29 Feb. 2020 (29.6 €m)
  • Main drivers:

6.5

  • Strong operating profitability
  • Net Working Capital still expanding, also thanks to structural benefits from stock level optimization (-61.5 €m vs. 31 August 2019)
  • Total capex more than halved:
  • o restart of store network expansion and upgrade
  • o new ERP project in progress
  • o no acquisitions nor extraordinary capex
  • Significant cash and short-term credit facilities available

Notes and Glossary

All data contained in this presentation are consolidated, thus including the Parent Company Unieuro S.p.A. and the wholly-owned subsidiaries Monclick S.r.l. and Carini Retail S.r.l..

Economic and financial figures reflect the adoption of IFRS 16 accounting principle, unless otherwise indicated.

Growth of like-for-like Revenues is calculated by including: (i) Retail and Travel stores in operation for at least one full Fiscal Year at the end of the reference period, after taking into account stores affected by discontinued operations in a significant manner (e.g. temporary closures and major refurbishments) and (ii) the entire online channel.

Adjusted EBIT is EBIT adjusted for: (i) non-recurring expenses/(income), (ii) non-recurring depreciation, amortisation and write-downs, and (iii) the impact from the adjustment of revenues for extended warranty services net of related estimated future costs to provide the assistance service, as a result of the change in the business model for directly managed assistance services.

Adjusted Net Income is calculated as Net Income adjusted for (i) the adjustments incorporated in the Adjusted EBIT, (ii) the adjustments of the non-recurring financial expenses/(income) and (iii) the theoretical tax impact of these adjustments.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flow generated/absorbed by operating activities net of investment activities inclusive of financial expenses and lease flows and adjusted for non-recurring investments and other non-recurring operating flows and including adjustments for non-recurring expenses (income) and their non-cash component and the related tax impact.

Net debt (cash), or Net financial position, is financial debt – not including Lease liabilities (IFRS 16) – net of cash and cash equivalents.
