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.

Therefore, in line with practices that were gradually established among retailers listed on international markets, from 1 st March 2020 the Company has been commenting 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 do not include the notional component linked to the application of IFRS 16.

Sales

Strong performance in a gradual post-Covid normalisation context

  • 9M 2021/22 sales benefiting from several favourable trends::
  • − Direct store network no longer affected by restrictions
  • − Favourable consumer trends still underway in November
  • − TV-set and decoder sales boom, boosted by frequency switchoff and «Bonus TV» introduction
  • − 10 new DOS opened, only one closed
  • − Another successful Black Friday campaign, finally involving the whole month of November

Like-for-like sales growth: +12%

  • − Strong rebound for Retail, in 9M 2020/21 impacted by volountary closures, lockdowns and restrictions to shopping malls
  • − Online +16.4% in Q3, fully benefitting from new unieuro.it ecommerce platform
  • Company perimeter positively impacted by new openings only
  • No acquisitions since 2019

Another Successful "Black November"

Sales further improving vs. November 2020, when – despite restrictions in place – CE retail benefited from the favorable consumption trends triggered by the pandemic

  • Duration of the promotional campaign (1° November to 2 December) in line with the length of last year's "Change Black Friday" (3 November to 3 December) and finally evolved into a structural «Black November»
  • Theme: «Manà Manà Black Friday», based on a historical and captivating tune, capable of attracting the consumer's attention and staying impressed
  • The campaign: a succession of baskets of highly discounted products, which gradually evolved and expanded in the run-up to the Grand Finale, plus a few one-off promotions that did not necessarily coincide with the typical November sales occasions (Singles' Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday)
  • Direct channel: sales up double digit:
  • − Retail lo longer hit by restrictions
  • − Online favoured by the launch of brand new unieuro.it platform
  • Indirect Channel down, after extraordinary benefits from the closure of shopping malls in holidays and pre-holidays,.last year
  • Categories: all main ones performing well on the direct channel, although Grey was hit by a lower demand for IT products compared to the exceptional levels of 2020.
  • Product availability: no significant impact from the lack of component and raw material, which is impacting many industries at global level and caused a shortage of a very limited number of products sold by Unieuro

"Over ten years after its arrival in Italy and having caused quite a lot of disruption in consumption trends, we can say at last the Black Friday has sunk in and is now second nature to the industry dynamics and to all retailers' sales strategies.

Giancarlo Nicosanti Monterastelli, CEO of Unieuro

Sales per category (1) – 9M 2021/22

  • Retail in sustained growth: 9M 2020/21 strongly impacted by the pandemic, transition to direct channel of 18 Unieuro by Iper shop-in-shops from 2H 2020/21, 10 new openings and renovation of 8 stores
  • Online recovery in the quarter, offsetting the planned drop in H1, thanks to the new unieuro.it platform and the success of the Black Friday campaign
  • Indirect channel down in the quarter, penalized by the comparison with an exceptionally strong Q3 20/21 and the shift to the Retail channel of Unieuro by Iper shop-in-shops
  • B2B penalized by limited availability of products
  • Travel gradually recovering, quarter after quarter, in line with the recovery of traffic at stations and airports
  • Grey still buoyed by pandemic-related consumer trends, but slowed in Q3 in light of tablet and computer sales suffering from a strong comparison base. Selective product shortages in smartphones
  • White up, including double-digit increases in dryers and refrigerators, coffee machines, vacuum cleaners, personal care and air fryers during Black November
  • Brown further accelerated in Q3 vs. H1 thanks to start of "switch-off" (October 15) and introduction of TV Bonus
  • Other products slowing in Q3 in light of extraordinarily strong Q3 2020/21, which had benefited from PlayStation 5 launch and Mobility Bonus
  • Services: positive performance in continuity with H1, supported by warranty extensions and D&I sales

Notes: Consolidated results. Unieuro H1 ends on 31 August. Data in millions of Euro, unless otherwise stated. (1) The segmentation of sales by product category takes place on the basis of the classification adopted by the main sector experts.

  • Personnel Costs +26,3 €m, incidence up from 6,5% to 6,9% as a result of extraordinary savings in H1 2020/21 related to furloughs, and other personnel related initiatives and the transition to direct management of Unieuro by Iper shop-in-shops
  • Marketing Costs +5,7 €m, stable at 2% of revenues. Restarting of promotional campaigns and increased investment on the internet, radio and TV
  • Logistic cost stable (+0,6 €m), down from 3,3% to 2,9% of revenues in the light of the rebalancing of the channel mix and the following reduction in home deliveries
  • Other costs +23,2 €m, impact from 2,9% to 3,6%: extraordinary reduction in rentals in H1 2020/21, higher variable rentals, payment commissions, operating costs (utilities, store maintenance) and consultancies (IT, new projects)
  • Depreciation and amortization slightly increasing (+1,5 €m), but marking a decline as a percentage of revenues from 3.6% to 3.3%

Notes: Consolidated results. Unieuro 9M period ends on 30 November. Data in millions of Euro, unless otherwise stated. See Glossary for definitions.

On 20 December 2021, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the quarterly financial reporting policy, according with - starting from such a date - the impact of direct taxes will be excluded from the calculation of economic and financial figures in the interim management reports for the first quarter and the first nine months of the fiscal year. The decision aims to fully reflect any effects on the Company's accounts of the Budget Laws, in light of the timing of approval with respect to the date of approval of Unieuro's nine-month results (January of each year).

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 Profit Before Taxes is calculated as Profit Before Taxes adjusted for (i) the adjustments incorporated in the Adjusted EBIT and (ii) the adjustments of the nonrecurring financial expenses/(income)

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.
