DOUBLE-DIGIT GROWTH IN A SCENARIO UNDER NORMALISATION

H1 2021/22 Results 12 November 2021

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.

Market Scenario

Trend: strong growth vs. 1H 2020/21, which was deeply impacted by Covid

  • Offline: recovery of turnover, one year ago hit by lockdown and social distancing measures
  • Online: decline in Q1 caused by the important counter-figures in 2020, more than offset by lively growth in Q2.

Competitive scenario: strong rebound for the turnover of Tech Superstores, Specialists and Electrical Specialists, the most penalized last year. Mass Merchandisers (including pure players) however positive: + 7.8%

E-commerce penetration: 23% in H1 2021/22, -3 p.p. yoy

Unieuro: overperforming the market thanks to the strength of the Offline channel, which offset the expected decline in the Online also linked to customer experience improvement initiatives

Grey: increase mainly driven by the performance of the Telecom sector (+19.5%), with Smartphones paving the way. Slight decline in the IT sector (-0.3%) caused by the contraction in the offer of products such as laptops and desk PC

White: increase in all segments. In particular, significant growth in the home comfort sector, driven by air treatment products (+21%) thanks to the activation of the Eco Bonus

Brown: strong growth in the consumer sector determined by the strong demand for TVs in Q2 (+45.9%), in light of sporting events, the introduction of TV Bonus and the imminent switch-off

Unieuro: excellent offline performance of the brand in the Grey and Brown categories, leading to a substantial acquisition of market share. Expected decrease in online, especially in less profitable Grey category, while improving Unieuro.it's coverage of the high-margin segments of White (MDA and home comfort), where there is a general overperformance compared to the market.

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.

Sales

New record in turnover in a context of gradual post-Covid normalisation

  • Strong half-year revenue growth:
    • − Physical network at full capacity (forced closures on weekends in shopping centers and retail parks ended from 23 May)
    • − Favourable consumer trends still underway
    • − Boom in sales of tv-sets in the imminence of the frequency switch-off and thanks to the sporting events of the summer

Like-for-like Sales growth: +14.1%

  • − Strong rebound in the Retail Channel, impacted in Q1 2020/21 by the voluntary closure of stores and lockdowns
  • − Online down after strongly overperforming the market in H1 2020/21
  • Company perimeter essentially unchanged in the last two years
  • No significant impact from problems in global production chains caused by electronic components and raw materials shortage

Sales Breakdown

Sales per category (1) – H1 2021/22

  • Retail in sustained growth:
    • H1 2020/21 heavily impacted by the pandemic
    • internalisation of 18 Unieuro by Iper shop-in-shops starting from 2H 2020/21
    • new openings and refurbishments carried out on the direct network
  • Online down compared to the extraordinary results of H1 2020/21, during which the pandemic had led customers to favor e-commerce at the expense of physical stores
  • Indirect Channel in strong growth also thanks to the new openings and despite the shift of the Unieuro by Iper shop-in-shops to the Retail channel
  • B2B confirmed itself as an opportunistic and volatile business segment
  • Travel gradually recovering, quarter after quarter, in parallel with the recovery of traffic at airports and railway stations
  • Grey still driven by consumption trends linked to communication, smart working and remote learning to the advantage of telephony, wearables and tablets. PC segment slowing down
  • White growing thanks to products related to home care and the contribution of the Passione Casa promotional campaign, not proposed last year. Good performance for vacuum cleaners and coffee machines
  • Brown in strong acceleration, at first thanks to the restart of sporting events and from the end of August with the introduction of the TV Bonus, aimed at facilitating consumers in view of the switch-off of frequencies, which officially started on October 15
  • Other products on the rise, driven by electric mobility and the entertainment segment (consoles and video games)
  • Services: positive trend supported by warranty extensions, delivery and transport

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

Profitability

  • Gross Margin at 22.1%, up vs. 21,5% in H1 2020/21 mainly thanks to a better channel mix
  • Personnel costs up 29.2%, incidence from 7.0% to 7.7%:
    • extraordinary savings in H1 2020/21 related inter alia to the activation of social safety nets
    • internalisation of Unieuro by Iper shop-in-shops
  • Marketing costs 22.4%, incidence stable at 1.8% of sales. Promotional campaigns resumed after being suspended in Q1 2020/21. Greater adv spending on internet, radio and TV
  • Logistics costs slightly down (-1,4%), incidence down from 3.5% to 2.9% of sales in light of the rebalancing of the channel mix and the consequently lower home deliveries
  • Other Costs up 52.4%, incidence from 2.9% to 3.8%:
    • extraordinary reduction in rental costs last year
    • higher variable fees
    • higher payment fees
    • increase in operating costs (utilities, shop maintenance) and IT consultancy
  • D&A substantially in line with H1 2020/21
  • Taxes benefitting from the tax realignment of goodwill

  • FCF main drivers:
    • Strong operating profitability
    • Acceleration of Capex

Agenda

  • Highlights
  • H1 2021/22 Results
    • Market Scenario and Sales Performance
    • Financials
  • Going Forward
    • Renewed Focus on New Openings
    • Launch of a Buyback

Renewed Focus on New Openings

10 new DOS openings in 9 months (March-November), accelerating the internal growth strategy in spite of bolt-on acquisitions

Strategic Rationale

  • Boosting organic expansion in a context of relatively more expensive external growth
  • Reinforcing Unieuro's footprint in interesting territories (Milan and Naples areas, Sicily) avoiding overlaps
  • Covering top commercial locations previously exploited by other players, at a sustainable cost

Capital Allocation: Launch of a Buyback on 600,000 Shares

  • 1. Strong cash position (Net Cash expected in the 145-155 €m range at the end of FY 2021/22)
  • 2. Future need for shares to serve the LTIP 2020-25, as an alternative to the free issue of new shares
  • 3. Current undervaluation of Unieuro stock, according to Sell-side analysts' target price1 :

Buyback approved by the BoD on 11 November 2021:

  • Amount: up to 600,000 shares (2.9% of the share capital subscribed and paid up as of today), equal to the number of shares needed to serve the Long Term Incentive Plan 2020-2025 in the case of target performance
  • Price not exceeding Euro 26.40 per share, determined on the basis of the closing price of the Unieuro stock on 11 November 2021 (equal to Euro 21.10) plus a 25%
  • Maximum cash-out: 15.8 €m
  • Starting date: 15 November 2021
  • Time limit: 18 months from the date of the AGM which approved the authorisation to purchase and dispose of treasury shares (i.e. June 2022)
  • Purpose: setting up a portfolio of treasury shares to:
    • serve both existing and future equity incentive plans
    • facilitate extraordinary transactions, including paper deals

Strategic Rationale

  • Smart use of cash, generating a positive effect on Earnings and Dividends Per Share
  • Buying own shares at a favourable price1
  • Avoiding a future dilution of Shareholders, when the LTIP 2020-25 gets vested

Closing Remarks

CE Retail market still strong, positively reacting to Post-Covid normalization

Good sales performance for Unieuro in September and October, across all channels

"Manà Manà Black Friday" campaign currently on track, not influenced by a lower-than-in-the-past visibility on the supply chain

FY 2021/22 guidance confirmed

  • Revenues between 2.9 and 2.8 €bn
  • Adj. EBIT ranging between 65 and 75 €m
  • Adj. Free Cash Flow ranging between 40 and 50 €m

Notes and Glossary

All data contained in this press release are consolidated data. The scope of consolidation includes the Parent Company Unieuro S.p.A., the wholly-owned subsidiary Monclick S.r.l. (consolidated from 1 June 2017) and the wholly-owned subsidiary Carini Retail S.r.l. (consolidated from 1 March 2019 and finally merged into Unieuro S.p.A., effective as from 1 September 2020).

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.

Net Promoter Score (NPS) measures customer experience and predicts business growth. It can range from -100 (if every customer is a Detractor) to 100 (if every customer is a Promoter.
