COVID-19 continues to impact the world – Health and safety of our employees, customers, partners remain our top priority

7

Westwing warehouses and photo studios continue to operate with highest hygiene standards, social distancing measures, etc.

We take comprehensive safety measures to minimize the risk of a temporary warehouse closure, yet a risk remains

Westwing team vaccination campaign under way to support employee safety

Office teams continue to work mostly from home, and we cautiously review how and when we can partially return to our offices

Topline level shift confirmed, continued growth on top of last year's extraordinary baseline

Global supply chain situation remains challenging; associated profitability and offering risks are limited

Current status

Global cargo disruptions cause increasing freight rates and capacity issues, predictability of capacity and prices is extremely difficult; challenges expected to remain well into 2022

  • Continued raw material price inflation especially on timber, textiles, and foam
  • Severe COVID situation caused a significant lower production capacity in India and subsequent supply shortages

Mitigating measures

Close collaboration with suppliers to ensure availability of our offering to customers (detailed forecasting with supplier, prioritization, early reservation of production capacity)

Cost inflation (container rates and raw materials) mostly mitigated through price increases

Financial impact

  • Gross Margin net impact of supply chain issues and cost inflation is assumed around 1% of revenue for FY 2021
  • Temporarily increased Net Working Capital likely, as we secure stock and ensure supply through pre-payments and inventory buffer
