Q3, FY 2021 Results: Mytheresa Reports Exceptional Net Sales Growth of 47.5% in Q3, FY 2021 Benefiting From the Accelerated Shift in Consumer Behavior Towards Digital and Increases Full Year Guidance

MUNICH--(Business Wire / Korea Newswire)--MYT Netherlands Parent B.V. (NYSE: MYTE) (“Mytheresa” or the “Company”), the parent company of Mytheresa Group GmbH, today announced financial results for its third quarter of FY 2021 ended March 31, 2021. The luxury online fashion business continued to benefit from the shift in consumer shopping behavior towards digital offerings, which shaped the strong results of the third quarter. Even taking into account the lower comparables of Q3 in FY2020 the accelerated growth is evidenced by the two-year growth rate of 66% versus the two-year growth rate of 60% for the second quarter of FY 2021.

Michael Kliger, Chief Executive Officer of Mytheresa, said: “In the third quarter, our company was even able to accelerate our growth. This was largely driven by the continuous shift of consumer behavior towards digital and multi-brand offerings. We had a new record in first-time buyers in the quarter and our recently acquired customer cohorts show higher re-purchase rates than before. Additionally, we are seeing a strongly increased spend from our top customers as they begin to resume pre-pandemic activities such as social events and vacation. We grew strongly in almost all geographies, especially in the US, where we saw net sales growth of over 76%.”

Kliger continued, “Even when we adjust for the relatively low comparables of the third quarter in 2020 it is very clear that our positioning as a curated, multi-brand luxury platform gives us both strategically and financially a fantastic position to capitalize both on the short-term as well long-term growth opportunities in the market. Our success continues to be based on a sharp luxury customer focus, strong brand partnerships and an execution-driven and profit-making business model. The extraordinary results of the third quarter demonstrate our strong position as the leading curated platform for luxury fashion. Accordingly, we have raised our guidance for the full fiscal year 2021.”

ABOUT NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

We review a number of operating and financial metrics, including the following business and non-IFRS metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. We present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted Net Income because they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Further, we believe these measures are helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results, because they exclude the impact of items that are outside the control of management or not reflective of our ongoing operations and performance. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted Net Income have limitations, because they exclude certain types of expenses. Furthermore, other companies in our industry may calculate similarly titled measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. We use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted Net Income as supplemental information only. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider it appropriate for supplemental analysis.

Our non-IFRS financial measures include:

· Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure that we calculate as net income before finance expense (net), taxes, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude U.S. sales tax expenditures temporarily borne by us through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, IPO preparation and transaction costs and share-based compensation expenses.
· Adjusted Operating Income is a non-IFRS financial measure that we calculate as operating income, adjusted to exclude U.S. sales tax expenditures temporarily borne by us through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, any IPO preparation and transaction costs and share-based compensation expenses.
· Adjusted Net Income is a non-IFRS financial measure that we calculate as net income, adjusted to exclude U.S. sales tax expenditures temporarily borne by us, finance expenses on our Shareholder Loans, IPO preparation and transaction costs, share-based compensation expenses and related income tax effects.

· We are not able to forecast net income (loss) on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect net income (loss), including, but not limited to, Income taxes and Interest expense.
