MYT Netherlands Parent B.V. (NYSE: MYTE) (“Mytheresa” or the “Company”), the parent company of Mytheresa Group GmbH, today announced financial results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2023 ended September 30, 2022. The luxury multi-brand digital platform delivered strong results in the first quarter of accelerated top-line growth with continued profitability. This demonstrates the fundamental strength and consistency of a truly differentiated business with a unique customer focus, a highly adaptive business model and outstanding operational excellence.

 

Michael Kliger, Chief Executive Officer of Mytheresa, said, “Our acceleration in GMV growth during the quarter over the previous quarters in 2022 sets us apart from other digital platforms and the sole focus on the high-end luxury sector, both in terms of customers as well as brands, makes us foremost a luxury business and not just a digital business. We believe that our results demonstrate the fundamental strength, resilience and consistency of our business, which has always delivered profitable growth. With our unique customer focus, a highly adaptive business model and operational excellence we are very confident to deliver against our communicated targets for full fiscal year 2023, despite ongoing challenges in the macro environment.”

 

Kliger continued, “The Mytheresa business model is well diversified and agile. We achieved growth across all our categories including our recently launched Life category with home and lifestyle products as well as across all geographies. We achieved again an above average GMV growth in the US where we continue to win clients due to our unique edit and the many ‘money can’t buy experiences’ for our top customers. We also achieved very good growth in Mainland China, where we grow our local teams and invest into activations under our new local leadership.”

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

• Increase of 90 basis points in Gross Profit margin to 49.9% compared to 49.0% in the prior year period, driven by an increase in sales from CPM which generates 100% gross margin with no cost of sales as well as our full price selling model

ABOUT NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES AND OPERATING METRICS

 

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, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as well as Adjusted Operating Income Margin and Adjusted Net Income Margin 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. We use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income as well as Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Operating Income Margin and Adjusted Net Income Margin 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 IPO preparation and transaction costs, Other transaction-related, certain legal and other expenses and IPO-related share-based compensation expenses. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-IFRS measure which is calculated in relation to net sales.
• Adjusted Operating Income is a non-IFRS financial measure that we calculate as operating income, adjusted to exclude IPO preparation and transaction costs, Other transaction-related, certain legal and other expenses and IPO-related share-based compensation expenses. Adjusted Operating Income Margin is a non-IFRS measure which is calculated in relation to net sales.
• Adjusted Net Income is a non-IFRS financial measure that we calculate as net income, adjusted to exclude finance expenses on our Shareholder Loans, IPO preparation and transaction costs, Other transaction-related, certain legal and other expenses, IPO-related share-based compensation expenses and related income tax effects. Adjusted Net Income Margin is a non-IFRS measure which is calculated in relation to net sales.

 

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 and, as a result, are unable to provide a reconciliation to forecasted Adjusted EBITDA.

 

Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) is an operative measure and means the total Euro value of orders processed. GMV is inclusive of merchandise value, shipping and duty. It is net of returns, value added taxes, applicable sales taxes and cancellations. GMV does not represent revenue earned by us. We use GMV as an indicator for the usage of our platform that is not influenced by the mix of direct sales and commission sales. The indicators we use to monitor usage of our platform include, among others, active customers, total orders shipped and GMV.
