Q1 FY24 Results : Mytheresa Grows +7% in Net Sales in the First Quarter

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 fiscal year 2024 ended September 30, 2023. The luxury multi-brand digital platform reported solid financial performance for the first quarter FY24, delivering growth and only a small net loss amidst challenging market conditions.

Mytheresa first quarter highlights include a strong double-digit revenue growth in the United States, global Top Customer business growth and the opening of the new state-of-the art distribution center at the airport in Leipzig increasing the speed of shipment globally as one of the main customer benefits.

Michael Kliger, Chief Executive Officer of Mytheresa, said, “We are pleased with our results in a very difficult macro environment. With our positive revenue growth and a small Adj. EBITDA loss, we demonstrated the fundamental strength of our business model compared to peers. As expected we saw a continued slow-down in demand with aspirational customers across all geographies and a high promotional intensity in the market.”

Kliger continued, “We achieved strong double-digit revenue growth in the United States, grew again our business with our global top customers over-proportionally and managed to mitigate significant margin pressures with cost reductions. With our resilient business model and our focus on the high-spending, wardrobe-building customers we will be best positioned to benefit and accelerate when market conditions improve.”

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

• Net sales increase of 12.0% on a constant currency basis (6.8% on an IFRS basis) year-over-year to €187.8 million
• 
  GMV growth of 8.0% on a constant currency basis (3.1% on an IFRS basis) to €204.1 million in Q1 FY24 as compared to €197.9 million in the prior year period
• 
  Gross Profit margin of 42.5%
• 
  Slightly negative Adjusted EBITDA margin of -0.4% as anticipated and fully reflected in the guidance for full FY24

KEY BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

ABOUT NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES AND OPERATING METRICS

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 Other transaction-related, certain legal and other expenses and Share-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-IFRS financial 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 Other transaction-related, certain legal and other expenses and Share-based compensation expense. Adjusted Operating Income Margin is a non-IFRS financial 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 Other transaction-related, certain legal and other expenses and Share-based compensation expense. Adjusted Net Income Margin is a non-IFRS financial measure which is calculated in relation to net sales.
• Net Sales Growth on a constant currency basis is a non-IFRS financial measure that is calculated by translating current period financial data at the prior year average exchange rates applicable to the local currency in which the transactions are denominated, excluding effects from hedge accounting. We use constant currency information to provide us with a picture of underlying business dynamics, excluding currency effect. Constant currency metrics are calculated using the average foreign exchange rates during the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year applicable to the local currency in which the transactions are denominated so as to calculate what our results would have been had exchange rates remained stable from one fiscal year to the next. These calculations do not include the effects of hedge accounting or any other macroeconomic effect such as local currency inflation effects or any price adjustment to compensate local currency inflation or devaluations. Constant currency information is not a measure calculated in accordance with IFRS. While we believe that constant currency information may be useful to investors in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management, our use of constant currency metrics has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under IFRS. Further, other companies, including companies in our industry, may report the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates differently, which may reduce the value of our constant currency information as a comparative measure.

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 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.
