Mytheresa Announces Preliminary Third Quarter 2023 Results, Revises Outlook for Full Fiscal Year 2023 as Macro Headwinds Persist but Continues to Deliver Profitable Growth

MUNICH--()--MYT Netherlands Parent B.V. (NYSE: MYTE) (“Mytheresa” or the “Company”), the parent company of Mytheresa Group GmbH, today announced preliminary unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended March 31, 2023, and updated outlook for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, as macro headwinds persist and continue to affect consumer sentiment. The company also announced the date for the release of its third quarter fiscal year 2023 ended March 31, 2023 financial results.

Mytheresa’s previous outlook, from February 2023, pointed to the lower end of the given range for top and bottom line. As the fiscal year unfolds, significant uncertainty persists regarding the multi-faceted challenges in the macro environment and their impact on the company, including recent concerns over the financial sector, persistent inflationary pressures and increased promotional intensity by other players putting pressure on gross margins.

PRELIMINARY THIRD QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2023 RESULTS

  • Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) in the range of €218-221 million
  • Net Sales in the range of €196-199 million
  • Gross Profit in the range of €89-92 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of €2-4 million

UPDATED BUSINESS OUTLOOK

For the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, the company now expects:

  • Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) growth of 13% to 15%, to €845-860 million
  • Net Sales growth of 9% to 11%, to €750-765 million
  • Gross Profit growth of 7% to 9%, to €380-386 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of €34-43 million with an Adjusted EBITDA margin between 4.5% and 5.5%.

Michael Kliger, Chief Executive Officer of Mytheresa, said, “Despite the near-term headwinds that we regard as transitory, we remain confident in our strategy and mid and long-term goals. We will deliver profitable growth for the full fiscal year 2023 regardless of persisting macro headwinds and increasing promotional intensity in some geographies. This speaks to our unique positioning and resilient business model.”

(1) Other transaction-related, certain legal and other expenses represent (i) professional fees, including advisory and accounting fees, related to potential transactions, (ii) certain legal expenses incurred outside the ordinary course of our business and (iii) other non-recurring expenses incurred in connection with the costs of establishing our new central warehouse in Leipzig, Germany.

(2) Certain key management members and supervisory board members have been granted share-based compensation for which the share-based compensation expense will be recognized upon defined vesting schedules in the future periods. Our methodology to adjust for share-based compensation and subsequently calculate Adjusted EBITDA includes both share-based compensation expenses connected to the IPO and share-based compensation expenses recognized in connection with grants under the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI) for the Mytheresa Group key management members and share-based compensation expenses due to Supervisory Board Members Plans. We do not consider share-based compensation expenses to be indicative of our core operating performance. For further information about how we calculate these measures and limitations of its use including a reconciliation of amounts under our former methodology to our current methodology, see page 28 of our Q2 quarterly report.

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.
