Half Year Results
Strong GMV growth underpinned by the marketplace channel
MySale Group plc (AIM: MYSL), the leading international online retailer, today announces its unaudited interim results for the six months to 31 December 2021 (H1 FY22).
Kalman Polak, Chief Executive Officer of MySale, commented.
"We have made good operational progress in the last six months as the new management team continues to scale our marketplace platform, delivering GMV growth of 36%, despite reported revenue declining by 6% as a result of the change in channel mix.
"We remain confident in the long term opportunity for the business in Australia and New Zealand, where we have a significant addressable market which we can access by expanding our unique off-price proposition. At the same time, we are being disciplined in the execution of the growth strategy and have implemented several initiatives to support working capital, through careful cost control and by reducing the amount of our own-stock inventory in an orderly manner."

[1] Group cost base is the different between gross profit and underlying EBITDA
2 Underlying EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA adjusted for certain items including impairment losses/reversals related to goodwill and receivables, share-based payments, reorganisation costs, debt forgiveness, one-off cost and unrealised foreign exchange loss/gain. Refer to note 5 for reconciliation to reported loss.
Current Trading and Outlook
Revenues have remained subdued in Q3 due to the prevalence of the Omicron variant in Australia and the knock-on effect to consumer demand. In the ten weeks of trading in H2 FY22, GMV was marginally ahead of prior year, whilst total revenue has continued to be lower as a result of the changing channel mix
In light of these trading conditions, the Group's inventory balances remain higher than anticipated and the subdued consumer demand continues to place pressure on the cash resources of the Group.
In response, the Group has implemented several initiatives to support its working capital and is seeking to be disciplined in the execution of its growth strategy and continue to right size its cost base whilst reducing the amount of own-stock inventory in an orderly manner. The Group has also raised A$2.3m in cash through the issue of Loan Notes, with a view to supporting the Group's balance sheet, to fund ongoing investment in the Group's marketplace platform and for general working capital.

MYSALE's suppliers are offered a suite of inventory solutions to fulfil their demand for inventory management and increase customer awareness of their brands and products.
Executive Chairman's statement
MySale is making operational progress in its strategy, acknowledging current macro and consumer headwinds, following the repositioning of the Group as an Off-Price Curated Retail Platform focused firmly on the ANZ market with a clear and differentiated proposition to suppliers and customers and execution of the ANZ First strategy.
The Group operates across three categories, Fashion, Beauty and Home offering our suppliers direct to customer solutions to complement existing channels. For our customers, our ambition is to be a trusted and exciting daily discovery-based shopping destination for Off-Price Brand Fashion, Beauty and Homewares.
Marketplace
Marketplace GMV grew to A$30.6m (H1 FY21: Nil), which represented 35.3% of Total GMV. We have recruited a high performing team and opened a Melbourne office. During the period we had 362 active marketplace sellers (H1 FY21: 62) with continued positive momentum expected for the rest of the financial year.
Own Stock
In parallel, we continue to scale our higher margin own stock channel which delivered total revenue of A$23.9m (H1 FY20: A$9.5m), representing 27.5% of Total Revenue and it is expected that to remain at 27% by the end of FY22. During the period management took the decision to invest in additional own-buy inventory. However, the subdued demand and delays in stock deliveries prior to Christmas meant that inventory build up to a higher level than expected. As such, the inventory balance at 31 December 2021 was A$6.1m (H1 FY21: A$2.6m). Post period end, management actions have reduced inventory levels to A$5.5m.
Order After Sale
An established channel that provides a low-risk solution to access a supplier's excess inventory. Total revenue declined to A$32.2m (H1 FY21: A$54.3m) representing 37% of total GMV.
We continue to focus on better quality revenue, which has meant being much stricter on which third-party sellers can trade on the platform resulting in a 443-basis point improvement in gross margin to 42.3% (H1 FY21: 37.9%).
COVID lockdowns in Q1 accelerated new customer acquisition and repeat purchases with the transition out of lockdown delivering a lower growth albeit from a higher base. During the period the cost of acquisition3 was $28.31 41.8% below last year (H1 FY21: $48.66) which has continued into H2. This coincides with improvements in ROI in paid marketing with margin ROAS4 being maintained at 1.39 throughout H1 (H1 FY21:1.0) There was an increase in the number of orders and average order value as customers spent across MySale's websites however average order frequency decreased by 15.6% primarily because of the increase in the growth of the marketplace channel.
The fixed cost base was A$8.1m (H1 FY21: A$6.2m) which represented 9.4% of GMV during the period (H1 FY21: 9.7%).
Variable costs decreased to 18.7% of GMV (H1 FY21: 23.9%). Whilst work to right size the Group's cost base continues, this did mitigate the changing channel mix which resulted in a gross profit of A$25.3m (H1 FY21: A$24.2m) and a reduction in Underlying EBITDA to A$1m (H1 FY21: A$2.5m).
During the period, MySale withdrew its proposed listing on the ASX and incurred several additional one-off costs as detailed in note 5 below.
As at 31 December 2022, the Group had a net cash balance of A$3.8m (H1 FY21: A$15.8m). The Group is utilising an invoice financing facility with a third party as part of its mitigating actions to support working capital.
As at 14 March 2022, the Group was operating on a bank debt-free basis, albeit with the inventory financing facility in place with balance of $0.9m. At the same time, the Group's gross and net cash balances were A$1.5m and A$0.6m (after A$0.9m of invoice financing)
ANZ First Strategy
We continue to progress our ANZ First Strategy. During the period 72% of GMV was from our marketplace and Order After Sale channel where we seek to take limited inventory risk and have a negative working capital profile. During the period, we had 1,097 active third-party partners.
Issue of Convertible Loan Notes
Today, the Company announced it has raised A$2.3m in cash through the issue and subscription of convertible loan notes ("Loan Notes") to existing shareholders and new holders, including Carl Jackson (Executive Chair) and Kalman Polak (Chief Executive Officer).
The Loan Notes have a maturity date of 30 April 2025 and are convertible into ordinary shares of the Company at a conversion price of 1.5 pence per ordinary share, at the election of the Loan Note holders, at any time prior to maturity. The Loan Notes may be redeemed by the Group at any time prior to maturity, without penalty. Interest will be payable at a rate of 7% per annum, paid-in-kind in ordinary shares in the Group. The Group has undertaken to exercise reasonable endeavours to procure that appropriate security is granted by OzSale Pty Ltd (or any other members of the Group), over the appropriate assets of the Group in favour of Loan Note holders, as soon as reasonably practicable following the issue of the Loan Notes.
As highlighted in these results and the Group's trading update dated 15 February 2022, the Group has been operating in a difficult trading environment, which has impacted the cash balance of the Group. To ensure that the Group is able to continue to operate as a going concern and advance its ANZ First Strategy, the net proceeds of the Loan Note issue will be used to fund the continued development of the Group's marketplace technology platform and general working capital.
Current Trading and Outlook
Revenues have remained subdued in Q3 due to the prevalence of the Omicron variant in Australia and the knock-on effect to consumer demand levels. In the ten weeks of trading in H2 FY22, GMV was marginally ahead of prior year whilst total revenue continued to be lower as a result of the changing channel mix
In response, the Group is being disciplined and cautious in the execution of its growth strategy and continues to seek to right size its cost base, increasing revenue from its higher margin Order After Sales channel and reducing the amount of own-stock inventory in an orderly manner, by increasing the promotional mark-down activity on the website and reducing the forward stock commitments. As at 14 March 2022, inventory balances have reduced to A$5.5m (H1 FY22: A$6.1m) and are expected to further reduce to A$4.5m by the year end. At the same time, the Group's gross and net cash balances were A$1.5m and A$0.6m (after A$0.9m of invoice financing) (H1 FY22: A$3.8m). In addition to this invoice facility, the Group has obtained further cash resource, having raised A$2.3m in cash through the issue of Loan Notes, with a view to supporting the Group's balance sheet, to fund ongoing investment in the Group's marketplace platform and for general working capital.
The long-term opportunity in the Fashion, Beauty and Home categories are forecast to be of A$13bn* by 2024. Notwithstanding current trading conditions, the Board remains confident about the Group's attractive positioning as an off-price specialist, with a clear proposition built around STARLING, its proprietary technology platform. The ambition remains to be the largest curated off-price marketplace for branded fashion, beauty and home in ANZ taking advantage of the continued strengthening ANZ off-price channel.
MySale has a small IT contract development team based in Saint Petersberg, Russia. The immediate risk is the sanctions on the banks and the ability to action payments. The Group has a business continuity plan in place that will be activated as needed. The Board does not expect this to have a material impact on Group revenue, earnings and cashflow.
The Board remains committed to aligning the Group's ownership structure with its operations in Australia.

Financial review by the Chief Financial Officer
Financial Key Performance Indicators
The Group has continued to make good progress in scaling its marketplace channel, whilst there was a 6.3% decline in statutory revenue, the Gross Merchandise value (GMV)5 increased by 36% compared to prior period last year.
The reason being that products sold through our marketplace have lower gross margins but high contribution to the bottom line as we do not take any inventory risk or operational responsibility. Reported statutory revenue from the sale of these products is significantly lower. As we further scale the marketplace channel this will result in a shift in the proportion of GMV and will result in a decrease in statutory revenue as a percentage of GMV, but an increase in gross margin.

Gross Merchandise value (GMV) | $86.7 | $63.8 | 36.0% | ||
GMV increased by 36% to A$86.7m (H1 FY21: A$63.8m), reflecting progress in scaling the Group's off-price marketplace platform, which is expected to become the Group's largest sales channel. As a result of the changing sales mix and growth of the marketplace channel, statutory revenue declined by 6% to A$59.7m (H1 FY21: A$63.8m)
Gross Margins
Gross profit was A$25.3m (H1 FY21: A$24.2m), with gross margins improving to 42.3%, an increase of 410 basis points (H1 FY21: 37.9%). As we scale the marketplace channel this will result in a shift in the proportion of GMV and will result in a decrease in statutory revenue as a percentage of GMV, but an increase in gross margin.
Operating Expenses6
Whilst it is not a statutory measure under IFRS, given the material shift in sales mix from the growth of marketplace, management considers Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) as key performance indicators for assessing operating expenses of the business.
The Group's fixed cost as percentage of GMV has reduced to 9% (H1 FY21: 10%) and variable costs have reduced to 19% (H1 FY20: 24%). Reduction in variable cost primary came from reduction in warehouse labour from 5.1% of GMV to 2.9% of GMV and marketing efficiency from 7.8% to 7.3%.

As noted above, the Group manages its operations by looking at the underlying EBITDA which excludes the impact of several one-off and non-cash items of a non-trading nature. This, in the Board's opinion, provides a more representative measure of the Group's performance.

Unrealised foreign exchange loss relates to the revaluation of foreign currency balance sheet items at period end. The significant balance in the prior period is attributed to the Australian dollar, the Group's functional and presentation currency, weakening against the Group's key trading currencies during the period.

Note 1. General information
MySale Group Plc is a group consisting of MySale Group Plc (the 'Company' or 'parent entity') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group'). The financial statements of the Group, in line with the location of the majority of the Group's operations and customers, are presented in Australian dollars and generally rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.
| ||||
The principal business of the Group is the operation of online shopping outlets for consumer goods like ladies, men and children's fashion clothing, accessories, beauty and homeware items.
| ||||
MySale Group Plc is a public company, limited by shares, listed on the AIM (Alternative Investment Market), a sub-market of the London Stock Exchange. The Company is incorporated and registered under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. The Company is domiciled in Australia.
| ||||
The registered office of the Company is Ogier House, The Esplanade, 44 Esplanade Street, St.Helier, JE4 9WG, Jersey and principal place of business is at 3/120 Old Pittwater Road, Brookvale, NSW 2100, Australia.
| ||||
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 31 March 2022.
|
Note 2. Significant accounting policies
These financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2021 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
| ||||
These interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, except for the policies stated below.
Going concern
This interim report has been prepared on the assumption that the business is a going concern. In reaching this assessment, the Directors have considered a period extending at least 12 months from the date of approval of this half-yearly financial report. This assessment takes account of the additional cash resource following the recent completion of the $2.3m raise through the issue of the Loan Notes and has considered a number of scenarios, taking account the possible impact of current trading in relation to the revenue forecast for the next 12 months. The Board has also considered that a number of unexpected events could occur which impact the cash position and that there is no guarantee that these internally generated forecasts will be realised.
The Directors have also considered a downside case, assuming a further 10% reduction in revenue against current Board forecasts during the next 12 months. Although it is difficult to predict how prolonged the impact of COVID-19, in particular the Omicron variant, and remaining restrictions will impact on the Group's markets for the remainder of calendar 2022 and beyond, these downside scenarios are considered unlikely.
In addition, there are a number of actions which are being implemented to help mitigate the impact on cash outflows, including but not limited to, scaling the Order After Sale and Marketplace channels which have a negative working capital profile, decreasing the amount of Own Stock inventory, further cost reductions, closing OURPAY the Groups proprietary buy now pay later service and further factoring and supply chain finance.
Under the scenarios modelled there would be adequate cash available to the Group up until April 2023
| ||||
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adoptedThe Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
| ||||
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Note 3. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments The Group's operating segments are determined based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (being the CODM) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The CODM reviews revenue and gross profit by reportable segments, being geographical regions. The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in these financial statements.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Group operates separate websites in each country that it sells goods in. Revenue from external customers is attributed to each country based on the activity on that country's website. Similar types of goods are sold in all segments. The Group's operations are unaffected by seasonality.

Treasury shares The Company has two employee share plans; (i) the Executive Incentive Plan ('EIP') and (i) the Loan Share Plan ('LSP'). In accordance with the terms of each plan 100% of the ordinary shares will vest three years from grant date subject either to the achievement of the Underlying Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation ('EBITDA') included in the Company's internal forecasts set by the Board in the year of the grant or certain share price hurdles. Share options and loan shares have been granted over the ordinary share capital of the Company and are accounted for as share-based payments. That is, the fair value of the accounting expense in relation to these options and loan shares are recognised over the vesting period.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Vested and unvested shares under the plans are recorded as treasury shares representing a deduction against issued capital. When the loans are settled or the options are exercised, the treasury shares are reclassified as ordinary shares and the equity will increase accordingly. Treasury shares have no dividend, or voting, rights.

Note 17. Events after the reporting period
The consequences of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic are continuing to be felt around the world, and its impact on the consolidated entity, if any, has been reflected in its published results to date. Whilst it would appear that control measures and related government policies, including the roll out of the vaccine, have started to mitigate the risks caused by COVID-19, it is not possible at this time to state that the pandemic will not subsequently impact the consolidated entity's operations going forward. The consolidated entity now has experience in the swift implementation of business continuation processes should future lockdowns of the population occur, and these processes continue to evolve to minimise any operational disruption. Management continues to monitor the situation both locally and internationally.
The higher-than-expected inventory levels have impacted working capital. Management have reduced the inventory balances and have, where possible, cancelled or delayed future orders. The Group has implemented several initiatives to support its working capital and is also considering strategic financing options.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.
