FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FROM H1 FY2022

Revenue for the half-year was $113.1 million which was an increase of 18% over the comparative period in H1FY21. The revenue growth is attributable to the growth in LTM Active customers, which increased 13% over the comparative period in CY21 to 875,597. The Company also benefitted from multiple record trading days including Afterpay Day in August, and Cyber Weekend in November.

Balance Sheet

Adore Beauty's Balance Sheet remains strong. The Company is well funded with $25.1 million in cash. Inventory levels increased during the period to support revenue growth and mitigate supply chain issues.

Cash flow

Adore Beauty's net operating cash outflows were $2.6 million and included expenses incurred as part of strategic initiatives and inventory investment.

An additional $0.9 million was incurred on investing activities, primarily investment in the Company's website and mobile app which are the shop front of the business and the prime interface with its customers.

Dividend

No dividend has been paid or declared during the period.

COVID-19

The impact of COVID-19 has affected the Australian beauty and personal care market in a number of ways including, for example, a shift away from cosmetics to skin care products as the pandemic has emphasised the need for consumers to focus on self-care and health and consumers spending more time at home.

In addition, shopping behaviours and preferences have changed driven by government mandated restrictions (including lockdowns and social distancing measures) and consumer aversion to physically visiting retailers due to health concerns.

Strategic Update

Looking ahead, we expect to deliver strong sustainable growth as we leverage our online market leadership position to continue to increase our market share within a growing market driven by a structural shift to online. As the business grows, we expect scale benefits to increase operating leverage over time.

We are pursuing a growth strategy. The drivers of growth and operating leverage are outlined below.

1. Range authority: Provide a unique and compelling range of products and services. Grow and deepen brand partnerships through providing access to a large, engaged customer base and strong marketing platform.
2. Best online transaction experience: Deliver an integrated content, marketing and eCommerce retail platform. Provide an empowering, engaging online customer experience underpinned by data-driven personalisation.
3. Content led customer engagement: Build a highly satisfied, engaged, loyal customer community. Build a trusted brand and beauty discovery destination. Expand authentic content and education to grow customer-led engagement.
