Q3 21

  • Highly recurring revenue: 59% of Q321 Ingenuity Commerce revenues are recurring. The remaining 41% is classified as non-recurring as these are one-off costs for clients (such as site build fees), however, these costs recur each time a new client on-boards so are recurring in nature for THG.
  • Annual Revenue Run-rate "ARR" of £44m(1) at the end of the third quarter; increasing to £53m inclusive of sites scheduled to go live in Q4.
  • Visibility on Q4 FY22 ARR of £112m assuming 400 live sites at the end of FY22 with consistent recurring revenue per site and recurring revenue of 60%.
  • SoftBank option illustration: assuming 60% recurring sales mix from 600 sites live by the end of 2023 (£170,000 revenue/site) and a 4% revenue-share on £2.5bn GMV from Beauty & Nutrition, then Ingenuity Commerce revenues annualise at £270m in FY23 vs £4.5bn option price.
  • Average 12 week to go-liveschedule.
  • Ingenuity is now delivering for 3rd parties what it has delivered for THG Beauty & Nutrition for over a decade:

THG Ingenuity Model Overview

Ingenuity division revenue of £136.9m YTD, consisting of:

Ingenuity Commerce: £30.0m

  • End-to-endtechnology services charged to 3rd party clients for digital commerce solutions
  • Multi-yearcontracts (3-10 years), highly profitable and cash generative
  • Serving enterprise scale brand owners and retailers across the broadest cross-section of consumer categories, across all major developed and developing geographies
  • The majority of the top 20 clients were re-platformed from existing technology platforms
  • All the top 20 clients are powered by Ingenuity in one or more major market (UK, US, China, Japan, Germany), with an average of 3 website locales per client
  • 100% external client revenues. No THG own-brand or Infrastructure Services revenues are recognised in this division

Ingenuity Infrastructure services: £106.9m

  • Critical infrastructure in the Ingenuity stack, underpinning the Ingenuity Commerce offering
  • 3rd party revenues ensure that the division is a profit centre not a cost centre, delivering key services to THG own brands (not charged) and Ingenuity clients at scale and with best-in-classknow-how
  • Differentiated from Commerce as charged to 3rd parties as a single service or short term contracts, rather than bundled with multiple elements of the Ingenuity stack on long term contracts. Any infrastructure services charged as part of a bundled multi-service,long-term contract are recognised in Commerce only
  • Services charged as a single service to 3rd parties: Hosting; Translation; Manufacturing; THG (eco) (e.g. recycling)
  • Certain infrastructure services (e.g. postage) can be delivered free of charges to the client, when bundled in a Commerce contract in order to ensure compelling pricing. Where costs are passed through to clients at nil THG margin the pass-through revenues are captured in this division. As the Ingenuity pricing model matures all costs will be charged with a margin so reducing the growth of this pass through at nil margin revenue
  • 100% external client revenues. No THG own-brand or Commerce revenues are recognised in this division
