The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

Luxembourg, 16 October 2024 – Global Fashion Group S.A. (“GFG”) raises its full-year 2024 guidance as it expects to exceed the Adjusted EBITDA guidance set in March. This positive outlook is primarily driven by operational efficiency efforts which have improved overall performance amid better consumer demand trends. The expansion of Gross Margin, combined with ongoing cost discipline, has resulted in a significant increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin for the third quarter.

For the full-year 2024, GFG now expects a year-over-year (“yoy”) decrease in Net Merchandise Value (“NMV”) between 8% and 12% on a constant currency basis, narrowing from the previous range of a 5% to 15% decrease yoy. This implies an NMV range of €1,100 to €1,160 million, which also reflects current exchange rate impacts, compared to the previous range of €1,100 to €1,200 million. For Adjusted EBITDA, GFG expects a range of €(16) to €(28) million which is an improvement from the prior range of €(25) to €(45) million.

Based on preliminary third quarter 2024 results, GFG generated €264 million in NMV, decreasing 4% yoy. This represents a notable slowdown in the rate of decline compared to prior quarters. Regionally, NMV decreased by 1% in LATAM, 12% in SEA and 1% in ANZ yoy. GFG delivered €174 million in Revenue, decreasing 3% yoy. Both NMV and Revenue growth rates are based on constant currency.

GFG’s third quarter Adjusted EBITDA margin of (5)% increased significantly by 5 percentage points yoy to reach €(8) million. GFG closed the quarter with €189 million Pro-Forma Cash and €128 million Pro-Forma Net Cash after adjusting for outstanding convertible bond debt and small third-party loans.

All figures reported herein are preliminary and unaudited. The final numbers for Q3 2024 may deviate from what is presented in this release. GFG will publish its Q3 results as scheduled on 14 November 2024.

Person making the notification: Louise Pender, Group General Counsel & Company Secretary.
