Cheryl Calverley, CEO of eve Sleep, commented:
"This has been a highly unusual and complex trading period. eve has benefitted
significantly from the accelerated switch to online, the temporary closure of high street
retailers, and the recent increased consumer investment in the home, which, combined with
the hard work on the rebuild strategy, has allowed us to see the fruits of our labour a
little sooner than we anticipated.
The focus now is on building towards a longer-term growth plan as we draw closer to our
goal of securing a base as a sustainable, profitable business. We do not expect this to
be easy, and 2021 like 2020 may well bring both challenges and opportunities as economies
shift, consumers reset and competitors rebuild. However, I have confidence in our brand,
our products, our customer experience and most importantly, our team that we are now well
set up to capitalize upon whatever opportunities the next few years may bring."

Summary
The first half
The rebuilding of eve is now two years in the making. Since the summer of 2018 when
territorial expansion was reversed and achieving profitability became the central focus
of the updated strategy, every aspect of the business has been re-evaluated and reset.
The product range has broadened to build credibility in the wider sleep wellness space,
the customer journey upgraded, marketing overhauled with a focus on greater effectiveness
and efficiency, and the cost base right sized.
The disciplined execution of the rebuild strategy is increasingly evident in the
improving performance of the business. Two years ago the business reported results for
the six months ended 30 June 2018, which showed an H1 EBITDA loss of GBP11.9m on revenues
of GBP18.8m, with a cash burn of GBP10.3m. Results for the six months to 30 June 2020 show
that in the last two years EBITDA losses have been cut by 93%, on revenues 35% lower. The
improvement in cashflow has been even more dramatic, with the Company reporting its first
positive cashflow in a six-month period.
2020 has been a very unusual year to date. eve entered 2020 in good shape, having already
completed the bulk of the restructuring and repositioning, including a further
significant round of cost savings in Q4 of 2019. This enabled the business to adapt
quickly and effectively to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The supply chain proved
to be robust and was supported by taking on some additional stock of key lines in advance
of the lockdown. As a young, digitally led, progressive business, the shift to home
working was seamless, with no noticeable impact on productivity and having previously
right sized the business there has been no need to furlough staff.
The overall performance of the business through this complex period has been strong with
revenues of GBP12.2m (H1 2019: GBP12.9m) and an 86% reduction in losses to GBP0.8m (H1 2019:
GBP5.9m), both ahead of the Board's expectations. Trading patterns within the period have
however fluctuated more than usual, with solid trading in the first two months, followed
by a dip in mid-March as the countries eve operate in entered lockdown.
The recovery in all markets started in early April and strengthened in May and June, with
the UK notably accelerating significantly ahead of expectations. This was buoyed by a
strong homewares market, effective and efficient marketing and eve's online focused
proposition, underpinned with tight cost control. Sales of premium mattresses and
bedframes were strong representing 38% of volume sales for the period, supported by wider
sales across toppers, pillows and duvets, resulting in 25% year-on-year revenue growth in
Q2 and the Company's first break even EBITDA quarter at constant currency in its history.
This is ahead of Board expectations by some way and reflects a highly unusual and
unexpected period whereby upwards of 80% of the competitive set were unable to trade in
their primary channel for three of the key trading months.
The strength of trading is also reflected in the net cash position of the business, which
as at 30 June 2020 stood at GBP9.2m. The cash balance is flattered by some GBP0.5m of tax
payments, which as part of the Government's Covid-19 support package for companies now
fall due after the period end. Stripping this out the Company achieved an underlying
positive net cashflow of GBP0.7m in the period.
Revenues for the UK&I for the period were GBP9.9m, marginally below H1 2019 sales of
GBP10.2m, on marketing investment 44% lower year-on-year. The contribution from
non-mattress sales held firm at 22%, reflecting the decision in the period to focus
investment on mattresses. The greater focus on profitability is evident in the UK&I gross
margin, which increased by 250bps to 56.6% as the Company improved product margins,
tightened cost control and improved stock management.
French revenues for the period were GBP2.4m (H1 2019: GBP2.8m), after marketing investment
77% lower than the previous year. The French market experienced the same broad trading
trends during the period as the UK&I, though the acceleration in sales post lockdown has
not been as marked as the UK, largely due to the business being at an earlier stage in
the development of its brand and customer experience. Nevertheless, the business has made
good progress in the period with the gross margin increasing 660bps year-on-year to 51.6%
and the marketing contribution improving from a loss of GBP1.2m in H1 2019 to a profit of
GBP0.3m in H1 2020.
In May Cheryl Calverley was promoted from CMO to CEO, following the decision by James
Sturrock to step down from the role that he has held since September 2018 to pursue other
opportunities. The transition has been seamless and James continues to provide guidance
to the Board in his new role as a Non-Executive Director. As one of the architects of the
rebuild strategy and James' first significant hire, the business under Cheryl's
leadership continues to focus on the execution of the rebuild strategy and the progress towards profitability. Developments since the period end The Company expects to benefit from further product launches and new partnerships in the second half of the year. Its increasingly strong brand positioning around broader sleep wellness has enabled the Company to develop a new 'well slept' range of eve sleep gifting products exclusively available in Boots stores and online. The new product range, which launches in October and will be stocked in some 446 stores across the UK and Ireland, as well as Boots online, represents a first for eve, further amplifying brand awareness and customer penetration. In line with the strategy of building out its product range into the wider sleep wellness category, eve will be launching a weighted blanket in the autumn to aid a good night's sleep under the new 'well slept' range of sleep accessories, as well as adding to its ranges of bedroom furniture and bedding. In France, the growing popularity of the brand has facilitated new partnerships with the bedroom and bathroom specialist retailer Olivier Desforges, and a live trial in two Casino supermarkets. Since late May, eve mattresses, bedframes and pillows have been available in Olivier Desforges stores across France and online. Retail partnerships remain an important element of the eve rebuild strategy, enabling eve to reach customers whenever and wherever they choose to shop. Market overview Long before Covid-19, wellness was recognised as a mega trend, with consumers expressing an increasing understanding and recognition that sleep sits alongside nutrition and physical fitness as the cornerstones of wellness. There is also a growing body of research and evidence which testifies to the importance of sleep and the risks to physical and mental health of insufficient sleep. In a recent poll of 2,000 UK adults commissioned by eve, 58% of respondents expressed worry about the potential impact a lack of sleep can have on mental and physical health and 8 out of 10 customers tell us they are better slept simply by having one of our products. With the increasing understanding of the importance of sleep has come consumer change. Consumers are spending more on wellness and the sleep market has been a beneficiary of this. Data from Euromonitor estimates that the European sleep market is worth GBP26bn, with the Core Markets that eve is focused on (UK&I and France) being worth GBP6bn. Not only are consumers spending more on sleep wellness related products, but they are willing to spend more on the central element of a good night's sleep: the mattress. Whilst up-to-date macro data is limited, the strength of eve's trading since April 2020, including the strong demand for its premium hybrid mattress suggests that this trend may have been further amplified following Covid-19. Initially one of the slower categories to transition to online purchasing, there has been increasing willingness on the part of consumers to purchase big ticket items online, with Euromonitor predicting that the online furniture market will be the second fastest growing retail category, with online purchase penetration expected to increase by 55% between 2018 and 2023. This forecast predates Covid-19, which is widely believed to have accelerated the trend to online purchasing. Whilst the mattress market remains highly fragmented there has been considerable change in the competitive landscape. Primarily online brands Casper and Leesa have closed their European operations, while many store based competitors have reduced their high street footprints. eve's strategy is to differentiate itself from peers, supporting a broader, more varied product set through building a brand around the wider sleep wellness category. This can be seen in its advertising and eve's continued development of new product ranges beyond mattresses. Progressing the rebuild strategy The progress made on each of the three pillars of the rebuild strategy is set out below: 1) Differentiated brand positioning Key to creating shareholder value is to provide a differentiated position from peers. To achieve this the Company aims to become a trusted destination for a wide range of sleep wellness related products, supported by a marketing strategy, focused on the benefits that eve can bring in helping customers sleep better. This is monitored through continuous customer research, tracking a 'sleep wellness score', with currently 8 out of 10 customers claiming they are sleeping better thanks to their eve products. During the period the Company took advantage of the soft TV market to run existing, highly effective campaigns in both the UK and France. These proved successful, efficiently supporting the trading recovery that commenced in early April. Accordingly, marketing efficiency in the period more than doubled, with marketing investment expressed as a percentage of revenues declining to 25.3%. However, notwithstanding a 44% year-on-year reduction in UK marketing spend, spontaneous brand awareness in the UK increased by a further 200bps year-on-year to 17% in August 2020, supported by the success of the highly effective 'dancing sloth' advertising campaign. 2. Expanded product range The Company continues to build a range of sleep wellness products to complement the range of hybrid and next generation foam mattresses. These operate at three price points, covering a range of consumer preferences. Having launched a number of new products in 2019, the focus in 2020 has been on optimising and improving current product ranges, and H1 has seen the launch of one additional mattress, and upgrades and improvements to the bedding and bedframe ranges. This has allowed the value contribution of non-mattress products to remain consistent at 23% (H1 2019: 24%). 3) Lower friction customer experience Enhancing customer experience through the online journey and in the service proposition in order to drive stronger site conversion and customer satisfaction is central to the rebuild strategy. Improved conversion not only results in higher revenues but also greater marketing efficiency, and stronger customer repeat rates which is key to achieving profitability. Covid-19 caused an immediate shift in customer needs around product experience. For the period of lockdown, eve extended its usual 100 night trial to 200 nights, cognisant that customers may be focusing on bigger, and more pressing concerns than returning their mattress in this time. Equally, in response to the closure of waste management facilities nationwide, eve accelerated the planned launch of its 'deliver, remove and recycle' service in the UK, allowing customers to have their old mattress removed and recycled by eve. Uptake of this service has been remarkable, with around 30% of customers choosing to use the service over the period since the launch in May. In addition to improving the online experience for customers, it remains a central element of the strategy to be physically available where customers choose to research and purchase sleep wellness products. Retail partnerships provide an effective and cost-efficient way to reach a wider audience, raise eve's brand awareness and drive additional sales. During the period considerable work was undertaken in France to secure the partnership with Olivier Desforges and the trial with supermarket chain Casino, both of which have gone live post the period end, in addition to the aforementioned launch of the 'well slept' gifting range with Boots in the UK. The conversion rate has been steadily improving for some time, reflecting the optimisation of both the customer journey and the marketing investment, with the rate of growth accelerating following the start of lockdown. In the UK the conversion rate in the period improved by 70 bps year-on-year, with the French market growing 40 bps. As a result of this broad, differentiated brand positioning, award winning and widened range of sleep products, and high quality customer experience, some 13% of customers have now returned for second and further purchases from eve in the past 3 years, beginning to drive an underlying organic rate of sale and contributing further to marketing efficiency. 4) Right sizing the cost base Underlying the three pillars of the rebuild strategy is a sustained focus on costs and margins. Results in the period have benefitted from cost saving measures taken in Q4 of 2019. In addition, the Company has been overhauling its distribution costs, having moved warehouses and switched carriers in 2019. This has driven an immediate improvement in the customer experience but in the short-term has also driven an increase in distribution costs in the period. The financial benefits of the changes are expected to start to come through later in the year and into 2021. Customer service remains an absolutely core differentiator for eve, and the business is increasing its investment here with new hires in response to the strength of current trading. Over the long term, eve believes developing best in class customer service that can operate at scale is a core differentiating advantage for the business, and this is a key part of its growth plans. Current Trading and Outlook As detailed in the statement released on 3 September 2020 the Company raised full year guidance following continued strong trading momentum through July and August. The Board now expects revenues of at least GBP22m, notwithstanding some important trading periods in the remaining four months of the financial year. The higher than budgeted revenues have had a positive impact on underlying EBITDA losses, with the Company having achieved positive underlying EBITDA on a constant currency basis in the four months from May. Notwithstanding the investment in a new TV led marketing campaign which is planned to launch later this year, underlying EBITDA losses for the full year are now expected to be
lower than the Board's original expectation, with a corresponding improvement in the year
end net cash position.
Looking ahead uncertainty over Brexit and a trade deal with the EU remains. The Company
has to the extent possible put in place mitigations, which centre effectively on separate
and local supply chains for its UK and French operations. These are already operating
effectively and accordingly are not expected to result in higher costs. In addition, the
Company will take on additional stock of popular lines in the run-up to 1 January 2021 in
order to minimise the risk of any supply side challenges.
As the Company commences its long term planning for sustainable, profitable growth, it is
cognisant that some of the principle drivers underpinning the current strength of trading
could partially reverse and that heightened macro economic uncertainty may well continue
into 2021, with inflation in raw material and component pricing in particular a challenge
for the industry. However, management is confident that the business has been put onto a
long term, sounder footing and that the Company is in good shape to withstand challenges
and capitalise on the opportunities ahead.

ended 30 June 2020 and do not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of S.434 of
the Companies Act 2006. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of International Financial
Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and Interpretations (collectively
IFRSs) as adopted by the EU. They do not include all disclosures that would otherwise be
required in a complete set of financial statements. The consolidated financial statements
are presented in Sterling, which is also the Group's functional currency.
Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2019 have been delivered to the
registrar of companies. The auditor has reported on those accounts; their reports were
(i) unqualified, (ii) did include a reference to which the auditor drew attention by way
of emphasis without qualifying their report in respect of going concern and (iii) did not
contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
Going concern
The interim consolidated statements are prepared on a going concern basis notwithstanding
that the group is competing and disrupting an established market and as is typical for a
business at this stage of its lifecycle is still generating losses as it uses working
capital to develop the business model and market share. The business has benefited from
UK government Covid-19 support measures and deferred payment of VAT until 2021. No
further government support has been utilised.
Changes to accounting standards
The interim consolidated statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
policies that are consistent with the accounts of the year ended 31 December 2019 and
that are expected to be applied in the Report and Accounts of the year ended 31 December
2020.
2. Segmental Analysis
IFRS 8, "Operating Segments", requires operating segments to be determined based on the
Group's internal reporting to the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The Chief Operating
Decision Maker has been determined to be the executive board and has determined that the
primary segmental reporting format of the Group is geographical by customer location,
based on the Group's management and internal reporting structure.
The executive board assesses the performance of each segment based on revenue and gross
profit after distribution expenses, which excludes administrative expenses.

No analysis of the assets and liabilities of each operating segment is provided to the
Chief Operating Decision Maker in the monthly management accounts. Therefore no measure
of segmental assets or liabilities is disclosed in this note.
Due to the nature of its activities the group is not reliant on any major customers.
3. Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss
attributable to equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares in issue during the year.

per share (pence)
Diluted (0.48) (2.88) (4.92)
earnings/(loss) per
share (pence)
EPS and diluted EPS are not calculated for each class of share as the shares carry the
same right to share in profit or loss for the year.
For the periods presented the weighted average number of shares used for calculating the
diluted loss per share are identical to those for the basic loss per share. This is
because the outstanding share options would have the effect of reducing the loss per
share and would not be dilutive under IAS 33.
At 30 June 2020, options outstanding amounted to 16,420,457 (30 June 2019: 12,239,449).
Given the loss for the period of (GBP1,270,332) loss (six months to 30 June 2019: loss of
(GBP6,660,017)), these options are anti-dilutive.
