About MySale
MySale is a leading international online retailer with established retail websites in Australia, New Zealand and South-East Asia. Founded in 2007, the Group provides customers with access to outstanding brands and products at discounted prices whilst simultaneously providing brand partners with unique international inventory and sales solutions.
The Group operates an Inventory Light Marketplace Platform in ANZ and SE Asia for domestic and international brands with MySale Solutions providing three key service pillars: Technology, Operations and Data. MySale's core product categories are womenswear, menswear, footwear, sports, health & beauty, homewares, technology and personalised gifts. Customers' shopping experiences are enhanced by the Group's deployment of leading edge technology to ensure personalised and localised product offerings.
The Group operates 12 websites in five countries; OzSale, BuyInvite, DealsDirect, OO, Top Buy and IdentityDirect in Australia; NzSale, Buyinvite and IdentityDirect in New Zealand; SingSale in Singapore, and MySale in Malaysia and Hong Kong.
Chairman's statement
MySale has continued to successfully build upon the solid foundations put down as part of its restructure to an inventory light market place platform focused firmly on the ANZ market.
A key area of the restructure has been to focus on better quality revenue, which has meant being much stricter on which third-party sellers can trade on the platform and being more selective over what stock is purchased. This in turn has led to better quality products on the website and a significant improvement in customer satisfaction scoring, which should lead to improved customer retention and repeat purchase rates going forward. From a financial perspective, this has led to a 12% improvement in gross margin to 38% (H1 FY20: 34%).
The cost to service customers has fallen during the period due to technology efficiencies and the inventory light model utilising less infrastructure and a lower net cost of distribution. The cost base has fallen by 21% to A$21.7m (H1 FY20: A$27.4m) and this represented 34% of sales during the period.
Whilst Group Total Revenue reduced by 11%, Core Revenue (which excludes sale of legacy stock) increased by 15% on the prior period. When combined with the reduced cost base and increased gross margin, this led to underlying EBITDA of A$2.5m for the period; a significant improvement on H1 last year, which was a loss of A$3.1m.
The ANZ region has managed the COVID-19 pandemic very well and has largely been insulated by putting in place very strict border controls at an early stage, meaning that the region is almost back to operating as it did pre-pandemic. There are however still strict border controls in place, which will continue to negatively affect freight in and out of the region for the short term. When these restrictions start to ease we believe the MySale platform is well placed to benefit further and continue to drive growth from both domestic and international suppliers, while increasing market share in what is a significant and fast growing ANZ e-commerce market.
Operational review
H1 Trading
Although Group Total Revenue decreased by 11% to A$63.8m (H1 FY20: A$71.9m), Core Revenue (when excluding legacy stock) grew by 15% in the period to A$61.3m (H1 FY20: A$53.1m).
Gross margins have continued to improve, increasing to 38% (H1 FY20: 34%) as we continue to drive better quality revenue through our inventory light platform. The Group's cost base has reduced by 21% to A$21.7m (H1 FY20: A$27.4m) representing 34% of Total Revenue (H1 FY20: 39%), allowing the business to start to deliver increased operational leverage.
During the period the Group raised A$9.3m from entities associated with the founders and former CEO of Catch.com.au, one of Australia's most successful online retailers.
The Group continues to operate on a profitable and bank debt-free basis, with a net cash balance of A$15.8m as of 31 December 2020 (H1 FY20: A$7.3m).
Current Trading & Outlook
Trading for the first two months of Q3 has continued to be profitable, with Core Revenue and gross profit significantly ahead of the prior year, underpinned by robust margins and a right sized, more flexible cost base.
The Board expects Group revenue for the financial year to 30 June 2021 to be in line with previous guidance, with Group underlying EBITDA expected to be significantly ahead of market expectations.
ANZ First Strategy
We are pleased with the excellent progress we are making with our ANZ First Strategy. During the period, 88% of Core Revenue was from third-party sellers on our proprietary Inventory Light Marketplace platform. During the period, we had 1,026 active third-party partners. This number has continued to grow in the first two months of Q3, underpinned by over 90 active marketplace sellers with significant continued momentum expected for the reminder of the financial year.
In parallel, we continue to successfully scale our high margin own stock channel, adopting a selective, breadth not depth "test and repeat strategy". The new own stock channel revenue was A$7m, representing 11% of Total Revenue (H1 FY20: Nil) and it is expected that this will continue to increase to approximately 20% of Total Revenue for FY21.
Our UK and US teams are taking advantage of the significant counter seasonal inventory opportunities as we continue to scale the number of international partners and high margin own stock. Whilst there are significant supply side opportunities, there remain challenges with international freight costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Australian online retail market is estimated to reach A$47.3 billion** by 2024, growing in excess of 20% per annum. The Board remains confident about the Group's attractive positioning as an off-price specialist, with a clear proposition built around MYSALE Solutions, our proprietary technology platform. Our ambition remains to be the largest off-price marketplace for branded fashion, beauty and home in ANZ taking advantage of the continued strengthening ANZ off-price channel.
Review of dual listing
Further to the announcement as part of our full year results on 26 November 2020, the Group has now progressed its review of a potential dual listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The Board continues to believe that aligning the Group's operations with its listing location in parallel with its existing trading on AIM, is in the best interests of all shareholders. Lead advisors have been appointed. No formal decision has yet been made on whether to proceed, however, if a dual listing onto the ASX is pursued, it would likely occur in FY22. The Group will keep investors updated of any material developments.

Revenue
Whilst Group Total Revenue decreased by 11% to A$63.8m (H1 FY20: A$71.9m), Core Revenue when excluding legacy stock grew by 15% to A$61.3m (H1 FY20: A$53.1m).
The Group has continued to focus on its activities and opportunities in the ANZ region, through its ANZ First strategy. This strategy aims to optimise the Group's significant scale, resources and market position in this region. This focus on ANZ resulted in Core Revenue growth of 21%, which was partially offset by an expected revenue decline in South-East Asia.
Our revenue focus is on sales through the inventory light platform, consisting of third-party sellers and selective high margin, fast turnaround own stock. Sales of legacy stock in the period reduced significantly to A$2.5m (H1 FY20: A$18.8m) as this remaining stock is cleared for cash.
Gross Margins
During the first half of FY21, gross profit margins have strengthened by 12% to 38% (H1 FY20: 34%). The focus on the higher quality revenue from third-party suppliers alongside the growth of our in-stock model has significantly contributed to driving the improved gross profit margin.
Administrative Expenses
The Group's fixed cost base reduced by 16% to A$6.5m (H1 FY20: A$7.7m) and variable costs reduced by 23% to A$15.2m (H1 FY20: A$19.7m). Overall cost base as a percentage of Group Total Revenue declined from 38% in H1 FY20 to 34% in H1 FY21.
The Group now has a reduced, right sized, more flexible cost base enabling it to benefit from operational gearing as revenues grow.

Balance Sheet, Cash and Working Capital
The Group's closing cash balance was A$15.8m (H1 FY20: A$7.3m) and the Group now operates on a debt-free basis.
In October 2020 the company raised an additional A$9.3m from entities associated with both founders as well as the former CEO of Catch.com.au, who successfully built Catch.com.au into one of Australia's most successful online retail marketplaces.
The total inventory balance has reduced to A$2.6m at period end (H1 FY20: A$2.8m).
Capital expenditure decreased significantly, as planned, to A$0.7m (H1 FY20: A$1.3m) as the efficiency of the proprietary technology platform continues to improve.
Underlying EBITDA
As noted above, the Group manages its operations by looking at the underlying EBITDA which excludes the impact of a number of 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. A reconciliation between reported profit before tax and underlying EBITDA is included in note 5 to the financial statements and outlined below.

Included within one-off items are items of a non-trading, non-recurring nature, including reorganisation costs, termination charges and other costs associated with the action plan described above.
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.

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
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis. In reaching their assessment, the Directors have considered a period
extending at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial
statements.
As at 31 December 2020, the Group's current liabilities exceeds current
assets by A$5,270,000 (30 June 2020: A$15,003,000) and the Group has incurred
a loss before tax of A$1,024,000 (at 31 December 2019: A$3,687,000) and
generated operating cash outflow of A$315,000 (at 31 December 2019: A$4,261,000
inflow).
The uncertainty as to the future impact on the Group of the COVID-19 pandemic
has been considered as part of the Group's adoption of the going concern
basis. Although a number of COVID-19 restrictions in Australia have eased
after the reporting period, the Directors continue to monitor developments
and the potential impact of any new measures imposed due to COVID-19 on
the operational and financial risks of the Group.
Immediate action has been taken to protect the cash resources of the business
until further certainty is gained. These measures include, but are not limited
to:
-- strengthening the cash position by raising an additional A$9,200,000
on 08 October 2020
-- obtaining government support as part of various economic stimulus initiatives.
The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts covering a period to 31
March 2022. This assessment has included consideration of the forecast performance
of the business for the foreseeable future and the cash available to the
Group. In preparing these forecasts, the Directors have considered a number
of detailed sensitivities, including a worst case scenario considering the
potential impact of Covid-19.
If revenue were to fall in line with the worst case model, the Group would
take further remedial action to counter the reduction in profit and cash
through a cost cutting exercise that would include staff redundancies and
general cost control measures.
Included in the Group's current liabilities is balance for contract liabilities
(non-cash liabilities) of A$6,421,000. Excluding this the Group's current
assets exceed current liabilities by A$1,151,000.
Additionally, the Group has a proven track record of raising capital to
assist with cash flow needs as and when required.
Based on current trading, the worst case scenario is considered unlikely.
However, it is difficult to predict the overall impact and outcome of COVID-19
at this stage, particularly if the second wave continues in to 2021. Nevertheless,
after making enquiries, and considering the uncertainties described above,
the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
For these reasons, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing
the interim report and accounts.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The 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 Chief Operating
Decision Makers ('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.
Intersegment transactions
Intersegment transactions were made at market rates and are eliminated on
consolidation.

Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds
on the winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of and amounts
paid on the shares held.
Treasury shares
The Company has two employee share plans; (1) the Executive Incentive Plan
('EIP') and (2) 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 exercise, the treasury shares are reclassified as ordinary
shares and the equity will increase accordingly. Treasury shares have no
dividend, or voting, rights.

Share premium account 338,215 328,971 328,971
========== ========== ===========
The share premium account is used to recognise the difference between the
issued share capital at nominal value and the capital received.
In October 2020, the Company issued 85,225,129 new ordinary shares to entities
associated with Gabby Leibovich, Hezi Leibovich and Nati Harpaz (together,
the 'Subscription') to raise approximately GBP5.1m (approximately A$9.3m).
The Subscription successfully built Catch.com.au into one of Australia's
most successful online retailers, which included an inventory business as
well as a successful marketplace which had more than two million products
available for Australian consumers.
The Company intends to use a proportion of the proceeds as capital investments
in technology to expand and develop its marketplace platform. The Company
has been taking advantage of inventory available around the world and the
proceeds will enable further selective investment in inventory to continue
to improve brand and inventory mix. The Company has been cash positive for
the last six months and this additional investment of A$9.3m gives total
net cash in excess of A$12m to grow the business.
In September 2019, the Company finalised a share placement for A$23,329,000.
Net proceeds after considering the share issue costs of A$721,000 was A$22,608,000.
The total number of new shares issued under the placement was 640,376,083
bringing the total shares on issue to 794,707,735.
In December 2019, the Company issued 22,533,118 ordinary shares, 4,542,614
to MySale Group Trustee Limited, in its capacity as the trustee of the MySale
Group Plc Employee Benefit Trust ('EBT'), and 17,990,504 directly to those
Directors and management taking part in the Loan Share Plan as part of the
Company's management incentive scheme for its Directors, Non-executive Directors,
and senior management. These shares, in addition to the existing 3,000,000
ordinary shares already held in the EBT, will be used to satisfy the Share
Awards, subject to the performance criteria being met. Following admission
of these shares the Company's total issued share capital was 817,240,853
Ordinary Shares. The total number of voting rights in the Company is 809,698,239.
