MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a global luxury fashion group with five portfolio brands, namely Lanvin, Wolford, Sergio Rossi, St. John and Caruso. Founded in 1889, Lanvin is one of the oldest French couture houses still in operation, offering products ranging from apparel to leather goods, footwear, and accessories. Wolford, founded in 1950, is one of the largest luxury skinwear brands in the world, offering luxury legwear and bodywear, with a recent successful diversification into leisurewear and athleisure. Sergio Rossi is a highly recognized Italian shoemaker brand and has been a household name for luxury shoes since 1951. St. John is a classic, timeless and sophisticated American luxury womenswear house founded in 1962 and Caruso has been a premier menswear manufacturer in Europe since 1958. In addition to our current five portfolio brands, we are also actively looking at potential add-on acquisitions as part of our growth strategy.

Our goal is to build a leading global luxury group with unparalleled access to Asia and to provide customers with excellent products that reflect our brands’ tradition of fine craftsmanship with exclusive design content and a style that preserves the exceptional manufacturing quality for which those brands are known. This is consistently achieved through the sourcing of superior raw materials, the careful finish of each piece, and the way the products are manufactured and delivered to our customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded revenues of €214.5 million and €201.7 million, respectively, net loss of €72.2 million and €68.7 million, respectively and Adjusted EBITDA of €(40.9) million and €(35.5) million, respectively.

We operate a combination of direct-to-consumer, or DTC, and wholesale channels worldwide through our extensive network of around 1,200 points of sale, including approximately 300 directly-operated retail stores (across our five portfolio brands) as of June 30, 2023. We distribute our products worldwide via retail and outlet stores, wholesale customers and e-commerce platforms. Taking into account the DTC (including both directly-operated stores and e-commerce sites) and wholesale channels, we are present in more than 80 countries.

Key Factors Affecting Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Fluctuations in exchange rates

A significant portion of our operations are in international markets outside the Eurozone, where we record revenues and expenses in various currencies other than the Euro, mainly the Chinese Renminbi and U.S. dollar, as well as other currencies.

The table below shows the exchange rates of the main foreign currencies used to prepare the Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements compared to the Euro.

Revenues

We generate revenue primarily through our five brands: Lanvin, Wolford, St. John, Sergio Rossi and Caruso, whose revenues are generated from the sale of their products, manufacturing and services for private labels and other luxury brands, as well as from royalties received from third parties and licensees. Revenue is measured at the transaction price which is based on the amount of consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to the customer. For each period presented, revenue is exclusive of sales incentives, rebates and sales discounts. As such, the percentage contribution of these sales incentives, rebates and sales discount is zero.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to €214.5 million, an increase of €12.8 million or 6.4%, compared to €201.7 million in the same period in 2022.

By segment

By segment, the increase in revenues was driven by (i) an increase of €6.1 million (or 22.4%) in sales from Sergio Rossi segment, (ii) an increase of €5.0 million in sales (or 33.6%) from Caruso segment, (iii) an increase of €4.7 million (or 11.3%) from St. John segment and (iv) an increase of €4.5 million (or 8.4%) from Wolford segment. However, Lanvin segment showed lower results compared to the previous period as the brand focused on its creative transition and had comparatively fewer key product and marketing initiatives in the first half of 2023.

By sales channel

By sales channel, the increase in revenues was mainly related to an increase of €5.9 million (or 5.1%) in the DTC channel, an increase of €1.8 million (or 2.2%) in the wholesale channel, and an increase of €5.2 million (or 177.8%) in the other channel.

The increase in the DTC channel was driven by sales per square meter growth in our retail stores. In particular, our Wolford and St. John saw double digit growth in North America, as increased brand awareness and growing popularity of our ready-to-wear products propelled sales per square meter growth in our stores and e-commerce business.

Growth in our e-commerce business was also an important driver for our DTC channel. E-commerce revenues grew €1.1 million (or 4.3%) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and was mainly driven by Sergio Rossi and St. John, whose e-commerce sales increased by 9.7% and 35.6%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2022.

Other channel growth was mainly driven by the increase of Lanvin’s royalty income and clearance income.

Wholesale revenues increase was mainly driven by the increase of Wolford, Sergio Rossi, and Caruso’s wholesale business and offset by the decrease of Lanvin and St. John’s wholesales business. The decrease of St. John’s wholesale business was mainly due to a large order in the first half of 2022 that did not recur in the first half of 2023. Caruso’s manufacturing business that books its revenues to B2B clients and wholesale customers exclusively, saw its business grow €5.0 million (or 33.6%) year-over-year, supported by the back-to-elegance trend and increasing orders from existing and new clients. Wolford’s wholesale business contributed a growth of €4.1 million (or 28.2%) year-over-year in the six months ended June 30, 2023, driven by the opening of new franchise locations and price increase. Sergio Rossi’s wholesale business contributed a growth of €3.9 million (or 31.3%) year-over-year in the six months ended June 30, 2023, which was mainly driven by an increase in orders during the first half of the year. Sales to our five largest customers were 8.7% and 7.8% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. No single customer accounted for more than 5% of our consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

By geography

By geographical region, the increase in revenues was mainly driven by (i) an increase of €5.2 million (or 5.3%) in EMEA, (ii) an increase of €3.2 million (or 13.9%) in Greater China, (iii) an increase of €2.6 million (or 27.1%) in other Asia, and (iv) an increase of €1.9 million (or 2.6%) in North America.

The growth in EMEA was driven by the growth of Caruso, Sergio Rossi as well as Wolford. Caruso’s EMEA business grew €4.9 million (or 42.9%) year-over-year to €16.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023. Sergio Rossi’s EMEA business grew €4.2 million (or 29.7%) year-over-year to €18.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023. Wolford’s EMEA business grew €1.9 million (or 4.9%) year-over-year to €40.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023. EMEA saw moderate growth from a strong domestic demand.

The growth in Greater China was driven by the growth from St. John, Wolford and Sergio Rossi. In particular, in the six months ended June 30, 2023, St. John grew its Greater China business by 86.2% to €4.3 million, Wolford grew its Greater China business by 46.7% to €4.1 million and Sergio Rossi grew its Greater China business by 20.9% to €6.4 million. The revenues growth in Greater China was mainly driven by stronger consumer demand towards the end of the first half of 2023 as well as increased foot traffic compared to a lower base in the same period in 2022, which was negatively impacted by COVID-19 related restrictions.

The growth in North America was driven by the growth from St. John and Wolford. In particular, in the six months ended June 30, 2023, St. John’s North American business grew 6.3% year-over-year to €41.6 million and Wolford’s North America business grew by €1.3 million or 10.3% to €14.2 million.

The growth in other Asia was driven by the growth of Lanvin and Sergio Rossi. Lanvin’s other Asia business grew €1.8 million (or 113.9%) year-over-year to €3.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, which was mainly driven by the increase of royalty income and clearance income. Sergio Rossi’s other Asia business grew €0.5 million (or 7.5%) year-over-year to €7.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, which was mainly driven by the growth of its rom DTC channel business.

Lanvin’s decrease in revenues was primarily attributed to undertaking a creative transition, as well as relatively fewer key product and marketing initiatives during the first half of 2023.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales includes the raw material cost, production labor, assembly overhead including depreciation expense, procurement of the merchandise, and inventory valuation adjustments. In addition, cost of sales also includes customs duties, product packaging cost, royalty cost associated with sales of licensed products, and freight charges, excluding shipping and handling expenses for our e-commerce sales.

The following table sets forth a breakdown of cost of sales by nature for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to €89.1 million, a slight increase of €0.1 million or 0.1%, compared to €89.0 million in the same period in 2022.

By segment, the slight increase in cost of sales was mainly related to the increase in scale and sales for almost all of our brands, including (i) an increase of €3.7 million (or 30.5%) from Sergio Rossi, (ii) an increase of €3.5 million (or 31.3%) from Caruso, (iii) an increase of €1.5 million (or 9.1%) from St. John, and (iv) an increase of €0.9 million (or 5.4%) from Wolford, which was partially offset by the decrease of €8.8 million (or 26.0%) from Lanvin.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues declined to 41.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 44.1% in the same period in 2022. The decline was primarily due to greater economies of scale from sourcing and production, and improvements in manufacturing efficiencies. In particular, Lanvin reduced cost of sales in percentage terms and absolute terms, to 44.0% of revenues or €25.1million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, from 53.0% or €33.9 million in the same period in 2022. Cost of sales also benefited from a greater emphasis on core and carry-over products, which improved full price selling. Inventory impairment costs improved in the six months ended June 30, 2023 was €2.9 million gain (or 1.4% as a percentage of revenue), compared to €4.9 million loss (or (2.4)% as a percentage of revenue) in the same period in 2022.

The increase in gross profit was mainly related to the increase in revenues scale, excluding eliminations and unallocated, and the decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue. Gross profit margin improved to 58.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 55.9% in the same period in 2022.

Marketing and selling expenses

Marketing and selling expenses include store employee compensation, occupancy costs, depreciation, supply costs for store equipment, wholesale and retail account administration compensation globally, as well as depreciation and amortization which includes depreciation of right-of-use assets under IFRS 16. These expenses are affected by the number of stores that are open during any fiscal period and store performance, as compensation and rent expenses can vary with sales. Marketing and selling expenses also include advertising and marketing expenses, which consist of media space and production costs, advertising agency fees, public relations and market research expenses. In addition, marketing and selling expenses include distribution and customer service expenses which consist of warehousing, order fulfillment, shipping and handling, customer service, employee compensation and bag repair costs.

Marketing and selling expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to €110.6 million, an increase of €3.8 million (or 3.5%), compared to €106.8 million in the same period in 2022.

By segment, the increase in marketing and selling expenses was mainly related to (i) an increase of €2.6 million (or 12.1%) from St. John, mainly for marketing investment to grow its digital channel, (ii) an increase of €2.4 million (or 7.1%) from Lanvin, (iii) an increase of €0.2 million (or 1.6%) from Sergio Rossi, (iv) an increase of €0.2 million (or 26.0%) from Caruso, and (v) a decrease of €2.2 million (or 5.5%) from Wolford. The increase in marketing and selling expenses at Lanvin was driven by increased store count and our investment in building the brand awareness in the six months ended June 30, 2023, including the Fall/Winter fashion show at Paris Fashion Week in 2023, that was presented in digital format during same period of 2022.

Marketing and selling expenses declined as a percentage of revenues due to increased productivity at our DTC retail locations and economies of scale. By segment, Wolford’s marketing and selling expenses as a percentage of revenues improved to 64.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 74.3% in the same period in 2022 due to higher sales performance at its retail locations. We expect marketing and selling expenses to further decline as a percentage of revenues as the total sales increase and as we continue to refresh and replace unprofitable locations.

Contribution profit

Contribution profit is defined as net revenues less the cost of sales and selling and marketing expenses, which constitutes the majority of our variable costs. Contribution profit is a non-IFRS financial measure. See “—Non-IFRS Financial Measures.”

The Group uses contribution profit to track operating performance and as a key performance indicator for its operational and cost initiatives. Our consolidated contribution profit increased by €8.9 million (or 150.4%) to €14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from €5.9 million in the same period in 2022. The increase was mainly related to (i) an increase of €5.9 million from Wolford, (ii) an increase of €2.2 million from Sergio Rossi, (iii) an increase of €1.3 million from Caruso, (iv) an increase of €0.7 million from St. John, which was partially offset by a decrease of €0.5 million from Lanvin. Lanvin continues to implement a number of cost reduction initiatives but saw a small decrease in contribution profits due to lower sales.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses include administrative and management staff costs, product creation and sample costs, rent, depreciation, and amortization expenses for our administrative staff, as well as IT system development and maintenance expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased to €76.5 million or by 1.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from €75.8 million in the same period in 2022. General and administrative expenses declined as a percentage of revenues to 35.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 37.6% in the same period in 2022, due to cost optimization and economies of scale. The slight increase was primarily due to additional cost associated with being a public company.

We expect general and administrative expenses to continue to decline as a percentage of revenues as we continue to benefit from economies of scale and leverage synergies across the group.

Other operating income and expenses

Other operating income and expenses include foreign exchange gains or losses and impairment losses.

Other operating income and expenses decreased to €8.0 million loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from €8.4 million gain in the same period in 2022, mainly due to a foreign exchange loss of €8.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a gain of €8.0 million in the same period in 2022.

Loss from operations before non-underlying items

Loss from operations before non-underlying items for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by €8.2 million (or 13.3%) to €69.7 million, compared to €61.5 million in the same period in 2022. Loss from operations before non-underlying items as a percentage of total revenues increased to 32.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from 30.5% in the same period in 2022. The increase in loss from operations before non-underlying items was mainly due to the decrease in other operating income and expenses, and partially offset by an increase in gross profit.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-IFRS financial measure, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased to €(40.9) million from €(35.5) million in the same period in 2022. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in Lanvin’s revenues, resulting in lower fixed cost absorption, as well as an increased investment in selling and marketing expenses. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues decreased to (19.1)% in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from (17.6)% in the same period in 2022. See “—Non-IFRS Financial Measures.”

Non-underlying items

Non-underlying items comprise net gains on disposals, negative goodwill from acquisition of a subsidiary, gain on debt restructuring, government grants and others.

The non-underlying items was €9.7 million gain, or 4.5% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to €0.6 million gain or 0.3% of revenues in the same period in 2022. The increase in the non-underlying items by €9.1 million was mainly due to the government grants for St. John.

 

11


Operating loss

Operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to €60.0 million, a decrease of €0.9 million or 1.5%, compared to €60.9 million in the same period in 2022. The improvement in operating loss resulted from an increase in loss from operations before non-underlying items and offset by an increase of non-underlying items.

Finance cost—(net)

Finance costs (net) primarily include income and expenses relating to our interest income and expenses on financial assets and liabilities, including interest expense resulting from IFRS 16 lease liability.

Finance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to €12.0 million, an increase of €3.9 million or 48.1%, compared to finance costs of €8.1 million in the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net foreign exchange loss of €4.2 million.

Loss before income tax

Loss before income tax for the six months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to €72.0 million, an increase of €3.0 million or 4.3%, compared to €69.0 million in the same period in 2022.

Income tax benefits / (expenses)

Income taxes include the current taxes on the results of our operations and any changes in deferred income taxes.

Income tax expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to €0.3 million loss, decreased by €0.6 million, compared to €0.3 million gain in the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to €0.2 million deferred income taxes impact in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to €0.5 million in the same period in 2022.

Loss for the year

Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to €72.2 million, an increase of €3.5 million or 5.1%, compared to €68.7 million in the same period in 2022.

Revenues

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was €57.1 million, a decrease of €6.9 million or (10.8)% compared to €63.9 million in the same period in 2022.

The decrease is attributable to the brand’s focus on executing its creative transition and having comparatively fewer key product and marketing initiatives in the first half of 2023 compared to the first half of 2022 which featured a higher number of planned marketing campaigns and product launches. The creative transition entailed two key initiatives — the creation of Lanvin Lab and a dedicated team for leather goods and accessories.

DTC revenues decreased by 13.3% from €30.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, to €26.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The drop in DTC channels was mainly due to the lower sales from a softer North American market. EMEA DTC revenues decreased by €1.9 million (or 20.1% year-over-year) to €7.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Wholesale revenues decreased by 25.3% from €30.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, to €23.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, mainly due to some key wholesale marketing initiatives that largely contributed to wholesale revenues in the first half of 2022 that were not present in the first half of 2023. The wholesale revenues as percentage of Lanvin’s total revenues decreased from 48.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to 40.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Gross profit

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 grew to €32.0 million, an increase of €1.9 million or 6.4% compared to €30.0 million in the same period in 2022.

The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to the increase in gross profit margin, which is mainly driven by channel mix, the increase of leather goods and footwear products, and higher sell-through rates, as well as better inventory management.

Contribution profit/(loss)

Contribution loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was €4.8 million, a decrease of €0.5 million from the €4.3 million loss in the same period in 2022.

The increase in contribution loss was due to a planned increase in investment for marketing and selling expense. Going forward, we expect our marketing and selling expenses to continue to decline as a percentage of revenues as we scale and further improve our operational efficiency in stores and directly operated online channels.

Revenues

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 grew to €58.8 million, an increase of €4.5 million or 8.4% compared to €54.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

North American and EMEA regions were the key geographic growth drivers for Wolford, growing by 10.3% year-over-year to €14.2 million and by 4.9% year-over-year to €40.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. In Greater China, our business also increased by 46.7% to €4.1 million, mainly due to recovery from the negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic last year. The growth in all regions was led by our wholesales channels, which grew by 28.2% or €4.1 million from the six months ended June 30, 2022 to €18.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023. Overall revenues growth was also driven by price increases as well as strong sales from our athleisure collection “The W” (modern, young and sporty) which grew by 13.0% year-over-year in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased by €3.7million to €42.1million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to €38.4 million in the same period in 2022. Gross profit margin slightly increased to 71.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 70.7% in the same period in 2022.

The increase in gross profit margin was primarily attributable to decrease purchase of raw materials and manufacturing service in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 . The purchase of raw materials and manufacturing service as a percentage of revenues accounted for 8.5% of revenues (or €5.0 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 12.8% of revenues or €7.0 million in the same period in 2022, respectively.

Contribution profit/(loss)

Contribution profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was €3.9 million (or 6.7% of revenue), compared to a loss of €2.0 million (or (3.6)% of revenue) in the same period in 2022, driven by increased gross profit and decreased marketing and selling expenses. Marketing and selling expenses declined to €38.1 million (or 64.8% of revenues) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from €40.3 million (or 74.3% of revenues) in the same period in 2022.

The decrease in marketing and selling expenses was mainly due to an decrease in freight cost of €2.1 million and an decrease in advertising and marketing of €0.4 million. As a percentage of revenue, personnel costs decreased to 24.4% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 25.3% in the same period in 2022 due to healthy growth in the wholesale channel and closure of unprofitable stores.

Revenues

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to €46.7 million, an increase of €4.7 million compared to €41.9 million in the same period in 2022.

St. John grew its revenues by 11.3% year-over-year, driven by reduced discounting and an increased proportion of full-price sales at our DTC channels. DTC sales grew by €7.3 million (or 23.8%) to €37.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, mainly driven by growth in North America price increases, higher full-price sell-through and Greater China’s recovery from the negative impacts of the COVID-19 related restrictions. The comparably lower wholesale revenues was mainly due to a large one-time order from a large wholesale client in the first half of 2022, which did not occur in the first half of 2023.

Gross profit

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was €29.0 million, an increase of €3.3 million compared to €25.8 million in the same period in 2022. Gross profit margin improved to 62.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 61.4% in the same period in 2022. The improvement in gross margin was primarily driven by the launch of a new wholesale model with a large client (under which St. John owns the inventory and pays commissions to the wholesale stores to cover operating expenses) in February and reports in DTC margins rather than wholesale margins.

Contribution profit

Contribution profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was €5.3 million (or 11.4% of revenue), compared to €4.6 million (or 10.9% of revenue) in the same period in 2022, driven by increased gross profit. Marketing and selling expenses increased to €23.7 million (or 50.8% of revenue) in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from €21.2 million (or 50.5% of revenue) in the same period in 2022, mainly due to the payment of wholesale commissions.

Revenues

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to €33.0 million, an increase of €6.1 million compared to €27.0 million in the same period in 2022.

Sergio Rossi achieved double digit growth in revenues in EMEA, North America, and Greater China, which was attributed to both the DTC channel and wholesale business.

Revenues through our DTC channels increased by 15.0% from €14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, to €16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in DTC channels was mainly contributed by the strong revenues recovery in the Greater China market which grew by €1.9 million (or 45.6% year-over-year) to €5.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Revenues through our wholesale channel increased by 31.3% from €12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, to €16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Third-party production contributed to €7.6 million of wholesale revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to €2.9 million in the same period in 2022.

Gross profit

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was €17.1 million, an increase of €2.3 million compared to €14.8 million in the same period in 2022. Gross profit margin decreased to 51.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 54.9% in the same period in 2022. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to the increase of lower margin wholesale revenues and third-party production as a percentage of revenues. Excluding third-party production, gross profit margin was 64.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 60.3% in the same period in 2022.

Contribution profit

Contribution profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was €5.8 million (or 17.5% of revenue), compared to €3.6 million (or 13.4% of revenue) in the same period in 2022, driven by increased gross profit. Marketing and selling expenses increased slightly to €11.4 million (or 34.4% of revenue) in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from €11.2 million (or 41.5% of revenue) in the same period in 2022, which decreased significantly as a percent of revenues as we scaled revenue. Marketing and selling expenses were focused on enhancing the brand and improving sales channels in key strategic regions.

Revenues

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was €19.9 million, an increase of €5.0 million or 33.6% compared to €14.9 million in the same period in 2022.

The increase in revenues was mainly related to recovery of formal business wear resulting from the post-COVID-19 back-to-office trend, globally.

Gross profit

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was €5.2 million, an increase of €1.5 million compared to €3.7 million in the same period in 2022. Gross profit margin increased to 26.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 25.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to economies of scale and better management of labor costs.

Contribution profit

Contribution profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was €4.4 million (or 22.0% of revenue), compared to €3.1 million (or 20.5% of revenue) in the same period in 2022. The improvement in contribution profit was driven by the improvement of gross profit and operating leverage.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We and our portfolio brands’ principal sources of liquidity have been through issuance of preferred shares, loans from our shareholder Fosun International (including its subsidiaries and joint ventures), and bank borrowings, and which have historically been sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements. As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of €30.8 million.

Additionally, we have relied on liquidity provided by revenues generated from our operating activities. We require liquidity in order to meet our obligations and fund our business. Short-term liquidity is required to fund ongoing cash requirements, including to purchase inventory and to fund costs for services and other expenses. In addition to our general working capital and operational needs, our main use of cash is for capital expenditures related to the opening of new stores or the renovation of existing stores, and for acquisitions. In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken several measures to preserve our liquidity as described above. Taking into account the source of liquidity discussed above, we have not experienced any material adverse changes in our liquidity position since the completion of the Business Combination.

Net cash used in operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities increased by €6.3 million from €51.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to €58.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sales volumes, which resulted in (i) an increase in inventories of €5.8 million or 5.3% to €114.9 million as of June 30, 2023, and (ii) an increase in trade receivables of €1.9 million or 3.9% to €50.8 million as of June 30, 2023.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by €23.0 million from €5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to €28.5 million net cash used for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) the increase of payment for the purchase of long-term assets from €9.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 to €29.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, and (ii) the decrease in proceeds from disposal of long-term assets from €3.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 to €0.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Net cash flows generated from financing activities

Net cash flows generated from financing activities increased by €8.9 million from €17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to €26.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in cash flows from financing activities was primarily attributable to (i) an increase of proceeds from financing fund of €22.8 million, (ii) a decrease of repayment of borrowings of €6.2 million, and (iii) an increase of capital contribution from non-controlling interests of €5.6 million, partially offset by a decrease of proceeds from borrowings of €27.1 million and an increase of payment of borrowings interest of €2.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Borrowings

We enter into and manage debt facilities centrally in order to satisfy the short and medium-term needs of each of our subsidiaries based on criteria of efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Our portfolio brands have historically entered into and maintained with a diversified pool of lenders a total amount of committed credit lines that is considered consistent with their needs and suitable to ensure at any time the liquidity needed to satisfy and comply with all of their financial commitments, as well as guaranteeing an adequate level of operational flexibility for any expansion programs.

As of June 30, 2023, borrowings amounted to €9.5 million were guaranteed by a third-party SACE S.p.A., and borrowings amounted to €5.7 million were secured by pledges of our assets including property, plant and equipment, inventories and trade receivables.

Our unsecured borrowings are principally used for operations. As of June 30, 2023, the borrowings are at rates ranging from 0.0% to 10.0% per annum.

For additional information, see Note 18—Borrowings in the Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We are subject to certain covenants, including financial and otherwise, under our financing agreements. As of June 30, 2023, we were in material compliance with all covenants.

We may be subject to restrictions which limit our ability to use cash. In particular, our cash held at banks in China is subject to certain repatriation restrictions and may only be repatriated as dividends. We do not believe that such transfer restrictions have any adverse impacts on our ability to meet liquidity requirements. There was no restricted cash as of June 30, 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Recent Developments

See Note 24 — Subsequent events to the Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Semi-Annual Report.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Our management monitors and evaluates operating and financial performance using several non-IFRS financial measures including: contribution profit, contribution profit margin, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”), adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Our management believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding our performance and improve their ability to assess financial performance and financial position. They also provide comparable measures that facilitate management’s ability to identify operational trends, as well as make decisions regarding future spending, resource allocations and other operational decisions. While similar measures are widely used in the industry in which we operate, the financial measures that we use may not be comparable to other similarly named measures used by other companies nor are they intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance or financial position as prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Contribution profit and contribution profit margin

Contribution profit is defined as revenues less the cost of sales and selling and marketing expenses. Contribution profit margin is defined as contribution profit divided by revenue.

Contribution profit subtracts the main variable expenses of selling and marketing expenses from gross profit, and our management believes this measure is an important indicator of profitability at the marginal level.

Below contribution profit, the main expenses are general administrative expenses and other operating expenses (which include foreign exchange gains or losses and impairment losses). As we continue to improve the management of our portfolio brands, we believe we can achieve greater economy of scale across the different brands by maintaining the fixed expenses at a lower level as a proportion of revenue. We therefore use contribution profit margin as a key indicator of profitability at the group level as well as the portfolio brand level.

The table below reconciles revenues to contribution profit for the periods indicated.

Qualitative and Quantitative Information on Financial Risks

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. See Note 4.2—Financial risk factors to the Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Semi-Annual Report and Note 4.3—Financial risk factors to the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Our overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on our financial performance. We did not use any derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures.

 

21


Foreign exchange risk

We have a vast international presence, and therefore is exposed to the risk that changes in currency exchange rates could adversely impact revenue, expenses, margins and profit. Our management manages our foreign exchange risk by performing regular review.

Interest rate risk

We do not have any significant interest bearing financial assets or liabilities except for cash and cash equivalents and borrowings, details of which are disclosed in Notes 17 and 18 to the Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Semi-Annual Report and Notes 23 and 24 to Lanvin Group’s consolidated financial statements, respectively.

Our exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to our borrowings with floating interest rates. Our policy is to manage our interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debts. As of June 30, 2023, approximately 67.9% of our interest-bearing borrowings bore interest at fixed rates.

Credit risk

Credit risk is defined as the risk of financial loss caused by the failure of a counterparty to repay amounts owed or meet its contractual obligations. The maximum risk to which an entity is exposed is represented by all the financial assets recognized in the financial statements. Management considers our credit risk to relate primarily to trade receivables generated from the wholesale channel and mitigates the related effects through specific commercial and financial strategies.

With regards to trade receivables, credit risk management is carried out by monitoring the reliability and solvency of customers.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the difficulty we could have in meeting our financial obligations.

According to management, the funds and credit lines currently available, in addition to those that will be generated by operating and financing activities, will enable us to meet our financial requirement arising from investing activities, working capital management and punctual loan repayment as planned.

As of June 30, 2023, we had undrawn cash credit lines of $15.8 million available at banks.

(Unaudited)

 

1.

General information

Lanvin Group Holdings Limited (formerly known as Fosun Fashion Group Limited, and hereinafter referred to as “LGHL” or the “Company” and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, or any one or more of them, as the context may require, the “Lanvin Group” or the “Group”) is the holding company of the Lanvin Group and domiciled in Cayman Islands, the incorporation number of the Company is 382280 and the registered office is at PO Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands.

The Group is the leading global luxury fashion group, managing iconic brands worldwide including French couture house Lanvin, Italian luxury shoemaker Sergio Rossi, Austrian skinwear specialist Wolford, American womenswear brand St. John, and high-end Italian menswear maker Caruso. The Group’s brand portfolio covers a wide variety of fashion categories and leverages a combination of e-commerce, offline retail and wholesale channels, providing both growth opportunities as well as stability and resilience throughout the fashion cycle.

On March 23, 2022, Primavera Capital Acquisition Corporation (“PCAC”), Fosun Fashion Group (Cayman) Limited (“FFG”), Lanvin Group Heritage I Limited (“Merger Sub 1”) and Lanvin Group Heritage II Limited (“Merger Sub 2”) and the Company entered into the Business Combination Agreement that contemplated a series of transactions, which were ultimately completed on December 14, 2022 (the “Reverse Recapitalization”).

Following the completion of the Reverse Recapitalization, on December 15, 2022, LGHL’s ordinary shares and public warrants began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbols “LANV” and “LANV-WT”, respectively.

For more information relating to the Reverse Recapitalization, including a description of the transactions undertaken to complete the Reverse Recapitalization, reference should be made to Note 1 — General information to the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance with IFRS

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group (the “Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”), which have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those applied in the Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the adoption of new and amended standards as disclosed in Note 3.

 

F-6


Contents and structure of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the interim condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position, interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, interim condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity and the accompanying notes (the “Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”).

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Euro, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company, and amounts are stated in thousands of Euros, unless otherwise indicated.

Going concern

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Group has incurred operating losses of Euro59.98 million, and net losses of Euro72.23 million. The Group has an accumulated losses of Euro505.62 million as of June 30, 2023.

Management closely monitors the Group’s financial performance and liquidity position. Historically, the Group has been able to obtain debt and equity financing. The Group has funded operations primarily with issuances of preferred shares, long-term debt and net proceeds from revenues.

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis because one of the Company’s shareholders, Fosun International Limited, has committed to continue to provide adequate support for the Company to meet its obligations as they become due for at least 12 months from the issuance date of these financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management’s best judgment at the date of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the period in which the circumstances change. Reference should be made to the section “Use of estimates” in the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of the more significant valuation procedures used by the Group in preparing its consolidated financial statements. Moreover, in accordance with IAS 34, certain valuation procedures, in particular those of a more complex nature regarding matters such as any impairment of non-current assets, are only carried out in full during the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, other than in the event that there are indications of impairment, in which case an immediate assessment is performed. Similarly, the actuarial valuations that are required for the determination of employee benefit provisions are also usually carried out during the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, except in the event of significant market fluctuations, or significant plan amendments, curtailments or settlements.

IAS 8 Definition of Accounting Estimates

IAS 12 International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules (Amendments to IAS 12)

     May 23, 2023  

Except as described below, the accounting policies applied in these Interim Financial Statements are the same as those applied in the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The policy for recognising and measuring income taxes in the interim period is consistent with that applied in the comparative interim period except for the changes outlined below.

Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction

IAS 12.15(a)(iii), 22A, 24(c), Insights 3.13.213 The Group has adopted Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction – Amendments to IAS 12 from January 1, 2023. The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption to exclude transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences – e.g. leases and decommissioning liabilities. For leases and decommissioning liabilities, an entity is required to recognise the associated deferred tax assets and liabilities from the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, with any cumulative effect recognised as an adjustment to retained earnings or other components of equity at that date. For all other transactions, an entity applies the amendments to transactions that occur after the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The Group previously accounted for deferred tax on leases and decommissioning liabilities applying the ‘integrally linked’ approach, resulting in a similar outcome to the amendments, except that the deferred tax asset or liability was recognised on a net basis. Following the amendments, the Group has recognised a separate deferred tax asset in relation to its lease liabilities and a deferred tax liability in relation to its right-of-use assets. However, there was no impact on the statement of financial position because the balances qualify for offset under paragraph 74 of IAS 12. There was also no impact on the opening retained earnings as at January 1, 2022 as a result of the change. The key impact for the Group relates to disclosure of the deferred tax assets and liabilities recognised – this disclosure will be provided in the annual financial statements.

The change in accounting policy will also be reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending December 31, 2023.

Global minimum top-up tax

The Group has adopted International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules – Amendments to IAS 12 upon their release on 23 May 2023. The amendments provide a temporary mandatory exception from deferred tax accounting for the top-up tax, which is effective immediately, and require new disclosures about the Pillar Two exposure from 31 December 2023. The mandatory exception applies retrospectively. Entities are required to disclose the information relating to their exposure to Pillar Two income taxes in annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, but are not required to disclose such information for any interim periods ending on or before 31 December 2023. The Group has applied the amendments and the mandatory temporary exception retrospectively. The Group is currently assessing its risk exposure to Pillar Two Income taxes.

 

F-8


New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet effective

At the date of authorization of these consolidated financial statements, several new, but not yet effective, Standards and amendments to existing Standards, and Interpretations have been published by the IASB. None of these Standards or amendments to existing Standards have been adopted early by the Group.

 

New IFRS Standards and Amendments to existing standards    Effective date  

IAS 1 (Amendments) Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

     1 January 2024  

IAS 1 (Amendments) Non-current Liabilities with Covenants

     1 January 2024  

IFRS 16 (Amendments) Lease Liability in Sale and Leaseback

     1 January 2024  

Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted for the first period beginning on or after the effective date of the pronouncement. New Standards, amendments and Interpretations not adopted in the current year have not been disclosed as they are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Group continuously optimizes its capital structure to maximize shareholder value while keeping the financial flexibility to execute the strategic projects. The Group’s capital structure policy and framework aim to optimize shareholder value through cash flow distribution to the Group from its subsidiaries, while maintaining an investment-grade rating and minimizing investments with returns below the Group’s weighted average cost of capital.

Cash net of debt is defined as cash and cash equivalents minus non-current and current interest-bearing loans and borrowings and bank overdrafts. Cash net of debt is a financial performance indicator that is used by the Group’s management to highlight changes in the Group’s overall liquidity position.

4.2 Financial risk factors

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the financial risk management information and disclosures required in the full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no changes in the risk management policies during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

(a)

Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

The Group has a vast international presence, and therefore is exposed to the risk that changes in currency exchange rates could adversely impact revenue, expenses, margins and profit. The Group’s management assesses its foreign exchange risk by performing a regular review.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity at the end of the reporting period to a reasonably possible change in the main foreign currencies against the Euro, with all other variables held constant, of the Group’s loss before tax due to differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary assets and liabilities and the Group’s equity excluding the impact of accumulated losses due to the changes of exchange fluctuation reserve of certain overseas subsidiaries of which the functional currencies are currencies other than Euro.

(b)

Credit risk

Credit risk is defined as the risk of financial loss caused by the failure of a counterparty to repay amounts owed or meet its contractual obligations. The maximum risk to which an entity is exposed is represented by all the financial assets recognized in the financial statements. Management considers its credit risk to relate primarily to trade receivables generated from the wholesale channel and mitigates the related effects through specific commercial and financial strategies.

With regards to trade receivables, credit risk management is carried out by monitoring the reliability and solvency of customers.

(c)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the difficulty the Group could have in meeting its financial obligations.

According to management, the funds and credit lines currently available, in addition to those that will be generated by operating and financing activities, will enable the Group to meet its financial requirement arising from investing activities, working capital management and punctual loan repayment as planned.

As of June 30, 2023, the Group has undrawn cash credit lines of USD15.8 million (December 31, 2022: USD13.0 million) available at banks.

The table below analysis the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

Loss per share

Basic and diluted loss per share were calculated as the ratio of net profit or (loss) attributable to the shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of outstanding shares (basic and diluted) of the Company.

Additionally, because IFRS requires that the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for all periods presented be adjusted retrospectively when the number of ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares outstanding increases as a result of a capitalization, bond issue, or share split, or decreases as a result of a reverse share split, EPS calculations for the reporting period and the comparative period should be based on the new number of shares. Net loss per share and outstanding shares of potentially dilutive securities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 have been retrospectively restated as part of the Reverse Recapitalization, which was completed on December 14, 2022. For additional information related to the Reverse Recapitalization please refer to Note 1 — General information to the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to ordinary shares for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are calculated as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

 

     For the six months ended June 30,

As the Group incurred net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, basic loss per share was the same as diluted loss per share.

In the calculation of diluted earnings per shares, the warrants have been excluded as the average market price of ordinary shares during the period was lower than the exercise price of the warrants.

The following potentially dilutive outstanding securities were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per ordinary share because their effects would have been antidilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2023 or issuance of such shares is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions which were not satisfied by the end of the period:

As a result of Reverse Recapitalization, the Group assumed PCAC’s 20,699,969 public warrants and 11,280,000 private placement warrants, which automatically converted into warrants to purchase ordinary shares of Lanvin.

 

F-22


Each public warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of USD11.50 per share and may be exercised within 5 years from the completion of the Reverse Recapitalization. The public warrants may be redeemed by the Company:

 

   

at a price of USD0.01 per warrant, if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the LGHL ordinary shares equals or exceeds USD18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before sending the notice of redemption to each warrant holder;

 

   

at a price of USD0.10 per warrant, if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the LGHL ordinary shares equals or exceeds USD10.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before sending the notice of redemption to each warrant holder.

The exercise price and number of LGHL ordinary shares issuable on exercise of the public warrants, as well as the terms of redemption, may be subject to adjustments in certain circumstances, including, among other events, in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or LGHL’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.

Private placement warrants are identical to public warrants in all material respects, except that with respect to the private placement warrants held by the Sponsor, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, such private placement warrants (i) are not redeemable subject to limited exceptions, (ii) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder in the 30 days after the completion of the Reverse Recapitalization, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis, and (iv) are entitled to registration rights.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all of the public warrants and private placement warrants were outstanding and recognized as liabilities at fair value. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Group recorded warrant liabilities of Euro9,974 thousand which resulted in a gain on revaluation of Euro972 thousand.

Share capital

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the share capital amounted to Euro110, comprising 117,319,824 fully paid-up ordinary shares and one convertible preference share with a par value of USD0.000001. Excluding the 13,651,246 treasury shares, there were 117,319,825 shares issued and outstanding June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Ordinary share

LGHL ordinary shares have a par value of USD0.000001 and are ranked equally with regard to the LGHL’s residual assets. Amounts received above the par value are recorded as share premium. Each holder of LGHL ordinary shares will be entitled to one vote per share. LGHL ordinary shares are listed on NYSE under the trading symbol “LANV”.

Convertible preference share

The convertible preference share of the Company has a par value USD0.000001 per share, which is convertible into an aggregate number of up to 15,000,000 non-voting ordinary shares with a par value of USD0.000001 each and/or ordinary shares at the election of Meritz upon the occurrence of certain events.

Subsequent events

The Group has evaluated subsequent events through August 30, 2023 which is the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements were authorized for issuance, and identified the following events, all of which are non-adjusting as defined in IAS 10:

St. John Mexico operations transition plan

On May 11, 2023, a St. John Mexico operations transition plan was approved by the Board of Directors of St. John Knits lnternational, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“SJKI”) and St. John Knits, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of SJKI (“SJK” and together with SJKI, the “Corporations”). The Board deems it in the best interest of the Corporations and of their subsidiary, St. John de Mexico S.A “SJMexico”) to proceed with the transition plan recommended by St. John Management to the Board which concerns a wind-down of the operations of the manufacturing facility property owned by SJMexico. On around July 3, 2023, SJK management informed SJMexico and its employees that the Mexico factory would cease production. The layoff is in progress in order, and the production cessation is expected to be completed by early September 2023. The SJK management is assessing and exploring the opportunities for the sale or lease of the factory. After the production cessation, the manufacturing which used to be in the scope of SJMexico is planned to be outsourced to third parties. The factory will maintain a minimum headcount for security and accounting/annual audit purposes etc till the end of the year.

Shareholder Loan

On August 29, 2023, Fosun International Limited committed to offer Lanvin Group Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries their continuing support as a key stakeholder by, subject to terms and conditions to be mutually agreed, providing equity/debt capital of up to USD20 million by way of immediately available cash by October 31, 2023.
