NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.Reporting entity

 

Cazoo Holdings Limited (the ‘Company’, ‘Cazoo’ or ‘the Group’) is a limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom incorporated on February 7, 2020. The Company’s registered office is at 41 Chalton Street, London, NW1 1JD. The Company’s principal activity is the operation of an e-commerce platform for buying used cars.

 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the accounts of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (“its subsidiaries”).

 

2.Basis of preparation

 

This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended June 30, 2021 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim report does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2020. The interim report does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended December 31, 2020, which contained an unqualified audit report under Section 495 of the Companies Act 2006 (which did not make any statements under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006), will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies.

 

Except as described in 2.2. below, the accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

2.1.Going concern

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Directors’ are satisfied that the Group will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In assessing the going concern position of the Group, the Directors have considered the Group’s cash flows, liquidity and business activities. As at June 30, 2021, the Group had net assets of £306.3 million and a cash balance of £60.3 million.

 

The Group has raised additional capital of $836 million after fees in the third quarter of 2021 through a business combination with Ajax I; a special purpose acquisition company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “business combination”). The additional capital will fund Cazoo’s growth strategy in the UK and across Europe. The business combination was approved by both the shareholders of Cazoo Holdings Limited and Ajax I and the transaction was completed on August 26, 2021. On this basis the Directors are satisfied that the interim accounts should be prepared on a going concern basis and that the Group will continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the issuance of the interim financial statements.

 

2.2.New accounting policies

 

2.2.1.Retail revenue

 

Retail revenue also includes the sale of a small number of vehicles where Cazoo acts as an agent and receives a fixed commission from the supplier when the vehicle is sold. Under IFRS 15 only the net commission received from these sales is recorded within revenue, with 100% of that revenue contributing towards gross profit. Any ancillary revenue earned on the transaction continues to be recognised separately.

  

7

 

 

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

2.2.2.Other revenue

 

Revenue from the Cazoo Subscription Service is recognised under IFRS 16 and as such is recognised on a straight-line basis over the contract period and presented as part of ‘other revenue’ within the breakdown of revenue in the statement of profit or loss. The Cazoo Subscription Service allows customers to subscribe for a vehicle over a period of time for a monthly fee as an alternative to ownership.

 

Revenue from provision of related services such as maintenance and breakdown are recognised in accordance with IFRS 15 – overtime, as the services are provided.

 

2.2.3.Leasing

 

Group acting as a lessor

 

The subscription of vehicles to customers is recognised under IFRS 16. When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at the lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.

 

To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

 

When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the short-term lease exemption, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

 

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, then the Group applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

 

The Group recognises lease payments received under operating leases as revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of ‘other sales’.

 

Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. The Group recognises finance income over the lease term, reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the Group’s net investment in the lease. The Group applies the derecognition and impairment requirements in IFRS 9 to the net investment in the lease. The Group further regularly reviews estimated unguaranteed residual values used in calculating the gross investment in the lease.

 

2.2.4.Foreign currency

 

Foreign currency transactions

 

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the Group’s functional currency (Pounds Sterling) at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

 

Foreign currency differences are recognised in profit or loss and presented within finance costs.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

Foreign operations

 

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition are translated at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

 

Foreign currency differences are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) and accumulated in the translation reserve.

 

2.2.5.Intangible assets

 

For specific acquisitions, the Group has identified intangible assets in respect of customer relationships and brands. The values of these intangibles are recognised as part of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired.

 

Intangible assets that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

 

Amortisation is calculated to write-off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and is recognised in profit or loss.

 

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

  Customer relationships Over the period of the expected benefit, between 2 to 6 years
  Brand name Over the period of use in the business, up to 3 years

 

2.3.New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

 

The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. Several amendments apply for the first time in 2021, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

 

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2: Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16

 

The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR). The amendments include the following practical expedients:

 

A practical expedient to require contractual changes, or changes to cash flows that are directly required by the reform, to be treated as changes to a floating interest rate, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest.

 

Permit changes required by IBOR reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued.

 

Provide temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component.

 

These amendments had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group intends to use the practical expedients in future periods if they become applicable.

4.Business Combinations

 

4.1.Drover Limited

 

On January 25, 2021, Cazoo Holdings Limited acquired 100% of the share capital of Drover Limited (“Drover”) for a total consideration of £65.4 million, as measured in accordance with IFRS 3. The acquisition balance sheet includes £4.0 million of cash on balance sheet. Total consideration net of cash acquired was £61.4 million.

  

Drover is car subscription service with operations in the United Kingdom and France. Founded in 2016, Drover provided a monthly car subscription service, including maintenance, servicing, tax, breakdown cover and optional insurance, allowing its customers to choose from over 50 different models, all available online. The Group acquired Drover to accelerate its entry into the car subscription market and the acquisition provided the Group an existing customer base of over 2,000 active subscribers in the UK as well as a nascent subscriber base in France along with the associated recurring revenues.

 

The purchase has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method in accordance with IFRS 3. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Drover for the period from the acquisition date.

 

In calculating goodwill arising from the acquisition, the fair value of net assets acquired was assessed and no material adjustments from book value were made to existing assets and liabilities. The Group has recognised a number of separately identifiable intangible assets as part of the acquisition, details of the provisional amounts are set out in the table below.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021

 

4.1.Drover Limited (Continued)

 

The fair value of the ordinary shares issued at the date of acquisition was determined as £10.6 per ordinary share. This is consistent with an independent valuation of the Group’s ordinary shares at the last funding round.

 

At the date of the acquisition, the carrying amount of trade and other receivables was £4.9 million and all of this was expected to be collectible in the short term. As such, there was no difference between the carrying amount and fair value of trade and other receivables at the date of acquisition.

 

The Group measured the acquired lease liabilities using the present value of the remaining lease payments at the date of acquisition. The right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities and adjusted to reflect the unfavourable terms of the lease relative to market terms.

 

Software acquired represents Drover’s subscription platform system that has been developed in-house and is considered to be Drover owned intellectual property. The platform underpins Drover’s business allowing customers to book, pay and manage their subscriptions.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Group launched the Cazoo Subscription Service, bringing the technology and subscription offering previously provided by Drover under the Cazoo brand. Accordingly, the Drover brand was considered to be fully impaired during the period and has been written off to the profit or loss account.

 

Goodwill is attributable mainly to the skills and technical talent of Drover’s workforce, and the synergies expected to be achieved from integrating the company into the Group’s existing standard car business.

 

Upon acquisition, warrants were issued as consideration giving the holders the right to purchase ordinary share capital of Cazoo Holdings Limited at the next funding round at a 20 percent discount to the equity share price of that round. The benefit gained by the warrant holders is a fixed value and therefore the warrants have been recorded as a financial liability. As at the date of this report all warrant liabilities have been extinguished as part of the Group’s listing on the New York Stock Exchange.

 

From the date of acquisition to June 30, 2021, Drover has contributed £4.8 million of revenue and £3.6 million to the Group’s loss before tax. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2021, management estimates that the Group’s revenue from continuing operations would have been £248.9 million and the loss from continuing operations for the period would have been £102.7 million.

 

Transaction costs of £0.8 million have been expensed and are included in administrative expenses in the statement of profit or loss and are part of operating cash flows in the statement of cash flows.

4.2.Smart Fleet Solutions Limited

 

On February 11, 2021 Cazoo Holdings Limited acquired 100% of the share capital of Smart Fleet Solutions Limited (“Smart Fleet”) for consideration of £23.2 million, in accordance with IFRS 3. The acquisition balance sheet includes £0.7 million of cash on balance sheet. Total consideration net of cash acquired was £22.5 million for the equity of Smart Fleet.

 

At the time of the transaction, the Group also acquired £15.9 million of freehold property relating to reconditioning sites operated by Smart Fleet owned by the previous shareholders. Total consideration recognised in accordance with IFRS 3 is therefore £39.1 million.

 

Smart Fleet is a vehicle refurbishment business operating four state-of-the-art vehicle refurbishment centres across the UK and provides the Group with the capacity to refurbish approximately 200,000 cars per year across all its sites, reducing its reliance on any third-party providers. Smart Fleet’s team of over 500 vehicle refurbishment and logistics staff also provide significant expertise. In addition, Smart Fleet has in place a number of third-party contracts which are strategically beneficial to the Group. The Group acquired Smart Fleet for its UK-wide infrastructure and expertise in the refurbishment of used cars, which is expected to enhance the Group’s ability to operate at scale. The purchase has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method in accordance with IFRS 3. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Smart Fleet for the period from the acquisition date.

 

In calculating goodwill arising from the acquisition, the fair value of net assets acquired was determined. Adjustments to book value were made in the recognition of market value of real estate leases and the fair value of freehold property. The Group has also recognised a number of separately identifiable intangible assets as part of the acquisition, details of the provisional amounts are set out in the table below.

4.2.Smart Fleet Solutions Limited (Continued)

 

The fair value of the ordinary shares issued at the date of acquisition was determined as £10.6 per ordinary share. This is consistent with an independent valuation of the Group’s ordinary shares at the last funding round.

 

At the date of the acquisition, the carrying amount of trade and other receivables was £7.3 million and all of this was expected to be collectible in the short term. As such, there was no difference between the carrying amount and fair value of trade and other receivables at the date of acquisition.

 

The Group measured the acquired lease liabilities using the present value of the remaining lease payments at the date of acquisition. The right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities and adjusted to reflect the unfavourable terms of the lease relative to market terms.

 

An intangible asset has been recognised for significant customer relationships as future economic benefit is expected to arise from Smart Fleet existing customer relationships. Smart Fleet provides vehicle refurbishment to a small number of customers for which it holds long term relationships.

 

Goodwill is attributable mainly to the skills and technical talent of Smart Fleet’s workforce, and the synergies expected to be achieved from integrating the company into the Group’s existing car refurbishment process, significantly increasing in-house capacity.

 

From the date of acquisition to June 30, 2021, Smart Fleet has contributed £11.6 million of revenue and £1.4 million to loss before tax to the Group. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2021, management estimates that the Group’s revenue from continuing operations would have been £251.6 million and the loss from continuing operations for the period would have been £102.5 million.

 

Transaction costs of £2.0 million have been expensed and are included in administrative expenses in the statement of profit or loss and are part of operating cash flows in the statement of cash flows.

4.2.Cluno GmbH

 

On February 23, 2021 the Cazoo Holdings Limited acquired 100% of the share capital of Cluno Gmbh (“Cluno”) for a total consideration of £60.4 million (€69.7 million), as measured in accordance with IFRS 3. The acquisition balance sheet includes £8.6 million of cash. Total consideration net of cash acquired was £51.8 million.

 

Cluno is a German car subscription services company, with a business similar to Drover and a team of approximately 100 employees based in Munich. Cluno offers a monthly subscription that includes all car expenses other than fuel, with a six-month minimum term per car in Germany with 100 different models from 15 different brands. Cluno has an experienced team and strong supplier and EU-partner relationships. The Group acquired Cluno to accelerate its entry into the EU market and the acquisition provided the Group an existing customer base of over 3,000 active subscribers in Germany along with the associated recurring revenues and a strong team to help launch the Cazoo proposition in Germany and across Europe.

 

The purchase has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method in accordance with IFRS 3. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Smart Fleet for the period from the acquisition date.

 

In calculating goodwill arising from the acquisition, the fair value of net assets acquired was assessed and no material adjustments from book value were made to existing assets and liabilities.

4.3.Cluno GmbH (Continued)

 

The fair value of the ordinary shares issued at the date of acquisition was determined as £10.6 per ordinary share. This is consistent with an independent valuation of the Group’s ordinary shares at the last funding round.

 

At the date of the acquisition, the carrying amount of trade and other receivables was £5.5 million and all of this was expected to be collectible in the short term. As such, there was no difference between the carrying amount and fair value of trade and other receivables at the date of acquisition.

 

The Group measured the acquired lease liabilities using the present value of the remaining lease payments at the date of acquisition. The right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities and adjusted to reflect the unfavourable terms of the lease relative to market terms.

 

Software acquired represents Cluno’s subscription platform system that has been developed in-house and is considered to be Cluno owned intellectual property. The platform underpins Cluno’s business allowing customers to book, pay and manage their subscriptions.

 

Cluno is Germany’s leading car subscription provider. The brand is considered to be highly recognisable in Germany.

 

Goodwill is attributable mainly to the skills and technical talent of Cluno’s workforce, and the synergies expected to be achieved from integrating the company into the Group’s existing standard car business.

 

From the date of acquisition to June 30, 2021, Cluno has contributed £4.5 million of revenue and £5.0 million to loss before tax to the Group. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2021, management estimates that the Group’s revenue from continuing operations would have been £250.1 million and the loss from continuing operations for the period would have been £104.2 million.

 

Transaction costs of £0.9 million have been expensed and are included in administrative expenses in the statement of profit or loss and are part of operating cash flows in the statement of cash flows.

 

5.Taxation

 

The Group calculates the period income tax expense using the tax rate that would be applicable to the expected total annual earnings. The major components of income tax expense in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss are:

 

   June 30
2021
£’000
   June 30
2020
£’000
 
         
Current income tax expense   (24)   
                -
 
Deferred tax credit relating to origination and reversal of temporary differences   7,350    
-
 
           
Income tax credit recognised in statement of profit or loss   7,326    
-
 

 

A deferred tax liability arises due to a purchase price adjustment on the acquisition of subsidiaries where the fair value of intangible assets exceeded the tax basis in the subsidiaries. A deferred tax asset on losses is only recognised to the extent that it reduces the deferred tax liability arising to nil due to uncertainty of recoverability.

  13.1. The business combination

 

On March 29, 2021, Ajax I, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Ajax”), Cazoo and Capri Listco, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Listco”), entered into the Business Combination Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment thereto, dated as of May 14, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), which, among other things, provided that (i) Ajax would merge with and into Listco, with Listco continuing as the surviving company, and (ii) Listco would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cazoo via exchange for a combination of shares of Listco and cash consideration (the “Business Combination”).

 

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, shareholders of Ajax and Cazoo became shareholders of Listco, and Listco changed its name to “Cazoo Group Ltd.” Upon consummation of the Business Combination the Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A Shares”) and warrants of Cazoo Group Ltd became listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols “CZOO” and “CZOO WS,” respectively. The transaction shall be treated as a “reverse acquisition” where Cazoo Holdings Limited is identified as accounting acquirer. The operations of the Group substantially comprise the ongoing operations of the combined company.

 

  13.2. Additional stocking facility

 

During August 2021, the Group entered into a €20 million stocking facility to finance the purchase of retail cars in Europe.

 

  13.3. Acquisition of Cazana Limited

 

On September 2, 2021, Cazoo Holdings Limited acquired Cazana Limited (‘Cazana’) for net consideration of approximately £25 million in cash.

 

Founded in 2012, Cazana has grown to a team of more than 50 staff including data scientists and engineers headquartered in London. Cazana has built an extensive dataset of over 500 million historic vehicle transactions from a range of countries, including the UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy, and its tools are used by car manufacturers, lenders, fleet owners and insurers.

 

Cazana’s products include real-time vehicle valuation, pricing and stock management tools, and the Group’s acquisition of Cazana will combine its brand, proposition and platform with Cazana’s extensive data, products and expertise. The Group anticipates the deal will enhance its data team and capabilities and allow the Group to further optimise its car buying and pricing across the UK & Europe for the benefit of consumers.

  13.4. Acquisition of SMH Fleet Solutions Limited

 

On September 15, 2021, Cazoo Holdings Limited acquired SMH Fleet Solutions Limited (‘SMH’) for a cash consideration of approximately £70 million, net of cash acquired.

 

Established in 2003, SMH has a team of over 500 expert staff and has the capacity to process 70,000 vehicle refurbishments annually from five vehicle preparation sites across 136 acres in Bedford, Gloucester, Throckmorton, Worcester and St Helens. SMH also carries out over 150,000 vehicle movements per year with a team of over 300 logistics specialists as well as operating an online wholesale platform for used cars.

 

The combination of Cazoo’s online retail platform and brand with SMH’s leading infrastructure and expertise will double Cazoo’s overall vehicle reconditioning, logistics and storage capabilities in the UK with 10 total sites across more than 265 acres, as well as providing it with an experienced team of hundreds of additional vehicle preparation and logistics specialists and its own digital wholesale platform.

 

As of the date of this report, management has not completed its purchase price allocation exercise for the above acquisitions. Full details of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired are not available yet and will be provided in the Group’s results for the year ended December 31, 2021.
