DGAP-Adhoc: Bike24 Holding AG: Adjustment of guidance for fiscal year 2022

Dresden, July 20, 2022 // Bike24 Holding AG (the "Company"), one of the leading online retailers around cycling, revises its guidance for the fiscal year 2022 as a result of a further deterioration of macroeconomic conditions during the second quarter. This trend has continued since the beginning of the third quarter.

Previously, the Company's guidance of March 30, 2022 assumed revenue growth of +10% to +17% and an adjusted EBITDA margin between +9% and +10% for the current fiscal year. This guidance was specified upon publication of the results for the first quarter of 2022 in May 2022 to the effect that, due to the difficult overall macroeconomic situation, results at the lower end of the forecast ranges were expected.

Since the end of March 2022, the macroeconomic conditions have deteriorated further. Therefore, the Company now assumes that consumer sentiment will be negatively impacted for the longer term because of the adverse macroeconomic conditions.

With regard to the business performance, the Company now expects revenue growth of -5% to +5% and an adjusted EBITDA margin between +3% and +6% for the fiscal year 2022.

For the definition of the alternative performance measure "adjusted EBITDA margin", the Company refers to the related definition in its Annual Report 2021, which has been published on the Company's website.
