HomeToGo SE
Combined Management Report for Financial Year 2022
1. Background to the Group
1.1. General
HomeToGo SE, Luxembourg is a public European company (Société Européenne) that is listed on the Frankfurt
Stock Exchange, having its registered office at 9, rue de Bitbourg, L-1273 Luxembourg, Luxembourg, and
registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés de
Luxembourg) under number B249273.
This Management Report comprises both the Group Management Report and the Management Report of
HomeToGo SE. Herein, we report on the business performance as well as the situation and expected
development of HomeToGo Group (hereafter also referred to as "HomeToGo" or "Group") and HomeToGo SE
(hereafter also referred to as "Company").
1.2. Business Model
The HomeToGo Group operates an international marketplace for vacation rentals, which connects millions of
users in their search for a place to stay with thousands of inventory suppliers across the globe, resulting in the
world’s most comprehensive inventory coverage in the alternative accommodation space. At the time of the
report, the portfolio of HomeToGo comprises more than 15 million (2021: 15 million) aggregated
accommodation offers provided by more than 60,000 (2021: 31,000) online travel agencies, tour operators,
property managers and other inventory suppliers (“Partners”) worldwide.
HomeToGo operates its business through local websites and apps in 25 countries. Besides the main brand
HomeToGo the international market appearance is carried out through further various brands like Agriturismo,
AMIVAC, Atraveo, Casamundo, CaseVacanza, e-domizil, EscapadaRural, Tripping, Wimdu, as well as software
brands SECRA and Smoobu. The HomeToGo marketplace integrates a vast inventory in one platform and
enables users to book accommodations from diverse partners, either on the Partners’ external websites or
directly on the HomeToGo platform. Furthermore, the Group offers software-as-a-service ("SaaS") products for
semi-professional agencies and homeowners, which enables them to centrally control their listings and
coordinate their actions across multiple platforms. We also effectively improve the quality and synchronization
of the existing inventory for our Partners, in particular online travel agencies ("OTAs") and property managers,
and grant them access to technology services and qualified demand that otherwise would not be easily
available to them.
As an internet marketplace, HomeToGo sees itself as an entry opportunity in the search for a vacation rental.
With our Onsite solution, there is an option to directly book with the connected Partners via HomeToGo. The
use of the platform is thereby free of charge for users. Instead, HomeToGo receives a commission from the
connected booking partner for every successful referral of a booking or for the generation of a query,
respectively.
1.3. Group Structure
HomeToGo Group is managed by its ultimate parent company HomeToGo SE and is operated under one
segment. The Group comprises the parent entity, HomeToGo SE, domiciled in Luxembourg and serving as
holding entity, and its main operating subsidiaries in Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Lithuania and the US.
As of December 31, 2022, HomeToGo SE had direct or indirect shareholdings in 15 companies, which belong to
the Group and from which all are fully consolidated.
4
Continuing the M&A-strategy during financial year 2022 the scope of consolidation was further increased by
the acquisitions of the operational entities AMIVAC SAS ("AMIVAC"), e-domizil subgroup ("e-domizil") that
consists of e-domizil GmbH, Atraveo GmbH and e-domizil AG, as well as SECRA Bookings GmbH and SECRA
GmbH (together "SECRA"). All of them were acquired to further strengthen the Group's position especially in
the Subscriptions & Services sector of the alternative accommodation industry, but also increasing its inventory
reach.
Effective January 1, 2022, LS I Advisors Verwaltungs-GmbH, Munich, Germany, HS Holiday Search GmbH, Berlin,
Germany, Mertus 288. GmbH, Berlin, Germany, and Mapify UG (haftungsbeschränkt) ("with limited liability"),
Kassel, Germany were merged onto HomeToGo GmbH, all four entities ceased to exist. Furthermore, effective
March 29, 2022 LS I Advisors GmbH & Co. KG, Munich, Germany was merged onto HomeToGo SE and also
ceased to exist.

1.4. Management System
The governing bodies of the Group are the Management Board, the Supervisory Board and the Shareholders’
Meeting of HomeToGo SE. Detailed information on the composition of Management and Supervisory Board can
be found on the Investor Relations website of the Company https://ir.hometogo.de/websites/hometogo/
English/5000/corporate-governance.html.
The Management Board monitors and controls the Group’s development through a comprehensive reporting
system. The Management Board reporting informs in detail on current developments in the operating business
in the form of absolute and relative key figures.
The Supervisory Board receives a monthly report including an income statement which provides a
comprehensive picture of HomeToGo Group’s economic position. Significant items and their changes are
explained and discussed in detail in regular meetings between the Management Board and the Supervisory
Board.
HomeToGo's core financial key performance indicators (KPIs) for the management of the Group are Booking
Revenues, Onsite Booking Revenues, IFRS Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA. Besides IFRS Revenues, the
Management Board uses the non-GAAP KPIs Booking Revenues, Onsite Booking Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA
as Management believes that they enhance investors' ability to evaluate and assess the underlying financial
performance of the Group's continuing operations and the related key strategic business drivers. They are
additional core metrics used by the Management Board internally to support operating decisions, including
those related to evaluating performance, analyzing operating expenses, performing strategic planning and
5
annual budgeting. These additional core metrics should not be considered as a substitute for measures of
financial performance, financial position or cash flows reported in accordance with IFRS.
Booking Revenues is used in addition to IFRS Revenues as it allows to measure performance as soon as
bookings and clicks are made by the traveler. Revenues from Subscription & Services are considered equally for
Booking Revenues as under IFRS to complement the view. Thus, Booking Revenues provide the best view to
forecast the development of our IFRS Revenues and at the same time better match to the corresponding
marketing expenses.
Onsite Booking Revenues are a subset of Booking Revenues and one of our strategic focus areas for the
generation of growth with higher profitability. Onsite Share measures the penetration of our Partner base with
our Onsite Product.
Adjusted EBITDA is used as an additional metric to Net Income to assess the Group's performance as it presents
the sustainable operational performance of the business. Adjusted EBITDA is close to cash flows generated and
thus provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons.
6
Definitions for all of our four core metrics are outlined in the following table:
Booking Revenues*
Booking Revenues is a non-GAAP operating metric to measure performance that is
defined as the net Euro value of bookings before cancellations generated by
transactions on the HomeToGo platforms in a reporting period (CPA, CPC, CPL and
Subscriptions & Services). Booking Revenues do not correspond to, and should not be
considered as alternative or substitute for IFRS Revenues recognized in accordance
with IFRS. Contrary to IFRS Revenues, Booking Revenues are recorded at the point in
time when the booking is made. Revenues from Subscription & Services are
considered equally for Booking Revenues as under IFRS to complement the view.
Please find the reconciliation to IFRS Revenues as the closest GAAP measure under
2.2 Business Development.
Onsite Booking Revenues and
Onsite Share*
Onsite Booking Revenues are a subset of Booking Revenues. Onsite Bookings occur
when the complete user journey is conducted on HomeToGo domains. Onsite Share is
defined as ratio of Onsite CPA Booking Revenues to Booking Revenues excluding
Booking Revenues from Subscriptions & Services that measures the penetration of
our Partner base with our Onsite Product. Onsite Bookings allow the Group to realize
a higher Take Rate and to establish a closer relationship with the user, which leads to
lower marketing expenses over time. Both effects result in a higher profitability of the
Group. Please find the reconciliation to IFRS Revenues as the closest GAAP measure
under 2.2 Business Development.
IFRS Revenues
Revenues according to IFRS accounting policies. CPA IFRS Revenues are recognized on
check-in date. CPC and CPL Revenues are recognized on booking or click date. IFRS
Revenues from Subscriptions & Services are recognized over time or when services
are provided. HomeToGo generates revenue through the following main revenue
types:
•Cost per Action (“CPA”): CPA is the largest revenue stream, whereby HomeToGo
receives a percentage-based commission for successful onsite- or offsite booking
referrals, which facilitate a stay. Depending on the contractual terms with the
respective partner, the revenue for HomeToGo is either calculated as percentage
of the commission or as percentage of the booking value (sometimes called
revenue share).
•Cost per Click (“CPC”) HomeToGo receives a fixed commission based on every
successful referral click.
•Cost per Lead (“CPL”): HomeToGo receives a fixed commission based on every
successful referral inquiry (lead).
•Subscriptions & Services are related to subscription-based revenue from Partners
who can use the platform for listing of their rental objects over a determined
period.
Adjusted EBITDA*
Net income (loss) before
(i) income taxes;
(ii) finance income, finance expenses;
(iii) depreciation and amortization;
adjusted for
(iv) expenses for share-based compensation and
(v) one-off items. One-off items relate to one-time and therefore non-recurring
expenses and income outside the normal course of operational business. Among
others those would include for example income and expenses for business
combinations and other merger & acquisitions (M&A) activities, litigation,
restructuring, government grants and other items that are not recurring on a regular
basis and thus impede comparison of the underlying operational performance
between financial periods. Please find the reconciliation from Profit/Loss from
operations to Adjusted EBITDA under 2.3 Results of Operations.

In addition to the above, HomeToGo uses a range of further KPIs - both financial and non-financial - to support
its business. These further KPIs are a function of our core financial KPI Booking Revenues. Thus, the
Management Board uses these historical KPIs to further assess operating performance and as a basis for
strategic planning. The Management Board believes that such KPIs will also be used by investors and analysts in
addition to our four core financial metrics described above to assess the performance of HomeToGo.
7
Overview of our further financial KPIs (non-GAAP):
Gross Booking Value (GBV)*
GBV is the gross EUR value of bookings on our platform in a reporting period
(including all components of the booking amount except for VAT). GBV is recorded at
the time of booking and is not adjusted for cancellations or any other alterations after
booking. For CPA transactions, GBV includes the booking volume as reported by the
Partner. For CPC, GBV is estimated by multiplying the total click value with the
expected conversion rate. The total click value is the duration of the search multiplied
with the price per night of the clicked offer. This total click value is multiplied with the
average conversion rate of that micro conversion source for CPA Partners in the
respective month. Please find the reconciliation to IFRS Revenues under 2.2 Business
Development.
CPA Take Rate*
CPA Take Rate is the margin realized on the gross booking amount and defined as CPA
Booking Revenues divided by GBV from CPA Booking Revenues (excl. Revenues from
Hotels and Subscriptions & Services). Please find the reconciliation to IFRS Revenues
under 2.2 Business Development.
Cancellation Rate
Cancellation Rate reflects the share of Booking Revenues that are cancelled
subsequently, however, before being recognized as IFRS Revenues. This metric is not
actively used for steering of the Group, but it is monitored continuously and used for
forecasting and budget planning. Please find the reconciliation to IFRS Revenues under
2.2 Business Development.
* unaudited
Our non-financial KPIs are defined as follows:
Bookings*
Bookings represent the number of bookings generated by users of the HomeToGo
platforms. Please find the reconciliation to IFRS Revenues under 2.2 Business
Development.
CPA Basket Size*
CPA Basket Size is defined as CPA Gross Booking Value per booking, before
cancellations. Please find the reconciliation to IFRS Revenues under 2.2 Business
Development.
* unaudited
1.5. Research & Development
As a technology company, HomeToGo undertakes development in view of optimizing the search intelligence,
software solutions provided to its Partners and users of SaaS products and develops self-used IT modules. The
technical platform, on the basis of which the Group’s websites and apps are operated, is an important
differentiating factor compared to competitors, being continuously further developed in line with the
requirements of the market and the expectations of the users. In-house and external experts engage with the
continuous development of the platform. Our R&D work aims at achieving innovations that support a more
convenient booking experience for our customers. Furthermore, we aim at ensuring our market leadership as
the marketplace with the world's largest selection of alternative accommodation. In this regard, the Lithuanian
subsidiaries, UAB HomeToGo Technologies and UAB HomeToGo Technologies Vilnius, play a major role in
performing most of the development services for the HomeToGo Group.
Over the past year, HomeToGo continued to enhance its platform mainly by offering further products and
services as well as by adding features improving the booking experience to generate additional Revenues or
increasing cost efficiency. HomeToGo also consolidated technologies within the Group following acquisitions,
enabling more of the brands within the Group to take advantage of the existing and continuously enhanced
platform technology while strategically extending HomeToGo's distribution network.
The Group’s direct R&D expenses in 2022 amounted to EUR 13.1 million (2021: EUR 8.2 million), resulting in 
R&D expenses in relation to HomeToGo’s IFRS Revenues 9% (2021: 9%). The capitalization ratio amounts to
29% (2021: 19%) and amortization allocatable to capitalized development expenses amounted to EUR 1.1
million (2021: EUR 0.5 million). The increase in capitalization ratio is due a higher focus on development
projects for new products and projects leading to substantial enhancements as well as an improved effort
capturing of the value creation in our product development process.
HomeToGo SE as an individual entity and pure financial holding does not conduct any operations related to
research and development.

2. Report on Economic Position
2.1. Macroeconomic and Sector-specific Environment
At the time of the publication of our Combined Management Report, the economic environment was impacted
by the aftermath of the ongoing war in Ukraine and persistent supply chain frictions, particularly in China, with
significant effects on energy prices and a tightening monetary policy as a reaction to the highest inflation rates
since the 1970s. This has led to consumer sentiment indicators to decline with the Consumer Confidence
Indicator (CCI)1 of the European Commission and the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index2 being at
low levels.
Furthermore, it is projected by the International Monetary Fund3 that the growth of the global economy will
experience a slow down to 2.7% in 2023 compared to 3.2% in 2022. UBS Investment Bank is expecting 13 out of
32 economies to contract for at least two quarters by the end of 2023. Fading Covid-19 reopening tailwinds,
uncertainty in Europe over energy rationing, labor supply shortages, monetary tightening and negative real
wage growth are all pulling down on growth. In the other direction, inflation is not expected to move to a
structurally higher level after the pandemic and therefore central banks are expected to ease interest rates
from current levels in 2023. Labor markets in the Eurozone have been unimpaired from the macroeconomic
distress in 2022. In a more cautious view the OECD is expecting inflation rates to remain high with 6.6% year-
on-year in 2023, due to rising energy prices, it is expected that tighter monetary policy and decelerating growth
will help to eventually moderate inflation.
According to UBS Research, 2021 Eurozone surveys were suggesting that households were delaying spending,
waiting for Covid-19 mobility restrictions to be removed.4 Despite adverse macroeconomic effects in the
financial year 2022, the travel industry has shown a strong recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic and reached
pre-pandemic levels in Germany in the third quarter of 2022.5 The travel sector is thereby benefiting from pent-
up demand after two years of subdued travel due to Covid-19-related travel restrictions.6 According to
proprietary survey data of UBS Investment Bank, travel demand in terms of bookings for alternative
accommodation reached a new all-time high in June 2022, exceeding the prior high from June 2021.7 According
to data from OAG, weekly seat capacity on commercial passenger airlines averaged 90.7 million so far this year,
up from 61 million during the same period in 2020 but still some way below the 2019 level of 110.9 million. The
gap is gradually closing and global capacity on airlines exceeded 100 million for the first time since the
pandemic hit during the summer 2022 travel season.8

HomeToGo's business proved to be resilient in view of a contracting global economic environment during the
year 2022. The Group could further increase its visibility with website visits increasing slightly to 376 million
from approx. 375 million during the previous year while the revenue conversion improved significantly.
While 2021 was still affected by temporary travel restrictions, 2022 returned to a typical booking trend with a
strong performance in terms of Booking Revenues. Although having strong Booking Revenues in the first part of
the year, the last-minute booking trend for summer remained strong, particularly supported by Southern
European countries like Italy and Spain. From the second quarter onwards, the Group saw increases in both,
10
Booking Revenues and IFRS Revenues, due to our most recent acquisitions of e-domizil and SECRA. Both
acquisitions are following our strategy for Onsite Booking Revenues and Booking Revenues from Subscription &
Services. The US market was impacted by high inflation rates, leading to higher overnight rates which based on
given Take Rates translates directly into higher Booking Revenues. On the back of more secure travel planning
HomeToGo registered also a trend for early bookings already in 2022 with travel periods in 2023. As a result,
we realized a strong growth in Booking Revenues during the fourth quarter of 2022, while the corresponding
IFRS Revenues will only lead to revenue recognition in 2023.
Booking Revenues increased significantly by to EUR 163.7 million in 2022 with an overall growing share of
bookings made directly on our platforms that resulted in a higher Onsite Share of 54% compared to 44% in the
previous year and enabling the Group to realize a higher CPA Take Rate with an increase of +1.3ppt compared
to the prior year.
IFRS Revenues developed favorably and increased even more significant by 55% to EUR 146.8 million in 2022,
driven by the acquisitions during 2022, the Group's expansion of business activities and a further increase in
travel activity with more check-ins in the first half of the year from travel events like Easter and Pentecost
compared to the prior period.

In the financial year 2022, the Group’s total IFRS Revenues increased significantly by more than EUR 52.0
million to EUR 146.8 million. The major portion of the IFRS Revenues was generated from CPA (“Cost per
Action”), CPC (“Cost per Click”) and CPL (“Cost per Lead”) transactions. The increase in IFRS Revenues in 2022
was strongly driven by our recent acquisitions of e-domizil, SECRA and AMIVAC. Please refer to section 6 -
Business Combinations and other acquisitions of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information. Furthermore, IFRS Revenues increased  due to a continued recovery of travel activity in the
alternative accommodation sector in 2022 and due to expansion of the Group's business activities. As a result
of further strategic investments and the acquisition of e-domizil, the CPA Onsite IFRS Revenues more than
doubled by 112% to EUR 66.9 million. The growth in IFRS Revenues within Subscriptions & Services is mainly
explained by the acquisition of SECRA as of May 31, 2022 and AMIVAC as of January 1, 2022.

A significant portion of the Group's 2022 expenses is explained by expenses for performance marketing within
our Marketing and sales function and share-based compensation expenses. The reconciliation to Adjusted
EBITDA below provides a general overview of the impact of share-based compensation on the different cost
functions.
Cost of Revenues increased by EUR 7.9 million or 182% from EUR 4.3 million in 2021 to EUR 12.2 million in 2022
due to higher expenses for hosting resulting from increased bookings and traffic on our websites. Besides,
amortization of EUR 4.8 million of the order backlog recognized as part of the acquisition of e-domizil in April
2022 was leading to the disproportionate increase in Cost of Revenues. The adjusted gross profit margin9
increased by 0.1 percentage points from 96.4% in 2021 to 96.4% in 2022.
The increase in expenses for product development and operations by 20% to EUR 28.7 million in 2022 (2021:
EUR 23.7 million) mainly results from higher personnel-related expenses (2022: EUR 15.9 million, 2021: EUR 9.4
million) due to the increase in the scope of consolidation. The respective cost ratio9 to Revenues marginally
improved by 0.3 percentage points due to economies of scale.
Marketing and sales expenses increased by 32% from EUR 95.4 million in 2021 to EUR 126.3 million in 2022.
The majority of the increase was driven by EUR 27.2 million or 34% higher expenses for performance marketing
capturing a further resurgence of demand in the travel sector following the further lifting of travel restrictions
in 2022 compared to previous year. The Marketing and sales cost ratio9 of 81.3% improved by 10.6 percentage
points during 2022 compared to the prior year period from 91.9% whereas the improvement goes back to
increased efficiency within our performance marketing activities that was leveraged to build up a strong
Booking Revenues Backlog10 of EUR 32.5 million as of December 31, 2022 with a significant increase by 71.8%
compared to the prior year. According to IFRS those CPA Revenues from bookings in the backlog will be realized
based on their check-in date in 2023 without requiring any additional marketing expenses and thus, represent
an important building block in our goal to reach Adjusted EBITDA break-even in 2023.
General and administrative expenses decreased by 58% (2022: EUR 47.9 million, 2021: EUR 112.8 million)
mainly due to significantly lower expenses for share-based compensation (2022: EUR 19.0 million, 2021: EUR
17.6 million) recognized within General and administrative. The higher expenses for share-based compensation
in the prior period included a one-time non-cash expense in the amount of EUR 70.4 million that HomeToGo
incurred in connection with the successful consummation of the business combination with Lakestar SPAC I SE.
The expense represented the excess of the fair value of shares deemed issued as part of the business
combination over the fair value of identifiable net assets assumed from Lakestar SPAC I SE that economically
constitutes the listing service provided by Lakestar SPAC I SE. In addition, expenses for consulting services went
significantly down due to higher expenses in the prior period for the preparation of the de-SPAC transaction
(2022: EUR 7.3 million, 2021: EUR 13.1 million). As an opposing effect the Group incurred higher costs as a
public company during 2022 as reflected especially by increased expenses for third party services (2022: EUR
3.1 million, 2021: EUR 1.8 million). Furthermore, personnel-related expenses in General and administrative
increased to EUR 12.9 million (2021: EUR 6.8 million), with the number of staff as well as the scope of
consolidation due to acquisitions of subsidiaries having significantly increased. The respective cost ratio11 in
proportion to IFRS Revenues increased from 12.9% in 2021 by 2.1 percentage points to 15.0% in 2022 mainly
due to the higher costs as a public company incurred in 2022 compared to the prior year.

Other income includes income from the translation of foreign currencies mainly related to the appreciation of
the USD compared to EUR. Overall, other income is below the prior year level due to government grant related
to income in 2021 of EUR 9.3 million in connection with Covid-19 aids by the German state.
In 2022, the Group incurred a consolidated net loss in the amount of EUR 53.5 million compared to the 2021
net loss of EUR 177.0 million. The improvement of EUR 123.5 million compared to the previous period is mainly
explained by an improved marketing efficiency, by the listing service expense of EUR 70.4 million described
above that was recognized in General and administrative in 2021 and lower consulting expenses due to the de-
SPAC transaction in the prior year.
In order to assess the operating performance of the business, HomeToGo's management uses Adjusted EBITDA
as an additional metric to Net Income as it presents the sustainable operational performance of the business.
HomeToGo recorded an Adjusted EBITDA of EUR (20.7) million in 2022 compared to EUR (21.1) million in 2021.
While the absolute improvement is relatively small, the Adjusted EBITDA margin improved significantly from
(22.2)% in 2021 to (14.1)% in 2022 due to an improved marketing marketing cost efficiency as well as the
successful acquisitions, in particular e-domizil. Overall, the development of the Group’s result of operations are
assessed favorably given the current global economic contraction. The reconciliation of the Group's Adjusted
EBITDA is shown in the following table:

(1) Includes restricted cash and cash equivalents of EUR 2.3 million as of December 31, 2022 (2021: nil).
As of December 31, 2022, the Group has cash and cash equivalents in the amount of EUR 112.0 million (2021:
EUR 152.9 million). The financial development of the Group was primarily driven by payments for the
acquisition of subsidiaries.
The decrease in cash outflow from operating activities compared to the previous year is mainly due to
decreased payments amounting to 1.9 million in 2022 compared to EUR 42.1 million for the cash settlement to
beneficiaries of the Virtual Stock Option Program ("VSOP") that was higher due to the high amount of
exercisable options during the de-SPAC transation.
The development of cash outflow from investing activities from EUR 118.3 million in 2021 to EUR 0.6 million in
2022 mainly goes back to payments for the acquisition of subsidiaries, net of cash acquired in the amount of
EUR 46.2 million (2021: EUR 16.4 million) and payments for internally generated intangible assets in the
amount of EUR 3.8 million (2021: EUR 1.5 million). Those cash outflows are offset by proceeds in the amount of
EUR 50.0 million in 2022 from the sale of a portion of the Group's investment in a short-term money market
fund for which the payment in 2021 in the amount of EUR 100.0 million explained the main part of the prior
year cash outflow from investing activities of EUR 118.3 million.
The 2022 cash outflow from financing activities consists of repayments of borrowings in the amount of EUR 4.4
million (EUR 2.8 million) and payments for the principal portion of lease liabilities in the amount of EUR 0.9
million (2021: EUR 1.0 million).

As of the balance sheet date, the balance sheet total of the Group amounts to EUR 344.6 million (2021: EUR
365.3 million), with EUR 159.2 million (2021: EUR 86.0 million) accounting for non-current assets and EUR 185.4
million (2021: EUR 279.3 million) accounting for current assets.
The main non-current assets are composed of intangible assets in the amount of EUR 138.4 million (2021: EUR
61.4 million) and property, plant and equipment in the amount of EUR 15.0 million (2021: EUR 15.2 million).
The increase in intangible assets mainly results from the acquisitions of AMIVAC, e-domizil and SECRA, resulting
in the recognition of additional goodwill in the amount of EUR 43.4 million and trademarks, order backlog,
customer relationships and software in the amount of EUR 41.2 million. Property, plant and equipment
increased due to the consolidation of right-of-use assets of acquired subsidiaries.
Current assets mainly relate to trade receivables including other receivables (2022: EUR 14.5 million, 2021: EUR
19.0 million), cash and cash equivalents (2022: EUR 112.0 million, 2021: EUR 152.9 million) and an investment
in a money market fund (2022: EUR 49.5 million, 2021: EUR 100.0 million). The increase in trade receivables is
in line with the increased IFRS Revenues whereas current other receivables decreased from EUR 9.2 million as
of December 31, 2021 to EUR 0.9 million as of December 31, 2022 due to the payment of a Covid-19 related
government grant from the German state in 2022. Furthermore, current other financial assets have decreased
to EUR 51.8 million as of December 31, 2022 from EUR 102.0 million as of the prior year, reflecting the sale of a
portion of our investment in money market funds amounting to EUR 50.0 million.
As of December 31, 2022, the Group’s equity amounts to EUR 263.7 million (2021: EUR 290.5 million).
Accordingly, the equity ratio amounts to 77% (2021: 80%) and is above the target equity ratio of 50% that is
required by covenants. The decrease in the equity ratio compared to the prior year mainly results from the
recognition of a total comprehensive loss in 2022.
Non-current liabilities decreased to EUR 30.0 million as of December 31, 2022 compared to EUR 38.7 million in
the prior year mainly due to the decrease in fair value of warrants compared to the prior year and the
repayment of borrowings during the reporting period.
17
Current liabilities amount to EUR 50.9 million as of December 31, 2022 compared to EUR 36.1 million as of the
prior year. The increase is explained by the increase in contract liabilities from EUR 3.9 million as of December
31, 2021 to EUR 11.9 million as of December 31, 2022 and the recognition of traveler advance payments owed
to homeowners in the amount of 5.5 million as of December 31, 2022 (2021: nil). Both aforementioned liability
positions go back to the acquisition of e-domizil, whereas the advance payments mainly relate to collection
services provided by e-domizil for their homeowners. As part of these payment services, e-domizil collects
travelers' advance payments as well as advance payments for the booking services prior to the traveler's check-
in at the booked accommodation. The travelers' advance payments that e-domizil needs to transfer to the
homeowners right before check-in of the traveler are shown here under Other financial liabilities, while the
advance payments received for booking services are presented under Other liabilities (current). Refer to the
table under note 28 - Other liabilities (current and non-current) of the Consolidated Financial Statements for
further details. The amount of traveler advance payments as a portion of cash and cash equivalents with an
amount of EUR 2.3 million as of December 31, 2022 (2021: nil) is subject to statutory restrictions and not
available for general use by the Group. Furthermore, current liabilities as of December 31, 2022 contain current
trade payables in the amount of EUR 12.5 million (2021: EUR 15.4 million).
d) Overall statement
The Management Board views the business development of 2022 as positive. The Group took advantage of the
mainstreaming of the alternative accommodation market. HomeToGo significantly increased its IFRS Revenues
and Booking Revenues in 2022, as a consequence of the continued M&A strategy and HomeToGo's ability to
attract and retain customers, with a focus on its strategically important Onsite business, as well as positive
development of its Subscriptions & Services business, all in all paving the way for future growth.
HomeToGo exceeded prior year's expectation for IFRS Revenues and Booking Revenues. While the
Management Board's expectation of Adjusted EBITDA still being negative has been met, the overall amount of
EUR 20.7 million has been better than expected driven by an improved Marketing cost ratio and successful
business combinations. Overall, HomeToGo is delivering on its target growth and margin corridor.
2.4. Employees
As of December 31, 2022 the Group had employed 650 employees (2021: 372), representing an increase of 56%
compared to the prior year. The overall increase is explained by the acquisitions.
3. Statutory Results of Operations and Financial Position of the
Company
The purpose of HomeToGo SE is the creation, holding, development and realization of its investment in
HomeToGo GmbH. Due to its sole purpose as a financial holding entity, the Company is subject to the same
price, credit and cash flow risks as the Group as a whole. Refer to 4.2. Illustration of Risks for an assessment of
risks the Company is exposed to.
Results of Operations
As a pure financial holding the Company did not generate any Revenues or income during the financial year
2022. The Company incurred expenses of EUR 341.3 million in 2022 (2021: EUR 17.7 million) that led to a loss in
the same amount in the respective period.
The expenses in 2022 mainly compose of an impairment for the investment held in HomeToGo GmbH of EUR
258.2 million and an impairment for the own shares held by the Company of EUR 62.4 million. The main input
factors for the impairment test for the investment in HomeToGo GmbH leading to the impairment were a
higher discount rate and a reduction in net cash while the business plan did not change significantly. As the
share price of the Company throughout the financial year 2022 was constantly below the acquisition cost of the
treasury shares of EUR 10.00 an impairment is recognized using the share price of EUR 2.26 as of December 31,
18
2022 as fair value input. Furthermore, the disposal of treasury shares below their acquisition costs of EUR 10.00
as part of the considerations paid for the acquisitions of e-domizil and SECRA as well as for the VSOP
settlements during 2022 led to a loss of in total EUR 15.7 million. There is no impact on the consolidated
statement of profit or loss according to IFRS resulting from the before mentioned impairments and losses on
disposals.
Besides, expenses incurred as a public company that are made up of expenses for third-party services
amounting to EUR 0.3 million (2021: EUR 0.2 million) as well as consulting and audit expenses and EUR 1.3
million (2021: EUR 0.6 million), respectively.

4. Risk and Opportunity Report
As an international company, HomeToGo has exposure to macroeconomic, sector-specific, and company-
specific risks and opportunities. This risk and opportunity report provides an overview of the implemented risk
and opportunity management system and presents the risks and opportunities considered material for
HomeToGo.
4.1. Risk and Opportunity Management System
The Management Board of HomeToGo SE assumes overall responsibility for the development and operation of
an effective risk and opportunity management system (RMS) for HomeToGo. The CFO has implemented the
RMS that consists of the following elements:
Risk and Opportunity Objectives
The objective of the RMS is to create the necessary transparency about risks and opportunities for decision
makers, to foster the risk and opportunity culture, and to create a common understanding of risks and
opportunities throughout the company.
Risk and Opportunity Identification and Monitoring
Using multiple instruments, such as workshops and self-assessments, the identification and assessment of risks
and opportunities is carried out by both the risk and opportunity owners during day-to-day operations and the
CFO on a quarterly basis.
Risk and Opportunity Assessment
All risks and opportunities identified are evaluated with regard to their probability of occurrence and their
potential impact based on a one-year time horizon. The identified single risks and opportunities are finally
aggregated. The probability of occurrence represents the possibility that a specific impact for a risk or an
opportunity may materialize within the next three to 60 months. The impact assessment is conducted on a
quantitative scale that refers to the potential financial impact. The material risks and opportunities are
described in the next section of this report.
Risk and Opportunity Control
Risk and opportunity owners are charged with developing and implementing effective risk mitigating and
opportunity supporting measures within their responsibility area. Depending on the type, characteristics, and
assessment of the risks, different risk strategies are applied by the risk owners to reduce the risk, considering
costs and effectiveness. Risk strategies can be risk avoidance, reduction, transfer to a third party, or
acceptance.
Risk and Opportunity Management Improvements and Reporting
The respective risk owner reports on the overall risk and opportunity situation to the senior management, the
Management Board, and the Supervisory Board on a quarterly basis.

4.2. Illustration of Risks
Overall assessment of risks
Overall, the Management Board identified no risks that might threaten the Company’s and the Group’s ability
to continue as a going concern and, from today’s perspective, no such risks are recognizable for the foreseeable
future.
Cybersecurity and IT risks
We operate websites and apps with which we collect, maintain, transmit, and store information about our
users, Partners, and others, including personal information, as well as other confidential and proprietary
information, including information related to intellectual property. We also employ third-party service
providers that store, process, and transmit proprietary, personal, and confidential information on our behalf.
Furthermore, we rely on encryption and authentication technology licensed from third parties to securely
transmit confidential and sensitive information. While we have a cyber risk management in place and take
extensive steps to protect the security, integrity, and confidentiality of sensitive and confidential information
(e.g., password policies and firewalls), our security practices may be insufficient enabling third parties to
potentially breach our systems (e.g., through Trojans, spyware, ransomware or other malware attacks, or
breaches by our employees or third-party service providers), which may result in unauthorized use or
disclosure of information. Such attacks might lead to blackmail attempts, forcing us to pay substantial amounts
to release our captured data or resulting in the unauthorized release of such data. Given that techniques used
in those attacks change frequently and often are not recognized until launched against a target, it may be
impossible to completely secure our systems. In addition, technical advances and continued expansion and
increased complexity of our IT infrastructure could increase the likelihood of security breaches. The operation
of our business requires a number of licenses and other (usage) rights, e.g., in connection with integrating
content into our platform. In the future, we may require additional licenses (e.g., if legal environments change,
or we provide additional services). There is, however, no guarantee that we will be able to obtain all required
licenses or other (usage) rights or that we will manage to comply with all requirements imposed on us
thereunder. If we fail to obtain and maintain such licenses or rights, we may not be able to conduct our
business as intended, which may adversely affect our growth and profitability. Service outages might occur by
loss of domains of other HomeToGo Group brands due to overlooked renewals that could result in a loss of
Booking and IFRS Revenues.
To mitigate these risks, we continuously review and strengthen our IT security strategy and take an increasing
number of technical measures and organizational policies to protect against unauthorized access to our
systems and data. We use advanced server solutions scalable by specialized third-party providers and recruit
experts in order to ensure system integrity and safety and reduce IT risks to an acceptable level. We constantly
review required renewals of all HomeToGo Group domains to ensure the timely renewal of the domain
ownership. Furthermore, we are centralizing procedures and responsibilities across the HomeToGo Group to
support these measures.
In 2022, in consultative collaboration with security experts, we have assessed our cybersecurity according to
NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Based on the framework, we have planned the next security advancement
milestones and already delivered a number of new security enhancements. As an example, we launched a
comprehensive Bug Bounty program as an additional way to deliver surety to our measures and strategy.
Additionally, to increase awareness of cyberattacks at work, we have launched a program of security
awareness training for our employees, raising our protection from within our team.
Product risks
Our listing products bear the risk that fraudulent homeowners might post fake or not as described offers on our
platforms. Travelers would arrive to find no holiday home or not as described holiday home resulting in
frustration and customer complaints that could damage the reputation of HomeToGo or one of our other
brands leading to lower Booking and IFRS Revenues. To mitigate this risk we are constantly reviewing our fraud
detection processes to initiate pre-emptive detection of potentially fraudulent hosts. We have integrated a
third party vendor that is able to detect and block fraudulent accounts and listings creation. Further, we are
using know your customer (KYC) verification flows before paying out funds to Partners.
For our payment services we rely on banks, card schemes, and other payment processors to execute certain
components of the payments process. For inbound payments, we pay these third parties interchange fees and
21
other processing and gateway fees to help facilitate payments from travelers to Partners. As a result, if we are
unable to maintain our relationships with these third parties on favorable terms or if these fees are increased
for any reason, our profit margin, business, and results of operations could be harmed. Additionally, if these
third parties experience service disruptions or if they cease operations, travelers and Partners could have
difficulty making or receiving payments, which could adversely impact our reputation, business, and results of
operations.
Legislative and regulatory risks
HomeToGo is subject to numerous laws and regulations, particularly on data protection, competition,
consumer protection, online commerce and short-term rentals on EU, national and local levels. This includes, in
particular, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and extends to local legal frameworks and changes
pertaining to the German Telekommunikation-Telemedien-Datenschutz-Gesetz (TTDSG), the German Gesetz
gegen den unlauteren Wettbewerb (UWG) as well as the EU "New Deal for Consumers" Directive, besides
travel-related regulations for platforms offering short-term rentals.
On the digital environment as such, the evolving regulatory framework for the use of cookies and similar
technologies in many jurisdictions may impair a convenient online service for our users and performance on
our platforms that may lead to limitations for our business and digital marketing techniques.
Responsible and confidential handling of customer data is key to our business. To mitigate risks of potential
violations, our legal team continuously monitors data protection requirements and developments in
interpretations, supports in implementing corresponding measures and processes and provides advice.
Mandatory training and a regular focus group raise awareness for GDPR compliance which go hand in hand
with close cooperation and alignment with responsible teams for adequate protection of personal data of
customers as well as partners and employees. Appropriate processes are reviewed, updated and implemented
with due care, also seeking advice from external foreign legal counsels and the external data protection
officer(s) to ensure correct interpretation of changing legal requirements and timely incident response.
Evolving platform and consumer protection regulations are reviewed by our legal team and incorporated in the
HomeToGo product environment to ensure transparency for users with corresponding texts and features.
In addition, short-term rental regulations on federal, regional and municipality levels impact the display of our
offerings and are considered in operational business processes and product configurations. Those short-term
rental regulations are enacted worldwide with the intention to control and restrict the renting of private
accommodations. Such law implementations may result in higher legal costs and necessary resources
depending on the individual market and jurisdiction. To remain up to date with interpretations and travel-
related regulations, HomeToGo is engaged in industry associations, such as the Deutscher Ferienhausverband
e.V. (DFV), the European Holiday Home Association (EHHA) as well as other associations and actively advocates
the EU-wide harmonization of the regulation on short-term renting (e.g., by preparing and submitting position
papers).
Legislative and regulatory authorities or other policy-making organizations in other countries where we operate
may expand the scope of application of laws and regulations in force, enact new laws or regulations or issue
revised rules or guidelines on data privacy, short-term rentals, consumer protection or overall online
commerce. For instance, the EU Directive 2021/514 (DAC7, Directive of Administrative Cooperation in the field
of taxation in the EU) with the consecutive national laws like the German Plattformen-Steuertransparenzgesetz
(PStTG) is in force resulting in reporting obligations - on the income realized by sellers offering certain services -
applicable to the digital economy. In 2024, the EU Digital Services Act further regulates online platforms more
generally with more exhaustive additional rules in particular on transparency and further compliance
measures.
Any failure to comply with dynamically changing data protection or other regulatory provisions and
interpretations could result in administrative or civil legal proceedings, harm to our business, operations and
reputation or even in significant fines.
Marketing risks
Another risk factor, is the reachable efficiency and effectiveness of marketing expenses. There is a risk of
increased user acquisition costs as competition with direct and indirect competitors in online marketing
channels is intensifying. Furthermore, there is a risk of losing SEO traffic and revenue due to Google updates
and an increasing visibility of Google owned products.
22
HomeToGo counters this with investments in the brands of the HomeToGo Group, which are, geared to the
main brand, HomeToGo. For example, through the evaluation of organic search results, targeted CRM
campaigns are launched or TV and outdoor advertising is placed in order to increase the efficiency of the
marketing measures applied and to reduce the dependency on individual online marketing channels. We
perform long-term focussed SEO in line with Google guidelines, focus on high-quality content and constantly
improve our Onsite quality metrics. Further, we monitor competition for strategic investments or partnerships.
Partner risks
Our business depends on our Partners maintaining their offers on our platform and engaging in practices that
encourage users to book those offers. If Partners do not establish or maintain a sufficient number of offers and
availability for their properties, the number of nights booked declines for a particular period, or the price
charged by Partners declines, our revenue would decline and our business, results of operations, and financial
condition would be materially adversely affected. While we plan to continue to invest in our Partners and in
tools to assist Partners, these investments may not be successful in growing our Partners and offers on our
platform. In addition, Partners may not establish or maintain offers if we cannot attract prospective users to
our platform and generate bookings from a large number of users. While HomeToGo has experienced only a
limited number of contract terminations by Partners in the past, Partners have from time to time taken their
inventory temporarily off its websites, e.g., for technical reasons.
Since our key Partners, in particular OTAs, typically operate their own platforms and/or also use the services of
other platforms, we face the risk that a key Partner may decide to suspend or terminate its partnership with us.
Such decisions can be based on factors that are beyond our control. For example, a key Partner may decide to
reduce spending on services from us due to a challenging economic environment or other factors, both internal
and external, relating to its business. These factors, among others, may include corporate restructuring, pricing
pressure, changes to an outsourcing strategy, or switching to another platform. Furthermore, our reliance on
certain key Partners for a significant portion of our revenue may give these Partners a certain degree of pricing
leverage against us when negotiating contracts and terms of service.
The loss of all or a portion of our business with, or the failure to retain a significant amount of business with,
any of our key Partners could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Ukraine Risk
As at the time of the publication of the Combined Management Report, the war in Ukraine is ongoing and its
development remains unpredictable. There is a risk that the war will further escalate and that the battle
ground could extend geographically and actively involve territories of neighboring sovereign countries, which
could further adversely impact the perception of security of the public and lead to a decrease in global travel
activity. There is the risk that the current economic environment could further deteriorate and have an adverse
lasting impact on consumers' disposable incomes. This could have a consequence of a decrease in demand for
travel activities and related services and result in lower Booking and IFRS Revenues. Furthermore, the risk of
default among our Partners could also increase and lead to an augmented liquidity risk for the Group.
The future development in terms of the war in Ukraine and the economic environment cannot be foreseen
beyond the short-term view, however HomeToGo will continue to monitor the situation closely and will
continue to flexibly respond at short notice to any new development.
Covid-19 Risk
Furthermore, there is a remote risk that the Covid-19 virus could again adversely affect travel behavior in the
future with new variants of the virus spreading that may be immune to vaccination and immunization following
an infection. The recent shift by China's policy makers to abandon the zero Covid-19 policy could possibly raise
the risk of new variants and may trigger a new global wave with negative impacts on travel and already
stressed supply chains leading to lower Booking and IFRS Revenues for HomeToGo.
 
23
Growth Risk
With a focus on the Group's future profitability, there is a risk that measures aimed at further realizing cost
efficiencies could have an unexpected constraining impact on the growth of the Group's business.
Inflation Risk
Our financial performance is subject to global macroeconomic conditions being impacted by high inflation rates
and a rapid rise in interest rates as a reaction by central banks. High inflation might impact our business model
negatively as the consumers' real discretionary income might shrink. Higher interest rates set by central banks
as a countermeasure to normalize inflation rates will impact the global economy with adverse effects on
consumers' ability to travel. Higher interest rates will lead to higher costs of capital, used as discount rates in
our impairment test models. Higher discount rates would reduce valuations, absent any offsetting adjustments
to cash flow projections, for example due to inflation. This would be an impairment trigger and could result in
an impairment. We are carefully monitoring our cost spending and might be able to pass part of increasing
prices on to market participants.
Liquidity and default risks
Due to the continuing loss situation, there is generally a medium-term liquidity risk. Furthermore, a default risk
exists in respect of our Partners’ receivables, which might also adversely affect liquidity. Given the size of our
Partners (partly listed companies), we regard a default of large Partners as unlikely whereas the risk is slightly
higher compared to the financial year 2021 given contractions in the economic environment at the time of the
publication of the combined management report. A slightly higher default risk arises from small and non-
professionalized Partners, which is treated through consistent follow-up care. Overall, this refers to a minor
volume and does not adversely affect HomeToGo’s further existence. The Group has strong liquidity resources
at its disposal and an effective liquidity management.
Foreign currency risks
We offer our Partners and users integrated payments in more than 28 currencies and a considerable portion of
our business is conducted in foreign currencies. Therefore, we are exposed to a certain currency risk.
HomeToGo counters this currency risk through natural hedging of the main foreign currencies (primarily USD,
GBP and CHF) by keeping bank accounts in the corresponding foreign currency in order to always be able to
hold a stock of foreign currency in this way and not to be exposed to short-term currency fluctuations.
Acquisitions risks
HomeToGo has acquired multiple businesses since 2018 and we will continue to regularly evaluate potential
acquisitions. We may expend significant cash or incur substantial debt to finance such acquisitions, which
indebtedness could result in restrictions on our business and significant use of available cash to make payments
of interest and principal. In addition, we may finance acquisitions by issuing equity or convertible debt
securities, which could result in further dilution to our existing stockholders. We may enter into negotiations
for acquisitions that are not ultimately consummated. Those negotiations could result in diversion of
management time and significant out-of-pocket costs. If we fail to evaluate and execute acquisitions
successfully, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
In addition, we may not be successful in integrating acquisitions or the businesses we acquire may not perform
as well as we expected. While our acquisitions to date have not caused major disruptions in our business, any
future failure to manage and successfully integrate acquired businesses could materially adversely affect our
business, results of operations, and financial condition.
ESG risks
We recognize we will need to invest significant effort and resources to further develop and align our ESG
activities whilst continuing to comply with the changing regulations and policies, specifically in terms of how we
measure and report ESG data. If our ESG practices do not meet regulatory requirements or investor, traveler or
employee expectations, then our reputation could be negatively affected. Similarly, our failure to fulfill ESG
commitments to meet reporting standards could mean we are subject to regulatory punishment or actions by
24
stakeholders that could negatively impact our business. We recognize the following risks among ESG pillars
Environmental, Social and Governance:
Environmental risks
There are potential risks inherent in climate protection efforts, reflected in regulatory changes and consumer
demand. The overarching need to travel less to protect the planet could affect customers' willingness to book
multiple vacations per year and/or long-distance travel. In addition, stakeholder concerns, as well as negative
press about sustainable travel trends such as flight- or ‘workation’ “shaming”, could negatively impact a
customer’s willingness to travel. The increasing pressure to use sustainable modes of transportation may make
it more difficult for some of our inventory to be accessible, and hence less attractive to book. Globally, Covid-19
and other pandemics may lead to new forms of travel restrictions or travel fatigue. With increasing
repercussions caused by the severity of climate change, the inaccessibility of certain regions throughout the
year due to extreme weather conditions or natural disasters might make it more difficult or even impossible to
travel to relevant destinations.
Social risks
Our employees’ expertise and commitment are important factors for our successful development and depend
on our ability to recruit, train, motivate and retain highly qualified employees and, at the same time, promote
our corporate culture. Changes in the macro-economic landscape may impact the stability of HomeToGo's
social climate, e.g. the ability to retain and attract top talent in a competitive and ever-evolving environment. A
risk factor is the skilled labor shortage (“Fachkräftemangel”) which continues to prevail in Germany and other
countries, which may pose a risk to retain key employees and attract additional top talent and qualified staff,
e.g., in the field of software developers. The loss of qualified staff, high employee fluctuation or lasting
difficulties in filling vacant positions with suitable applicants might adversely affect our ability to effectively
compete in our business, and we might lose important know-how, or our competitors might gain access to such
know-how.
Additionally, we note a tendency for the younger generation to seek a "purpose-driven" work environment and
increasingly look for jobs in sustainability-related industries (e.g. NGOs and social ventures). We see it as an
important task to monitor the mental and physical well-being of our employees who may suffer from the
difficult global times we are experiencing, such as the war in Ukraine, the Covid-19 pandemic, rising inflation
and the threat of recession or other factors. In addition, we see a risk in ensuring that employees are treated
equally and fairly regardless of gender, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation and other factors. In order to
attract and retain qualified staff, we offer competitive compensation packages with long-term incentive models
and other employer benefits, which serve the professional and health promotion of our employees.
Furthermore, we strongly invest in our corporate culture and the development and further training of our
employees. Maintaining an engaging culture in the face of increasing remote working and a global employee
and office base requires special care and attention, while continuing to ensure a high degree of flexibility and
independence for our workforce. 
Governance risks
We see a risk in maintaining sound corporate governance while complying with the additional reporting
guidelines that HomeToGo will be required to follow in 2023 and the years to come. As such it is important to
ensure that the business is organized in such a way that accounting, treasury and financial operations are
satisfactorily controlled in all other respects and that the risks inherent in the business are identified, defined,
measured, monitored and controlled at all times in accordance with all relevant external and internal
frameworks.
As our global footprint grows, we closely monitor all risks related to anti-corruption, even though we do not
consider them to be a material threat to our current business or financial performance. Although we do our
best to keep a close eye on all matters along our supply chain complementing our standard partner contracts
with compliance standards we incorporate for ourselves and expect from these business partners as well, we
recognize that limited transparency and the lack of a suppliers’ code of conduct in some business relationships
might make it difficult for us to enforce adequate compliance with protection from human rights-related risks
along the supply chain and that this is therefore considered a standard risk.
25
4.3. Illustration of Opportunities
Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, the market for alternative accommodation was experiencing significant
growth. We anticipate that the alternative accommodation industry will continue to expand significantly
because of an observable trend in the traveler preferences away from traditional hotel and resort reservations
and more towards vacation homes, as demonstrated during the Covid-19 pandemic. The mainstreaming of
vacation rentals was accelerated by the pandemic and persists even in a crisis that showed people always
travel, only further driving repeat demand. This can be traced back to its high flexibility by nature, safety of
vacation rental, the often convenient and short distances to domestic locations, the offering of maximum
independence and seclusion, as well as a wide range of amenities that help travelers control their budget.
Further expansion of trends such as "workations" are expected as consumers are adding additional days before
or after their holidays and just work from away. In order to maintain its previous growth trajectory in a
sustained manner, HomeToGo will offer its customers and users a fully integrated product portfolio with
tailored products and software-based solutions in these new market fields as a result of the growing
digitization of this privately and semi-professionally operated tourism sector segment.
With cancellation rates reaching pre-Covid-19 pandemic levels, a faster than expected return to historic
cancellation rates or even a further decrease can lead to additional IFRS and Booking Revenues.
During the pandemic many people considered purchasing an own holiday home in domestic locations instead
of further renting. In order to fully utilize these new homeowners might use platforms like HomeToGo that
increases their reach significantly and could lead to additional supply on our platform.
Faster implementation of our software solutions can lead to faster digitalization of inventory and therefore
benefit the whole alternative accommodation industry.
Increased competition among our Partners can lead to better economics for HomeToGo as Partners will want
to have a higher traffic share.
5. Significant Events after the Reporting Period
No significant events occurred between the end of the reporting period and the date that the financial
statements are authorized for issue.
6. Outlook
Building on a strong Booking Revenues Backlog of EUR 32.5 million as of December 31, 2022 that was a
significant increase by 71.8% compared to the end of 2021, the new fiscal year 2023 started well for
HomeToGo with strong bookings across markets. As usual bookings were driven by traditional early booking
markets like DACH and the Netherlands. However, also markets like North America, who usually book more in
Q2, have been quite active.
According to the Global Online Travel Booking Platform Market 2022-2026 study by Technavio, the online
booking industry is up to an increasing market size, with an expected growth of 13.9% in 2023 and an average
CAGR of 15.7% from 2023 to 2026. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is also facing an ongoing
recovery for the year 2023 with passenger numbers expected to surpass the four billion mark for the first time
since 2019, with 4.2 billion travelers expected to fly. Both studies underline that the online travel business and
the alternative accommodation industry continues to be a fast growing market.12
For the short-term future, the Group will continue its growth path by further expanding its business in both
Europe and North America by onboarding more Partners, acquiring new customers and capitalizing on
returning customers, all with the help of our technology-driven solutions enabling access to incredible homes.
With travel as a priority for leisure spending for the majority of consumers13 and consciousness for
environmental and sustainable use of resources rising, we see that the trend of choosing alternative
accommodation for vacations will persist and prove to be resilient during periods of economic contractions that

are projected to persist. HomeToGo's performance during the Covid-19 pandemic has proven the resilience of
our business model. We aim to further scale our operations across geographic areas and replicate our proven
marketing playbook in DACH region to drive repeat demand globally.
With the expansion of our Subscription & Services business, we will continue to deliver an unparalleled
experience for users on our platform to drive repeat demand and brand loyalty. On the Supply side, we will
support our Partners with growth, continuing to prove the integration potential of our marketplace to drive
acceleration for both the demand and supply side.
A key piece of fostering our path to profitability is our focus on delivering an incredible experience that
travelers want to return to, combined with an efficient marketing strategy to drive and scale repeat demand at
lower costs. We have taken operating measures to optimize our resource allocation and pace our overhead
investments. This is combined with savings from lifting valuable synergy potentials with our subsidiaries from
our key acquisitions. At a topline level, we have consolidated contracts within HomeToGo Group plus offered
new, engaging add-on services to drive Revenues and additional margins.
For the financial year 2023, the HomeToGo Group expects to grow Booking Revenues by 13-25% to a range of
EUR 185-205 million. Onsite share of Booking Revenues share is expected to grow by 2-7 percentage points to
56-61%. IFRS Revenues are expected to grow by 13-19% to EUR 165-175 million. We expect further economies
of scale and an improved efficiency of our marketing activity that will enable us to reach Adjusted EBITDA
break-even in 2023 within a range between EUR (2.5) and 2.5 million.

HomeToGo SE, Luxembourg
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts in EUR thousands, except stated otherwise)
1 - Corporate information
The HomeToGo Group (“HomeToGo” or “Group”), comprises the parent entity HomeToGo SE ("HomeToGo
SE"), Luxembourg, Luxembourg (the “Company”), and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Company is
registered in the commercial register of the Registre de commerce et des sociétés in Luxembourg under
number B249273. The Company’s address is Rue de Bitbourg 9, 1273, Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
The business activities of HomeToGo include the operation of an international marketplace for alternative
accommodations that connects millions of users searching for a place to stay with thousands of inventory
suppliers across the globe, resulting in the world’s most comprehensive inventory coverage in the alternative
accommodation space. At the time of the report, HomeToGo’s portfolio comprised more than 15 million
aggregated accommodation offers provided by over 60,000 online travel agencies, tour operators, property
managers and other inventory suppliers (“Partners”) worldwide. HomeToGo operates its business through
localized websites and apps in 25 countries. The marketplace seamlessly integrates a vast inventory in one
simple search and enables users to book accommodations from diverse Partners, either on the Partner’s
external accommodation websites or directly on the HomeToGo marketplace platform. The consolidated
financial statements of HomeToGo were initially authorized for issue by the Management Board on March 29,
2023.
HomeToGo SE was originally known as Lakestar SPAC I SE (“Lakestar SPAC”) a Special Purpose Acquisition
Company with the objective of acquiring a European late-stage growth company in the technology sector with
the funds raised from private placements. Lakestar SPAC became listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on
February 22, 2021.
On July 14, 2021, HomeToGo GmbH and Lakestar SPAC entered into a Business Combination Agreement
(“BCA”) whereby Lakestar SPAC became the legal parent company of HomeToGo GmbH, its direct and indirect
subsidiaries for a contribution and exchange of HomeToGo GmbH shares for new Public Shares (the “Business
Combination” or “Transaction”). On September 21, 2021 the Transaction was closed (the “Closing”) and
Lakestar SPAC changed its name to HomeToGo SE.
HomeToGo GmbH was deemed to be both the accounting acquirer and the predecessor entity in the
subsequent fillings of the combined company. Please refer to Note 6 - Business Combinations and other
Acquisitions in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for 2021 for further explanations on the
Transaction.
2 - Basis of preparation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting
Standards Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) as adopted by and to be applied in the European Union.
The official version of the accounts is the ESEF version available at the Officially Appointed Mechanism (OAM)
of Luxembourg under https://www.bourse.lu/issuer/HomeToGo/102802.
The accounting principles set out below, unless stated otherwise, have been applied consistently for all periods
presented in the consolidated financial statements. We refer to note 35 - Change in accounting policy -
Classification of warrants for the change in presenting warrants in accounting for the de-SPAC transaction.
HomeToGo has also decided to change the presentation of treasury shares in its Statement of changes in equity
by introducing a separate column on treasury shares, which shows the deduction from equity. HTG determined
that such change would improve the transparency about the development of treasury shares, which will be
reissued through transactions or as settlement of claims resulting from share-based compensation.
33
HomeToGo’s financial year ends December 31. All intercompany transactions are eliminated during the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, unless otherwise stated.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro (“EUR”), which is the functional currency of the
Company and all subsidiaries of HomeToGo. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand, except when
otherwise indicated. Due to rounding, differences may arise when individual amounts or percentages are
added together.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared under the assumption that the Group will continue as a
going concern. Management believes that HomeToGo has adequate resources to continue operations for the
foreseeable future.
3 - Scope of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the balances and results of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities directly or indirectly controlled by the Company. The Company controls an
entity when it is exposed to, or has the right to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has
the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date
on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
Besides the Company, the following subsidiaries are included in the scope of consolidation as of December 31,

4 - Summary of significant accounting policies
a)Current versus non-current classification
HomeToGo classifies assets and liabilities by maturity. They are classified as current in the consolidated
statement of financial position if they mature or are otherwise settled or realized within one year. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are consistently presented as non-current in the consolidated statement of financial
position.
b)Foreign currency translation
HomeToGo’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro, which is the functional and presentation
currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. For each entity, the Group determines the functional currency
and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.
Functional currency is defined as the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity
operates.
Any transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the date
of transaction. Balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the closing rate for
each reporting period, with resulting translation differences recognized within the consolidated statement of
profit or loss and comprehensive income.
The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary
economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the
reporting currency as follows:
•assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of
that balance sheet
•income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and statement of comprehensive income are
translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative
effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are
translated at the dates of the transactions), and
•all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities,
and of borrowings are recognized in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any
borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified
to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.
c)Profit or loss structure
HomeToGo uses a cost of revenue structure to present its expenses by function. See Note 9 and the following
paragraph for further explanations about the content in the different profit or loss line items.
d)Revenue recognition
HomeToGo applies IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with customers. The standard establishes principles for
reporting information to users of financial statements, about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of
revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Management applies the five-step
model according to IFRS 15 when determining the timing and amount of revenue recognition.
HomeToGo operates a marketplace for alternative accommodations that connects millions of travelers
searching for a perfect place to stay with thousands of inventory suppliers across the globe. HomeToGo
generates revenue through the following main revenue types:
•Cost per Action (“CPA”): CPA is the largest revenue stream, whereby HomeToGo receives a percentage-
based commission for successful onsite- or offsite booking referrals, which facilitate a stay. Depending on
the contractual terms with the respective partner, the revenue for HomeToGo is either calculated as
percentage of the commission or as percentage of the booking value (sometimes called revenue share).
•Cost per Click (“CPC”) HomeToGo receives a fixed commission based on every successful referral click.
35
•Cost per Lead (“CPL”): HomeToGo receives a fixed commission based on every successful referral inquiry
(lead).
•Subscriptions & Services are related to subscription-based revenue from Partners who can use the
platform for listing of their rental objects over a determined period.
CPA transactions are commission-based revenues where the Partner compensates HomeToGo for facilitating
bookings that resulted in a stay of the traveler. HomeToGo is acting as an agent in either scenario as described
above. The Company considers its Partners, in particular online travel agencies (“OTAs”), or the rental property
owners and managers to be its customers. Only the CPA contracts and the specific bookings taken together
would constitute a contract under IFRS 15. Typically, these bookings are cancellable at any time. The contracts
with the OTA partners stipulate that HomeToGo only earns CPA for bookings that facilitate a stay. Furthermore,
for the majority of contracts the payment claim of HomeToGo only comes into existence once the check-in of
the traveler has occurred. HomeToGo also engages in a multitude of post-booking activities that facilitate the
check-in (hence the stay of the traveler), e.g. customer support for the traveler. These activities are not distinct
from each other and are not separate performance obligations. It is therefore management’s judgement to
define the single performance obligation of the Group’s CPA transactions as ‘successful booking’ which
facilitates a stay. Therefore, the revenues for CPA transactions are recognized at the same point in time as the
check-in date of the traveler when HomeToGo’s performance obligation is satisfied. Payments received from
Partners for bookings where check-in has not occurred yet are recognized as contract liabilities.
For CPC or CPL transactions, HomeToGo receives a fixed commission based on every successful inquiry or
referral click. As opposed to CPA transactions, each click or inquiry initiated by the traveler through the
HomeToGo platform with referral to the partner website is considered a distinct promised service. HomeToGo
has an enforceable payment claim based on the monthly click volume and is not subject to cancellation or
similar risks. Therefore, the ‘simple referral’ through CPC meets the criteria of a performance obligation which
is satisfied at a point in time i.e. with the click through the partner website. HomeToGo recognizes the revenue
for CPC at the corresponding click date.
In HomeToGo’s subscription contracts, property managers or owners pay in advance for Software as a Service
("SaaS") and online advertising services related to the listing of their properties for rent over a fixed period,
which is usually one year. As the performance obligation is the SaaS or listing service and is provided to the
property manager/owner over time of use (SaaS) or the life of the listing period, the Subscriptions & Services
IFRS Revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the time of use (SaaS) or listing period respectively.
Amounts received as prepayment are recognized as contract liabilities.
Variable consideration might occur in the form of performance-based bonuses with respect to revenue based
on bonus agreements that can be agreed for CPL and CPA transactions. HomeToGo includes variable
consideration estimated in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant
reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with
the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
e)Intangible assets and goodwill
Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and
accumulated impairment losses, if any. The useful life of intangible assets is assessed as either finite or
indefinite. Refer to Note 19 - Intangible assets and goodwill for further details regarding the carrying amount of
HomeToGo’s intangible asset balances and to Note 6 - Business Combinations and other acquisitions with
respect to information on goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business combinations.
Intangible assets with a finite useful life
Intangible assets with a finite useful life consist of licenses, trademarks and domains, customer relationships,
order backlog and internally generated software.
In accordance with IAS 38, development costs that are directly attributable to the design, coding and testing of
identifiable software modules controlled by the Group are recognized as intangible assets where the following
criteria are met: 1) It is technically feasible to complete the software so that it will be available for use, 2)
management intends to complete the software and use or sell it, 3) there is an ability to use or sell the
software, 4) it can be demonstrated how the software will generate probable future economic benefits, 5)
adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software
are available, 6) and the expenditure attributable to the software during its development can be reliably
measured. Directly attributable costs that are capitalized as part of the software include employee costs and
other directly attributable costs. Software maintenance costs are recognized as an expense incurred.
36
Intangible assets with a finite life are amortized over their estimated useful life on a straight-line basis and
assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The
amortization period and the amortization method of intangible assets with a finite useful life are reviewed at
least annually, with any changes treated as changes in accounting estimates. Changes in the expected useful
life or the expected pattern of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits are considered when
assessing the amortization method and useful life of the asset.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Asset type
Estimated useful life
Software and licenses
3 to 5 years
Trademarks
3 to 15 years
Customer relationship
up to 10 years
Order backlog
1 year
Internally generated software
3 to 7 years
Goodwill
indefinite
Intangible assets and goodwill
HomeToGo’s goodwill originated from the acquisitions of subsidiaries and is included in intangible assets and
goodwill. Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the net identifiable assets
acquired at fair value. Refer to Note 6 for further details on Business Combinations.
Goodwill is not subject to amortization but tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or
changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Refer to accounting policy on business
combination and goodwill in section p).
f)Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any. Historical cost includes any expenditures that are directly attributable to the
acquisition of the asset, including costs incurred to prepare the asset for its intended use.
Property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over each asset’s expected useful life.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at least annually and adjusted
prospectively, if appropriate.
HomeToGo applies the following useful lives when estimating depreciation of property and equipment:
Asset type
Estimated useful life
Leasehold improvements
2 to 15 years
Other equipment and office equipment
2 to 13 years
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the underlying lease or the expected useful life of
the asset.
All repair and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred.
HomeToGo assesses property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever there is an indication of
potential impairment.
g)Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the
arrangement at inception. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfillment of the arrangement is
dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or
37
assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement. HomeToGo assesses at the inception of
the contract whether the contract is or contains a lease.
HomeToGo’s leases consist of real estate, car leasing and distinct server leases. Lease terms are negotiated on
an individual basis and may contain a range of different terms and conditions. Lease contracts may be
negotiated for fixed period or include extension options.
To determine the lease terms, all facts and circumstances which offer economic incentives to exercise
extension options are included. If it is reasonably certain that a lease term will be extended, the related
extension option is included. The lease terms include fixed payments as well as variable payments that depend
on an index or rate.
Management of HomeToGo reviews the contractual and current market conditions individually when
determining whether an extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised.
The lease liability is measured at the date of commencement of the lease as the present value of the expected
lease payments. To determine the present value, HomeToGo discounts the remaining lease payments with the
incremental borrowing rate of the lessee. The incremental borrowing rate is the interest rate that HomeToGo
would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an
asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset as the underlying lease agreement in a similar economic
environment.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost at the date of commencement of the lease. The cost is comprised of
the initial lease liability measurement and any lease payments made before the commencement date, less any
lease incentives received and estimated cost of dismantling and removing the underlying asset incurred by the
lessee.
Right-of-use assets are presented in the balance sheet as part of property, plant and equipment.
After the commencement date, HomeToGo measures right-of-use assets at cost less accumulated depreciation
and any accumulated impairment losses.
For subsequent measurement, the carrying amount of the lease liability is increased to reflect the interest on
the lease liability and reduced to reflect the lease payments made. The finance expenses associated with the
lease term are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over
the lease term.
No impairment losses have been identified on HomeToGo’s right-of-use assets in 2022 and 2021.
HomeToGo elected to apply an exemption for low value leases and short-term leases in accordance with IFRS
16. Low value leases are leases with contract amounts below EUR 5 thousand. Short-term leases relate to lease
agreements with a lease term of less than 12 months. Lease payments associated with low value leases and
short-term leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Accordingly, no right-of-use assets
or lease liabilities are recognized for low value and short-term leases.
h)Impairment of non-financial assets
HomeToGo assesses whether an asset may be impaired at each reporting date. If any indication of impairment
exists, or when annual impairment testing for such an asset is required, HomeToGo estimates the asset’s
recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash generating unit's (CGU)
fair value less costs of disposal or its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset,
unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or
groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is
considered impaired and written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
HomeToGo does not use the fair value less costs of disposal method when assessing the recoverable amount of
its non-financial assets.
HomeToGo bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecasted cash flows. Impairment losses
are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in expense
categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an
indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist or has decreased.
38
If such indication exists, HomeToGo estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount.
Financial instruments - Initial recognition and subsequent events
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value
through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow
characteristics and HomeToGo’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables
that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical
expedient, HomeToGo initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset
not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant
financing component or for which HomeToGo has applied the practical expedient are measured at the
transaction price.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortized cost or fair value through OCI, it needs
to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount
outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. Financial
assets with cash flows that are not SPPI are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss,
irrespective of the business model.
HomeToGo’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order
to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting
contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Financial assets classified and measured at
amortized cost are held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect
contractual cash flows while financial assets classified and measured at fair value through OCI are held within a
business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
•Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments)
•Financial assets at fair value through OCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments)
•Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon
derecognition (equity instruments)
•Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (equity instruments, money market funds)
Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments)
Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are
subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized,
modified or impaired.
In the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), financial assets are measured at
amortized cost and include trade and other receivables and other financial assets.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (equity instruments)
The group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of financial
assets at FVTPL, in particular to investments in money market funds, are recognized in profit or loss in the
period in which it arises.
39
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is
derecognized (i.e., removed from HomeToGo’s consolidated statement of financial position) when:
•The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired
or
•HomeToGo has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to
pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’
arrangement; and either (a) HomeToGo has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset,
or (b) HomeToGo has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset,
but has transferred control of the asset.
When HomeToGo has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-
through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership.
When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor
transferred control of the asset, HomeToGo continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of its
continuing involvement. In that case, HomeToGo also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset
and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that HomeToGo has
retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower
of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that HomeToGo could
be required to repay.
Impairment
HomeToGo recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair
value through profit or loss, if the exposure is material, presented under General and administrative expenses.
For trade receivables, HomeToGo applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, HomeToGo does
not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting
date if the exposure is material. HomeToGo has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical
credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic
environment.
The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 365 days past due. However, in
certain cases, HomeToGo may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external
information indicates that HomeToGo is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before
taking into account any credit enhancements held by HomeToGo. A financial asset is written off when there is
no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
HomeToGo holds trade receivables from contracts with partners as of December 31, 2022 of EUR 13.5 million,
as of December 31, 2021 of EUR 9.8 million. These have been impaired by EUR 1.7 million, 2021: EUR 0.8
million.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, either as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss or as financial liabilities at amortized cost.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and other
payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
HomeToGo’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, as well as loans and borrowings including
bank overdrafts as well as financial liabilities from warrants.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in two categories:
•Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
•Financial liabilities at amortized cost
40
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial
liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the
near term.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the statement of profit or loss. The Group has
classified the Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants as financial liabilities as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities at amortized cost
This is the category in accounting for loans and borrowings, except for Class A and Class B Warrants described
above. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized
cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the
liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs
that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit
or loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms,
or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as
the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective
carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement
of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is
an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants as of the measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the
most advantageous market to which HomeToGo has access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its
non-performance risk.
HomeToGo measures the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in an active market for that
instrument, if such price is available. A market is regarded as ‘‘active’’ if transactions for the asset or liability
take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
If there is no quoted price in an active market, then HomeToGo uses valuation techniques that maximize the
use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation
technique incorporates all factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction.
In determining the appropriate fair value measurement for financial assets and liabilities, the Group involves an
independent external valuation expert, who uses appropriate valuation techniques.
Based on the input parameters used for measuring the fair values are assigned to one of the following levels of
the fair value hierarchy for purposes of disclosure:
•Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities,
•Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices), and
•Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable
inputs).
41
i)Treasury Shares
Treasury shares of HomeToGo SE are recognized with their acquisition costs paid to repurchase its own shares.
They result from the redemption process as part of the de-SPAC transaction on September 21, 2021. The
acquisition costs for the own shares are deducted from equity. All shares redeemed are Class A Shares.
Management may use treasury shares to settle share-based payment obligations, service warrant exercises and
as part of consideration in case of business combinations. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the
purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the own shares.
j)Provisions
HomeToGo recognizes provisions when it has a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past
event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the
present value of management´s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at
the end of the reporting period. The increase in provision due to the passage of time and unwinding of the
discount rate is recognized as finance expenses.
k)Income taxes
Current income taxes
Current income tax is the expected tax payable or receivable based on the taxable income or loss for the period
and the tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted as of the reporting date. Management
periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation
is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on amounts expected to be paid
to the tax authorities. In case of uncertainties related to income taxes, they are accounted for in accordance
with IFRIC 23 and IAS 12 based on the best estimate of those uncertainties.
HomeToGo establishes tax liabilities based on expected tax payments. Liabilities for trade taxes, corporate
taxes and similar taxes on income are determined based on the taxable income of the consolidated entities less
any prepayments made. Calculation of tax liabilities is based on the recent tax rates applicable in the tax
jurisdiction of HomeToGo.
Deferred taxes
Deferred taxes are recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable income and are
accounted for using the balance sheet-liability method.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets
are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against which deductible
temporary differences can be utilized.
However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill.
Furthermore, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference
arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a
transaction that affects neither taxable income, nor the accounting profit.
Current and deferred tax is charged or credited in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the
current or deferred tax is also recognized directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using tax rates expected to be in place in the period of
realization of the associated asset or liability, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period in the respective jurisdiction.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it
is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be
recovered.
l)Earnings (Loss) per share
HomeToGo presents earnings (loss) per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings (loss) per share is
calculated by dividing the net income of the period attributable to the owners of the Company by the weighted
42
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. HomeToGo only issued ordinary shares
according to IAS 33, all of which are outstanding, because all share classes are subject to the same dividend
entitlement with regard to the earnings for the period. The potential ordinary shares were not taken into
account, because the effect on loss per share would have been antidilutive. The weighted average number of
shares is calculated from the number of shares in circulation at the beginning of the period adjusted by the
number of shares issued during the period and multiplied by a time-weighting factor. The time-weighting factor
reflects the ratio of the number of days on which shares were issued and the total number of days of the
period.
m)Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of HomeToGo that engages in business activities from which it may earn
Revenues and incur expenses and for which discrete financial information is available and used by the Chief
Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to make decisions around resource allocation and review operating
results of HomeToGo. HomeToGo identified the CEO of the Company as the CODM and operates under only
one operating segment and therefore the consolidated financial information represents the segment reporting.
n)Share-based compensation and other employee benefits
The Group granted remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby management and employees
render services as consideration for equity instruments of the Group (equity-settled transactions).
The measurement of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is
made using an appropriate valuation model in accordance with IFRS 2. Costs are recognized within profit or loss
together with a corresponding increase in equity (share-based payment reserves), over the period in which the
service and, where applicable, the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). The cumulative
expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the
extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity
instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the statement of profit or loss for a period
represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period. Service
and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value
of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of HomeToGo’s best estimate of
the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within
the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service
requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value
of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are also service and/or performance
conditions. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance
and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the
transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied,
provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied. When the terms of an equity-
settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the grant date fair value of the unmodified
award, provided the original vesting terms of the award are met. An additional expense, measured as at the
date of modification, is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based
payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or
by the counterparty, any remaining element of the grant date fair value of the award is credited immediately
through profit or loss.
The Group sometimes engages in share-based payment transactions to acquire goods or services from parties
other than employees, e.g. as part of business combinations. The goods or services received in exchange for
shares should be measured at the fair value of those goods or services. It is presumed that the fair value of
goods or services can be measured reliably in the case of transactions with parties other than employees. If this
presumption is rebutted, the fair value is measured indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity
instruments granted as consideration. Employee services or unidentifiable goods or services are measured
indirectly at the date on which the equity instruments are granted. The fair value is not subsequently re-
measured after the grant date.
Employee Benefits
The Group also has liabilities for long service leave and annual leave that are not expected to be settled wholly
within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. These
obligations are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of
43
services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period, using the projected unit credit method.
Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and
periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting
period of high-quality corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the
estimated future cash outflows.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an
unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period, regardless of when
the actual settlement is expected to occur.
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the group before the normal retirement
date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The group recognizes
termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the group can no longer withdraw the offer
of those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognizes costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37
and involves the payment of terminations benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary
redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the
offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present
value.
The Group has long-term incentive plans for two managing directors as a result of a business combination. The
managing directors will be entitled to a payment of up to EUR 2.0 million each after fulfilling a service period of
30 months after acquisition and meeting related sales-based performance goals. The liability is presented
under long-term financial liabilities and subjected to linear vesting over the service period. If one of the
managing directors is leaving before the end of the service period the respective claim is forfeited while the
other managing directors claim is not.
o)Government grants
Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all
attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as
income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate,
are expensed. The Group has chosen to present grants related to an expense item as other operating income in
the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
p)Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured
as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value. Acquisition-
related costs are expensed as incurred and included in General and administrative expenses.
The Group determines if a transaction is to be accounted for as a business combination, using the
concentration test and by determining that it has acquired a business when the acquired set of activities and
assets include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create
outputs. The acquired process is considered substantive if it is critical to the ability to continue producing
outputs, and the inputs acquired include an organized workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge, or
experience to perform that process or it significantly contributes to the ability to continue producing outputs
and is considered unique or scarce or cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay in the ability
to continue producing outputs.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition
date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the
scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, is measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in the
statement of profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost (being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and
any previous interest held over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed). If the fair value of
the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group reassesses whether it
has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures
used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an
excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is
recognized in profit or loss.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose
of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to
44
the group of CGUs. The allocation is made to those groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the
business combination in which the goodwill arose. The units or groups of units are identified at the lowest level
at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, being the one operating segment.
HomeToGo Group operates under one segment that comprises seven CGUs. Besides the CGU HomeToGo that
comprises the operating entities HomeToGo and Casamundo Management identifies the acquired businesses
Feries, Escapada Rural, Smoobu, AMIVAC, e-domizil and SECRA as separate CGUs for the purpose of testing
assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment on the basis of the seven
combined CGUs as the synergies from the business combinations are benefiting the business of the whole
Group. The Group level is the lowest at which management captures information for internal management
reporting purposes about the benefits of goodwill.
Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

6 - Business Combinations and other acquisitions
AMIVAC
On August 29, 2021, HS Holiday Search GmbH entered into a share transfer agreement for AMIVAC SAS
(“AMIVAC”) whereby the sole shareholder had to sell all shares in AMIVAC if the French workers council agreed
to the transaction. With the fulfillment of the condition, HS Holiday Search GmbH entered into a share
purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in AMIVAC for EUR 4.2 million with a holdback amount of
EUR 1.0 million on October 27, 2021, with the agreed closing date being January 1, 2022.
As part of the agreement, the seller carved out all assets related to its vacation business unit and transferred
those to AMIVAC until January 1, 2022. As a result, AMIVAC holds three complementary platforms offering
vacation rental listings and an IT platform. In addition, the seller provided operational support through a service
agreement to run AMIVAC’s vacation rental business as usual during 2022.
Given that HomeToGo had no controlling rights as of December 31, 2021, the first-time consolidation of
AMIVAC only took place on January 1, 2022. Apart from the holdback amount of EUR 1.0 million, which was
shown within other financial liabilities, EUR 3.2 million were fully paid as of December 31, 2021.
The final allocation of the consideration to assets and liabilities assumed as of January 1, 2022, as part of the
business combination is shown in the following table:

A total deferred tax liability of EUR 155 thousand was recognized based on the local tax rate of 25%.
The goodwill recognized as part of the business combination relates to synergy effects with HomeToGo’s
marketplace and AMIVAC’s market position within the subscription business. It will not be deductible for tax
purposes. The goodwill is allocated to the CGU HomeToGo due to the expected synergy effects with the
HomeToGo platform through the access to additional inventory and further traffic.
Acquisition related costs of EUR 52 thousand are included in General and administrative expenses in the
consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
The acquired business contributed Revenues of EUR 2.3 million and a net loss of EUR 0.5 thousand to
HomeToGo during the financial year 2022.
The composition of the cash consideration, including partial payments of the holdback, and the impact on the
consolidated statements of cash flows during the reporting period can be derived from the following table:

e-domizil
With signing on March 31, 2022, HomeToGo GmbH and e-vacation Group Holding GmbH (the former
shareholder) entered into a sale and purchase agreement (‘SPA’) for 100% of the shares in e-domizil GmbH
located in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, for a total preliminary consideration of EUR 44.7 million. The total
preliminary consideration is composed of a preliminary cash portion in the amount of EUR 42.8 million
including a working capital adjustment in the amount of EUR 0.4 million and shares of HomeToGo SE equivalent
to the amount of EUR 1.9 million based on the agreed share price at closing date. EUR 4.0 million of the
preliminary cash consideration was paid to an escrow account and will be transferred to the former
shareholder in November 2023.
e-domizil has two subsidiaries that were included in the acquisition: e-domizil AG (located in Zurich,
Switzerland) and Atraveo GmbH (located in Düsseldorf, Germany).
e-domizil is a marketplace in the industry for alternative accommodations and is focused on the homeowner as
a customer. e-domizil simplifies the rental process including the collection process for the homeowner and
offers interfaces to third-party systems as well as e-domizil’s own websites. For its services, the subgroup is
entitled to commission depending on the rental price. e-domizil was acquired to strengthen the Group's
position in the alternative accommodation industry, further increasing its inventory reach.
The closing accounts and thus the purchase price determination have not been finalized as of December 31,
2022 due to unforeseen delays in support from seller side. Therefore, the purchase price allocation is subject to
changes that might affect the acquired goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the consideration to assets and
liabilities assumed as of April 1, 2022, as part of the business combination is shown in the following table:

The goodwill recognized as part of the business combination relates to synergy effects with HomeToGo’s
marketplace and e-domizil’s market position within the vacation rental business. It will not be deductible for
tax purposes. The goodwill is allocated to the CGU HomeToGo due to the expected synergy effects with the
HomeToGo platform through the access to additional inventory and further traffic.
The fair value of acquired trade receivables is EUR 397 thousand and equals the gross contractual amount for
trade receivables less loss allowances.
47
Acquisition-related costs of EUR 588 thousand are included in General and administrative expenses in the
consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
The acquired business contributed Revenues of EUR 25.2 million and a net income of EUR 4.0 million to
HomeToGo for the period from April 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022. The Revenues vary during the financial
year due to the seasonality of the business, with a peak during the summer. If the acquisition had occurred on
January 1, 2022, consolidated pro-forma Revenues and net loss for the combined entity (Group + e-domizil) for
the financial year 2022 would have been EUR 149.5 million and EUR (56.3) million respectively. These amounts
have been calculated using the subsidiaries’ results and adjusting them for
•differences in the accounting policies between the group and the subsidiaries,
•and the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair
value adjustments to intangible assets had applied from January 1, 2022, together with the
consequential tax effects.
The composition of the cash consideration and the impact on the statements of cash flows during the reporting
period can be derived from the following table:

SECRA
After the purchase of a 19% stake in SECRA GmbH ("SECRA GmbH") and SECRA Bookings GmbH ("SECRA
Bookings") both located in Sierksdorf, Germany on August 23, 2021 HomeToGo acquired the remaining 81% of
the shares of both entities from SECRA Holding GmbH that is owned by the managing directors of both
acquired legal entities on May 31, 2022 leading to a business combination that was achieved in stages.
The transaction is accounted for as a step acquisition. Before the business combination both SECRA
investments were accounted for under IFRS 9 as investments at fair value through profit and loss. The fair value
of the SECRA investments immediately before the business combination accounted for EUR 3.4 million in total
leading to a loss of EUR (0.2) million from the fair value revaluation incurred for the period January 1 until May
31, 2022 that is presented under finance expenses.
Besides the fair value of EUR 3.4 million of the investments already held, the consideration totaling EUR 14.6
million comprises of a cash portion in the amount of EUR 10.0 million, shares of HomeToGo SE equivalent to
the amount of EUR 2.0 million and an earn-out liability of 2.6 million. In the event that certain pre-determined
revenue targets are achieved by the subsidiaries for the years ending December 31, 2022 and December 31,
2023, an additional contingent consideration of up to EUR 2.7 million may be payable in cash up to three
months after the end of each relevant financial year, i.e. 2022 and 2023. HomeToGo recognized a financial
liability in the amount of EUR 2.6 million as of the acquisition date. The expectation compared to the
preliminary PPA is higher due to better information on the business plan that was not available for the
preliminary PPA leading to an adjusting effect to the date of acquisition. The resulting liability is measured at
fair value (Level 3) through profit and loss. Management expects the earn-out thresholds to be reached in full
in both years. For derivation of the fair value an interest rate of 3.3% has been used. The earn-out is considered
as part of the consideration transferred increasing the Goodwill by the fair value assumed as of acquisition date
of EUR 2.6 million. From the purchase price, an amount of EUR 4.0 million was transferred to an escrow
account and will be payable after December 31, 2024, only if both former shareholders who continue to work
for HomeToGo as managing directors do not forfeit their entitlement as a result of  specified leaver clauses
before that date. In case one of the two managing directors is leaving prior to the end of the respective service
period the respective claim of up to EUR 2.0 million per managing director expires. The agreement includes a
service component and is accounted for as a separate transaction in accordance with IAS 19. The claims for
these escrow amounts are recognized in General and administrative expenses over the vesting period until
December 31, 2024 using linear vesting.
The object of business of each of the legal entities is the planning, development, provision, and operation of
websites including its own listing/online booking portal Ostsee-Ferienwohnungen.de as well as the planning,
48
development, provision, and operation of software solutions for the management of vacation rentals and their
marketing via channel management technology. For their services, both the SECRA Bookings and the SECRA
GmbH, are entitled to either a subscription fee or a service fee for booking services, depending on the rental
price. Thus, Revenues from SECRA are shown under Revenues from Subscriptions & Services. SECRA GmbH and
SECRA Bookings were acquired to further strengthen the Group's position in the SaaS and Services sector of the
alternative accommodation industry and increasing its inventory reach for the HomeToGo marketplace.

tax purposes. The goodwill is allocated to the CGU HomeToGo due to the expected synergy effects with the
HomeToGo platform through the access to additional inventory and further traffic.
Acquisition-related costs of EUR 115 thousand are included in General and administrative expenses in the
consolidated statement of or loss and other comprehensive loss.
The acquired business contributed Revenues of EUR 8.9 million and a net loss of EUR 1.2 million to HomeToGo
for the period from June 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022,
consolidated pro-forma Revenues and net loss for the combined entity (Group + SECRA) for the financial year
2022 would have been EUR 148.9 million and EUR (53.8) million respectively. These amounts have been
calculated using the subsidiaries results and adjusting them for
•differences in the accounting policies between the group and the subsidiary, and
•the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value
adjustments to intangible assets had applied from January 1, 2022, together with the consequential
tax effects.

7 - Critical accounting judgments, key estimates and assumptions
The preparation of HomeToGo’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires
Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues,
expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying notes disclosures and the disclosure of contingent
liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material
adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are subject to continuous review.
Below is a summary of the critical measurement and accounting judgements, including disclosure of the key
assumptions used by Management in applying accounting policies based on future developments, and which
could have significant effects on carrying amounts stated in the consolidated financial statements, or for which
there is a risk that significant adjustments may need to be made to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities
in subsequent years.
a)Critical accounting judgements
Classification of Class A and B Warrants
As of September 21, 2021 HomeToGo consummated the de-SPAC transaction. As part of this de-SPAC
transaction HomeToGo took over public and non-public warrants, which had been issued by Lakestar SPAC
prior to the Transaction and accounted for the assumption of the warrants initially as an equity-settled share-
based payment arrangement under IFRS 2, rather than as financial liabilities under IFRS 9. As a result of the IFRS
IC agenda decision on Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPAC): Accounting for Warrants at Acquisition
issued on October 24, 2022), the Group reassessed its accounting for the warrants acquired through the
business combination with Lakestar SPAC and recorded such warrants as a financial liability at fair value
through profit or loss. For further details regarding the change in accounting policy refer to Note 35 - Change in
accounting policy - Classification of warrants. Prior year financial statements including all related notes have
been adjusted for that change.
Internally generated intangible assets
For individual software modules, Management sometimes applies judgement to determine the point in time
where research can be separated from development activities. In connection with management judgement
about the future economic benefit of software modules, the Group uses assumptions regarding the future
performance of the software modules concerned and their implications on the Group's business activities to
distinguish between substantial enhancements and maintenance/bug fixing. While development expenses for
substantial enhancements are capitalized, efforts for maintenance/bug fixing are operating expenses.
In 2022 HomeToGo capitalized EUR 3.8 million (2021:1.5 million) as internally generated software.
Government Grants
In 2020, HomeToGo received governments grants recognized as income for investment in new employments.
The granting of subsidies is subject to the condition that investments are made in permanent jobs and that the
payroll exceeds a certain amount in the grant period from August 19, 2019 to February 18, 2023. The
management of HomeToGo assumed that the conditions of reaching a certain level of personnel-related
expenses are and will be met with reasonable assurance. Therefore, HomeToGo initially recognized the full
receivable amounting to EUR 1.9 million under the grant in 2020 from which EUR 0.5 million have already been
received in 2021 and further EUR 0.5 million were received in January 2023.
As of December 31, 2022 management of HomeToGo has re-estimated the maximum amounts for the payroll
and investments that could be reached until the end of the grant period and determined that the maximum
amount that could be received under the grant agreement will amount to EUR 1.3 million. Thus, the receivable
for the outstanding grant had to be reduced to EUR 0.9 million as of December 31, 2022. Until December 31,
2022 EUR 1.2 million were accrued as other income out of which EUR 0.1 million relate to the fiscal year 2022.
50
b)Key estimates and assumptions
Incremental borrowing rate
The incremental borrowing rate for lease accounting is determined based on interest rates from various
external financial data adjusted to reflect the terms of the lease and the nature of the leased asset. For
additional information with respect to extension options refer to Note 4.
Impairment of goodwill and trademarks
At least annually, or when circumstances indicate a potential impairment event may have occurred, HomeToGo
assesses whether goodwill and trademarks acquired in business combinations are impaired. The CGUs which
resulted from the business combinations were tested for impairment as part of the annual goodwill impairment
test. Key assumptions used in HomeToGo’s impairment assessments of these assets include forecasted cash
flows of the business, estimated discount rate, and future growth rates. Management uses internal and
external data to develop these key assumptions. This includes consideration of any impact of the Covid-19
pandemic, inflationary pressure including rising interest rates with negative impact on consumers discretionary 
income, fears in regard to a broader war in Europe and of any impact of the ongoing discussion about climate
change. Refer to Note 19 - Intangible assets and goodwill.
Litigation
HomeToGo Group has set up provisions for litigations that could not be settled by the date the consolidated
financial statements of HomeToGo were authorized for issue. The provisions are measured with the best
estimate of the amount to be paid. Due to the inherent uncertainty of a litigation the possible financial risk
might even be higher than the estimated amount. Refer to Note 26 - Provisions (current and non-current).
Fair value determination for share-based payment arrangements and derivative financial
liabilities
Share-based payment arrangements
The Group operates equity-settled share-based compensation plans, pursuant to which certain participants are
granted virtual shares or stock options of the Company. Prior to the de-SPAC transaction, due to the lack of
quoted market prices prior, the Group determined the grant date fair value for the measurement of the equity-
settled transactions at the grant date with a valuation model, considering certain assumptions relating to the
volatility of stock price, the determination of an appropriate risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The
share price input is based on the company's valuation. See Note 30 - Share-based payments for details on the
plan.
In past settlements the beneficiaries' claim was settled partially in equity and cash to fulfill the tax withholding
obligations of the Company and transfer the tax payable to the tax authority. In the process an excess amount
between the general tax rate applied and the actual personal tax rate was transferred directly to the
beneficiary. For future settlements the expected amounts in excess of the employee's tax obligation associated
with the share-based payment are accounted for as a cash-settled share-based payment plan. The resulting
liability is remeasured at each reporting date.
51
8 - Segment and geographic information
In line with the management approach, the operating segment was identified on the basis of HomeToGo’s
internal reporting and how the CODM assesses the performance of the business. On this basis, HomeToGo
identifies as a single operating and therefore the consolidated financial information represents the segment
reporting.
In the reporting period two single customers accounted for more than 10% of HomeToGo’s Revenues:

million and to the rest of world in total EUR 49.6 million, 2021: EUR 38.2 million. Due to the reverse acquisition
of HomeToGo SE (formerly Lakestar SPAC) by HomeToGo GmbH in 2021, Germany is still treated as the entity's
country of domicile, because the Group's main operations sit here.
Non-current assets located in the entity's country of domicile amounting to EUR 119.3 million, 2021: EUR 50.5
million and in all foreign countries amounting to EUR 39.9 million, 2021: EUR 34.6 million.

8,788
146,839
94,839
CPA Onsite reflect Revenues from bookings made directly on HomeToGo platforms while CPA Offsite Revenues
are generated on Partner's platforms.
For CPA and CPC Revenues, typically the payment occurs shortly after the performance obligation is satisfied.
However, for certain agreements, customers pay in advance leading to a certain amount of fees which are
presented under contract liabilities. Subscription & Services Revenues are generally collected before the
performance obligation is satisfied over time leading to a high balance of contract liabilities, which is
subsequently released over the performance period.
The 2022 increase in Revenues is explained by the expansion of the Group's business activities, a further
increase in travel activity as well as additional Revenues from acquisitions.
Revenues recognized in the financial years 2022 and 2021 from contract liabilities were EUR 3.9 million and
EUR 2.9 million respectively. All amounts recognized from contract liabilities are recognized as Revenues within
the subsequent year. Refer to Note 28 - Other liabilities (current and non-current) for further information on
contract liabilities. No information is provided about remaining performance obligations as of December 31,
2022 and December 31, 2021 since all performance obligations are originally expected to be satisfied within
one year or less, as allowed by IFRS 15.121.

Overall increase in Cost of Revenues compared to the prior year is mainly due to the amortization of order
backlog acquired with e-domizil and increased expenses for hosting and domains due to a higher amount of
traffic on the Group's platforms.

Performance marketing activities are scaled to bringing demand to the Group’s booking platforms and
converting website visitors to users who make bookings. The increase in 2022 performance marketing expenses
results from the Group's increased customer acquisition and retention investments. Personnel-related
expenses increased due to acquisitions.

The increase in personnel-related expenses is in line with the growth of the Group's number of employees, see
Note 18 - Personnel expenses for further details.
The increase in expenses for third-party services is related to the Group's increased expenses as a public
company.
Other have mainly increased due to a donation of EUR 0.5 million.
In 2021 expenses for share-based compensation contained a non-cash expense for the listing service of EUR
70.4 million incurred as part of the accounting for the de-SPAC transaction.
Consulting expenses are significantly down compared to the prior year due to the Group's increased expenses
incurred in the prior year as part of the Transaction.
14 - Other income and expenses
Other income includes foreign exchange gains of EUR 1.6 million (2021: EUR 1.6 million) and government grant
related income in 2022 of EUR 0.3 million (2021: EUR 9.3 million). Furthermore, other income includes income
from the release of a provision in the amount of EUR 0.8 million in 2022 due to the successful conclusion of a
legal dispute in favor of the Group in the current year.
There are future conditions or other contingencies attached to the expense related grants. HomeToGo did not
benefit directly from any other forms of government assistance in 2022. Income from government grants in
2022 is significantly lower than in 2021 due to Covid-19 state aid granted in the prior year.
Other expenses include foreign exchange losses of EUR 0.5 million (2021: EUR 0.6 million).

Classification of warrants for further details. Expenses from remeasurement to fair value include the
revaluation of a money market fund in the amount of EUR 0.5 million (2021: EUR 0.0 million) and in the amount
of EUR 0.8 million (2021: income from remeasurement to fair value in the amount of EUR 0.4 million) relate to
the revaluation of the 19% investment stake in SECRA held immediately before the acquisition of the remaining
shares on May 31, 2022, see Note 6 - Business Combinations and other acquisitions for further details. In 2021,
expenses from remeasurement to fair value also relate to the remeasurement of embedded derivatives
resulting from convertible loans that were fully converted into shares of the Company in the prior year.
16 - Income taxes
The HomeToGo SE is subject to taxation under the laws of Luxembourg. In 2022, the overall tax rate is 24.94%
(2021: 24.94%), consisting of corporate tax rate of 17%, a 7% solidary surcharge on the corporate tax rate and a

For the calculation of diluted earnings per share, the share-based payment programs were considered. In
accordance with IAS 33.58, settlement in ordinary shares was assumed for contracts where the Company has
the option to settle in cash or in ordinary shares. These potential ordinary shares were not taken into account,
because the effect on loss per share would have been antidilutive. As a result, basic earnings per share
corresponds to diluted earnings per share.

Goodwill impairment test
The recoverable amount of the group of CGUs is determined based on the value in use. The key assumptions
for determining the value in use are those regarding the cash flows, discount rates and growth rates. The
values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future trends in the relevant
industry and have been based on historical data from both external and internal sources.
The future cash flows were estimated with the underlying assumption that the Covid-19 pandemic opened up
an increased market potential for vacation rentals as more traveler used vacation rental for the first time to
avoid hotel accommodations. These travelers saw the benefits of vacation rentals and thus, there is the
assumption for a sustainable positive trend in the upcoming years. In addition, the pandemic has provided an
additional market potential for remote working while traveling, or "workation". Travelers are enabled by their
employers to extend their holidays and to work for example a week ahead of the actual holidays or a week
after at the destination of their travel. Thus, travelers are staying in a holiday area for three weeks instead of
two weeks. Further, the Management Board sees travelers becoming longer term rental customers, for
example staying over the winter abroad instead of for example in Germany. Before the pandemic this was not
an option for the majority of employees. These effects, combined with the Group’s ambitious measures to
grow the business as an OTA, are driving a more optimistic business plan post COVID-19 and therefore higher
Revenues and EBITDA. Moreover, the increasing awareness in respect of the ecological impact of air travel
contributes to the general trend to prefer domestic or nearby vacation destinations. With its innovative
platforms and an increasing number of users and website visitors, the Management Board believes that
HomeToGo is well placed with its offerings to meet that expected change in travelling behavior and therefore
expects that it will be able to achieve its growth ambition. On that basis, the Group expects significant double-
digit growth over the next years. Hence, significant progress is already expected for 2023. The cash flow
projections are based on a detailed business plan for 5 years. Due to the high growth stage of HomeToGo, the
business plan was prolonged by four further planning years (based on yearly assumptions regarding the net
sales and margin development) to reflect a step-by-step declining growth of the Group until the terminal value.
Management estimates discount rates as a pre-tax measure derived from the historical industry average
weighted-average cost of capital. The WACC takes into account cost of equity and cost of debt, weighted
according to the portion of debt and equity in the Group's target capital structure. The cost of equity and cost
of debt are derived from the expected return an investor would require for an equity investment or debt
investment with similar risk. Segment-specific risks of the travel market are incorporated by applying a beta
factor. The beta factor is evaluated annually based on publicly available market data of comparable companies.
60
Adjustments to the discount rate are made to reflect a pre-tax discount rate. The additional basis was a market
risk premium and the risk-free interest rate.
The growth rates are based on industry growth forecasts. For 2022, Management has considered the lower end
of commonly applied growth rates to be appropriate as the planned growth for the coming years is expected to
exceed industry growth but will level out the long-term.

During the periods presented, no impairment was recognized. No change in a key assumption considered
possible by management would cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount. Even if the free
cash flows decreased by 50 % or the terminal growth rate was 0%, this would not result in any impairment.

Leasing activity during the reporting periods presented is comprised of office buildings and cars. The most
significant contract, which commenced in 2020, is the office building in Berlin, also resulting in significant
dismantling obligations.
Expenses related to low value leases and short-term leases amounted to EUR 15 thousand in the financial year
2022 (2021: EUR 8 thousand) and to EUR 100 thousand in the financial year 2022 (2021: EUR 270 thousand),
respectively.
The total cash outflow for leases amounted to EUR 1,507 thousand in 2022 (2021: EUR 1,512 thousand). It
includes the payment of the principal amounts, interest and short-term and low value leases.
62
Extension options are assumed to be reasonably certain to be exercised for all leases and are therefore
considered within the calculation of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
Lease liabilities are included in Other liabilities. See Note 27 - Other financial liabilities (current and non-
current). For the interest expense related to leases refer to Note 15.

acquisition of AMIVAC made in the prior year.
63
The increase in deposits is mainly explained by the acquisition of SECRA. As agreed in that acquisition EUR 4.0
million have been transferred to an escrow account. This deposit will be used to settle the liability to the
former shareholders building up until 2024 in other financial liabilities, refer to note 6 - Business Combinations

On September 21, 2021 HomeToGo GmbH and Lakestar SPAC (now HomeToGo SE) consummated the BCA
which led to the listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and a capital reorganization of the Group. 
The Company's Class A through Class B3 Shares in HomeToGo SE are non-par value shares and have been fully
paid. Class A Shares are publicly traded. As part of the de-SPAC transaction in September 2021 a total of 10.1
million Class A Shares were redeemed against capital reserves. Regarding the current stock of these treasury
shares, reference is made to the following paragraph under "Treasury Shares". Class B1 to B3 Shares are
neither redeemable nor transferable, assignable or sellable other than to the members of the Management or
Supervisory Board. Holders of Class A to B3 Shares are entitled to the same dividend and liquidation rights and
have one vote per share at general meetings.
As part of the consummation of the de-SPAC transaction all Class B1 shares were automatically converted into
Class A Shares at a ratio one for one. As at December 2022 and 2021, 4,583,333 Class B shares are issued and
outstanding. All Class B2 Shares will automatically convert into Class A Shares at a ratio one for one, once the
closing price of the Class A Shares for any ten trading days within a thirty trading day period exceeds EUR 12.
Similarly, all Class B3 Shares will automatically convert into Class A Shares at a ratio one for one, once the
closing price of the Class A Shares for any ten trading days within a thirty trading day period exceeds EUR 14.
There is no expiry date for the conversion of Class B2 Shares or Class B3 Shares into Class A Shares.
Capital reserves
Subscribed capital and capital reserves include received capital through the issuance of shares for cash or
premium in kind. See above for share issuances during the presented periods.
Retained earnings
Retained earnings include the accumulated losses attributable to the shareholders.
Treasury Shares
Treasury shares are shares in HomeToGo SE that are held by the Company as a result of the redemption
process as part of the de-SPAC transaction in September 2021. Shares redeemed in 2021 were recognized at
their redemption price of EUR 10.00 per share and deducted from equity attributable to the owners as treasury
shares until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any
65
consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income
tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the owners of the Company. As of the reporting the number of
treasury shares held is 8.1 million (2021: 10.1 million).
Foreign currency translation reserve
Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entity are recognized in other
comprehensive income, as described in Note 4 b), and accumulated in a separate reserve within equity. The
cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss when the net investment is disposed of.
Share-based payments reserve
The share-based payments reserve is used to capture the effect of share-based payment transactions. The
Group operates share-based payment plans, see Note 30 - Share-based payments for details of these plans. The
Company does not reclassify amounts for vested awards to other equity items.

Other provisions include provisions with regard to employment lawsuits, which were not decided in or out of
court at the time this annual report was prepared. The prospects of success are uncertain at the time of writing
due to the lack of a supreme court ruling in similar cases. The total amount of the provision for litigation
amounts to EUR 1.3 million and reflects the Managements' best estimate of the amount probable to be paid
resulting from the suits.
The provision for dismantling relates to HomeToGo's dismantling provisions for leasehold improvements.

during the reporting period.
Current other financial liabilities contain traveler advance payments collected in the amount of EUR 5.5 million
as of December 31, 2022 (2021: nil). These advance payments mainly relate to the newly acquired entity e-
domizil that provides collection services for their home owners. As part of these payment services, e-domizil
collects travelers' advance payments as well as advance payments for the booking services prior to the
traveler's check-in at the booked accommodation. The travelers' advance payments that e-domizil needs to
transfer to the homeowners right before check-in of the traveler are shown here under Other financial
67
liabilities, while the advance payments received for booking services are presented under Contract liabilities as
part of Other liabilities (current). Refer to the table under Note 28 - Other liabilities (current and non-current).
The amount of traveler advance payments as a portion of cash and cash equivalents with an amount of EUR 2.3

Combinations and other acquisitions for further information.Class A and Class B Warrants include public and
non-public warrants, which had been issued by Lakestar SPAC prior to the de-SPAC transaction in September
2021 of EUR 1.4 million. On February 19, 2021, the Company issued 9,166,666 Class A Warrants for a price of
EUR 10.00 per unit. Class A Warrants are publicly traded under ISIN of LU2290524383. Each Class A Warrants
entitles its holder to subscribe for one Class A Share, with a stated exercise price of EUR 11.50 subject to
customary anti-dilution adjustments. Holders of Class A Warrants can exercise the warrants on a cashless basis
unless the Company elects to require exercise against payment in cash of the exercise price. Class A Warrants
may only be exercised for a whole number of shares.  Class A Warrants expire five years from the date of the
consummation of the de-SPAC transaction, consummated on September 21, 2021, or earlier upon redemption
or liquidation. The Company may redeem Class A Warrants upon at least 30 days’ notice at a redemption price
of EUR 0.01 per Class A Warrant (i) if the closing price of its Class A Shares for any 20 out of the 30 consecutive
trading days following the consummation of the Business Combination equals or exceeds EUR 18.00 or (ii) if the
closing price of its Class A Shares for any 20 out of the 30 consecutive trading days following the consummation
of the Business Combination equals or exceeds EUR 10.00 but is below EUR 18.00, adjusted for adjustments to
the number of Class A Shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of Class A Share as described in the
prospectus. Holders of Class A Warrants may exercise them after the redemption notice is given.
On February 18, 2021, the Company issued 5,333,333 Class B Warrants at a price of EUR 1.50 per warrant. Class
B Warrants are identical to the Class A Warrants underlying the Units sold in the private placement, except that
the Class B Warrants are not redeemable and may always be exercised on a cashless basis while held by the
SPAC Founders or their Permitted Transferees (defined in the prospectus). Class B Warrants are not part of the
private placement and are not listed on a stock exchange.

29 - Deferred taxes
The change in deferred tax liabilities (DTLs), net was recognized as income tax expense (income) or through
acquisition of subsidiaries during 2021 and 2022. The unrecognized deferred tax assets (DTAs) amount to EUR
63.0 million (2021: EUR 59.8 million) and are mainly attributable to EUR 430 million (2021: EUR 381 million) for
unused tax losses and EUR 22.1 million (2021: EUR 10.2 million) unrecognized temporary differences.
The tax losses only incurred in Germany and Luxembourg. EUR 205 million (2021: EUR 182 million) of the tax
losses are attributable to German corporate income tax and EUR 203 million (2021: EUR 180 million) to German
trade tax. There is no expiry date for the cumulative tax losses except for tax losses in the amount of EUR 281
million (2021: EUR 19 million) in Luxembourg, which will expire after 17 years according to local tax regulations.
The Group has recognized a DTA on tax losses that arose in Luxembourg for HomeToGo SE of EUR 64 million,
mainly explained by the impairment of the investment in HomeToGo GmbH, netted by a DTL arising from
temporary difference on the investment held in the subsidiary of EUR 64 million.
The Group has further unused tax losses that arose in Luxembourg of EUR 22 million (2021: EUR 18 million) that
is available for 17 years, following the year in which incurred, for offsetting against future taxable profits of the
Company. No DTA has been recognized in respect of these losses as they may not be used to offset taxable
profits elsewhere in the Group. They have arisen in Luxembourg, where there's neither taxable income in
current year nor is expected in the incoming years. There are no other tax planning opportunities or other
evidence of recoverability in the near future.
There are temporary differences resulting from the Group's share-based compensation programs due to
different valuation methods according to IFRS and the tax base, leading to EUR 20.7 million deductible
differences according to IFRS compared to the tax base in 2022. It is uncertain to which extent and when these
temporary differences would reverse. They cannot be measured reliably as the future settlements of claims
resulting from exercises are dependent on several external factors that cannot be predicted reliably, especially
considering the Company's short history on the stock exchange. Thus, for these temporary differences no DTA
was recognized as December 31, 2022.
For the Class A and Class B Warrants, a DTA of EUR 0.4 million (2021: EUR 2.6 million) was not recognized as it
has been considered not recoverable.
The total amount of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries for which DTLs have not
been recognized amount to EUR 1.3 million (2021: EUR 0.3 million).

30 - Share-based payments
Virtual Option Plans prior to the de-SPAC - General
Prior to the de-SPAC, HomeToGo had implemented several virtual stock option programs ("VSOPs"). These old
programs were closed or settled as part of the de-SPAC transaction, i.e. no new beneficiaries can enter these
programs and no further awards are granted to existing beneficiaries. In the financial year 2022, these
programs were continued in an ordinary course considering settlements for leavers and releases of the IFRS 2
reserve in case of targets not being met for some performance-dependent vesting of options. All material
terms and conditions and the classification remain unchanged. The number of virtual options of all share-based
payment programs other than the new long-term incentive program that is further described below developed
as follows:

Of the outstanding 11,130 options as of December 31, 2022, 1,961 were vested. These options are exercisable
at the next scheduled settlement date since December 31, 2022 that took place in January 2023. The liability
for cash-settled obligations resulting from the settlement process as of December 31, 2022 amount to EUR 0.4
million and was measured at the share price as of December 31, 2022 of EUR 2.0.
New long-term incentive program - LTI
In 2022 a new long-term incentive ("LTI") program was established and during the interim period, for the new
LTI several grant agreements were made. The LTI comprises two different virtual programs, the Virtual Stock
Option Program (VSOP 2022) and the Restricted Stock Unit Program (RSUP 2022). Under both programs, Virtual
Stock Options (VSOs) and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) are granted to beneficiaries at the same time. Both the
VSOP 2022 and the RSUP 2022 entitle the beneficiary to receive a cash payment upon exercise of their VSOs /
RSUs. The target group for the LTI are HomeToGo's employees, advisors of the Group as well as managing
directors of affiliated companies. For the Management Board, a similar program was launched with slightly
different terms to comply with rules for Management Board remuneration.
General Terms and conditions - LTI
The participants can select the allocation of their overall grant between VSOP 2022 and RSUP 2022. Both
programs differ in terms of the risk profile from the perspective of the beneficiaries, because the RSUs do not
have a strike price, whereas the VSOs do.
As of December 31, 2022, the aggregate maximum plan volume of the RSUP 2022 and VSOP 2022 was limited
to the value of 1,225,556 Class A Shares of the Company. VSOs / RSUs may be granted to the participants in
one or more tranches at any time until the end of the year 2025. Therefore, hereinafter the two programs are
described together as one program and specified terms and conditions of each program are highlighted if
necessary.
VSOs / RSUs are granted to the respective beneficiary based on the terms stipulated in each program by
concluding an individual grant agreement between the respective beneficiary and HomeToGo. All grants are
subject to a service condition.
The strike price for the VSOs is specified in the individual grant agreement with the beneficiary and is always
calculated based on the average share price of the last ten trading days prior to the respective grant date. RSUs
are granted without a certain strike price.
The vesting period for the VSOs / RSUs is two years in total, and the vesting period shall begin following the
grant date or another vesting start date specified in the grant agreement. For the first year, there is a cliff in the
case of new hires and a quarterly vesting in the second year. For existing employees, the number of granted
72
VSOs / RSUs shall vest, unless otherwise determined in the grant agreement, in installments of 1/8 for each full
quarter on a linear basis.
After the exercise of the RSUs the beneficiary shall have a payment claim against the Company equal to
HomeToGo's share price at the time of the exercise. The exercise of the VSOs shall lead to a payment claim
equal to the difference between the share price at the time of exercise and the individual strike price stipulated
in the grant agreement. The beneficiary may exercise the VSOs / RSUs within three years following the vesting
date. VSOs / RSUs do no need to be exercised collectively, i.e. some parts of the grants may already be
exercised while others are still vesting.
HomeToGo is entitled, in its sole discretion, to fulfill the payment claim in whole or in part by transfer of shares,
in lieu of paying a cash amount, based on the share price then applicable.
Special Terms and conditions - LTI for Management Board
The terms and conditions of the LTI for the Management Board are generally in line with the terms and
conditions described above except for the following:
•The aggregate maximum plan volume of the MB-RSUP 2022 and the MB-VSOP 2022 shall be limited to
the value of 2,979,058 Class A Shares of the Company.
•The vesting period for the VSOs / RSUs is four years instead of two.
•There is mandatory cliff of one year.
Classification and accounting - LTI
The classification of the VSOP and RSUP do not differ from the classification of the previous Virtual Option Plans
of the Group. Since HomeToGo has a settlement choice in its sole discretion and has the ability to fulfill the
payment claim through shares of the Company, based on the assessment of the Company’s intent and past
practice in the Group's other share-based compensation schemes, the LTI is classified as equity-settled. Hence,
the fair value of each VSO / RSU is determined at the grant date, as further described below. Vesting conditions
are treated as graded, depending on the individual terms and conditions summarized above.
HomeToGo recognizes personnel expenses related to employee services as they are received. The
communication of the grant promise (= entitlement) with the amount of the grant and the other major terms
and conditions is treated as the earlier service commencement date as per IFRS 2 IG4, notwithstanding that the
beneficiary may still choose from the allocation of VSOs / RSUs. In case a beneficiary is already performing his
service knowingly of his future LTI grant and a specified vesting start date, the vesting start date is considered
the earlier service commencement date, and the expenses are already recognized as of the vesting start date.
In the IFRS 2 valuation, management estimates the grant date fair value for the purpose of recognizing the
expense during the period between the earlier service commencement date and the grant date. Management
will revise the estimate in each reporting period until the grant date has been established.
Fair value measurement - LTI
For the RSUs the fair value at the grant date is determined by the share price at grant date since these do not
have a certain strike price. For the VSOs the fair value at the grant date is determined by the Company using
the Black-Scholes-option pricing model and a binomial option pricing model of Cox-Ross-Rubinstein, as the
option can only be exercised at several discrete points in time.
The fair value was measured based on the following significant parameters: a weighted average share price of
EUR 4.0, a volatility of 45.73%, a risk-free interest rate of 0.45%, and a dividend yield of 0.0%. Due to the fact
that there is not sufficient historical data of the share price of the Company available the expected volatility
was derived from the historical volatility of peer group companies. The exercise of the VSOs may take place in
tranches after the respective vesting date and up to three years afterward. The weighted average term of the
virtual shares outstanding is 4.4 years. The valuation resulted in a weighted average fair value of EUR 1.70 per
virtual share.

31 - Related party transactions
HomeToGo’s related parties are comprised of a significant shareholder of HomeToGo, the members of the
Management Board and the Supervisory Board, the close members of the family of these persons and
controlled entities by these persons.
Entities with significant influence over the Group
Until the Transaction, the largest shareholder of the Group had significant influence over the Group and
constituted a related party according to IAS 24. Since this investor was also represented on the Supervisory
Board of HomeToGo SE until June 30, 2022, the investor was still assumed to have significant influence over the
Group until that date, although the percentage share in the parent company significantly reduced through the
Transaction. This shareholder participated in the convertible loan in March 2021 with EUR 3.0 million.
Key management personnel of the Group
The Management Board as well as the Supervisory Board of the Group constitute the key management
personnel and therefore related persons according to IAS 24 for HomeToGo.

The Group has not granted any loans, guarantees, or other commitments to or on behalf of any of the related
persons. Other than the remuneration disclosed above the following transactions occurred with entities
controlled by key management personnel:
OneUkraine gGmbH, a German non-profit limited liability company and related party to the Group due to its
affiliation to members of the Management and Supervisory Board, received a donation amounting to EUR 500
thousand from the Group to provide sustainable humanitarian relief to the Ukrainian people at home and
abroad.
NFQ UAB Technologies ("NFQ") a software company registered in the Republic of Lithuania, has been identified
as a related party according to IAS 24. During the reporting period, an agreement with NFQ has been in place
on the provision of certain software development services, office space and other services by NFQ to entities of
HomeToGo for cash consideration. Other services mainly include the provision of payroll, accounting and car
rental services. The business transactions under the scope of the agreement were made at arm's length terms.
Furthermore, the Group purchased services from NFQ X GmbH, Germany which was identified as a related
party.

As HomeToGo does not meet the criteria for offsetting, no financial instruments are netted.
Where quoted prices in an active market do not exist, HomeToGo uses valuation techniques that maximize the
use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The valuation technique used
incorporates all factors that market participants would consider in pricing such a transaction, e.g. the fair values
78
disclosed in the notes for the host contract of convertible loans are determined by using credit-risk specific
discount factors.
The following paragraph shows the valuation technique used in measuring Level 3 fair values at December 31,
2022 and December 31, 2021 for financial instruments measured at fair value in the statement of financial
position as well as the significant unobservable inputs used:
•              Valuation techniques: The valuation of the embedded derivative is performed using an option price
model. More specifically the valuation was performed using binomial trees for HomeToGo’s share price and
refinancing rate to derive a fair value of the conversion right. As described in Note 36, as part of the de-SPAC
transaction HomeToGo took over Class A and Class B warrants, which had been issued by Lakestar SPAC prior to
the transaction. These warrants are in scope of IFRS 9. The valuation of the warrants is performed using an
option pricing model (Black-Scholes model).
•              Significant unobservable inputs: The option pricing model uses different inputs. The most significant
unobservable input is the refinancing rate of HomeToGo. Further inputs for the valuation model are the
Company value and the volatility of equity. Both inputs have a lower impact on the fair value of the entire
embedded derivative. The primary inputs used in the valuation of the warrants are the share price of
HomeToGo at valuation date, the risk-free interest rate and the volatility of the underlying share price as well
as the term of the instruments. The risk-free interest rate is based on yields of German sovereign bonds. The
share price as well as the risk-free rate are observable in the market. The share price volatility is based on a
peer group and is therefore not observable in a market.
The following tables show a reconciliation for Level 3 fair values:

In 2021 HomeToGo took over Class A and Class B Warrants, which were issued by Lakestar SPAC prior to the
de-SPAC transaction. The Class A Warrants are public listed warrants. At the acquisition date the Class A
Warrants constitute a level 1 instrument. The price for the Class A Warrants was directly observable in the
market as sufficient trades were observable. As of December 31, 2021, as well as December 31, 2022, no trades
of the Class A Warrants were observable. Hence, the valuation was performed by using an option price model
with a peer group volatility as an unobservable input. As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021 the
Class A public Warrants constitute a level 3 instrument. HomeToGo transferred the Class A Warrants from level
1 to level 3 in 2021. The Class B warrants are not publicly listed. The valuation of the Class B Warrants was
performed by using an option price model with a peer group volatility as an unobservable input. Hence, the
Class B Warrants constitute a level 3 instrument as of the acquisition date, December 31, 2022 and December
31, 2021. There was no level transfer regarding the Class B Warrants.
There were no further transfers between the different levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods
presented. HomeToGo’s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels at
the end of the reporting period.
The following tables show the impact on the fair value of the warrants, as well as the impact on the financial
result, by shifting the significant inputs in the valuation model of the warrants:

HomeToGo is exposed to the following risks from the use of financial instruments:
a) Credit risk
b) Liquidity risk
c) Market risk, interest rate and currency risk
The Company´s Management Board have the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of
HomeToGo’s risk management framework. HomeToGo’s risk management policies are established to identify
and analyze the risks faced by HomeToGo and to minimize negative impact on the financial position of
HomeToGo related to those risks.
Capital risk management
HomeToGo’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard HomeToGo’s ability to provide returns for
shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the
cost of capital. Management monitors capital usage by overseeing the decrease and increase of cash and cash
equivalents as presented in the consolidated statement of financial position. To optimize interest income and
to minimize negative interest rates the Group invested surplus funds in highly liquid money market funds. The
Group is subject to a financial covenant with regard to some loans issued in 2020 for which no breach has
occurred. HomeToGo needs to achieve an economic equity ratio of 50% or higher. Management expects to
achieve the necessary equity ratio.
a)Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to HomeToGo if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails
to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk includes both the immediate default risk and the danger of a
decline in the customer’s creditworthiness.
HomeToGo is exposed to credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and current other financial assets, which it
monitors centrally. HomeToGo maintains its cash deposits at financial institutions with top credit ratings. The
creditworthiness of these financial institutions is constantly monitored. HomeToGo considers that its cash and
cash equivalents and current other financial assets have low credit risk based on the external credit ratings of
these financial institutions.
HomeToGo is generally exposed to the credit risk that its partners are cash-strapped or in financial difficulties
and thus, would not pass the agreed share of commission to HomeToGo. Overall, the credit risk for trade and
other receivables is considered moderate. The maximum risk exposure for all financial assets is the carrying
amount. Refer to Note 4 regarding the application of the expected credit loss model.
b)Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that HomeToGo will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its
financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. HomeToGo’s approach to
managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when
they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking
damage to HomeToGo’s reputation. In case needed, HomeToGo uses regular external financing options such as
bank loans to quickly raise larger amounts of fresh capital and thus always ensure a certain liquidity buffer.
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the balance sheet date. Apart
from lease liabilities, the amounts are gross and undiscounted and include contractual interest payments and
exclude the impact of netting agreements.

c) Market, interest rate and currency risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates or interest rates will affect
HomeToGo’s income or the value of its financial instruments. HomeToGo manages its market risk on a
centralized basis with the objectives of managing and controlling market risk exposures within acceptable
parameters.
Exposure to interest rate risk normally arises from variable interest-bearing financial instruments. HomeToGo
only has fixed interest loan agreements and therefore is not exposed to an interest rate risk.
HomeToGo is not exposed to a material transactional foreign currency risk.

35 - Change in accounting policy - Classification of warrants
As part of the de-SPAC transaction on September 21, 2021 HomeToGo took over public and non-public
warrants, which had been issued by Lakestar SPAC prior to the Transaction.
As a result of the IFRS IC agenda decision on Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPAC): Accounting for
Warrants at Acquisition issued on October 24, 2022, the Company reassessed its accounting for the warrants
acquired with the SPAC merger and recorded such warrants as a financial liability at fair value through profit or
loss. Accordingly, the Company accounted for a change in accounting policy and respectively adjusted its
financial statements retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 for better comparison with prior year period. The
Group had previously accounted for the Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants as an equity-settled share-
based payment arrangement under IFRS 2 as they were considered part of the deemed issuance of equity
instruments to acquire Lakestar SPAC. In line with the guidance provided in the IFRS IC agenda decision the
Group considers the warrants as assumed and classifies the Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants as financial
liabilities by applying IAS 32 since the “fixed-for-fixed” condition in IAS 32.22 is not fulfilled as warrants contain
a net settlement feature. The warrants are no longer considered as deemed consideration but as part of the
net assets acquired.

The retrospective change in accounting policy has no impact on the total amount of the IFRS 2 non-cash listing
service expense of the de-SPAC transaction. Following the change in the classification of Class A and Class B
Warrants, HomeToGo GmbH’s shares deemed issued amount to EUR 215.9 million and Lakestar SPAC’s net
assets amount to EUR 145.5 million resulting in an IFRS 2 non-cash listing service expense of EUR 70.4 million.
The classification of the warrants as a financial liability requires measurement at fair value, with non-cash fair
value adjustments recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income
under Finance income and expenses.
For further information regarding the valuation of warrants please refer to Note 34 - Financial instruments.
