Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
5. General Information  
momox Holding SE (formerly momox Holding AG), domiciled in Germany , is the parent company of the momox   Group. The company momox Holding GmbH was entered in the commercial register of the Berlin-Charlottenburg  Local Court (HRB 210838 B) on October 4, 2019. The registered office and headquarters of the company are at   Schreiberhauer Straße 30, 10317 Berlin, Germany. The company was converted into an Aktiengesellschaft (AG –  stock corporation) by shareholder resolution of November 17, 2021. The corresponding entry in the commercial  register of the Berlin-Charlottenburg Local Court (HRB 236301 B) was made on December 2, 2021. The company  was converted into a European Company ( Societas Europaea, in short: SE ) by shareholder resolution of  December 5, 2022. The corresponding entry in the commercial register of the Berlin-Charlottenburg Local Court  (HRB 248174 B) was made on December 13, 2022.  
The momox Group was created upon the acquisition from Verdane of 59.68% of the shares in the former   company momox GmbH (see Section 11.3) by momox Holding GmbH on December 12, 2019.  
The momox Group is a major retailer of used articles from private sellers. The key focus of the momox Group   here is articles such as books, media, and fashion, which are purchased (“inbound”) through its own purchasing  platform (www.momox.de, www.momox.at, www.momox.fr) and sold (“outbound”) through a variety of sales  channels such as its own platforms (www.medimops.de, www.momox-shop.fr, www.momoxfashion.com) and  third-party platforms such as Amazon and eBay.  
The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting   Standards as adopted in the European Union and in accordance with the regulations additionally applicable  pursuant to Section 315e para. 1 HGB in conjunction Art. 61 EU CR 2157/2001. The consolidated financial  statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities,  financial position and profit or loss of the group.  
The consolidated financial statements cover the fiscal year 2022, which ends like the calendar year on December   31.  
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in euro, the functional currency of momox Holding SE and   the Group’s presentation currency.  
Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are rounded up or down to full thousands of euro (EUR thousand) or full   millions of euro (EUR m). Rounding may mean that the amounts do not add up exactly to the given total and that  percentages are not the exact result of the amounts presented.  
Current and non-current assets and liabilities are presented separately in the statement of financial position.   According to this, all matters that are generally realized or fulfilled within a normal business cycle of a maximum  of one year are current. All other assets and liabilities are regarded as non-current.  
6. Key accounting policies  
6.1 Consolidation principles  
The consolidated financial statements contain the financial statements of the parent company (momox Holding   SE) and of the companies it controls. Control is gained here when:  
•
power of disposal can be exercised over the investee;  
•
variable returns result from the equity interest; and  
•
the power of disposal can be used to influence the amount of the returns.

Consolidated Financial Statements  
Berlin  
Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
The consolidated financial statements include momox Holding SE and its subsidiaries over which control is   exercised within the meaning of IFRS 10. The number of subsidiaries included in the consolidated group did not  change in the fiscal year 2022. momox AG was, however, converted into momox SE upon registration on  December 13, 2022 (see Section 7).  
A subsidiary is included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that momox Holding SE gains   control of the subsidiary until the date that the control ends. The results of the subsidiaries acquired or sold during  the year are accordingly recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and in other comprehensive  income from the actual acquisition date to the actual disposal date.  
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the shareholders of the   parent and to the non-controlling interests. This applies even if this results in the non-controlling interests having  a deficit balance.  
If necessary, the annual financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted in order to align the accounting   policies with the methods that are applied in the Group.  
All intragroup assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flow relating to transactions between Group   companies are eliminated in full on consolidation.  
The momox Group reassesses whether or not an investee is controlled if facts and circumstances indicate that   one of the three of the above criteria for control has changed.  
Acquisitions of subsidiaries  
The acquisition of business units is presented using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a   business combination is measured at fair value. This is calculated as the total of the fair values, as of the acquisition  date, of the assets transferred, the liabilities assumed from the former owners of the acquiree and the equity  instruments issued by the Group in exchange for the control of the acquiree. Transaction costs associated with  the business combination are recognized in profit or loss when incurred.  
The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are measured at their fair values. The following   exceptions apply:  
•
Deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit   arrangements are measured and recognized in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee  Benefits;  
•
Debt or equity instruments that relate to share-based payments or to the settlement of share-based   payments by the Group are measured on the date of acquisition in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based  Payment (see Section 10.11).  
•
Assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for   Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with this IFRS.  
Goodwill is the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of all non-controlling interests in   the acquiree and the fair value of the equity interest previously held by the acquirer in the acquiree over the fair  value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.  
Non-controlling interests in companies in the consolidated group are presented separately from the Group’s   equity. Non-controlling interests of this kind, which currently convey title and grant the holder the right in the  event of liquidation to receive a proportionate share of the company’s net assets, are measured initially either at  the fair value or at the proportionate share of the identifiable net assets. This option can be exercised again during  every business combination. Other components of non-controlling interests are measured at their fair value or  based on measures arising from other standards. Following the acquisition, the carrying amount of the non-

Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
controlling interests is produced from the value of the shares upon initial recognition plus the share of the non-   controlling interest in the subsequent changes in equity.  
If the consideration transferred is a contingent consideration, it is measured at the fair value applicable at the   time of the acquisition. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration within the measurement period  are corrected retrospectively and accordingly set off against goodwill. Corrections during a measurement periods  are adjustments to reflect additional information about facts and circumstances that arose at the time of  acquisition. However, the measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date.  
Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not represent adjustments in the measurement   period are accounted for based on how the contingent consideration has to be classified. If the contingent  consideration is equity, no subsequent measurement is made on subsequent reporting dates; its fulfillment is  accounted for in equity. Where it is not equity, contingent consideration is measured on subsequent reporting  dates at fair value and any gain or loss that results is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.  
In the case of a gradual business combination, the equity interest previously held by the company in the acquired   enterprise is remeasured at fair value at the acquisition date. A gain or loss resulting from this is recognized in  profit or loss.  
Changes in value in the equity interests previously held in the acquired enterprise that are recognized in other   comprehensive income before the acquisition date are transferred to the consolidated statement of profit and  loss when control of the acquired enterprise is gained.  
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of a fiscal year, provisional amounts   are reported for the items. If new information becomes available within the measurement period that sheds light  on the circumstances at the acquisition date, the amounts that have been provisionally recognized are corrected  and additional assets or liability are recognized if necessary.  
Changes to the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries  
Changes to the Group’s ownership interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control over this   subsidiary are reported as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the controlling interests held by the Group  and of the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary.  Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the  consideration paid or received is directly recognized in equity and attributed to the shareholders of the parent.  
When control over a subsidiary is lost, the deconsolidation gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. This is   calculated from the difference between  
I. The total amount of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of the interest   retained and  
II. The carrying amount of the assets (including any goodwill), the liabilities of the subsidiary, and all non-   controlling interests.  
All amounts recognized in other comprehensive income in connection with the subsidiary are accounted for as   would be the case in a sale of the assets, i.e. reclassified to the consolidated statement of profit and loss or  transferred directly to the retained earnings.  
If investments in the former subsidiary are retained, these are recognized at the fair value established at the time   when control is lost. This value represents the acquisition costs of the interests, which are subsequently measured  in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments or in accordance with the regulations governing associate  companies or joint ventures depending on the degree of control.

Currency translation  
Monetary items in a currency other than the functional currency used by the companies of the momox Group   are translated at the applicable closing rate, while non-monetary items in foreign currency are translated at  historical rates. Income and expenses of integrated companies are recognized at the rates at the time of the  business transactions and translated at average annual rates for the preparation of the consolidated financial  statements. Relevant exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss in the other operating expenses or  other operating income.  
For the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liability of foreign independent   operations of the momox Group are translated into the Group’s functional currency in euro, where the exchange  rates applicable on the reporting date are used. Income and expenses are translated at the average rate of the  period. The exchange differences arising from the translation of foreign independent business operations to the  Group currency are recognized in other comprehensive income, whereas the exchange differences arising from  the translation of foreign integrated business operations are recognized in profit or loss.  
The exchange rates used for the translation are presented below:

6.2 Goodwill  
Goodwill resulting from a business combination is recognized at acquisition cost less any impairment that may be   necessary. This is subsequently subject to an impairment test, which is carried out no less than once a year. If  there are concrete indications of an impairment, an additional impairment test has to be carried out.  
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating unit that is expected to benefit   from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquired enterprise  are assigned to those units or groups of units. Accordingly, the goodwill of the sole cash-generating unit (CGU)  resulting from the purchase price allocation is assigned to momox.  
If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit falls below the carrying amount of this unit, an impairment   loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss that cannot be recovered. The recoverable amount is the  higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell.  
Further information on the impairment test can be found in Sections 6.5 and 10.1.  
6.3 Other intangible assets  
Separately purchased intangible assets  
Intangible assets acquired separately, i.e. not as parts of a business combination, are essentially software licenses.   These are capitalized at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their scheduled useful life in the  subsequent periods. Possible impairments are additionally taken into account.  
All intangible assets of the momox Group that have been acquired separately have a finite useful life, which   amounts to three to six years.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
Intangible assets that have been acquired as part of a business combination are recognized separately from the   goodwill and measured at fair value on the acquisition date (acquisition cost). These intangible assets are  measured in subsequent periods in the same way as individually acquired intangible assets at cost less  accumulated amortization and impairment.  
The useful life of the relevant intangible assets amounts to six to fifteen years.

6.4 Tangible assets  
Property, plant and equipment are capitalized at acquisition or production cost and depreciated systematically   on a straight-line basis over their probable useful lives. Subsequent expenses are capitalized if they lead to a  change in the intended purpose or to an increase in the value in use of the property, plant or equipment. The  useful life of the property, plant or equipment is between one and fifteen years.

The momox Group assesses at each reporting date whether there are any indications that an asset is impaired. If   such indications exist, the momox Group estimates the recoverable amount of the relevant asset. If the carrying  amount of the asset is higher than its recoverable amount, it is reduced to this amount in profit or loss.  
Gains or losses on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognized in other operating income or   expenses.  
6.5 Impairment of non-financial assets  
On each reporting date, the momox Group reviews the carrying amounts of the property, plant and equipment   and intangible assets in order to establish whether there are indications of impairment of these assets. If relevant  indications are present, the recoverable amount of the asset in question is determined in order to establish the  necessary impairment loss. The recoverable amount in this context is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell  and the value in use. If the recoverable amount of the asset in question cannot be determined, it is calculated at  the level of the cash-generating unit to which the asset is allocated.  
If the recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is lower than the carrying amount, the carrying   amount of the asset or of the cash-generating unit is reduced to the recoverable amount. The resulting  impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss. As soon as there are indications that the reasons for  the impairment carried out no longer exist, the company examines the need for a complete or partial reversal.

6.6 Leases  
A lease is present if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in   exchange for consideration.  
For all leases where the momox Group is the lessee, it recognizes the right to use the underlying asset and also a   lease liability at the commencement of the lease. Short-term leases that have a term of a maximum of twelve  months and leases for low-value assets are excepted from this. For these leases, the momox Group applies the  exemption according to which the payments associated with these leases are recognized as expenses.  
Leases are recognized in the amount of the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments   consist of fixed and variable lease payments. The interest rate implicit in the lease has to be used in principle for  the measurement. If that interest rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate is used. The  lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.  
The amount of the right of use corresponds at the time of initial recognition to the amount of the lease liability   plus any initial direct costs of the lessee. Adjustments can additionally be necessary on account of lease incentives  received from the lessor, for payments at or before the commencement of the lease, and for reinstatement and  comparable obligations. In the subsequent measurement, the rights of use are amortized on a straight-line basis  over the underlying lease term.  
Changes to the term of the contract or to the expected lease payments lead to a remeasurement of the liability   and of the right to use the underlying asset.  
Leases can contain extension and termination options. If the exercise of the extension options or the failure to   exercise the termination options have been classed as reasonably certain, these have been taken into  consideration in the determination of the term of the contract.  
Additionally, there are leases that have been entered into for an indefinite period and both the momox Group,   as the lessee, and the lessor have been granted the right to terminate the lease where the maximum notice  period is up to twelve months. Contract conditions of this kind are used in order to allow the Group the maximum  operating flexibility in relation to the assets that are used and have accordingly been classed as short-term leases.  
The momox Group acted as a lessor in 2021 only in the case of a contractual relationship of minor importance.   There were no more contracts in this regard in the financial year.  
6.7 Inventories  
The inventories of the momox Group are recognized in principle at acquisition cost and essentially comprise   merchandise and, to a smaller extent, packaging materials.  
At the momox Group, the acquisition costs of the purchased merchandise are determined individually for each   article and are based on the purchase price that is indicated to the customer when they fill in the sales box on the  Group’s own procurement platform. This purchase price is recalculated several times a day using a pricing  algorithm that is also responsible for determining the selling price. In addition to external data such as original  and market prices, the algorithm additionally takes into consideration internal data on the actual and forecast  stock levels, processing and shipping costs, marketing activities, sales commission, and risk discounts.  
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling   price that can be obtained in the ordinary course of business less the estimated selling costs required. Risks from  above-average storage periods and/or reduced usability are taken into account at the momox Group through  appropriate write-downs. If the reasons that have led to a write-down on the merchandise have ceased to apply,  an appropriate reversal has to be recognized.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
No reversals or write-ups arose in fiscal year 2022.  
6.8 Financial instruments  
A financial instrument is any contract that simultaneously gives rise to both a financial asset of one entity and a   financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.  
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position when   the momox Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument.  
Financial instruments are not netted in principle. They are netted offset only if there is a right to offset and it is   intended to settle on a net basis.  
6.8.1  
Financial assets  
The financial assets of the momox Group comprise in particular trade receivables, receivables from factoring, and   cash and cash equivalents.  
Additional information can be found in Section 10.1.  
Measurement  
Financial assets are measured initially at fair value. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing   component and are measured at the transaction price are an exception to this. All directly attributable transaction  costs of financial assets that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss have to be taken into  consideration in the initial measurement.  
In the subsequent measurement, financial assets are measured either  
1) At amortized cost (AC),  
2) At fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI), or  
3) At fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).  
The momox Group has only financial assets that are measured at amortized cost (AC) and at fair value through   profit or loss (FVTPL).  
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost (AC) if they are held within a business model whose objective is   to collect contractual cash flow and if the conditions of contract represent solely payments of principal and  interest on the nominal amount outstanding. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial assets are  measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less impairment.  
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) are held within a business model whose   objective is not to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flow and their cash flow do not  represent solely payments of principal and interest on the nominal amount outstanding.  
Derecognition  
Financial assets are derecognized in principle at the time at which the contractual rights to principal and interest   payments from financial assets expire or the financial assets are transferred to a third party.  
Receivables, including the related impairments losses, are derecognized when they are classified as uncollectible.

Consolidated Financial Statements

Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
Transfer of receivables  
As part of a factoring agreement, the momox Group transfers part of its trade receivables in exchange for cash to   a factor that assumes the credit risk (del credere risk) of the receivables. Receivables that are transferred are no  longer reported in the trade receivables item in the statement of financial position. Instead, a financial asset is  recognized that is measured at fair value through profit or loss.  
Impairment of financial assets  
In accordance with IFRS 9, impairments for financial assets are calculated using the expected credit loss (ECL)   model. According to this, a classification into three levels is carried out, which draws a distinction in terms of the  assessment period, the risk provision and the recognition of interest. The scope of the necessary impairments  depends here on the credit quality of the financial instrument.  
The levels of the impairment model are comprised as follows:  
•
Level 1: For financial instruments for which the credit risk has not increased significantly as of the reporting   date since initial recognition, impairments have to be recognized in net profit or loss using the 12-month  expected credit loss. The interest is recognized on the basis of the gross carrying amount.  
•
Level 2: If there is a significant increase in the credit risk as of the reporting date, the risk provision has to be   recognized for the remaining term of the asset. The expected loss is a probability-weighted estimate here.  Interest is recognized in the same way as in Level 1.  
•
Level 3: If there is objective evidence for an impairment, financial instruments have to be allocated to Level   3. The risk provision is also determined on the basis of the expected loss over the remaining term. The  interest recognition has to be adjusted in the subsequent periods on the basis of the net carrying amount.  
For trade receivables, the momox Group applies the simplified impairment model provided for in IFRS 9, where   the risk provision is determined over the term. Accordingly, the momox Group derives the expected default ratio  of receivables from historical credit loss experience, which is produced from the billing and payment matching of  the online trading platforms. No differentiation is made in relation to past due accounts, as defaults on receivables  and the related write-downs have been small in size in the past.  
For cash and cash equivalents and also other financial assets, which relate essentially to receivables from   factoring, deposits, and the receivables from the majority shareholders, the default risk is classed as not significant  in principle.  
6.8.2  
Financial liabilities  
The financial liabilities of the momox Group comprise in particular the green bond, lease liabilities, as well as trade   payables.  
Additional information can be found in Section 11.1.  
Measurement  
Financial liabilities that are measured either in accordance with the effective interest method at amortized cost   (AC) or at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).  
Financial liabilities are measured at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading (e.g.   derivatives), represent a contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, or have been  voluntarily allocated to this category (fair value option). All other financial liabilities are measured at amortized  cost after initial recognition.

Consolidated Financial Statements  
Berlin  
Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
Effective interest method  
In accordance with IFRS 9, the effective interest method is a method for calculating the amortized cost of a   financial liability and allocating interest expenses to the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate at  which the estimated future cash payments (including all fees, charges, and transaction costs) are discounted to  the net carrying amount over the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period.  With a change in the market interest rate, the effective interest rate of a floating rate financial instrument must  be redetermined.  
Derecognition  
Financial liabilities are derecognized once the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or canceled or   expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the derecognized financial liability and the consideration  received or to be received is recognized in profit or loss.  
6.9 Measurement of fair value  
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a   liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  
All financial assets and liabilities for which the fair value is calculated or reported are assigned to the levels of the   fair value hierarchy described below. Observable input factors are preferable to non-observable input factors  here in principle.  
•
Level 1: Measurements are produced from quoted (unadjusted) prices on active markets for identical assets   or liabilities.  
•
Level 2: Measurements are produced from input factors that can either be directly observed for the asset   or liability or indirectly derived from other prices.  
•
Level 3: Measurements are produced from measurement models that do not use input factors observable   on the market.  
The momox Group does not exercise either for financial assets or for financial liabilities the fair value option,   which provides that financial instruments may be measured voluntarily at fair value with recognition of the  change in value in the net profit/loss for the period (FVTPL).  
6.10 Share-based payment  
Every transaction in which a company (or a company of the Group) receives goods or services from a supplier   (including an employee), either as consideration for its equity instruments or by raising debt for amounts that are  based on the price of shares or other equity instruments of the company, is defined as a share-based payment.  
The momox Group has entered into agreements for cash-settled share-based payments. An assessment is   therefore made on the reporting date of whether and in what amount a liability has to be recognized. In principle,  cash-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value initially and as of the grant date. Until the liability  is settled, the fair value is recalculated at each reporting date and at the date of settlement. Changes in fair value  are recognized in profit or loss.  
More information on share-based remuneration can be found in Section 10.11.

6.11 Provisions  
The momox Group creates provisions when the Group has a current legal or constructive obligation that results   from a past event, it is more likely than not that the settlement of the obligation will lead to an outflow of assets,  and the amount of the provision could be reliably determined.  
Provisions are estimated in due consideration of all recognizable risks related to the assumed settlement amount.   This amount represents the best estimate of the settlement amount that is required to settle the present  obligation at the balance sheet date.  
Long-term provisions are discounted on the basis of an adequate interest rate.  
Dismantling obligations  
The provision is recognized in the amount of the present value of the estimated future dismantling obligations.   These currently exist in the momox Group exclusively for property leases.  
6.12 Recognition of revenue  
Sales revenue is recognized in principle at the time when the power of disposal over the promised merchandise,   including the service of the delivery, is passed to a customer and the momox Group has thus fulfilled its  performance obligation. This normally takes place upon the delivery of the merchandise ordered.  
The merchandise is dispatched in accordance with general terms and conditions of business only after the   purchase price, including delivery costs, has been paid in full. The momox Group offers its customers various  (standard market) payment methods for this, where these do not contain any significant financing components.  The payment types are shown in the accounts as debtor accounts on which the receivables from advance  payments already made by customers to the payment service providers are shown, subdivided according to the  relevant marketplaces.  
The momox Group identifies the goods and services promised in the contract with the customer as its   performance obligations. These are normally the products ordered by the customer and their shipping. The  products and the shipping are combined in a bundle, i.e. an independently identifiable performance obligation,  for accounting purposes.  
The carrying amount of sales revenue is recognized less price discounts granted, taxes, and charges. Furthermore,   rights of return (returns) that are granted are deducted from revenues. The level of the projected returns is based  on historical return rates. The momox Group recognizes a refund liability in the amount of the estimated amounts  that have to be paid back to the customers in the statement of financial position. At the same time, the cost of  materials is corrected by the acquisition costs of the purchased goods that are expected to be returned and an  asset is recognized for the right to receive returned products in the other non-financial assets.  
Refund liabilities relate to the right of customers to return products after buying them. In principle, customers   have the option to cancel purchase agreements within the statutory period of 14 days. In addition, the momox  Group grants customers an extended right of return of 30 days for fashion products.  
For coupons and payments received in advance, the transaction prices received from the customers are   recognized as contract liabilities. In these cases, sales revenues are recognized only at the time of use or of the  delivery of goods. Coupons are normally used within twelve months after they are issued. Performance  obligations that have been paid for in advance are generally fulfilled within a few days.

6.13 Income taxes  
The income tax expense consists of the current and deferred tax expense. The current and deferred tax expense   is presented in the net profit/loss for the period, unless the expenses is connected with items that are recognized  either in the other comprehensive income or directly in equity.  
The current tax expense is calculated on the basis of the taxable income and in application of the tax regulations   applicable on the reporting date. The taxable income is distinguished from the net income for the year in the  consolidated statement of profit and loss on the basis of income and expenses that are tax deductible.  
The deferred taxes are determined on the basis of temporary differences between the consolidated financial   statements and the relevant tax carrying amounts in the calculation of the taxable income. While deferred tax  liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences, the recognition of tax assets depends on how probable it  is that taxable profits will be available in the future.  
The carrying amount of deferred tax is assessed at the end of each reporting period and reduced in value if it is   no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available in order to realize the asset in full or in part.  
The deferred taxes are calculated on the basis of the expected tax rates and the tax laws that are expected to   apply at the time of the liability is fulfilled or the asset is realized.  
Deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets can be offset against each other if there is a legally enforceable   right to offset current tax refund claims against tax liabilities or when these related to income taxes that are  collected by the same tax authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net  basis.  
6.14 Use of assumptions and estimates  
When the consolidated financial statements are drawn up, assumptions and estimates are made in accordance   with the IFRS that have an impact on the amounts presented and the related disclosures. Although these  assumptions and estimates are based on the best knowledge available and on current events and circumstances,  deviations can arise in the amounts that are actually produced. Key assumptions and estimates are made in  particular for the following matters:  
•
Goodwill impairment testing; see Section 10.1  
•
Calculating write-downs on merchandise and receivables; see Section 10.6  
•
Defining the expected return rates; see Section 6.12  
•
Calculating the discount rate for leases; see Section 6.6  
•
Recognizing and measuring provisions; see Section 6.11  
The assumptions and estimates are based on assessments on the reporting date of the Group’s expected future   business performance and take into consideration the expected development of the economic environment.  Should the general conditions change, the assumptions and estimates as well as the carrying amounts of the  recognized assets and liabilities are adjusted accordingly.  
6.15 Changes in reporting standards  
The momox Group applies all IFRS that have been adopted as of December 31, 2022 and that have to be applied   as mandatory in the European Union.  
Momox Holding SE applied the following accounting standards for the first time in the financial year 2022:  
Amendments to IFRS 3 – Business Combinations – Reference to the Conceptual Framework (May 2020): With the   amendments to IFRS 3, the standard now refers to the Conceptual Framework 2018 and results in additions  concerning the identification of liabilities that have been assumed in a business combination.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
applied when determining transactions and similar events within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC 21. In addition, the   statement that contingent assets acquired in a business combination do not have to be recognized has to be  included. EU endorsement was issued on June 28, 2021. The amendment is not relevant for the consolidated  financial statements of momox Holding SE, as no business combinations took place at momox Holding SE in the  fiscal year.  
Amendments to IAS 16 – Property, plant and equipment — Proceeds before intended use (May 2020): The   amendment means that proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and  condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management and the cost of  producing those items are recognized in profit or loss. Deducting the costs is thus no longer permitted. EU  endorsement was issued on June 28, 2021. The amendment has no material impacts on the consolidated financial  statements of momox Holding SE.  
Amendments to IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets – Scope of Costs of Fulfilling   Onerous Contracts (May 2020): The composition of the costs of fulfilling a contract is defined by the amendments.  These include “costs that relate directly to the contract”. These can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that  contract (e.g. direct labor, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts (e.g.  the allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the  contract). The amendments involve in particular costs that a company should include as the cost of fulfilling a  contract when assessing whether a contract is onerous. EU endorsement was issued on June 28, 2021. The  amendment has no material impacts on the consolidated financial statements of momox Holding SE, as it involves  only a clarification of the scope of the costs of fulfilling onerous contracts that is intended to harmonize accepted  accounting practice.  
Annual Improvements – Improvements to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16, and IAS 41 – 2018-2020 cycle (May 2020): All   instances involve clarifications or corrections that did not have to be part of a major IASB project or the object of  a separate project. EU endorsement was issued on June 28, 2021. The amendment has no material impacts on  the consolidated financial statements of momox Holding SE.

8. Segment information  
The momox Group is managed as a business unit in the area of the purchase and sale of used articles from private   sellers. The internal reporting is accordingly carried out on a regular basis to the management of momox Holding  SE, which essentially allocates resources in view of the operating activities as a re-commerce company and acts  with overall responsibility for the momox Group.  
The breakdown of the sales into the main product categories can be found in Section 9.1.

Other* 9,400 9,454
Total 336,582 335,137
*Further countries with respective sales of less than EUR 3 million are listed under "Other"  
On account of the large number of smaller individual customers, sales of 10% are not transacted with any   customer.  
The non-current assets (excluding financial instruments and deferred tax assets) are allocated to geographical   regions on the basis of the country of residence of the relevant Group company:  
In TEUR Dec. 31, 2022 Dec. 31, 2021

In TEUR 2022 2021
Interest income 146 98
Interest expenses 7,708 7,244
Financial result 7,562 7,147
The Interest expenses result essentially from the green bond (2022: EUR 6,625 thousand; previous year:   EUR 6,337 thousand) and from leases (2022: EUR 357 thousand; previous year: EUR 141 thousand).  
9.8 Income taxes  
The taxes on income paid or accrued in Germany and Poland, plus deferred taxes, are recognized as income taxes.   The taxes on income include here the trade tax, corporation tax, solidarity surcharge, and the relevant Polish  taxes on income.  
A tax group for income tax purposes has been in place at momox Holding SE with momox SE and momox Services   GmbH since January 1, 2020.  
Current and deferred taxes assets are shown in the following overview:  
In TEUR 2022 2021

Deferred taxes
Income from the addition / reversal of deferred taxes -1,872 -1,780
Expenses from the addition / reversal of deferred taxes 28 34
Total 1,513 1,059
The determination of the expected income taxes (current and deferred) is based on the application of the German   total tax rate of 31.44% (December 31, 2021: 30.82%). This rate is produced from the corporation tax rate for the  2022 assessment period, taking into account the solidarity surcharge (15.82%, December 31, 2021: 15.82%), and  the relevant trade tax rate (15.62%; December 31, 2021: 14.99%). The change results in particular from the  closure of the warehouse in Neuenhagen and the relocation to Leipzig. No material effect results from the  adjustment of the total tax rate.

Goodwill  
The goodwill of the momox Group in the amount of EUR 108,327 thousand results from the acquisition of momox   SE (formerly momox AG) in December 2019 and was allocated in full to the momox cash-generating unit.  
The annual impairment test of the cash-generating unit was carried out on the balance sheet date. The value in   use of the cash-generating unit is calculated as the recoverable amount. The plans approved by the company  management and the relevant cash flow for the next five years, which reflect the performance of the momox  Group as well as the best estimate of the management in relation to the future development, are used here. A  terminal value is calculated for the period of the detailed planning phase in continuation of the last detailed  planning year. A growth rate of 1% is assumed here.  
The weighted average cost of capital used for discounting the net cash flow is calculated using the capital asset   pricing model (CAPM) on the basis of a risk-free interest rate, a market risk premium, and an allowance for the  credit risk (spread) as well as of the capital structure, the average tax rate, and the beta factor. A peer group of  listed companies is used to determine the systematic risk of the cash-generating unit. The weighted average cost  of capital after tax for the impairment test as of December 31, 2022 is 11.48%.  
No need for impairment resulted from the impairment test. Indications that possible changes to the key   assumptions could mean that the carrying amount of the momox cash-generating unit will exceed the  recoverable amount were not present as of December 31, 2022.  
The assumptions underlying the following calculations contain estimation uncertainties:  
•
Growth rates: The estimated growth rates are based on past experience as well as on product and   country-specific growth assumptions of the target markets. Estimated growth also takes the  internationalization strategy of the momox Group into consideration.  
•
EBITDA margins: The EBITDA margins are based on past values and give greater weight to current values.   Adjustments that take management's better understanding especially of cost drivers and increases in  efficiency into account are made for the detailed planning period.  
•
Discount rates: The discount rates represent the market forecasts concerning the specific risks to be   assigned to the cash-generating unit. The calculation of the discount rate takes into consideration the  specific circumstances of the business model here.  
We conducted a sensitivity analysis in which we separately assumed a 10% reduction in the future cash flow in the   last planning year, a 10% increase in the weighted cost of capital, or a reduction in the long-term growth rate of half  a percentage point. The result on this basis was, in the previous year, that the carrying amount of the assets exceeds  the recoverable amount of the reporting unit.

Leases  
The leases of the momox Group, for which rights of use and lease liabilities are recognized, relate exclusively to   buildings (office and warehouse premises as well as logistics centers). There are currently no options to extend.  These contracts include extension options and, in some cases, options to terminate the contract. In addition,  some of these contracts include variable payments that depend on the development of consumer price indices.  
The rights of use amounted to EUR 36,925 thousand in total as of December 31, 2022 (previous year: EUR 18,924   thousand). The additions in the fiscal year 2022 primarily concern the amendments to existing leases (EUR 17,814  thousand) and the renting of additional space at the logistics centers in Leipzig and Stettin (EUR 3,805 thousand).

financial year, the rent payable changed by approximately 6.6% due to the underlying index. The additional   payments for these index-based rent adjustments thus totalled EUR 0.1 million (previous year: EUR 0 million).  
There are currently renewal options for the warehouse space in Poland. These options to extend leases are   material from the Group's perspective and range from 1 to 5 years. Exercising all of these options could lead to  an additional cash outflow totalling EUR 5.5 million (previous year: EUR 4.1 million).  
In addition, momox has entered into a lease agreement in which additional rental space in Germany is still   currently unused. The lease agreement begins in April 2023 and leads to additional payments (including all  options to extend) totalling up to EUR 0.8 million (four comparable items in the previous year: EUR 3.1 million).  
In fiscal year 2022, the expenses for short-term leases amounted to EUR 487 thousand (previous year: EUR 1,224   thousand) and the expenses for leases for low-value assets amounted to EUR 108 thousand (previous year: EUR  76 thousand). No material changes in the portfolio of short-term leases arose in the fiscal year.  
Cash outflows from leases (including payments for short-term leases and leases for low-value assets) comprised   a total of EUR 4,265 thousand in the fiscal year (previous year: EUR 4,104 thousand).  
In the reporting period, there were changes to existing leases due to the above-mentioned variable interest   payments and extension of rental agreements in Germany, which resulted in a revaluation of the rights of use by  EUR 17.8 million or lease liabilities by EUR 17.4 million.

Consolidated Financial Statements

Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
The momox Group applies the simplified approach in accordance with IFRS 9 in order to measure the expected   credit losses. The expected default rate amounts here to 2% on an assessment base modified for this calculation  and is based on historical empirical data adjusted by forward-looking expectations. The proportionately low  default rate can be attributed among other things to the terms of payment that are offered as well as the  assignment of receivables as part of a factoring agreement.  
An assessment continues to be made on each reporting date of whether there are objective indications for write-   downs of individual receivables. A Level-3 write-down is made if there are objective indications of a credit default.  This was not the case either as of December 31, 2021 or as of December 31, 2022  
Write-downs on trade receivables totaled EUR 87 thousand as of the reporting date (previous year: EUR   138 thousand). The decline in the write-down is based on the fact that, as of December 31, 2022, the outstanding  receivables were significantly lower than the previous year’s level – while the risk assessment remained the same.  
The trade receivables are essentially not past due (EUR 4,749 thousand; previous year: EUR 8,362 thousand).

The decrease is mainly due to the decrease in deposits.  
The receivables from shareholders, which result from the SARs (Stock Appreciation Rights) agreements that   momox Holding SE acquired, but the rights of which it has assigned by contract to the shareholders (see Section  10.11), include interest of EUR 102 thousand (previous year: EUR 97 thousand).  
As of December 31, 2022, the other non-current financial assets totaled EUR 1,118 thousand (previous year:   EUR 1,586 thousand) and included among others receivables from factoring at EUR 306 thousand (previous year:  EUR 465 thousand) and receivables from liquidated damages at EUR 0 thousand (previous year: EUR 840  thousand).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
The retained profits increased from EUR 12,167 thousand of December 31, 2021 to EUR 13,944 thousand as of   December 31, 2022. A capital adjustment was made in the retained profits in the fiscal year as a result of the  recognition of deferred taxes totaling EUR 203 thousand directly in equity of the change in the tax rate at group  level as part of the calculation of the PPA and other adjustments in the individual financial statements of MOMOX  Polska Sp.z o.o..  
The total comprehensive income of the momox Group amounted to EUR 2,557 thousand for the fiscal year 2022.  
10.11 Share-based payment  
momox SE (formerly momox AG) entered into agreements on stock appreciation rights (SARs) with certain   members of the management between 2013 and 2019. These agreements provided that compensation  payments will be paid in cash to the managers when certain maturity events occur provided the beneficiaries  fulfill the contractually agreed conditions stipulating they serve four or five years.  
In the course of successive business combinations, momox Holding SE (formerly momox Holding AG) bought from   the SAR beneficiaries all or parts (50% in most cases) of their SARs with effect from January 20, 2020 at a price of  EUR 1,924 thousand in total, which remain in force as of the balance sheet date.  
No liability for these SAR agreements was recognized as of December 31, 2022, as the probability that a maturity   event will occur before the SARs lapse in 2032 cannot be assessed.  
Please see Section 11.3 for more information.

10.14 Green bond  
momox Holding SE (formerly momox Holding AG) issued a green bond for EUR 100 million with a term of five   years on July 10, 2020. This green bond serves primarily to finance the purchase price for the acquisition of shares  by momox Holding SE (formerly momox Holding AG) in momox SE (formerly momox AG). The amount is  furthermore intended to serve the distribution and redemption of capital reserves. The green bond was listed on  the Oslo Stock Exchange on July 8, 2021.  
Transaction costs totaling EUR 3,528 thousand were incurred in 2020 in connection with the green bond, which   are deferred in due consideration of the effective interest method and amortized over the term of the bond.  
The interest on the green bond is variable and linked to the 3-month EURIBOR. In accordance with the interest   rate calculation, the effective interest rate is determined on an ongoing basis based on the volatility of the 3-  month EURIBOR.

11. Other disclosures  
11.1 Additional disclosures on financial instruments  
11.1.1 Financial risk management  
The momox Group is exposed to credit risks, liquidity risks, and market risks (interest and currency risks) in the   course of its normal operating activities. The aim of the financial risk management is to minimize the potentially  negative impact on the Group’s financial position so that the ability to repay debts and the financial strength of  the Group will also be maintained in the future. The risks resulting for the momox Group in the course of the  operating activities are therefore constantly monitored and actively managed by the management.  
Credit risk  
The momox Group faces the risk that business partners will be unable to meet their obligations and this will result   in the loss of a financial asset. For this reason, the default risk of financial assets is continually monitored by the  management, which concerns the trade receivables in particular.  
The maximum credit and default risk of financial assets is the same as the amounts recognized in the statement   of financial position. There is furthermore no notable concentration of default risks.  
The default risk relating to receivables is reduced by a factoring agreement. Moreover, terms and conditions of   payment where the customer pays for the goods before they are dispatched are offered in the main. More  information on the development of the write-downs as well as on the maturity structure is provided in Section  10.6.  
Liquidity risk  
Liquidity risk describes the risk that the Group is unable to meet its financial obligations or can meet them only   to a limited extent. The management of the momox Group therefore constantly monitors the risk of a liquidity  bottleneck by means of the liquidity planning. The aim is to maintain a balance between continually covering the  funding requirements and ensuring flexibility by utilizing an overdraft facility where interest is charged at 2.5%  (plus the euro short-term rate starting from December 1, 2022). The credit facility of EUR 6.5 million was  completely unused as of December 31, 2021 and as of December 31, 2022.  
With the exception of the liabilities in connection with the green bond (see section 10.14) and the lease liabilities   (see section 10.4), the Group’s financial liabilities that existed at December 31, 2022 are exclusively short term in  nature, meaning they are due within 12 months.  
The tables below analyze the financial (undiscounted) liabilities of the Group in the relevant maturity ranges based   on their contractual terms.

Currency risk  
As the momox Group operates internationally, risks arise from receipts and payments in foreign currencies. This   concerns transactions in pound sterling, US dollars, Canadian dollars, and Polish zloty in particular. Currency risks  from the operating business have been classed as not material in the Group up to now, as all of the purchasing  and the majority of the sales are settled in euros. In the period under review, the proportion of the sales revenue  not generated in euros amounted to less than 5% of total revenue.  
Interest rate risk  
Within the momox Group, only the green bond that was issued on July 10, 2020 for EUR 100 million with a term   of five years has a floating interest rate.  
Hedging against potential interest rate changes was not undertaken in the fiscal year. The background to this is   the agreed minimum interest rate, which it is not possible to fall below. An increase in interest expenses has to  be recorded only when the reference interest rate (EURIBOR) is positive. Because of the settlement system of our  bond, this rate rose above 0 percentage points only from October 10, 2022. An analysis of the interest rate  sensitivity shows that a 0.5 percentage point increase in the variable interest rate would have led to higher  interest payments of EUR 115 thousand. A 0.5 percentage point decline in the interest rates would accordingly  have reduced the interest payments by EUR 115 thousand. This accounts for 1.74% of the interest expenses for  the bond, which is why the impacts for the fiscal year have been regarded as immaterial. Future potential interest  rate risks are countered by acontinual analysis of financial hedging possibilities.  11.1.2 Additional information on financial instruments  
Financial assets and liabilities are classified and recognized on the acquisition date in accordance with the   categories in IFRS 9. A financial instrument is recognized for the first time at fair value, including any transaction  costs, in principle.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
Because of the short term of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables, and the other   current financial assets and liabilities, it is assumed that the relevant fair value is approximately equivalent to the  carrying amount.  
The relevant fair value is also approximately equivalent to the carrying amount in the case of the non-current   financial assets, lease liabilities, and the green bond.  
The table below shows the reconciliation of the balance sheet items and the measurement categories in   accordance with IFRS 9:

AC: amortized cost, FVTPL: fair value through profit or loss  
Receivables from factoring are measured both in the initial and in the follow-up measurement at fair value   through profit or loss (FVTPL) and allocated to Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. In principle, the fair value  of the receivables is equivalent to the carrying amount or the value of the transaction, which is why no significant  changes in value are recognized in the net income for the period.

A. Group profile  
The momox Group (in short: “momox”) headquartered in Berlin is a major retailer of used articles from private  
sellers. The key focus of the momox Group here is articles such as books, media, and fashion. As a trailblazer and  
pioneer, momox has succeeded in establishing itself as one of the market leaders in re-commerce. Using different  
sales channels (medimops.de, momox-shop.fr, momoxfashion.com), momox benefits from the general  
development of the e-commerce market. Because of the very different private individuals who sell used articles  
and, on the other side, the connection to Amazon, eBay and other partner platforms, momox is very well  
positioned on the market.  
Following the adoption of the shareholder resolution on December 5, 2022 and the entry in the commercial  
register on December 13, 2022, momox Holding AG as the parent company was converted into momox Holding SE.  
The conversion of the subsidiary momox AG into momox SE was entered in the commercial register on December  
13, 2022. In addition to these two companies, the Group also comprises MOMOX Polska Sp. z o.o. and momox  
Services GmbH.  
The management report and the group management report of momox Holding SE have been combined.  
B. Economic report  
1. Development of the economy as a whole  
The German economy was impacted in 2022 by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, high inflation and supply  
constraints.1 German gross domestic product grew by 1.9% in 2022 (previous year: 2.7%2) year on year from 2021.3  
The inflation rate rose from 3.1%4 to 7.9% in the year under review.5  
GDP in France (+2.6%) and Austria (+4.8% ) also grew solidly, even if the pace of growth is likely to remain uneven  
across the individual countries and sectors.6 The development of the economy in the euro area was impacted by  
the energy crisis, great uncertainty among consumers and companies, the global decline in business activities and  
tighter financing conditions.7 Economic growth is therefore likely to decrease to 0.9% in 2023.8  
2. Development of the sector  
Re-commerce can be seen as an extension of the conventional value chain. Products that would normally “retire”  
from the goods cycle are brought back into it and supplied to a new end consumer.  
Sales in the e-commerce sector are forecast to reach around EUR 119.40 billion (previous year: EUR 109,561  
million) in Germany in 2023. Estimates indicate that a market volume of EUR 163.50 billion (2025: EUR 157.7  
billion) can be reached by 2027. The e-commerce sector will thus boast expected annual growth (CAGR 2023-2027)  
of 8.18% (previous year: 11.32%). 9  
Based on consumers’ growing affinity for online shopping and the increasing awareness of re-commerce models,  
momox has a very positive outlook on the further development of the sector, which it believes has a high potential.

A consolidation of the trend toward using articles in an environmentally friendly way and for longer can also be  
observed.10  
3. Sales and order trends  
Sales of the momox Group amounted to EUR 336,582 thousand in the fiscal year (previous year: EUR 335,137  
thousand). This is an increase of EUR 1,445 thousand from the previous year. The vast majority of the sales are  
generated in Germany. On the product side, books, CDs, DVDs, video games, software, and clothing are bought and  
sold. The increase in sales that was projected in the previous year was thus not achieved in the context of the  
developments in that year. A key reason for this result can be found in the fall in market demand caused by the war  
in Ukraine and inflation.  
4. Operating earnings  
Operating earnings after tax amounted to EUR 2,557 thousand (previous year: EUR 1,980 thousand) and thus  
increased by EUR 577 thousand year on year. The envisaged forecast of earnings comparable to 2021 was thus  
exceeded, also explained by extraordinary items recognized in the previous year.  
5. Procurement  
The purchase of merchandise is of major importance for the success of momox. It proved possible to increase the  
quantity of purchased merchandise during the fiscal year 2022. Because of the demand pressure in sales, the focus  
in purchasing was placed on higher-quality products. Warehouse capacity and personnel were adjusted to the  
change in volumes.  
6. Investments  
The largest investments were made in the fixed assets (including warehouse technology and office equipment) and  
the increased build-up of jobs. The investments in the expansion of the warehouse in Leipzig (EUR 0.8 million) and  
Poland (EUR 1.3 million) were especially significant. The warehouse expansion in Leipzig had not yet been fully  
completed by the end of the fiscal year 2022.  
7. Financing measures  
The acquisition of the shares in the former momox GmbH by momox Holding SE was financed by the green bond in  
the amount of EUR 100 million that was issued on July 10, 2020; no new financing activities were carried out in  
2022. The operating and investing activities are financed by cash flow from operations.  
8. Staff and welfare  
Additional personnel were recruited as a result of the planned expansion of the operating activities. The number of  
employees was reduced following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, but it rose slightly on average from 2,207  
employees as of December 31, 2021 to 2,232 in 2022. The number of temporary workers built up in the previous  
year was reduced to zero in the first quarter of this year.

Combined Group Management Report

9. Management Board’s summary of the business performance and the economic environment  
Overall, the economic environment in which the Group operates has to be regarded as challenging. Nevertheless,  
the momox Group was able to hold its ground in the fiscal year, and, against the background of the current  
challenges, momox judges the business performance and the economic situation to be positive overall.  
C. Presentation of the company’s position  
1. Development of the net assets  
Total assets of the momox Group increased by EUR 18,802 thousand or 8% to EUR 258,296 thousand.  
On the assets side, the non-current assets increased to EUR 195,882 thousand essentially as a result of investments  
to expand the warehouse capacity in Leipzig and the lease of additional space.  
Current assets rose by EUR 5,729 thousand to EUR 62,414 thousand. Cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR  
10,956 thousand to EUR 38,056 thousand in particular as a result of the lower tax payments in line with the net  
income and well as the investments in warehouse capacity that were normalized again in the year under review.  
This contrasts with the decline in trade receivables by EUR 3,555 thousand (December 31, 2022: EUR 4,677  
thousand; previous year: EUR 8,232 thousand), which can be attributed among other things to payment terms on  
the sales channels. In addition, income tax receivables were lower by EUR 1,101 thousand on account of excess  
payments to the tax office that were settled and current advance taxes.  
On the liabilities side, the equity increased from EUR 75,536 thousand to EUR 77,890 thousand. This increase of  
EUR 2,354 thousand resulted primarily from the positive net profit for the period (net income for the year from the  
statement of comprehensive income). In addition, the non-current liabilities rose to EUR 143,177 thousand the  
result essentially of new and amended leases and the corresponding increase in lease liabilities by EUR 18,318  
thousand.  
The decline in trade payables (December 31, 2022: EUR 10,847 thousand; previous year: EUR 13,332 thousand)  
and provisions (December 31, 2022: EUR 4,117 thousand; previous year: EUR 6,253 thousand) as of the reporting  
date played a significant role in the decline in the current liabilities (December 31, 2022: EUR 37,229 thousand;  
previous year: EUR 37,955 thousand). The increase in income tax liabilities by EUR 1,999 thousand to EUR 2,188  
thousand (see explanation on income tax receivables) and in the other non-financial liabilities by EUR 1,495  
thousand to EUR 12,468 thousand resulting among other things from the creation of new jobs and correspondingly  
higher liabilities from wages and salaries had an opposite effect.  
2. Development of the financial position  
2.1 Cash flow  
momox Holding SE and its subsidiaries were able to meet their payment obligations at all times in 2022. The  
company’s management constantly monitors the liquidity situation and, if necessary, institutes appropriate  
measures to promptly prevent any liquidity shortages. The funds required for investments in the warehouse  
expansion and in the sale and marketing of the products were financed from the operating business and from cash  
liquidity. The interest payments to be made for the liabilities arising from the green bond were financed from the  
cash funds.  
With the exception of the liabilities in connection with the green bond (see Section 10.14 in the notes to the  
consolidated financial statements) and the lease liabilities (see Section 10.4 in the notes to the consolidated  
financial statements), the Group’s financial liabilities that existed at December 31, 2022 are exclusively short term  
in nature, meaning they are due within twelve months.  
The momox companies are currently financed primarily through the momox Holding SE bond that was issued in July  
2020 (green bond). The momox Group additionally finances itself through cash flow from operations.

2.2 Cash flow from operating activities  
A positive cash flow of EUR 23,872 thousand (previous year: EUR 9,637 thousand) was generated from operating  
activities. The performance is based primarily on the lower income tax that was paid (December 31, 2022: EUR -162  
thousand; previous year: EUR -10,144 thousand) as a result of advance tax assessment notices and repayments  
made during the year.  
2.3 Cash flow from investing activities  
Cash flow from investing activities totaled EUR -2,293 thousand (previous year: EUR -9,995 thousand). The decline  
is in particular the result of investments in fixed assets completed in the previous year, especially investments in  
the expansion of the warehouses in Leipzig and Poland. The focus of the investments was accordingly the  
consistent continuation of the corporate strategy.  
The obligations entered into by the balance sheet date of December 31, 2022 for investments that lead in the  
subsequent reporting periods to cash outflows totaling around EUR 0.4 million (previous year: EUR 3.7 million) will  
be financed from the existing cash balances and from cash flow from operating activities.  
2.4 Cash flow from financing activities  
Cash flow from financing activities (EUR -10.046 thousand; previous year: EUR -9,268 thousand), which essentially  
includes the interest payments from the green bond that was issued as well as the payments in connection with the  
lease liabilities, developed in the opposite direction.  
Within the momox Group, only the green bond that was issued on July 10, 2020 for EUR 100 million with a term of  
five years has a floating interest rate. The credit facility with a term that runs to December 31, 2023 and a ceiling of  
EUR 6.5 million was completely unused as of the balance sheet date. It will be reduced by EUR 3 million to EUR 3.5  
million with effect from January 1, 2023.  
Shares in momox SE have been pledged in order to secure the bond issued in 2020 (see notes to the consolidated  
financial statements, Section 11.4).  
3. Development of the results of operations  
Sales for the fiscal year 2022 total EUR 336,582 thousand and can be broken down as follows:  
in TEUR  
2022  
2021

Germany  
Total  
336,582  
335,137  
The fall in demand that followed the start of the Russia-Ukraine war had largely been recovered by the fourth  
quarter. The decline in demand that was triggered as a result had a stronger impact on international sales.  
Material usage amounted to EUR 110,925 thousand (previous year: EUR : 107,080 thousand) and the material  
usage rate comes to 33.0% (previous year: 32.0%). The increase can be attributed in particular to the focus in  
purchasing on more restrictive, higher-quality products.  
Personnel expenses rose from EUR 58,419 thousand (previous year) to EUR 63,774 thousand or, in proportion to  
revenue, from 17.4% (previous year) to 18.9%. This can primarily be attributed to adjustments to wages and  
salaries. On the one hand, the minimum wage was raised on two occasions in 2022 and, on the other, the strong  
competition on the local labor markets was taken into account and the workforce was expanded.  
The decline in the other operating expenses (EUR 143,681 thousand, previous year: EUR 152,687 thousand) was  
caused essentially by significantly lower marketing expenses. The expansion of warehouse capacity and increasing

Page 6  
energy costs led to higher expenses for premises. The financial result essentially contains the interest payments for  
the green bond, which – linked to EURIBOR – increased indirectly as a result of the rise in inflation.  
The net profit for the period increased as a result of the effects described from EUR 1,980 thousand to EUR 2,557  
thousand.  
4. Financial and non-financial performance indicators and management parameters  
The Group’s economic planning and management is carried out centrally using targets set by the management.  
Based on these specifications, the business performance is regularly reviewed using constantly updated estimates  
of the key management and performance indicators, where the implementation of the strategic objectives is  
pursued and measures to counteract any deviations from planning are initiated. The most important management  
parameters and financial performance indicators are sales and EBITDA.  
The non-financial performance indicators that are important for the Group, such as sustainability, customer  
satisfaction, environmental issues, and employee issues, are not used directly to manage the Group, but do have an  
influence on the future orientation of the business activities.  
5. Management Board’s summary of the net assets, financial position and results of operations  
Overall, the Group's net assets, financial position and results of operations are reasonable and have to be  
considered positive in light of the challenging conditions. The momox Group has sufficient liquidity and adequate  
financing. A positive net profit for the period is still reported.  
6. momox Holding SE – Position of the parent company  
As a supplement to the Group reporting, the performance of the parent company momox Holding SE is described  
separately below in accordance with Section 315 para 5 HGB in conjunction with Section 298 para 2 sentence 2  
HGB.  
momox Holding SE prepares the annual financial statements in accordance with the German Commercial Code  
(HGB) and the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) in conjunction with Article 61 of the EU Regulation 2157/2001.  
momox Holding SE functions as the holding company for the subsidiaries of the momox Group. For this reason,  
separate key financial or non-financial performance indicators have not been defined at the level of the single-  
entity financial statements. The economic situation and the business performance thus depend on the  
performance of the subsidiaries. The performance of momox Holding SE itself is accordingly characterized primarily  
by the financing expenses and the profit and loss transfer agreement.  
6.1 Development of the financial position of momox Holding SE  
Total assets of momox Holding SE increased by EUR 11,434 thousand or 5.08% to EUR 236,695 thousand.  
On the assets side, receivables from affiliated companies experienced a positive development, increasing by EUR  
16,188 thousand. The background here is the deferment of the profit transfer from the subsidiary (momox SE).  
Other assets decreased from EUR 3,214 thousand to EUR 2,152 thousand, in particular as a result of tax refunds  
from the previous year that were settled.  
On the liabilities side, the equity increased from EUR 83,365 thousand to EUR 89,296 thousand. This increase of  
EUR 5,931 thousand resulted primarily from the positive net profit for the period of EUR 5,931 thousand (net  
income for the year from the statement of comprehensive income).  
In addition, the provisions increased by EUR 2,162 thousand in particular on account of the higher tax liabilities to  
be recognized in the current year (previous year: tax refunds). Trade receivables totaled EUR 52 thousand on the  
reporting date, increasing slightly year on year (December 31, 2021: EUR 41 thousand). In contrast, liabilities to  
affiliated companies increased by EUR 3,037 thousand, among other things as a result of interest charges from

momox Holding SE,

Page 7  
intercompany loan agreements. The other liabilities increased by EUR 293 thousand, among other things because  
of the interest rate trend of the bond.  
6.2 Development of the result of operations of momox Holding SE  
No sales are generated in the holding company. The other operating expenses were reduced from EUR 1,248  
thousand to EUR 802 thousand. Key reasons for the decline are overall lower consulting costs and financial  
statement and auditing expenses. Income from the profit and loss transfer agreement increased in line with the  
result of the subsidiary (momox SE) from EUR 16,725 thousand to EUR 18,280 thousand.  
Other interest and similar income increased from EUR 301 thousand to EUR 1,158 thousand. The reason for this is  
in particular the adjustment of the interest rate on an intercompany loan with momox SE, Berlin, resulting from the  
referencing to the EURIBOR rate. Interest and similar expenses increased from EUR 9,084 thousand to EUR 9,660  
thousand. They essentially include the liabilities arising from the bond as well as from an intercompany loan with  
momox SE.  
Taxes on income increased in line with the net income for the period from EUR 2,507 thousand to EUR 3,177  
thousand.  
Net income for the year increased from EUR 4,750 thousand to EUR 5,931 thousand.  
6.3 Development of the financial position of momox Holding SE  
momox Holding SE was able to meet its payment obligations at all times in 2022. The company’s management  
constantly monitors the liquidity situation and, if necessary, institutes appropriate measures to promptly prevent  
any liquidity shortages. The interest payments to be made for the liabilities arising from the green bond were  
financed from the cash funds, which are provided through intercompany loans.  
With the exception of the liabilities in connection with the green bond and the liabilities to affiliated companies  
from loans, the company’s financial liabilities that existed at December 31, 2022 are exclusively short term in  
nature, meaning they are due within twelve months.  
momox Holding SE is currently financed primarily through the bond that was issued in July 2020 (green bond) as  
well as through intercompany loans and the profit and loss transfer agreement.  
Negative cash flow of EUR -505 thousand (previous year: EUR -13,107 thousand) was generated from the operating  
activities. This performance is based essentially on the increase of EUR 1,182 thousand in net income for the period  
as well as the consolidated tax group for income tax purposes (fall of EUR 11,881 thousand in income tax paid) with  
the subsidiaries momox SE, Berlin, and momox Services GmbH, Berlin, which resulted in payments of back and  
advance taxes in the previous year.  
Cash flow from investing activities as of December 31, 2022 amounts to EUR 1,139 thousand (previous year:  
EUR 36,225 thousand) and thus shows a decline of EUR 35,086 thousand. The change results in particular from the  
reduction in the claims for the profit transfer from previous years that has not yet been received due to deferment  
agreements. Interest received increased by EUR 471 thousand in 2022, in particular on account of the alignment of  
an intercompany loan with momox SE, Berlin, on the EURIBOR rate.  
Cash flow from financing activities (EUR -4,326 thousand; previous year: EUR -21,359 thousand), which essentially  
includes the interest payments from the green bond that was issued as well as the payments in connection with the  
intercompany loan to momox SE, Berlin, developed in the opposite direction. The development results in particular  
from the intercompany loan that was issued in the previous year (EUR 15 million) and partially repaid in the fiscal  
year (EUR 2 million).

Summary of the position of momox Holding SE  
Overall, the Group’s net assets, financial position and results of operations can be regarded as positive in  
consideration of the challenging general conditions. The company has sufficient liquidity and adequate financing.  
Positive net assets can be presented through the profit and loss transfer agreement with the subsidiaries.  
D. Reproduction of the concluding statement of the Management Board on the dependent company report  
The Management Board of momox Holding SE submitted the dependent company report required by Section 312  
AktG to the Supervisory Board and issued the following concluding statement:  
“With respect to the transactions and measures listed in the report on related party disclosures and based on the  
circumstances known to us at the time in which the legal transactions were carried out or measures performed or  
refrained from, momox Holding SE received appropriate compensation for every transaction and has therefore not  
been disadvantaged by any measures performed or refrained from.”  
E. Opportunity and risk report  
1. Risk management system  
Risk management is a key component of the business activities at momox. To protect the momox Group against  
developments that pose a threat to the company as a going concern, an extensive risk management system is  
implemented on the basis of the risk policy in accordance with the corporate strategy that has been adopted. The  
fundamental design of the risk management system is based on the internationally recognized COSO Enterprise  
Risk Management Framework (COSO: Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission). As a  
result, indications that developments are posing a threat to the company as a going concern are identified at an  
early stage so that suitable countermeasures can be initiated to protect assets against loss.  
The risk policy adopted by momox can be understood as a key integral component of the company’s management  
for achieving the strategic and operational corporate objectives whereby both the importance and the  
responsibility are taken into appropriate consideration at Management Board level and also at management level  
1. Profitable growth and sustainable positive results in all areas of the company are one of the most important  
strategic objectives.  
The risk management process is a dynamic process in the momox Group and designed to cover all risk fields. It  
should not be understood as the implementation and coordination of one-off measures at a single point in time,  
but is integrated as a continual corporate process in all business activities at all levels of the company. The  
established principles and the process of risk management are derived and adopted by the Management Board in  
consultation with the Supervisory Board in line with the corporate strategy and are documented with binding  
effect.

(measures)  
The risk that has previously been identified by the management is determined together with the related risk  
potential in the course of the risk assessment. In order to identify risks posing a threat to the company as a going  
concern, a two-state assessment is carried out based on the parameters “level of damage” and “probability of  
occurrence”. The individual risks are classified systematically into the categories market risks, strategic risks, and  
operational risks and presented in a risk matrix (risk profile). The risk profile highlights what need for action arises  
when the identified risks occur depending on the level of damage and probability of occurrence. In order to clearly  
establish the need for action, a threshold is defined per risk on the basis of a limit system. The limit system defines  
thresholds for each risk category or individual risk that, when reached, trigger the initiation of additional control  
instruments. Ultimately, the risks have been categorized into urgent need for action, increased or enhanced  
monitoring, and annual monitoring.

Characteristics indicating above-average impact / probability of occurrence are significant for all combinations  
involving urgent need for action (red zone). All risks in the zone have to be reported when they are identified. The  
zone marked yellow points to a balanced “average risk impact / probability of occurrence combination”, i.e.  
positions that are characterized by an average impact and an average probability of occurrence.  
An adjustment during the year is necessary here only when new information that impacts the risk is received. The  
Management Board and the Supervisory Board keep a critical eye on these risks. The risks in the white fields are  
reviewed annually as are all risks and do not require a response during the year.  
With the help of the risk monitoring, the deviations between the opportunity and risk situation of the company that  
is intended and based on the risk policy and the actual situation are identified and appropriate measures are  
instituted.  
A risk reporting system is implemented in the momox Group, i.e. the individual risk officers report once a year on  
the current situation and assessment of the core risks. To provide a better overview, all the risks of the risk owner  
that are subject to reporting requirements are listed in the up-to-date risk map for them. The risk owner thus has  
to check only whether something has changed during the reporting period or whether there is a danger that  
something might change in the near future. Current changes in potential risks then converge in the course of the  
risk reporting and are checked to see how relevant they are. If there is a reporting requirement, proposals for  
solving or averting the risk are discussed with the relevant risk owner and the report is forwarded to the  
Management Board. From there in turn, and in cooperation with the risk owner, the appropriate countermeasures  
are initiated.  
2. Key features of the accounting-related internal control and risk management system  
A key integral element of the internal monitoring system of the momox Group is formed by the accounting-related  
risk management system and the associated internal control system in accordance with Section 315 para. 4 HGB.  
The objective is to ensure the compliance of the financial reporting. The basis is compliance with the relevant  
standards and laws for presenting a true and fair view of the Group’s net assets, financial position and results of  
operations.  
The foundations for this are the accounting guidelines and the chart of accounts that is uniform throughout the  
Group and applied consistently and which is defined and controlled by the Finance department. New laws and  
accounting standards and other official pronouncements are continuously analyzed to see how relevant they are  
for and what impact they may have on the consolidated financial statements and the group management report.  
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in the consolidation system on the basis of the standardized  
entries and the financial statement information to be reported. Ensuring that the financial statements are  
presented and published on schedule and that the information in them is correct is reliably taken care of by highly  
qualified employees with appropriate responsibility at the most varied of levels. The steps to be carried out to  
prepare the consolidated financial statements are subject at all levels to manual (e.g. dual control principle and  
approval processes at all levels) as well as technical system controls. Other control mechanisms include  
target/actual comparisons as well as analyses relating to the composition of the contents and changes to the  
individual items both of the financial statement information reported by the Group units and of the consolidated  
financial statements.  
The IT systems supporting the accounting-related data are protected among other things by defined permission  
concepts, access restrictions, firewalls, and contingency concepts.  
The responsibility for setting up and effectively maintaining appropriate controls over the financial reporting lies  
with the Management Board of momox Holding SE (Section 91 para. 3 AktG), which assesses the appropriateness  
and effectiveness of the control system at the end of each fiscal year. The Supervisory Board additionally monitors

the financial reporting process as well as the effectiveness of the risk management and internal control system in  
accordance with Section 107 para. 3 sentence 2 AktG.  
3. Description of the risk  
3.1 Market risks  
General market trend  
The uncertain and rapidly changing geopolitical situation in connection with the war in Ukraine, high inflation and  
the resulting tightening of monetary policy represent higher risks for the economic outlook compared with the  
previous year. The accompanying consequences, such as higher energy prices and interest rates, may cause  
financial losses and lead to fluctuations in the earnings. Moreover, the increase in the cost of living may result in  
lower consumer spending and a fall in customer activities. In the short term, therefore, addressing geopolitical risk  
and the increased financial uncertainty is on the agenda of our risk management.  
momox counters the resulting risks by swiftly adjusting to the change in circumstances. The diversification of our  
business model plays a role in mitigating the vulnerability to certain risks. We update our forecasts regularly and, if  
necessary, adjust investment priorities and costs. By continually optimizing our pricing and also by identifying  
market prospects on an ongoing basis, e.g. the further internationalization of our purchasing, we reduce the risks to  
an appropriate minimum. The Management Board and the Supervisory Board keep a critical eye on these risks.  
Sector-specific risks  
Based on the further growth in re-commerce that has been forecast, the market environment is very advantageous  
and it is expected that the sales situation will benefit from that. However, the competition overall in the e-  
commerce environment is fundamentally strong. Other providers such as Rebuy and World of Books have also  
recorded high growth rates in the past few years and illustrate the dynamism in this market segment. From the  
perspective of momox, it is rather unlikely and of minor import that a relevant new competitor will enter the  
market in the near future, because it is difficult to develop adequate price algorithms and logistical capacity. The  
market penetration and the profile that momox has created has developed in a very positive way over the years.  
The Management Board and the Supervisory Board keep a critical eye on these risks.  
Earnings-specific risks  
There is a direct dependence on the sales channels that are used. momox is endeavoring to counter this  
dependence on certain sales channels by further diversifying the sales channels, by continuing to expand its own  
sales structures, and through internationalization. A risk exists in the significant increase in competition among  
existing providers both on the purchasing and on the sales side. momox counters this risk by enhanced measures to  
strengthen customer loyalty, by improving the range of products on offer, and by optimizing prices.  
We have already anchored in our mission and leadership guidelines that, in addition to high performance and  
target achievement, the focus for us is on people. In order to be successful here in the long term, the momox  
Group has implemented various concepts in the area of employees (for more information, see section 4.1 of the  
non-financial group report). Despite our efforts to create an appropriate life perspective for employees, the momox  
Group has to consider resulting risks in the continuous cost planning. Among other things, momox counters the risk  
of a reduced profit margin due to further minimum wage increases by aligning its price and cost structure and  
relocating costly processes.  
The Management Board and the Supervisory Board keep a critical eye on these risks.

3.2 Strategic risks  
Strategic risks threaten primarily the achievement of the long-term corporate objectives, especially with regard to  
profitability and sales growth. There is a risk that the resources necessary to achieve the growth in sales will not be  
available in an adequate scope or that the planned personnel, material, and financial expenditure will be exceeded.  
Preventive management measures, such as active and systematic monitoring of the business and market trends,  
long-term planning, and a concept for establishing and retaining a qualified team at the management level, are  
implemented to minimize risks. The Management Board and the Supervisory Board keep a critical eye on these  
risks.  
3.3 Operational risks  
There are other risks throughout the entire value creation process of the momox Group and in the relevant  
functions that may exert an influence on the momox Group on account of their impact or probability of occurrence,  
but that will for the most part probably result in acceptable costs. The material risks have been identified by the  
Group.  
Financial risks arising from the use of financial instruments  
Central banks have tightened their monetary policy appreciably in order to combat high inflation. This has led to  
increased volatility on the financial markets and greater financial vulnerability, putting a brake on markets  
worldwide. Consequently, the credit risk in the momox portfolio may increase depending on future developments.  
Moreover, potentially negative risks could arise as a result of the volatility on the financial markets and risk-averse  
behavior by the banks, which could have an impact on transaction volumes and interest rate trends. momox  
counters these risks among other things by monitoring the global economic situation on an ongoing basis as well as  
by using this monitoring to conduct continual analysis of financial hedging opportunities. More information on the  
financial risks is provided in Section 11.1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Overall, the financial  
risks are rated as low and reviewed annually.  
IT risks  
The Group is dependent to a great extent on functioning IT systems, and malfunctions in / sabotage to its IT  
systems can have a detrimental impact on the business operations, the prospects, the financial position, and the  
operating result. These IT systems are constantly maintained, upgraded, and supported in order to reduce the IT  
risks. Contingency concepts that are implemented, early warning systems, firewalls, and adequate anti-virus  
software continue to protect the Group against the consequences arising from IT risks. The Management Board  
and the Supervisory Board keep a critical eye on these risks.  
Logistics risks  
The Group’s success depends to a great extent on efficient logistics, including the transport to and from as well as  
between its warehouse facilities. Disruptions in the transport sector can result in longer delivery times for  
customers, among other things. Transport costs can also rise on account of the dependency on third-party  
providers. This risks can have a detrimental impact on the financial position and the results of the Group. Inefficient  
warehousing can additionally lead to excess capacity or shortages in capacity in the logistics system.  
The Group has warehouse facilities in Germany and Poland. Damage to or disruptions in the warehouse facility,  
including damage to or malfunctions in the equipment, e.g. as a result of fires, natural disasters, or disruptions to  
operations, can result in considerable direct and indirect losses. This risk has increased in the last few years,  
especially because of the fact that the use of automated processes and special materials handling systems – and  
thus also the vulnerability of the processes to technical problems – has also increased. To protect against these  
risks, insurance policies have been taken out in order to absorb possible negative effects on the operating activities,  
the prospects, the financial position, and the operating result. The momox Group has continued to introduce  
effective and optimized logistics and inventory management. Warehouse technology, ventilation, and fire safety  
measures result in protection against risks arising from disruptions to operations or force majeure. Goods receiving,

checking and processing the incoming goods, warehousing, packaging, outgoing shipments, as well as the  
acceptance, checking and processing of returns are carried out at various Group sites. These risks are critically  
observed and monitored annually by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board.  
Personnel risks  
The momox Group is dependent on highly qualified specialists and managers in various functions. Recruiting that is  
not aligned with the business plan or absences due to strikes could worsen the Group's prospects and have led to a  
new risk assessment compared with the previous year. Through active human resources work, such as the  
adjustment of the salary structure, subject-specific development of job descriptions, annual employee surveys and  
the establishment of a works council, the momox Group strives to motivate and retain employees in the long term.  
Further information of the various concepts in the area of employees can be found in the non-financial group  
report under section 4.1. These risks are critically monitored by the management board and supervisory board.  
Legal and regulatory risks  
The Group is subject to laws and regulations, and amendments to them, in a number of different jurisdictions.  
Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations can negatively impact the Group. On account of the close  
monitoring, managed by qualified employees of the Legal department at momox, any changes in the regulatory  
environment can be quickly identified and implemented. The Management Board and the Supervisory Board keep  
a critical eye on these risks.  
3.4 Summary of the risks  
Overall, the direct dependence on the sales channels that are used and how to cope with the current market trends  
are seen as the most significant risks. However, this affects all market participants, and the impact is a key element  
of risk management. Comprehensive weekly and monthly reporting produces the risk analysis. The crucial company  
KPIs are constantly monitored and analyzed every week. This enables undesirable developments to be quickly  
identified and necessary countermeasures to be promptly initiated. The Business Intelligence (BI) solution, which is  
constantly being further developed, enables momox to carry out targeted, detailed analyses and to quickly  
implement necessary adjustments in line with the relevant market circumstances. This means that the impact on  
the results of operations is limited.  
Opportunities  
The opportunities management system at momox aims to enable positive trends in the course of the business  
activities to be used comprehensively and from an early stage.  
The growing e-commerce market represents an opportunity for momox to expand its sales. In addition, the  
growing awareness around the issue of the sustainability of products is also an opportunity for momox.  
Opportunities can be seen in further market penetration, internationalization, and the diversification of the  
business model. Using the expertise that has been developed and the technology behind it, new business and  
market fields can be established, scaled up and expanded.  
Over the last few years, momox has set up an established logistics system in line with the business model that will  
enable the company to continue to process increasing volumes in the next few years. momox sees an opportunity  
in the further improvement of the price algorithms to optimize margins. The basis for identifying opportunities are  
here market and competition monitoring, analyses, as well as regular exchanges with experts.  
momox aims to grow constantly and sees opportunities for the growth of the company in acquisitions or mergers.  
Other opportunities have been identified in the area of the sustainable business model (see the non-financial  
Group report), increases in efficiency, personnel development, and winning market share.

Overall assessment of the risk and opportunity situation  
The overall picture of the situation for the momox Group is composed of the risks and opportunities described  
above. The overall risk situation has changed from the previous year following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine as  
well as the increased financial uncertainty. However, no risks are evident that might jeopardize the ability of the  
momox Group to continue as a going concern or that might exert a significant influence on the net assets, financial  
position, and results of operations. The opportunity situation for the momox Group has improved in comparison  
with the previous year, however, with one reason being the change in customers’ awareness of sustainable and  
environmentally conscious lifestyles. Moreover, risk concentrations are reduced through continual diversification of  
the business model, internationalization, and digitalization.  
F. Forecast  
1. Objectives and strategies  
The momox Group works with annual, medium and long-term planning as well as forecast models during the year.  
The consequences of the Russia-Ukraine war for the global financial markets, international supply chains, and  
economic activity in Germany and for the momox Group cannot be predicted at the moment because of the strong  
dynamics of the current situation, but they may have an impact on forecasting accuracy.  
Nevertheless, the momox Group expects the macroeconomic situation to continue to recover in 2023 and sales to  
continue to grow in the low single-digit range. The continual price increases of the delivery service providers and  
the adjustment of the minimum wage in Poland and Germany are expected to continue to weigh on the momox  
margin in 2023. A slightly higher net result for the period than in 2022 is planned on the basis of an EBITDA margin  
in the middle single-digit range. Based on the expansion of sales, a further increase in the number of employees is  
planned.  
Sales growth depends essentially on the ability to continue to increase the purchasing of merchandise. In order to  
achieve this, momox is planning to further internationalize the purchasing in 2023. So that the merchandise that is  
purchased can also be sold, momox plans to link to other marketplaces in addition to the existing sales channels.  
momox started on the iteration of the fashion segment in the fourth quarter of 2022. The aim is to improve cost  
effectiveness and profitability. This will primarily be implemented by optimizing the product range that momox  
purchases and can subsequently sell. momox will support this iteration throughout 2023. The momox Group  
estimates that growth levels in the other categories will be slightly higher than the level achieved in 2022.  
The influence of the Russian invasion of Ukraine has been incorporated in the planning. The momox Group  
assumes that the further course of the war and the impact on overall economic growth will not signify material  
changes in the business performance in comparison with last year. In sum, lower growth is expected in 2023.  
2. Overall presentation of the forecast  
Starting out from the above-mentioned expansions and forecasts, momox expects a stable basis for generating  
future income. In the longer term, momox sees itself gaining a stronger and more flexible position, as a result of the  
optimizations already implemented, to be able to counter possible changes in the economic or competitive  
situation effectively.  
G. Non-financial Group report  
In accordance with the requirements of Sections 315b and 315c in conjunction with 289c through 289e HGB, the  
separate non-financial group report of the momox Group will be available in the annual report on the website of  
the momox Group at https://momox-holding-client-berhb3gjgq-ew.a.run.app/ after it is published.
