Commenting on the performance, Global CEO Mark Watkin said:

"BikeExchange continued to deliver solid growth during the quarter with a signifcant uplift in the volume and value of transactions driving a strong increase in lookthrough revenue and total transaction value. Our focus on sellers, stock, and transactions is guiding this momentum, while our acquisitions are fuelling our e-Commerce frst strategy, in line with our vision of making it easy for customers to buy and sell all things bike.

"Our online marketplace continues to resonate with customers with more bike purchases on our e-Commerce site than ever before. We recorded an 18% increase in transaction volume in H1 FY22 - the highest ever for a half year period - and average order value increased 32% to $645. Quality of stock and e-commerce enabled listings continues to grow, ofering customers greater choice with a wide variety of bikes across the whole price spectrum.

"Website trafc remained strong with an annualised 21 million sessions for the half as we focused on converting visitors to transactions. The business is seeing more normalised levels of overall website trafc, after the high peaks experienced in the initial COVID lockdown periods in 2021, with trafc 26% above the comparable period for H1 FY20.

"Improving customer conversion has been key over the last six months and we are pleased to see conversion continue to increase to 0.20% from 0.13% in H1 FY21.

"Enquiry lead volumes, totaling an annualised $1.3 billion in value for the half, continue to present signifcant e-Commerce conversion opportunities.

"Our retail network is expanding, with a 20% increase in active retail accounts to 1,734 compared with December 2020. As a result, our lookthrough subscription revenue increased 15% on H1 FY21 and 9% on Q1 FY22.

"We acquired US-based 'Ready to Ride' bike delivery company Kitzuma in December 2021. This unique company removes the need for a box or construction of a bike upon delivery, which is a key friction point in the customer journey. Servicing all major regions of North America, Kitzuma is a highly complementary business to BikeExchange's ofering and provides a value-add service for retailers, brands, and customers. Kitzuma is globally scalable and can be replicated in other markets, and we are excited about the growth potential for the business.

"During the quarter, we also announced the signing of a Non Binding Indicative Ofer to acquire the remaining 50% of BikeExchange Colombia S.A.S that we did not own. This allows us to capture the growing interest in bikes from Colombians and also provides a platform to expand into other LatAm regions and is expected to complete in February 2022.

"Our executive team has been further bolstered by the appointment of Rebecca Boxall as Chief Customer Ofcer in North America, Joe McArdle as Head of Seller Success in Australia, and Andreas Liertz as Regional and Sales Lead for Europe. Rebecca, Joe and Andreas will drive growth through retailer sales acquisition and on-site transactions."

Q2 FY22 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE - REVENUE & TTV

1. TTV and Revenue by geography

Record e-Commerce orders in ANZ while Europe continues strong growth BikeExchange delivered a solid result across all four of its geographic hubs - ANZ, North America, Europe (Germany, Belgium and Netherlands), and Latin America (Colombia). In particular, ANZ achieved record e-Commercetransaction volume in the quarter, refecting improving customer conversion rates. Subscription revenues also increased quarter on quarter and on pcp, with total ANZ TTV up 22% and revenues up 21% on pcp.

Europe remained the strongest performer, with a 60% increase in TTV to $4.1 million and a 25% increase in revenue on pcp to $0.7 million. While all revenue categories grew, e-Commerce transaction value recorded particularly good growth, refecting continued strong demand for bikes in Europe.

North America TTV grew 9% on pcp whilst revenues declined 37% on pcp for the quarter, refecting inventory challenges, retailer supported promotional activities and a change in the mix of retailer commissions compared to the previous fnancial year. The focus for the sales and seller success teams continues on e-Commerce frst enablement and integration with quality sellers and products.

TTV in Colombia decreased by 16% for Q2 FY22 due to payment technology issues, which have been addressed by the end of Q2. The Group's share of revenue in BikeExchange Colombia grew 22% on pcp for the quarter due to loosening supply constraints increasing contracts delivered in the quarter.

2. TTV and Revenue by category

e-Commerce growth continues with record order volumes

Lookthrough e-Commerce commission revenue grew by 11% on pcp in Q2 FY22 and 57% for H1 FY22. The strong growth rate demonstrates BikeExchange's execution of its e-Commerce frst strategy. H1 is a seasonally slower quarter for e-Commerce as Europe and North America enter winter, with only 34% of FY21 gross e-Commerce transaction value delivered in H1 FY21. Order volumes of 9,300 in Q2 FY22 represent a six quarter high for the Group, and 18,412 in H1 FY22 is the highest recorded by the Group for any half-year period.

Average commission rates were solid at 7.8% in the quarter. Average order value for H1 FY22 increased by 32% and 21% on Q2 FY21, which can be attributed to the continued shift in product mix towards more bikes being sold during this period.

Trafc conversion rates improved to 0.24% in Q2 FY22 (H1 FY22: 0.20%) from 0.15% on pcp, despite a 28% decrease in website trafc to 10.5 million sessions for the half (including BikeExchange Colombia). This refects the improving quality of trafc and our focus on
