Aramis Group [Ticker: ARAMI – ISIN:
FR0014003U94], a European leader for B2C online used car sales,
operating the Aramisauto, Cardoen, Clicars and CarSupermarket
brands in France, Belgium, Spain and the UK respectively, is today
reporting its results for the first half of the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2022.
Nicolas Chartier and Guillaume Paoli,
co-founders3 of Aramis
Group:“During the first half of 2022,
Aramis Group successfully maintained a firm focus on its strategic
and operational priorities, once again recording very strong growth
in its refurbished vehicle sales, across each of its geographies,
despite an increasingly complex macroeconomic and car market
context. We are particularly proud of our teams’ continued
dedication and collective spirit, ensuring the satisfaction of our
customers, as well as the Group’s high level of agility with our
multi-channel sourcing, the use of our refurbishing capabilities,
and the optimization of our supply chain. Refurbishing and selling
an additional 12,000 refurbished vehicles, +56% compared with the
first half of 2021, represents a true industrial performance,
illustrating the relevance of our unique vertically integrated
business model, particularly since half of the refurbished vehicles
sold over this period had previously been acquired from private
owners. Aramis Group is perfectly positioned today to continue
moving forward with its roadmap and become the preferred digital
platform across Europe for buying and selling used cars
online”.
2022 FIRST-HALF
BUSINESS
During the first half of 2022, ended March 31,
the Group recorded revenues of €872.6 million, up +47.5% from the
first half of 2021 pro forma and +77.7% on a reported basis. In a
complex market environment, Aramis Group faced two opposite
trends.
On the one hand, the Group’s business in the
refurbished vehicle segment, its strategic priority and
representing more than 80% of its B2C volumes during the first half
of 2022, saw very strong growth, highlighting the success of Aramis
Group’s value proposition, focused at all times on ensuring
customer satisfaction.
On the other hand, business in the
pre-registered vehicle segment was significantly affected by the
very limited availability of new vehicles, the difficulties faced
by production lines against a backdrop of a shortage of
semiconductors, further compounded in recent months by the war in
Ukraine.

Analysis of revenues by
segment
B2C – sales of cars to private customers (83% of
revenues)
Revenues for the B2C segment -
corresponding to sales of refurbished and pre-registered cars to
private customers – totaled €726.4 million for the first half of
2022, up +42.6% pro forma compared with the first half of 2021 and
+69.0% on a reported basis.
Revenues for the refurbished cars
segment came to €575.0 million, up +90.7% pro forma
compared with the first half of 2021 and +159.3% on a reported
basis. 33,385 vehicles were delivered, up +55.9% pro forma and
+114.4% on a reported basis, reflecting the growing success of
Aramis Group’s offer with its customers across Europe.
To support this very strong growth around
healthy and sustainable foundations, the Group has accelerated the
opening of new refurbishing centers in the last few months and
further strengthened its agility in terms of sourcing. Across each
of its geographies, the Group’s very strong focus on buying B2C
vehicles from private customers through its digital platforms (51%
of the refurbished vehicles sold during the first half of 2022 were
purchased from private owners vs 33% in the first half of 2021) has
enabled it to ensure the depth of its selection available online
for customers, as well as a continuous flow of cars to be
refurbished. The Group maintained a very high NPS, with 68 at
end-March 2022.
Reflecting the widespread increase in vehicle
prices across all segments, the unit sales price for the
refurbished cars sold by Aramis Group during the first half of 2022
came in significantly higher than the first half of 2021, up
+22.3%.
Revenues for the pre-registered cars
segment came to €151.3 million, with a marked contraction
of -27.2% versus the first half of 2021. 7,832 units were sold
during the first half of 2022, with the volume down -44.9% due to
the major difficulties experienced with sourcing this type of
vehicle, linked to the major disruption affecting production lines
for new cars. Prices also show strong growth, achieving a unit
average increase of +32.0% compared with the first half of
2021.
B2B – sales of cars to professional customers
(11% of revenues)
Revenues for the B2B segment totaled €99.5
million during the first half of 2022, driven by very strong growth
of +97.3% pro forma in relation to the first half of 2021 and
+173.3% on a reported basis. This growth reflects the increase in
prices and in the sourcing of vehicles from private owners, some of
which are resold to professionals (mainly vehicles over eight years
old or 150,000 km).
Services (6% of
revenues)
Lastly, services generated €46.7 million of
revenues during the first half of 2022, up +46.8% pro forma
compared with the first half of 2021 and +87.9% on a reported
basis. The penetration rate for financing solutions maintained its
positive trend, while Aramis Group continued to further strengthen
its range of services, particularly through extended warranties.
The Group intends to continue ramping up its innovations in terms
of services, which represent one of the three pillars from its
ambitious growth strategy.
Analysis of revenues by
country
France (41% of revenues)
Revenues for the first half of 2022 are up
+19.0% compared with the first half of 2021 to €359.2 million. This
robust trend reflects an excellent performance on the refurbished
vehicle segment, with its volumes sold up +47% from the first half
of 2021 and nearly offsetting the contraction in volumes by around
half over the same period for pre-registered vehicles, a segment
that Aramis Group has historically had strong exposure to in this
geography. The change in the average unit sales price also
contributed to revenue growth. In terms of refurbishment, the Group
is able to capitalize on the major in-house capacity in place at
its Donzère site, which will be joined very soon by the Nemours
site, where it will inaugurate its second refurbishing center in
France in June. In terms of sourcing, the number of vehicles
purchased from private owners virtually doubled during the first
half of 2022 compared with the first half of 2021, illustrating the
flexibility offered by the Group’s multi-channel sourcing.
Belgium (13% of revenues)
2022 first-half revenues are up +34.0% from the
first half of 2021 to €116.4 million. Refurbished vehicle sales are
up +250% compared with the first half of 2021, clearly more than
offsetting the contraction in pre-registered vehicle ones, a
segment that Aramis Group has also historically had strong exposure
to in Belgium. This very strong performance was achieved thanks to
the work of the Belgian teams, ramping up the Antwerp refurbishing
center following its inauguration in November 2021, as well as the
French and Group teams, who have been working for several months to
integrate inventory between the two countries. In 2019, Aramis
Group sold less than 10% of the refurbished cars in Belgium,
compared with more than 50% today. This trend is also supported by
the sourcing of used vehicles from private owners, tripling during
the first half of 2022 compared with the first half of 2021. An
increase was also recorded in the average unit sales price.
Spain (22% of revenues)
Revenues for the first half of 2022 totaled
€187.0 million, a very significant increase of +138.0% versus the
same period in 2021. The volumes of refurbished vehicles sold
increased by around +75%. The higher average unit sales price
achieved was also a major factor behind this performance. The
number of vehicles acquired from private owners was multiplied by
nearly 7x compared with the first half of 2021. Aramis Group’s
business in Spain has virtually zero exposure to the pre-registered
vehicle segment.
United Kingdom (24% of revenues)
Revenues for the first half of 2022 reached
€210.0 million, up +68.8% on a pro forma basis compared with the
first half of 2021. The refurbished vehicle volumes sold rose +30%,
with the increase in the unit sales price making a similar
contribution to growth. Sourcing from private owners was multiplied
by nearly 2.5x. For reference, Aramis Group did not sell any
pre-registered vehicles in the UK.
INCOME
STATEMENT
The income statement for the period highlights
three key developments: 1/ strong consolidated revenues growth,
despite the slowdown in the pre-registered vehicle segment, 2/ the
excellent level of the gross profit generated per unit of vehicle
sold, highlighting the robust features of the Company’s vertically
integrated business model, 3/ a proactive increase in SG&A
costs to enable Aramis Group to continue moving forward with its
roadmap for very strong growth in its volumes over the coming
years.

Gross margin
For the first half of 2022, the gross margin
came to €95.2 million, up +13.1% pro forma compared with the first
half of 2021. This change is linked to the increase in the volumes
of refurbished vehicles sold, as well as the growing penetration
rate in services. The gross profit per unit generated per B2C
vehicle sold (GPU), was €2,311, in line with the first half of 2021
(€2,358) and the full-year figure for FY 2021 (€2,292), on a pro
forma basis.
This is significantly higher than the level
recorded by its main European peers and reflects Aramis Group’s
operational expertise, built up over the past 21 years since it was
founded, while effectively commanding all the links in the value
chain thanks to its vertically integrated business model, which is
unique in Europe.
Adjusted EBITDA
For the first half of 2022, adjusted EBITDA came
to €2.9 million, compared with €18.3 million in the first half of
2021. The contraction compared with the same period in 2021 factors
in the absorption of SG&A costs being less effective than
expected due to the Group’s overall activity in terms of volumes -
and therefore its overall gross profit in euros - coming in lower
than expected, particularly in France, with the Group’s
pre-registered vehicle sales significantly affected by the shortage
of new cars as explained previously.
Sales, general and administrative (SG&A)
costs totaled €92.4 million for the first half of 2022, up +40.2%
pro forma compared with the first half of 2021, and +12.4% versus
the second half of 2021.
This amount includes €21.2 million of marketing
costs, up +53.9% pro forma from the first half of 2021 and +16.6%
compared with the second half of 2021. As already announced, Aramis
Group maintained its marketing investments, continuing to ramp up
its efforts to generate traffic with a view to both boosting its
online sales and promoting its offer to buy vehicles from private
customers. The Group also continued to invest in its brands.
Labor costs came to €42.6 million, up +42.1% pro
forma from the first half of 2021 and +13.0% compared with the
second half of 2021. For reference, in 2021, Aramis Group began
consolidating its teams in order to put in place the capacity
needed to deliver an always more efficient and effective response
to the demand from European customers for quality vehicles,
enabling it to continue to generate very strong growth in its
volumes over the coming years. Since its IPO mid-2021, the Group
has also further strengthened several of its corporate departments,
focusing in particular on compliance, structuring and control.
As for delivery costs, they amounted to €13.6
million, up +15.5% pro forma from the first half of 2021 and down
-2.9% compared with the second half of 2021.
Lastly, other SG&A represent €14.9 million,
up +44.0% pro forma from the first half of 2021 and +21.7% compared
with the second half of 2021.
Operating income
Operating income for the first half of 2022
totaled -€17.9 million. This amount includes €8.7 million of
personnel expenses relating to acquisitions, €1.3 million of
personnel expenses relating to share-based payments, €0.8 million
of transaction-related costs and €10.1 million of depreciation
charges.
Net profit (loss)
The net loss for the first half of 2022 came to
-€20.3 million. It includes -€1.6 million of financial income and
expenses and a -€0.8 million tax expense.
CASH FLOW AND
FINANCIAL STRUCTURE
The Group’s balance sheet includes virtually
zero debt. Cash consumption for the first half of 2022 is linked
primarily to building up the inventory of vehicles to be sold, as
well as investments in new refurbishing capacity and the Group’s
digital ecosystem.

Inventory represented €264.6 million at March
31, 2022. This €90.7 million increase compared with September 30,
2021 reflects three factors: 1/ the widespread price inflation seen
across all vehicle segments (for 25%); 2/ a mix effect linked to
higher exposure to refurbished vehicles than previously for the
Group’s business (for 58%); 3/ a proactive approach to build up
surplus inventory to protect the Group against potential sourcing
difficulties (for 17%). In a supply-based business like Aramis
Group’s activity, this increase in inventory is making it possible
to support the strong growth in business, offering an increasingly
wide and diversified selection for European consumers looking to
acquire used cars. The level of operating working capital
requirements at March 31, 2022 represents 48 days of revenues based
on the last rolling 12-month reported revenues.

operational cash consumption linked to the change in operating
working capital requirements for -€86.0 million, as well as the
acquisition of fixed assets for -€12.1 million, corresponding
primarily to the Group’s investments in its new refurbishing
centers and its technological platform.
GOVERNANCE
CHANGES AT CLICARS
On April 4, 2022, Aramis Group announced certain
changes to the leadership team of Clicars, its Spanish business
unit.
José Carlos del Valle, 37, was appointed CEO of
Clicars. With extensive experience in e-commerce and logistics,
working for Amazon in particular, as well as one and a half years
as Sales Director for Clicars, and an MBA from Harvard Business
School, he will have a mission to consolidate the company’s roadmap
for strong growth. To achieve this, he will be supported by a
strong team of professionals, combining Clicars’ longstanding staff
with the high-level profiles recruited recently.
This change has been made in connection with
Clicars’ two founders, Carlos Rivera and Pablo Fernandez, selling
their remaining minority interest in this company’s capital. As
stipulated in the shareholder agreement signed between Aramis Group
and Clicars’ co-founders in 2017, and the agreement from April 19,
2021, under which the Company and the two co-founders agreed for
the put and call options to be exercised within 90 days of March
31, 2022, they will sell their remaining interest in Clicars and
will soon leave the Group.
Following this operation, Aramis Group will hold
100% of the capital and voting rights of Clicars. This company was
already fully consolidated in the Group’s accounts. Its governance
will evolve to reflect the new shareholding structure.
The development objectives and priorities for
Clicars, as for all of the Aramis Group business units, will remain
unchanged: selling a growing number of refurbished vehicles across
Europe, guided primarily by the commitment to providing the best
possible service for customers, capitalizing on the teams’
dedication and engagement, the Group’s technological and industrial
know-how, and its strong position at the heart of a circular
economy approach.
OUTLOOK
In view of the size of the refurbished vehicle
market, its significant fragmentation in all European countries,
and Aramis Group’s very strong value proposition, the Group still
has considerable potential for market share gains. Aramis Group
will therefore continue to focus the majority of its resources on
its strategy launched in 2019 for acceleration on this segment,
which represented more than 80% of its B2C volumes during the first
half of 2022.
Alongside this, considering the difficulties
faced by auto manufacturers to normalize their production, the
pre-registered vehicle segment is not expected to see any tangible
improvement over the coming months.
The second part of 2022 will be marked in
particular by the opening of two new refurbishing centers in
Nemours (France) and Goole (UK). Following these openings, Aramis
Group will own and operate six refurbishing centers, with an annual
refurbishing capacity of 132,000 vehicles at end-2023. They will
enable it to continue to provide its European customers with very
high-quality refurbished vehicles at competitive prices and
delivered in record time, and consolidate its leading positions in
terms of its in-house capacity for industrial-scale refurbishing,
its innovations, its local job creation and its commitment to a
more sustainable development.
Aramis Group is confirming its full-year
objectives for 2022 as revised on April 19:
-
Total revenues of over €1.7 billion;
-
Growth of over +45% in refurbished car volumes;
-
Positive EBITDA.
These full-year objectives are like-for-like and
do not include any assumption for a further significant
deterioration in automotive market conditions or the current
geopolitical situation.
Aramis Group also reconfirm the medium and
long-term ambitions set out at the time of its IPO, aiming to
generate, on a like-for-like basis, at least €3 billion of revenues
and a 3% adjusted EBITDA margin by 2025, and then at least €6
billion of revenues and an 8% adjusted EBITDA margin by 2030.
