Global Blue’s CEO, Jacques Stern, commented: “We are pleased to report a strong 9M performance with 20% revenue growth, in line with Sales-in-Store growth. Once again, we have significantly outperformed the luxury market thanks to our unique exposure to high net worth and affluent shoppers. “This strong growth, combined with our high operating leverage, led to a 34% increase in Adjusted EBITDA and a 4.2pt increase in margin, resulting in LTM Adjusted EBITDA rising to €188 million, a €24 million improvement over the last three quarters. “Given this strong performance, we expect to achieve towards the top half of our financial guidance for FY24/25 Adjusted EBITDA of €185 - 205 million. “Furthermore, on February 18, 2025, we reached a significant milestone in our journey when we announced the acquisition of Global Blue by Shift4. The transaction consideration equates to a ~$2.5 billion enterprise value (~13x CY2024 Adjusted EBITDA) and is expected to close by the third quarter of calendar year 2025”.


 
2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Shift4 acquisition Global Blue On February 16, 2025, Global Blue and Shift4 entered into a definitive agreement under which Shfit4, will acquire 100% of Global Blue shares. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Shift4 intends to acquire Global Blue for $7.50 per common share in cash, representing a 15% premium to Global Blue’s closing share price as of February 14, 2025, through a tender offer and a subsequent statutory merger. Shift4 intends to acquire Global Blue’s Series A Preferred shares at $10.00 per preferred share and Series B Preferred shares at $11.81 per preferred share. The acquisition has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of Shift4 and Global Blue, and the board of directors of Global Blue has unanimously resolved that it will recommend to the Global Blue shareholders to accept the tender offer. The transaction is expected to close by the third quarter of calendar year 2025, subject to regulatory approvals, other customary closing conditions, and a minimum tender of 90% of Global Blue’s issued and outstanding common shares and preferred shares on a combined basis. Strong financial performance In Q3 FY24/25, the Group achieved 20% year-over-year revenue growth, to €131 million and 31% year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA growth to €52 million. For 9M FY24/25, this resulted in a 20% year-over-year increase in revenue to €381 million and a 34% year-over-year increase in Adjusted EBITDA to €154 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 40.4% and drop-through of 61%. Furthermore, continued strong cash conversion significantly reduced the net leverage ratio(4) to 2.6x at the end of December 2024, from 3.6x at the end of December 2023, approaching the Group’s long-term target of <2.5x. Repricing of Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility In December 2024, Global Blue successfully allocated the repricing of the Term Loan and Revolving Facility, reducing the interest rate margin on the Term Loan by 50 basis points from 3.75% p.a. to 3.25% p.a. In aggregate, over the last twelve months, Global Blue achieved a 175 basis points reduction in the Term Loan margin to 3.25% p.a. Financial Guidance Reflecting the strong performance in the period, and notwithstanding the additional €5 million of fixed costs to accelerate investments in future growth initiatives, Global Blue reiterated its financial guidance for FY24/25 Adjusted EBITDA of €185 - 205 million and expects to achieve towards the top half of this range.

Tax Free Shopping Solutions delivered revenue of €290.8 million, a 24% year-over-year increase, benefiting from strong progression in Sales-in-Store. Revenue in Continental Europe reached €243.6 million, a 21% year-over-year increase, while revenue in Asia Pacific reached €47.2 million, a 43% year-over-year increase. Payments delivered revenue of €68.8 million, a 12% year-over-year increase, ahead of the 6% growth in Sales-in-Store, driven by the increased margin on treasury gains and pricing evolution. Revenue in FX Solutions reached €33.3 million, a 7% year-over-year increase, while revenue in Acquiring reached €34.3 million, a 17% year-over-year increase, and revenue in the Hospitality Gateway business reached €1.3 million, a 32% year-over- year increase. Post-Purchase Solutions delivered revenue of €21.5 million, a 5% year-over-year increase. Revenue growth was impacted by management’s decision to move away from certain ZigZag carrier contracts. Contribution Given the strong focus on variable cost optimization, the Group delivered a contribution of €297.9 million, a 22% year-over-year increase, and maintained a high level of contribution margin with Tax Free Shopping Solutions at 86%, FX Solutions at 94% and Post-Purchase Solutions at 58%. Adjusted EBITDA The Group delivered Adjusted EBITDA of €153.9 million in 9M FY24/25, a 34% year-over- year increase, reflecting strong revenue growth and the high operating leverage profile of the business. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved by 4.2pts to 40.4%, with a 61% drop- through. Consequently, there has been a continued improvement in the LTM Adjusted EBITDA to €188 million, up from €175 million in the previous quarter.


 
5 Adjusted Profit before Tax The Group delivered Adjusted Profit Before Tax of €73.9 million in 9M FY24/25, a 46% year-over-year increase. The strong growth reflects the increase in Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by an €8.8 million increase in depreciation and amortization, largely attributed to increased capital expenditure in improving technology base over the last two years, and a €6.9 million increase in net finance costs due to higher interest expenses during the period. Cash Flow, Balance Sheet, and Net Debt Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditure increased by €30.5 million year-over-year to €117.3 million. This increase, combined with the normalization in Working Capital, and taking into account lease payments, interest and income tax, contributed to an increase in Free Cash Flow(7) of €24.4 million to €55.3 million vs. €30.9 million in the same period last year. As at December 31, 2024, Group Net Debt(8) decreased to €488.2 million, consisting of Gross Financial Debt of €610.0 million and Cash & Cash Equivalents of €121.8 million, resulting in a net leverage ratio of 2.6x, a significant improvement from 3.6x at December 31, 2023. Furthermore, in December 2024, the Group successfully allocated the repricing of the Term Loan and Revolving Facility, reducing the interest rate margin on the Term Loan by 50 basis points from 3.75% p.a. to 3.25% p.a. In aggregate, over the last twelve months, Global Blue achieved a 175 basis points reduction in the Term Loan margin to 3.25% p.a. FINANCIAL GUIDANCE Reflecting the strong performance in the period, and notwithstanding the additional €5 million of fixed costs to accelerate investments in future growth initiatives, Global Blue has reiterated its financial guidance for FY24/25 Adjusted EBITDA of €185 - 205 million and expects to achieve towards the top half of this range.

In addition, these non-IFRS financial measures may differ from non-IFRS financial measures with comparable names used by other companies. Note however, that to the extent forward-looking non-IFRS financial measures are provided herein, they are not reconciled to comparable historic IFRS measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. Long-Term Targets: This Presentation contains various long-term targets. These long-term targets are not projections, and instead are forward-looking goals that are subject to significant, business, economic, regulatory and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, long-term targets many of which are beyond the control of the Company and its management, and are based upon assumptions with respect to future decisions, which are subject to change. Actual results will vary and those variations may be material. For discussions of some of the important factors that could cause these variations, please consult the “Risk factors” section of the prospectus supplement relating to the offering. Nothing in this presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that these goals and targets will be achieved and the Company undertakes no duty to update these goals and targets.
