The retail channel grew by more than a third on the same period of the previous year - far exceeding pre-pandemiclevels - despite continued lock-downsin China, where more than 20% of our network is concentrated, and difficulties in countries where retail is most impacted by this situation - mainly Hong Kong and Taiwan.

already been launched, such as the carbon neutral sneaker developed in collaboration with ACBC and the stroller with Leclerc, while others are in the pipeline for the coming months. The transition to international accounting standards is another step in this direction, which underscores the determination and quality of the company's management team and all our employees."

Consolidated Revenues Overview

Total consolidated revenues of Euro 22.6 million are reported for H1 2022, up 12% at current exchange rates (+11% at like-for-like exchange rates) on Euro 20.2 million for H1 2021.

Revenues by Distribution Channel

Revenues by distribution channel saw major growth on the retail channels, +34% and +33% respectively at current exchange rates and like-for-like exchange rates. This performance reflects the Group's growth strategy focused on retail channel development, whose share of consolidated revenues rose from 29% in H1 2021 to 35%, through the recovery of volumes after the difficulties resulting from the closures and lock-down of the COVID period, the effects of which continued to significantly impact results in some countries, particularly China, in the first half of 2022.

Channel sales outperformed H1 2019 by 10%.

The direct online channel remained at essentially the same level as the first half of last year, in which it grew 140% over H1 2020. The figure is strong however considering the disruption of online sales in the countries affected by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which had a significant share of the business in the channel. The Group is continuing to implement a geo-localised direct online project in Russia, which is expected to be operational as early as the coming months.

Group Consolidated Income Statement Overview

Monnalisa's Reported EBITDA for H1 2022 was approx. Euro 2.07 million, a 9% revenue margin. This result mainly stemmed from growth on the retail and online channels, which feature high margins.

This figure was impacted by a number of non-recurring costs in H1 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for H1 2022 was Euro 2.26 million. The adjustments on reported EBITDA concern the extraordinary costs related to non-recurring events in H1 2022 and the result of a number of stores opened in the last 12 months and therefore not yet at break-even.

The consolidated net loss was Euro 1.5 million, compared to Euro 1.6 million in H1 2021.

Group consolidated equity and financial overview

Net working capital at the end of the quarter decreased 10.8% to Euro 15.5 million, from Euro 17.3 million at June 30, 2021. Inventories in particular decreased 5% in the same period.

Operating activities generated cash of Euro 3.4 million.
