Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, November 5, 2020. - Betterware de Mexico S.A.B. de C.V. (“Betterware” or the “Company”), announced today its consolidated financial results for the third quarter 2020. The figures presented in this report are expressed in nominal Mexican Pesos (Ps.) unless otherwise noted, are un-audited, prepared in accordance with IFRS and may include minor differences due to rounding.

We are very pleased with our record third quarter results, highlighted by strong sales growth, an increase in Adjusted EBITDA and an acceleration in the number of distributors and associates. We are very proud of our team’s ability to adapt, meet the increased demand, and continue to serve our customers in a changing operating environment, and their hard work has enabled our strong third quarter performance. Amidst a pandemic backdrop, our recent results demonstrate that our unique technology driven platform that we’ve developed over the last five years is well positioned to disrupt the consumer products industry and to continue reaching more homes as we focus on delivering sustainable long-term growth.

We made strong progress against our four key strategic pillars this quarter which are centered on market penetration, geographic expansion, category expansion and business intelligence and technology investments. Our disciplined execution of these strategies combined with strong innovation and an advantageous direct to consumer operating model continues to strengthen our competitive positioning as the number one home solutions brand in Mexico. We believe these strategies, along with our continued focus on managing expenses and working capital, have us poised to capitalize on the increased demand we are seeing for our products.

Net revenues increased 199% to Ps. 2,271M from Ps. 759M in 3Q19. This increase was driven by a 186% increase in distributors and a 179% increase in associates fueling an increase in volume of 30M units to 42.2M units in 3Q20.

Contributing to the triple digit sales growth was the successful implementation of the Company’s commercial strategies and technological advancements that have been developed over five years. As a result, the Company not only introduced successful innovation but also was able to serve its distribution network seamlessly in a work-from-home environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the first nine months of 2020, net revenues increased 103% to Ps. 4,659M, compared to Ps. 2,294M of the same period of 2019. This growth was driven by the increase in distributors and associates which led to a 111% increase in volume to 84.3M units, compared to 40M units of the same period of 2019.

Gross margin was 54.6% in 3Q20 as compared to 59.9% in 3Q19. The decline in 3Q20 was driven by a (i) 320 basis points from the depreciation of the Mexican peso compared to the U.S. dollar, which negatively impacted product costs purchased in US dollars and (ii) 210 basis point increase in air freight costs, which were incurred in to meet the surge in demand.

For the first nine months of the year, gross margin was 54.0%, compared to 58.9% in the same period of 2019 mainly due to (i) 320 basis points from the depreciation of the Mexican peso compared to the U.S. dollar, which negatively impacted product costs purchased in US dollars and (ii) 170 basis points due to the significant increase air freight to meet the surge in demand.

For the quarter, Betterware’s EBITDA increased 234% Year-on-Year to Ps. 730M, compared to 219M in 3Q19 and EBITDA margin expanded 3.3 pp to 32.2% due to the increase on operational leverage. In the first nine months of 2020 EBITDA increased by 118%, and the EBITDA margin was 29.1%.

During 3Q20, the Company´s net income decreased -187.2% to Ps. -126M, relative to 3Q19. Net income includes non-cash expense of Ps. 585M related to the valuation of warrants (see below accounting for warrants). Without considering this impact, which does not affect the Company’s cash flows or operating income, the Company´s net income during 3Q20 would have increased 214.7% to Ps. 456M, relative to 3Q19.

The Company’s effective income tax rate is also impacted by the fair value adjustment of the warrants, which is recorded in profit and loss in accordance with IFRS but is excluded for purposes of determining the income tax for the period.

For the first nine months of the year earnings per share decreased to Ps. 8.35, compared to Ps. 11.02 of the same period last year. The decrease is also related to the accounting of warrants. Without considering this impact, which does not affect the Company’s cash flows or operating income, the Company´s earnings per share for the nine months, would have increased to Ps. 25.24, compared to Ps. 11.02 of the same periods last year.

For accounting purposes and in accordance with IFRS, the warrants meet the definition of a derivative financial instrument as they represent a written put option that gives the holders of the warrants the right to exchange them for the Company’s shares at a fixed price. Although the warrants will be exchanged for the Company’s shares based on the terms of the warrant agreement, IFRS requires the derivative financial instrument to be classified as a liability given that the functional currency of the Company (MXN) differs from the strike-price of the warrants, which is fixed in USD. Changes in the fair value of the liability are presented in the profit and loss statement under the heading “Changes in fair value of warrants”.

IFRS requires the fair value of the warrants to be recorded in profit or loss of the period, however the Company’s operating income and the financial position is not impacted. For purposes of the Company’s EBITDA, the changes in the fair value of the liability are excluded as they represent non-cash charges.

When the warrants are exchanged for the Company’s shares, the obligation associated with the liability will be extinguished with a corresponding increase in equity. Once the warrants have been redeemed, the net impact in the Company’s equity is zero as the increase in their fair value is recorded in the profit and loss statement (reducing retained earnings), offset by the equivalent increase in equity as a result of the issuance of shares.

As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company has recognized the following impacts associated with the warrants:

Subsequent to September 30, 2020 during the month of October 2020, 2,058,648 warrants have been redeemed for the Company’s shares at a proportion of .37 warrants/share. The total impact to the Company’s income statement resulting from the valuation of the warrants was a loss of Ps. 174.7M, offset by an increase in equity as a result of the issuance of shares upon the exchange of warrants for shares of Ps. 405.2M. Redemption of the outstanding warrants (approximately 1.5 million) will be completed by November 9 resulting in the cancelation of the liability for warrants and an increase in equity associated with the issuance of the Company´s shares.

The Company’s financial position remained strong during the third quarter, and included a reduction in leverage and increased liquidity due to the outstanding operating results recorded during the quarter and nine months of 2020.

Cash and equivalents increased Ps. 1,002M, or 656% from Ps. 153M in 2019 to Ps. 1,155M September 2020, primarily due to the cash received from increased sales. Accounts payable to suppliers increased Ps. 1,901M or 420% from Ps. 452M in 2019 to Ps. 2,353M in 2020, due to additional purchases in order to support the increase in sales. This growth is higher than the increase in inventory due to: (i) supplier credit terms of 120 days and (ii) inventory turnover of 87 days due to the accelerated growth in sales.

At quarter end, Betterware’s leverage ratio was -0.4x times. During Q2, the Company chose to pre-pay its debt for Ps. 495M. This resulted in Ps. 39.6M of pre-payment penalty costs which are included within the interest expense line on the consolidated income statements.

The fair value of the warrants as of September 30, 2020 is Ps. 517.8M, which increased as their value is directly proportional to the increase in the Company’s share price during the quarter.

Betterware has a proven track record of performance and a clear and executable growth plan, which includes expansion in current geographies and categories, as well as the addition of new markets and product extensions all supported by a robust infrastructure deeply rooted in business intelligence. The Company is pleased to be in a position to raise its EBITDA expectations for fiscal year 2020, which are appropriately tempered due to the uncertainty of market conditions during the pandemic. With this in mind, the Company is raising its expectation for FY2020 EBITDA to a range between Ps. 1,900 and Ps. 2,100, up from its previous guidance of Ps. 1,450M, and now expects EBITDA margin to be between 26.2% to 28.9%.

In recognition of the Company’s ability to generate strong cash flow after investment, its Board of Directors has proposed to pay a Ps. 330M dividend to shareholders. The dividend is subject to approval at the next Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting to be held on November 9, 2020.

The Company expects to pay a dividend associated with its year-end results that will be submitted to the Board of Directors for approval as the loss generated by the fair value of the warrants during the year (impacting retained earnings) will be offset by a corresponding increase in equity associated with the issuance of shares.
