Italy significantly increased its sales vs. last year. The performance is driven by our leading brands as secondary brands were more impacted by tougher market conditions.

Network Sales 4.4% € 334.2m € 320.0m Reported EBITDA 1.3% € 116.7m € 118.3m 36.5% (1.1)pp 35.4% Free Cash Flow and leverage 25.5% € 149.5m € 119.1m n.c. 2.76x Q1 2023 Q1 2024 Increase in network sales of +4.4% with €334.2m in Q1 2024 compared to €320.0m in Q1 2023 (of which €2.1m network sales in Agatha China in Q1 2024 compared to none in Q1 2023 as the entities were not yet consolidated). This good performance confirms the ongoing growth of the group across the board resulting from all the group projects to develop strong and well- known brands (+1.9% LFL growth) despite a tougher market environment. Q1 2023 Q1 2024 EBITDA increased by €1.5m compared to Q1 2023, due to the increase in network sales across the board, resulting from the Group's strategy to limit price increases to secure volume growth, not offset by the increase in the cost of goods sold, personnel expenses and energy costs. Q1 2023 Q1 2024 Free Cash Flow generation in Q1 2024 increased by €30.4m as compared to Q1 2023 mainly due to a more favorable change in Working Capital mainly related to the sale of €14m physical gold inventory for hedging purposes, not offset by higher CAPEX with a higher level of stores' openings. Leverage as of December 31, 2023 is 2.76x, compared to 3.14x as of September 30, 2023.

(798.9) 2.76x THOM Q1 2024 Results - Investor presentation March 15, 2024 274.4 42.7 Increase in Reported EBITDA The increase by €1.5m was mainly due to the increase in network sales across the board, resulting from the Group's strategy to develop the awareness of its brands, digitalize our distribution (e-commerce network sales increased by +9% on a LFL basis in Q1 2024) and develop services to our customers not offset by the impact of inflation on our cost base. Reported EBITDA rate remains at a high level of 35.4% in Q1 2024. The 1.1pp decrease in Reported EBITDA rate mainly derives from GM rate (- 0.4pp) and from higher energy costs (-0.4pp). GM Rate decreased from 69.7% to 69.3% due to the inflation of manufacturing and raw materials' costs. We have started to implement price increases by waves in the fiscal year 2024 with limited effects on the 3-month period ended December 31 as this repricing concern the new arrivals (which are labelled with the new prices). Free Cash Flow conversion rate of 126.5% in Q1 2024, higher by 24.5pp compared to 102% in Q1 2023 benefitted from a more positive change in working capital in Q1 2024 resulting from a sale of gold for 14m€ for hedging purposes and from the increase in suppliers' liability as the deliveries of goods were anticipated in Q1 2023 to secure the procurement of products for the Christmas season. We returned to a more normative seasonality pattern of purchases for Christmas vs. Q1 2023. In LTM Dec23, Free Cash Flow conversion rate reached 67.2%. Net Financial Debt totalled €798.9m as of December 31, 2023 (net financial debt for leverage calculation), i.e. a leverage of 2.76x based on Adjusted EBITDA, a decrease of 0.38x compared to September 30, 2023. p.14#15Financial Review - Network Sales Bridge THOM Q1 2024 Results - Investor presentation March 15, 2024 Overall increase in sales across countries and distribution channels, despite challenging market conditions.

The negative impact of the sales of precious metal is 0.2% on the gross margin. p.16#17Financial Review -- Reported EBITDA Bridge THOM Q1 2024 Results - Investor presentation March 15, 2024 EBITDA increased in Q1 2024 by €1.5m (or +1.3%) driven by the continuous development of LFL network sales.

As a percentage of network sales, the network contribution decreased by 1.0 percentage point from 46.6% in Q1 2023 to 45.6% in Q1 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in GM rate of -0.4pps and to higher energy costs for -0.4pp (energy prices will benefit from a new contract with more favorable conditions starting 1st January 2024). We have started to implement selling price increases in 1Q 2024, by waves, which will progressively materialize. However, the impact in 1Q 2024 is limited (only the new arrivals are labelled with the new prices). Indirect costs totaled €34.5m in Q1 2024, an increase of €1.7m, or 5.1%, from €32.9m in Q1 2023 mainly due to higher IT costs to support the development of services to our customers. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to €289.1m, i.e. 29.5% of network sales, or €201.2m pre- IFRS 16, i.e. 20.5% of network sales, compared to €289.8m in FY 23, i.e. 30%, or €203.3m pre-IFRS16, i.e. 21%. LTM adjusted EBITDA is therefore fairly stable in absolute value and in percentage of network sales, in an inflationary context impacting the spending power of our customers, demonstrating the resilience of the Group.

Depreciation of right-of-use assets for Q1 2024 and Q1 2023 amounted to €(19.3)m and €(18.2)m, respectively, with the increase mainly due to new or renewed leases in France and Italy. Cost of net financial debt totaled €(10.8)m in Q1 2024, an increase of €(0.7)m, from €(10.1)m in Q1 2023. The increase is mainly attributable to a €(0.6)m (€(1.9)m net of €1.3m hedge income from an interest rate mark-to- market derivative instrument) net increase in the FRN interests due to the increase of the EURIBOR rate and a €(0.2)m increase in the interest expense relating to RCF, which was drawn for a longer time in Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023. Other financial income and expenses for €(6.9)m in Q1 2024, compared to €(7.4)m in Q1 2023 are mainly composed of lease interest expenses and foreign exchange loss. Income tax totaled €(22.3)m in Q1 2024, an increase of €(0.7)m, from €(21.6)m in Q1 2023. This increase was mainly due to a €(2.6)m increase in current income tax expense not offset by a €1.4m decrease in deferred tax losses and a €0.6m decrease in CVAE. p.19#20Financial Review - Adjusted Free Cash Flow Adjusted Free Cash Flow reached €204.3m with a conversion rate of 70.7% in LTM ended December 31, 2023.

The main drivers of the seasonality of our free cash flows are Reported EBITDA, changes in working capital (mainly trade payables and, to a lesser extent, inventories) and capital expenditure, consisting of opening capital expenditure, maintenance capital expenditure and refurbishment capital expenditure. Free cash flow in Q1 2024 increased by €30.5m mainly due to the combination of (i) higher sale of Gold inventory in Q1 2024, compared to Q1 2023 mainly due to our hedging policy with specifically high level of physical gold sold and (ii) by anticipation of purchases the Christmas season in 2022 to secure procurement which was not renewed in 2023, resulting in a higher balance of suppliers as of December 31, 2023.

(i) refurbishment [and expansion] capital expenditure, (ii) change in working capital of fixed assets, (iii) sales of property (d) Corresponds to a targeted investment made in June 2023 in a physical gold inventory for hedging purposes, with the inventory subsequently being resold in October and November 2023 (no such investments were made in Q1 2024) (e) Cash impact of non-recurring subsidies and suppliers' credit notes received by the Group, as compensation for operating losses incurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic related to prior years (i.e., the financial years ended September 30, 2020 and 2021). Goldstory Adjusted Free Cash Flow corresponds to Free Cash Flow restated for (i) Refurbishment and opening Capital Expenditure for €20.9m in LTM Dec23, (ii) Cash impact of non-recurring subsidies and suppliers' credit notes received by the Group for €0.8m in LTM Dec23, and (iii) €0.3m of change in working capital and sales of property. Adjusted Free Cash Flow reached €204.3m in LTM Dec2023, i.e. 70.7% as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA. THOM Q1 2024 Results - Investor presentation March 15, 2024 p.20#21Financial Review - Working Capital and CAPEX The €27.8m variation in change in working capital between Q1 2024 and Q1 2023 derived from (i) higher sales of gold for hedging purposes and (ii) the return to a more normative seasonality pattern of purchases for Christmas 2023 (we anticipated purchases to secure Christmas 2022 procurement).

The increase in suppliers' liability is mainly due to mainly explained by an anticipation of purchases in the three-month period ended December 31, 2022 to secure the procurement of products for Christmas. We have not renewed this anticipation for Christmas 2023 and returned to a more normative seasonality of purchases, resulting in a higher balance of suppliers as of December 31, 2023. p.21#22Financial Review - Working Capital and CAPEX The increase in investing activities in Q1 2024 of €(0.8)m, of which €(2.8)m of discretionary capital expenditure, vs. Q1 2023, is mainly related to the increase in the number of openings of new stores, not offset by the decrease in investment in acquisition of subsidiary due to the acquisition of Agatha for €3.0m in Q1 2023.

The €7.7m increase is mostly explained by the opening of 7 new stores in Q1 2024. Other loans Other loans correspond mainly to state guaranteed loans ("PGE") granted to Agatha during the Covid-19 pandemic for €4.5m. p.23#24Financial Review We expect inflation to predominantly affect the Gross Margin, with an estimated impact of approximately -1pp in FY24. Conversely, the impact of inflation on other costs is anticipated to be limited. Price increases, implemented progressively in waves throughout FY24, are projected to fully materialize in FY25. Based on Gold (€63/gram), USD (1.09 USD/EUR), the impact of inflation is expected to be c. -1.0pp GM rate. COGS (expected overall impact of c. -1.0pp GM rate) Gold: Due to an efficient coverage and Group ability to purchase gold in stores the impact of inflation on Gold is expected to be limited. USD: The Group is fully hedged for the 18 next months at a rate close to the FY23 rate. Goods The full year effect of Inflation on other metals (silver, rhodium, platinum) is expected to impact our costs, as well as inflation on manufacturing costs. Staff costs (expected decrease as a percentage of sales): The group has had a proactive salary / bonuses increase policy to retain and motivate its employees. The know how and the quality of our employees are key to continue the strong development of our brands. The development of sales and the optimization of the staff presence in stores is expected to allow the Group to decrease the weight of staff costs as a percentage of sales. Energy costs (+0.4pps as a percentage of sales): Energy costs are very limited as most of our stores are equipped with led lamps in the frame of our CSR policy. The energy inflation in mainly temporary as based on 2024 and 2025 hedging the adverse impact in FY23 will revert by c. €4m. Transportation costs (no significant impact): The products we sell are space saving and lightweight, we source most of our products from Europe and when they are sourced from outside Europe, they are flown in.

Focus on gains of market shares in our main geographies We have decided in FY23 to limit our selling price increases to benefit from gain in market shares with results in line with expectation (Significant increase in volumes, increase in Gross Margin in Value). Nevertheless, the Group has continued to test opportunistic price increases with encouraging results in Belgium and then decided over FY24 to progressively implement price increases in France in waves throughout FY24 that are projected to fully materialize in FY25.
