Farfetch Limited (NYSE: FTCH), the leading global technology platform
for the luxury fashion industry, today reported financial results for
the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
José Neves, Farfetch Founder, CEO and Co-Chair said: “Farfetch enjoyed
excellent growth in first quarter 2019, with Platform GMV rising 44% to
$415 million, or approximately 50% growth on a constant currency basis.
This outpaced both our expectations and, by some distance, growth in the
online personal luxury goods sector as we continued to gain market share.
In addition to strong operational execution, we reached some important
strategic milestones that position us for continued strong growth in
2020 and beyond. This included launching the Augmented Retail pilot in
Chanel’s new Paris flagship boutique at 19 Rue Cambon. We are also
thrilled to be entering the sneaker resale market, and launching
Farfetch on JD.com’s platform through our recent acquisitions of Stadium
Goods and Toplife, both of which are on pace to be operationally
integrated ahead of schedule.
Overall, we are very well-positioned to continue capturing share of the
significant opportunity in the online personal luxury goods market.”
Elliot Jordan, CFO of Farfetch, said: “I am very pleased with the strong
start we have made to the year, with the first quarter 2019 results
demonstrating a well-executed quarter. Our rapid growth, which far
exceeds the growth of the online luxury industry, enables our continued
investment in both nearer-term customer engagement and longer-term
platform development, underpinning our continued future growth.
Moreover, we also delivered Adjusted EBITDA margin in line with
expectations.”

First Quarter 2019 Results Summary
Gross Merchandise Value and Platform GMV
Gross Merchandise Value (“GMV”) increased by $126.6 million from $292.7
million to $419.3 million in first quarter 2019, representing
year-over-year growth of 43.2%. Platform GMV increased by $126.1 million
from $288.7 million to $414.7 million, representing year-over-year
growth of 43.7%. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign exchange
rates, Platform GMV would have increased by approximately 50%.
The increases in GMV and Platform GMV were primarily driven by an
increase of 64.3% in Active Consumers to 1.7 million, and increases in
average number of orders per Active Consumer and total number of orders
on the Farfetch Marketplace. Other contributing factors include an
increase in the number of clients supported by our white-label solution,
growth in transactions through these managed websites, and the addition
of Stadium Goods, our sneaker and streetwear marketplace.
Revenue
Revenue increased by $48.4 million year-over-year from $125.6 million in
first quarter 2018 to $174.1 million in first quarter 2019, representing
growth of 38.6%. The increase was primarily driven by 43.2% growth in
Platform Services Revenue to $141.8 million, 22.9% growth in Platform
Fulfilment Revenue to $27.7 million and 12.8% growth in In-Store Revenue
to $4.5 million.
The increase in Platform Services Revenue was driven by 43.7% growth in
Platform GMV, partially offset by lower Third-Party Take Rate; as well
as growth in first-party GMV, which is included in Platform Services
Revenue at 100% of the GMV.
Platform Fulfillment Revenue is derived from the pass-through of
delivery and duties charges incurred by our global logistics solutions.
The growth of Platform Fulfillment Revenue represents the increase
year-over-year of these costs due to the increase in the number of
orders, offset by an increase in the number of orders qualifying for
free-shipping through our customer incentives.

Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue increased by $26.3 million, or 40.9% year-over-year from
$64.4 million in first quarter 2018 to $90.8 million in first quarter
2019. The increase was primarily driven by the increases in delivery,
packaging and transaction processing expenditures incurred as a result
of an increased number of orders as well as an increase in cost of goods
associated with first-party sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses by type (in thousands):
Three months ended March 31, | ||||||||
2018 | 2019 | |||||||
Demand generation expense | $ | 19,363 | $ | 31,423 | ||||
Technology expense | 13,896 | 20,159 | ||||||
Depreciation and amortization | 4,875 | 14,106 | ||||||

Other items | — | 2,493 | ||||||
Selling, general and administrative expense | $ | 96,272 | $ | 168,840 | ||||
First quarter 2019 demand generation expense increased 62.3%
year-over-year to $31.4 million, or 22.2% of Platform Services Revenue.
The increase in spend has contributed to the increased number of orders
and Active Consumers as described above as we continued to invest in
customer acquisition and retention efforts to support our continued
growth in Platform GMV and Platform Services Revenue.
Technology expense, which is primarily related to research and
development and operations of our platform features and services,
increased by $6.3 million, or 45.1%, year-over-year in first quarter
2019, primarily driven by a 28.3% increase in technology staff
headcount, as well as higher software, hosting and infrastructure
expenses, to support the continued growth of the business. We currently
operate three globally distributed data centers, which support the
processing of our growing base of transactions, including one in
Shanghai dedicated to serving our Chinese customers.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $9.2 million or
189.4% year-over-year from $4.9 million to $14.1 million in first
quarter 2019. Amortization expense increased principally due to our
continued technology investment, in which we capitalize qualifying
technology development costs and amortize them over a three-year period,
as well as the additional amortization recognized on intangible assets
acquired in recent acquisitions. The increase in depreciation expense
was driven by the first-time adoption of the new leasing accounting
standard, IFRS 16, on January 1, 2019, whereby $4.3 million of
depreciation related to right-of-use assets was recognized in first
quarter 2019. In first quarter 2018, the comparative expense for
operating leases was included in general and administrative expense.
Share based payments increased by $32.1 million, or 489.5%,
year-over-year in first quarter 2019, primarily due to the fair value
re-measurement of our cash-settled share based payment awards and
provision for employment related taxes on share based payment awards.
Other contributing factors include the award of employee incentives
following the Stadium Goods acquisition, key-contributor grants as part
of the Farfetch annual compensation scheme as well as employment tax
expenses related to option exercises.
General and administrative expense increased by $10.4 million, or 20.1%,
year-over-year in first quarter 2019, primarily driven by a 29.8%
increase in non-technology headcount across a number of areas to support
the expansion of the business. General and administrative costs as a
percentage of Adjusted Revenue decreased from 50.0% in first quarter
2018 to 42.3% in first quarter 2019, reflecting improved efficiency of
our semi-variable and fixed costs as well as the impact of adopting IFRS
16 in first quarter 2019, as described above.
Other items comprises $2.5 million of acquisition-related expenses.
There were no such items in first quarter 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA loss increased by $6.6 million, or 27.8%, year-over-year
in first quarter 2019, to $30.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA Margin improved
from (22.9%) to (20.7%) over the same period, primarily due to the
impact of adopting IFRS 16 in first quarter 2019, as described above.
Loss After Tax
Loss after tax increased by $58.5 million, or 115.4% year-over-year in
first quarter 2019 to $109.3 million. This was largely driven by a
year-over-year increase in the operating loss from $35.1 million to
$85.5 million combined with an increase in unrealized foreign exchange
losses primarily driven by the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar on the
revaluation of our foreign currency-denominated balances in first
quarter 2019.
Outlook
The following forward-looking statement reflects Farfetch’s expectations
as of May 15, 2019:
For second quarter 2019, Platform GMV is expected to grow approximately
40% – 42% year-over-year, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is expected to be
approximately (19%) – (21%).
For full year 2019, Platform GMV is expected to grow approximately 41%,
and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is expected to be approximately (16%) – (17%).
The expected Adjusted EBITDA Margin for both periods include the
estimated impact from the adoption of IFRS 16, which became effective on
January 1, 2019.

Forward Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements
contained in this release that do not relate to matters of historical
fact should be considered forward-looking statements, including, without
limitation, statements regarding our expected financial performance and
operational performance for the second quarter of 2019 and fiscal year
ending December 31, 2019, as well as statements that include the words
“expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “project,” “forecast,”
“estimate,” “may,” “should,” “anticipate” and similar statements of a
future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are
based on management’s current expectations. These statements are neither
promises nor guarantees, but involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other important factors that may cause actual results,
performance or achievements to be materially different from any future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: purchasers of
luxury products may not choose to shop online in sufficient numbers; our
ability to generate sufficient revenue to be profitable or to generate
positive cash flow on a sustained basis; the volatility and difficulty
in predicting the luxury fashion industry; our reliance on a limited
number of retailers and brands for the supply of products on our
Marketplace; our reliance on retailers and brands to anticipate,
identify and respond quickly to new and changing fashion trends,
consumer preferences and other factors; our reliance on retailers and
brands to make products available to our consumers on our Marketplace
and to set their own prices for such products; fluctuation in foreign
exchange rate; our reliance on information technologies and our ability
to adapt to technological developments; our ability to acquire or retain
consumers and to promote and sustain the Farfetch brand; our ability or
the ability of third parties to protect our sites, networks and systems
against security breaches, or otherwise to protect our confidential
information; our ability to successfully launch and monetize new and
innovative technology; our dependence on highly skilled personnel,
including our senior management, data scientists and technology
professionals, and our ability to hire, retain and motivate qualified
personnel; José Neves, our chief executive officer, has considerable
influence over important corporate matters due to his ownership of us,
and our dual-class voting structure will limit your ability to influence
corporate matters, including a change of control; and the other
important factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our
Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) on March 1, 2019 as such factors may be updated from
time to time in our other filings with the SEC, which are accessible on
the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
In addition, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing
environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for
our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all
factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or
combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially
from those contained in any forward-looking statements that we may make.
In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the
forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this release are
inherently uncertain and may not occur, and actual results could differ
materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the
forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not rely upon
forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. In addition,
the forward-looking statements made in this release relate only to
events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in
this release. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to
update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on
which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.
Revisions to our Operating Metrics Definitions
We previously defined Active Consumers as active consumers on the
Farfetch Marketplace. Following the acquisition of Stadium Goods on
January 4, 2019, which is now included in our consolidated results, we
have multiple marketplaces within our consolidated group. As a result,
Stadium Goods is now included in Active Consumers, and for completeness
we now include BrownsFashion.com, a directly owned and operated site,
within Active Consumers as well. We have revised our previously reported
Active Consumers disclosure to include BrownsFashion.com Active
Consumers for all reported periods.
We also believe it is more useful to present AOV for both Farfetch
Marketplace and Stadium Goods, as they operate at two different price
points. We will present these as separate metrics from the first quarter
of 2019.
In addition, we no longer believe “Number of Orders” on the Farfetch
Marketplace provides a meaningful view of business performance, and we
will not report this metric going forward.
Consolidated Statement of Operations Reclassification
We have revised previously reported revenues and cost of revenues for
each of the first three quarters of 2018 to reflect certain sales
originally reported on a third party basis (i.e. net revenue
presentation), as being on a first party basis (i.e. gross revenue
presentation). These revisions had no impact on gross profit or loss
after tax in those periods, and had no impact on any of our unaudited
condensed consolidated statements of financial position, changes in
equity or cash flows during 2018. The Group has determined that these
revisions are immaterial to the previously reported financial
information, and there is no impact on any previously issued annual
financial statements. There was no impact to other prior periods.
Non-IFRS and Other Financial and Operating Metrics
This release includes certain financial measures and metrics not based
on IFRS, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted
EPS, Adjusted Revenue, Platform Services Revenue, Platform Gross Profit,
Platform Order Contribution, and Platform Order Contribution Margin, as
well as operating metrics, including GMV, Platform GMV, Active Consumers
and Average Order Value.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EPS,
Adjusted Revenue, Platform Services Revenue, Platform Gross Profit,
Platform Order Contribution, and Platform Order Contribution Margin:
-
as measurements of operating performance because they assist us in
comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis, as they
remove the impact of items not directly resulting from our core
operations; -
for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal
annual operating budget and financial projections; -
to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our strategic
initiatives; and -
to evaluate our capacity to fund capital expenditures and expand our
business.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Revenue,
Platform Services Revenue, Platform Gross Profit, Platform Order
Contribution and Platform Order Contribution Margin may not be
comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not
all companies and analysts calculate these measures in the same manner.
We present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EPS,
Adjusted Revenue, Platform Services Revenue, Platform Gross Profit,
Platform Order Contribution and Platform Order Contribution Margin
because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our
performance, and we believe they are frequently used by securities
analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of
companies. Management believes that investors’ understanding of our
performance is enhanced by including these non-IFRS financial measures
as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.
Many investors are interested in understanding the performance of our
business by comparing our results from ongoing operations period over
period and would ordinarily add back non-cash expenses such as
depreciation, amortization and items that are not part of normal
day-to-day operations of our business. By providing these non-IFRS
financial measures, together with reconciliations to IFRS, we believe we
are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results
of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we
are executing our strategic initiatives.
Items excluded from these non-IFRS measures are significant components
in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Revenue and Platform
Services Revenue have limitations as analytical tools and should not be
considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for
loss after tax, revenue or other financial statement data presented in
our consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial
performance. Some of the limitations are:
-
such measures do not reflect revenue related to fulfilment, which is
necessary to the operation of our business; -
such measures do not reflect our expenditures, or future requirements
for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; - such measures do not reflect changes in our working capital needs;
-
such measures do not reflect our share based payments, income tax
expense or the amounts necessary to pay our taxes; -
although depreciation and amortization are eliminated in the
calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, the assets being depreciated and
amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such
measures do not reflect any costs for such replacements; and -
other companies may calculate such measures differently than we do,
limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Due to these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin,
Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Revenue and Platform Services Revenue should not
be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to
invest in the growth of our business and are in addition to, not a
substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance
prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, the non-IFRS financial
measures we use may differ from the non-IFRS financial measures used by
other companies, and are not intended to be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in
accordance with IFRS. Furthermore, not all companies or analysts may
calculate similarly titled measures in the same manner. We compensate
for these limitation by relying primarily on our IFRS results and using
these non-IFRS measures only as supplemental measures.
Platform Gross Profit, Platform Order Contribution and Platform Order
Contribution Margin are not measurements of our financial performance
under IFRS and do not purport to be alternatives to gross profit or loss
after tax derived in accordance with IFRS. We believe that Platform
Gross Profit, Platform Order Contribution and Platform Order
Contribution Margin are useful measures in evaluating our operating
performance because they take into account demand generation expense and
are used by management to analyze the operating performance of our
platform for the periods presented. We also believe that Platform Gross
Profit, Platform Order Contribution and Platform Order Contribution
Margin are useful measures in evaluating our operating performance
within our industry because they permit the evaluation of our platform
productivity, efficiency and performance.
Farfetch reports under International Financial Reporting Standards
(“IFRS”). Farfetch provides earnings guidance on a non-IFRS basis and
does not provide earnings guidance on an IFRS basis. A reconciliation of
the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most directly comparable
IFRS financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts
and is not provided herein because of the inherent difficulty in
forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such
reconciliations, including adjustments that are made for future changes
in the fair value of cash-settled share based payment liabilities;
foreign exchange gains/(losses) and the other adjustments reflected in
our reconciliation of historical non-IFRS financial measures, the
amounts of which, could be material.
Reconciliations of these non-IFRS measures to the most directly
comparable IFRS measure are included in the accompanying tables.

We define our non-IFRS and other financial and operating metrics as
follows:
“Active Consumers” means active consumers on our directly owned and
operated sites and related apps. A consumer is deemed to be active if
they made a purchase within the last 12-month period, irrespective of
cancellations or returns. Active Consumers includes Farfetch
Marketplace, BrownsFashion.com and Stadium Goods. Due to technical
limitations, Active Consumers does not de-dupe Stadium Goods consumers
from Farfetch Marketplace or BrownsFashion.com consumers. The number of
Active Consumers is an indicator of our ability to attract and retain an
increasingly large consumer base to our platform and of our ability to
convert platform visits into sale orders.
“Adjusted EBITDA” means loss after taxes before net finance expense/
(income), income tax (credit)/expense and depreciation and amortization,
further adjusted for share based compensation expense, other items
(represents items outside the normal scope of our ordinary activities)
and share of results of associates. Adjusted EBITDA provides a basis for
comparison of our business operations between current, past and future
periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our
core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to
other similarly titled metrics of others.
“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” means Adjusted EBITDA calculated as a
percentage of Adjusted Revenue.
“Adjusted EPS” means earnings per share further adjusted for share based
payments, amortization of acquired intangible assets, other items
(outside the normal scope of our ordinary activities), share of results
of associates and the related tax effects of these adjustments. Adjusted
EPS provides a basis for comparison of our business operations between
current, past and future periods by excluding items that we do not
believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EPS
may not be comparable to other similarly titled metrics of other
companies.
“Adjusted Revenue” means revenue less Platform Fulfilment Revenue.
“Average Order Value” (“AOV”) means the average value of all orders
excluding value added taxes placed on either the Farfetch Marketplace or
the Stadium Goods Marketplace, as indicated.
“Gross Merchandise Value” (“GMV”) means the total dollar value of orders
processed. GMV is inclusive of product value, shipping and duty. It is
net of returns, value added taxes and cancellations. GMV does not
represent revenue earned by us, although GMV and revenue are correlated.
“In-Store Gross Profit” means In-Store Revenue less the direct cost of
goods sold relating to In-Store Revenue.
“In-Store Revenue” means revenue generated in our retail stores which
include Browns and Stadium Goods.
“Platform Fulfilment Revenue” means revenue from shipping and customs
clearing services that we provide to our consumers, net of consumer
promotional incentives, such as free shipping and promotional codes.
“Platform GMV” means GMV excluding In-Store Revenue.
“Platform Gross Profit” means gross profit excluding In-Store Gross
Profit.
“Platform Order Contribution” means gross profit after deducting demand
generation expense, which includes fees that we pay for our various
marketing channels. Platform Order Contribution provides an indicator of
our ability to extract consumer value from our demand generation
expense, including the costs of retaining existing consumers and our
ability to acquire new consumers.
“Platform Order Contribution Margin” means Platform Order Contribution
calculated as a percentage of Platform Services Revenue.
“Platform Services Revenue” means Adjusted Revenue less In-Store
Revenue. Platform Services Revenue is driven by our Platform GMV,
including revenue from first-party sales, and commissions from
third-party sales. The revenue realized from first-party sales is equal
to the GMV of such sales because we act as principal in these
transactions, and thus related sales are not commission based. Platform
Services Revenue was also referred to as Adjusted Platform Revenue in
previous filings with the SEC.
“Third-Party Take Rate” means Platform Services Revenue excluding
revenue from first-party sales, as a percentage of GMV excluding GMV
from first-party sales and Platform Fulfilment Revenue. Revenue from
first-party sales, which is equal to GMV from first-party sales, means
revenue derived from sales on our platform of inventory purchased by us.
Certain figures in the release may not recalculate exactly due to
rounding. This is because percentages and/or figures contained herein
are calculated based on actual numbers and not the rounded numbers
presented.
