JUMIA TECHNOLOGIES AG

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE  PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

1      Corporate information

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes present the operations of Jumia Technologies AG (the “Company” or “Jumia Tech”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group” or “Jumia”).

The Company was incorporated as Africa Internet Holding GmbH on June 26, 2012, and was transformed into Jumia Technologies AG, a German stock corporation on January 31, 2019. The Company is domiciled in Germany and has its registered office located at Charlottenstraße 4, 10969 Berlin.

In April 2019 Jumia Tech became a listed company on New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), under the symbol JMIA, where 19.80% of total shares were listed, with initial value per share of 14.50 USD.

Jumia is the leading pan-African e-commerce platform. Jumia’s platform consists of a marketplace, which connects sellers with consumers, a logistics service, which enables the shipping and delivery of packages from sellers to consumers, and a payment service, which facilitates transactions among participants active on Jumia’s platform.

The Group has incurred significant losses since its incorporation. The Group expects to continue generating losses as it makes the necessary investments to grow and/or rebalance its business. The Group will therefore continue to require additional funding either from existing or new shareholders.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Group will continue as a going concern, and which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of the liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Group has sufficient resources to operate as a going concern for the next 12 months.

On November 8, 2020 the Supervisory Board authorized these interim condensed consolidated financial statements for issuance.

2      Basis of preparation

This interim financial report for the quarterly reporting period ended September 30, 2020 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

Our business is seasonal and, consequently, our results tend to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. However, the comparability of the Group's results and financial position of the interim period, is not significantly affected by the level of seasonality.

The interim report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the adoption of the new standards effective as of January 1, 2020 (Note 4 a)).

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in euros and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (€000), except when otherwise indicated.

6

3      Significant changes in the current reporting period

The financial position and performance of the Group was particularly affected by the following events and transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

The Group agreed to pay a settlement for several class action lawsuits, in the amount of $5 million, $1 million of which will be funded by insurance coverage. In result, the Group recorded in the current period an expense in the amount of 4.5 million. (see Notes 14 and 21).
The World Health Organization declared coronavirus and COVID-19 a global health emergency on 30 January 2020. As an e-commerce company operating in Africa, we experienced effects that varied in nature and intensity by country and evolved over time.
oIn the early part of the first quarter of 2020, factory shutdowns in China affected our cross-border business where we facilitate orders from international sellers in general and Chinese ones in particular. It also impacted some of our local sellers who rely on product imports from China. As work resumed in Chinese factories these disruptions eased gradually and their impact on the first quarter 2020 performance was not significant.
oWith the virus reaching Africa starting in March 2020, we started seeing local effects of the pandemic. In terms of business impact, the main effect was localized logistic and supply disruption that persisted throughout the second quarter of 2020 with limited tailwinds from a demand standpoint at group level.
Across the majority of our addressable market, we experienced no meaningful change in consumer behavior, aside from increased demand for essential and every-day products and reduced appetite for higher ticket size, discretionary purchases. We experienced a temporary surge in volumes in some markets, such as Morocco and Tunisia, while in Nigeria and South Africa, we faced significant disruption as a result of movement restriction that only started easing towards the end of the second quarter 2020.
We have seen increased demand from brands and sellers, across all geographies, to join and expand their business on our platform as the COVID-19 crisis further established e-commerce as an important route to market.
oWhile we encountered less supply and logistics disruption in the third quarter vs the first half of 2020, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continued playing out, negatively impacting consumer sentiment in our countries of operation.
oDue to the complexity of the overall factors, which cannot be reliably separated from unrelated drivers of changes in the Group’s financial performance, the several impacts could not be quantified.

Changes in accounting policies, estimates and assumptions

There have been no material revisions to the nature and amount of estimates reported in prior periods, except for the effect of the settlement of the lawsuit. However, as presented above, the effects of COVID-19 have required assessment of significant judgments and estimates to be made, including but not limited to:

Determining the net realizable value of inventory that has become slow moving due to the effects of COVID-19; and,

Estimates of expected credit losses attributable to accounts receivable arising from sales to customers on credit terms, including the incorporation of forward-looking information to supplement historical credit loss rates.

7

4      New accounting pronouncements

a)New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

During the current period the Group has adopted the following amendments, which have no material impacts on the Group’s interim consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 3: Definition of a business
Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of Material.
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7: Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Phase 1)
Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards
b)Standards issued during the interim period but not yet effective in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

Amendment to IFRS 16: Covid 19-related rent concessions.

In May 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 16 Leases which exempts lessees from assessing whether the rent concessions granted by lessors under COVID-19 are a modification to the lease contract, when three criteria are cumulatively met: i) the change in lease payments results in a revised fee for the lease that is substantially equal to, or less than, the fee immediately prior to the change; ii) any reduction in lease payments only affects payments due on or before June 30, 2021; and iii) there are no substantive changes to other lease terms and conditions. This amendment is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 1, 2020, with early application permitted. The Group chose not to perform early application and does not expect to apply this practical expedient.

New share-based payment plans granted during 2020

Stock Option Program 2020

Our shareholders approved the Stock Option Program 2020 (the “2020 Plan”) at our 2020 Annual General Meeting. Jumia granted an individual number of stock options to beneficiaries under the terms and conditions of the SOP 2020.

Each stock option entitles the holder to receive one share of Jumia (or 0.5 ADS as 1 ADS represent 2 shares of Jumia). The option can be exercised after a waiting period (starting from May 15, 2020, the contract date of the individual agreement) of four years at a price which is determined based on the average share price of the last 60 trading days prior to the contract date. The exercise period starts directly after the waiting period and ends two years following the expiry of the waiting period. The exercise of stock options is prohibited during defined blackout periods.

Jumia is entitled to elect, at its sole discretion, a cash payment for each vested stock option instead of issuing one share.

The stock options can only be exercised, if the average annual growth rate of the Gross Merchandise Volume amounts to at least 10% during the four years waiting period. If this performance target is not met, all options will lapse.

Moreover, there is a second condition (only) for a part of the stock options granted to certain members of senior management: The Adjusted EBITDA must be positive for two consecutive quarters by 31 March 2023. If this condition is met for one or more Big Countries (Egypt, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Morocco and Nigeria) or Small Countries (Algeria, Ghana, Senegal, South Africa, Tunisia and Uganda), an individual number of options will vest (if and to the extent of the satisfaction of the other vesting requirements set out in the terms and conditions) for each country for that the condition is met. A satisfaction of the condition for a Big Country will result in a vesting of a greater number of stock options than a satisfaction of the condition for a Small Country.

12

The stock options are subject to vesting requirements.

The stock options shall generally vest in two tranches. Two-thirds of the granted stock options shall vest after two years after grant date. The remaining one-third of the granted stock options shall vest after three years after grant date.

Beneficiaries who are members of the management board will forfeit the right to exercise their options if they resign and start working for a competitor within the next 6 months after the resignation.

Other beneficiaries will keep all stock options that are vested.

If Jumia pays dividends during the waiting period or exercise period, the beneficiaries are entitled to receive a dividend payment for each vested but not yet exercised stock option. However, Jumia does not expect to pay dividends during the next years.

The company is accounting for the stock options of the SOP 2020 as an equity settled plan. For equity-settled awards, the expenses to be recognized are determined based on the grant date fair value of the awards.

The fair values of the SOP 2020 are derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following inputs:

    

SOP 2020

 

Fair value per ADS(1)

Exercise price per ADS

%

Expected volatility(5)

Weighted average of Fair value of Options

EUR 1.26

(1)The Fair value per ADS is derived based on the value per ADS of Jumia traded on the New York Stock Exchange converted into Euro.
(2)Risk-free interest rate is based on US government bond yields consistent to the expected life of options.
(3)Expected dividend yield is assumed to be 0% based on the fact that the Group has no history or expectation of paying a dividend
(4)Expected life of share options is based on the waiting period of four years.
(5)Expected volatility is assumed based on the historical volatility of the Group’s comparable companies in the period equal to the expected life of each grant.

Non-vesting conditions were considered in the determination of the fair value of the options.

As each stock option entitles the holder to receive one share of Jumia, the Fair value per ADS and the exercise price per ADS have to be divided by 2 in order to derive the value per option.

For the 2020 Plan, Jumia recognized expenses of EUR 534 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and EUR 637 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Virtual Restricted Stock Unit Program 2020

Our shareholders also approved the Virtual Restricted Stock Unit Program 2020 (the “2020 VRSUP”) at our 2020 Annual General Meeting. Jumia granted an individual number of virtual restricted stock units (“VRSUs”) to beneficiaries under the terms and conditions of the 2020 VRSUP.

Grants are based on individual grant agreements.

13

Each beneficiary received an individual grant agreement that includes the individual number of VRSUs. Each VRSU entitles the holder to receive a cash payment equal to the ten trading day average share price after the publication by the Company of the later of its last half year report or its last annual financial statements.

For selected employees of the company (i.e. Group 2) and selected employees of affiliated companies (i.e. Group 4), Jumia is entitled to elect, at its sole discretion, to issue one share for each vested VRSU instead of a settlement in cash.

In general, the VRSUs shall vest one year after the grant and will be paid out as soon as reasonably practicable following the expiration of a period of twelve trading days after the publication of Jumia’s first half year report or annual financial statements after the vesting date. All VRSUs will be forfeited if a beneficiary resigns before the payout.

The RSUs for all beneficiaries are not subject to any performance conditions or a maximum payout amount (Cap).

The VRSUP 2020 is recognized as a cash-settled plan for certain beneficiaries (e.g. members of the management board) and as an equity-settled plan for all other beneficiaries. For cash-settled awards, the expenses are determined on the fair value of the awards at each reporting date. For equity-settled awards, the expenses to be recognized are determined based on the grant date fair value of the awards.

The fair value per VRSU was derived based on the observable stock price of Jumia as at the grant date or the reporting date depending on the cash- or equity-settled classification. The weighted average fair value per VRSU amounts to EUR 3.20.

For the cash-settled part of the 2020 VRSUP, Jumia recognized expenses of EUR 979 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and EUR 1,286 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For the equity-settled part of the 2020 VRSUP, Jumia recognized expenses of EUR 532 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and EUR 682 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Other existing plans

For the other existing plans, Jumia recognized expenses of EUR 1,373 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and EUR 9,392 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (For the three months ended September 30, 2019: 7,100; For the nine months ended September 30, 2019: 31,934).

As previously disclosed, several putative class action lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and the New York County Supreme Court against us and other defendants, including current and former members of our supervisory and management boards. The cases assert claims under federal securities laws based on alleged misstatements and omissions in connection with, and following, our initial public offering. On August 11, 2020, we reached an agreement to fully resolve all of the actions, subject to standard conditions including court approval. Under this agreement, in which the defendants do not admit any liability or wrongdoing, Jumia will make a settlement payment of USD 5,000 thousand, USD 1,000 thousand of which will be funded by insurance coverage.

As previously disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements, the Group had one operating and reportable segment, an e-Commerce platform. Although the e-Commerce platform consists of different business platforms of the Group, the chief operating decision-maker, comprised of two Co-CEO’s and the CFO, makes decisions regarding allocation of resources based on the long-term growth potential of the Company as determined by market research, growth and potential in regions, and various internal key performance indicators.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, no customer amounted for more than 5% of Group revenues (September 30, 2019: nil).

24      Transactions and balances with related parties

Transactions with MTN

Our shareholder Mobile Telephone Networks Holdings (Pty) Ltd sold a significant number of shares in Jumia, during the third quarter of 2020, and no longer qualifies as a related party, as of September 30, 2020.

The Group engages in several initiatives with affiliates of MTN. For example, consumers may pay for transactions on Jumia’s platform with MTN’s mobile money. The Group has also set up dedicated MTN branded online stores on our platform. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the expenses incurred with MTN amounted to EUR 220 thousand (September 30, 2019: 438). For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the expenses incurred with MTN amounted to EUR 84 thousand (September 30, 2019: 159).

In 2020, the Group also entered into an agreement in which MTN prepaid for corporate and gift purchases in Jumia’s platform through vouchers, which amounted for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to EUR 961 thousand (for the three months ended September 30, 2020: 221), from which EUR 864 thousand have been converted into revenue during the period. In 2019, MTN prepaid for their employees purchases in Jumia’s platform through the wallet top-ups which amounted for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to EUR 524 thousand (for the three months ended September 30, 2019: 35), which have all been converted into revenue during the period.

25      Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the financial statements approximate their fair values.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Group does not own assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss or assets at fair value through comprehensive income in accordance with IFRS 9.

26      Financial risk management

Market risk

Foreign currency risk

Intercompany loans bear the majority of the Group’s foreign currency risk as they are issued and are repayable in Euro or US dollars. Fluctuation of various exchange rates in Africa and the resulting related foreign exchange gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income.

Credit risk

Trade receivables

As of September 30, 2020, the Group has as an allowance for uncollectible receivables of EUR 7,506 thousand (December 31, 2019: 8,283) as set out in the Note 9. Additionally, the Group has as an allowance for uncollectible other receivables of EUR 682 thousand (December 31, 2019: 503). The ECL provision for uncollectible receivables represents 57% (December 31, 2019: 47%) of the total trade and other receivables.

Cash deposits

As of September 30, 2020, the impact of measuring ECL for cash and cash equivalents remains immaterial in the consolidated financial statements.

The majority of the Group’s cash deposit balances are maintained in Germany. German bank accounts are secured via the deposit protection fund, which secures all bank deposits up to 20% of the liable equity of the bank.

Liquidity risk

As all funds come exclusively from the shareholders and there are no external borrowings, the Group mitigates the risk of interest.

20

Based on the cash flow forecast for 2021, the Group has sufficient liquidity as of September 30, 2020 for the next twelve months.

27      Commitments and contingencies

Tax contingencies

The Group has contingent liabilities related to potential tax claims arising in the ordinary course of business.

As of September 30, 2020, there are ongoing tax audits in various countries. Some of these tax enquiries have resulted in re-assessments, whilst others are still at an early stage and no re-assessment has yet been raised. Management is required to make estimates and judgments about the ultimate outcome of these investigations or litigations in determining legal provisions. Final claims or court rulings may differ from management estimates.

As of September 30, 2020, the Group has accrued for net tax provisions (excluding Uncertainty over Income Tax reported within Income Tax payables in accordance with IFRC 23 interpretation) in the amount of EUR 28,583 thousand (2019: 25,840) as a result of the assessment of potential exposures due to uncertain non income tax positions as well as pending and resolved matters with the relevant tax authorities (Note 16).

In addition to the above tax risks, in common with other international groups, the conflict between the Group’s international operating model, the jurisdictional approach of tax authorities and some domestic tax requirements in relation to withholding tax and VAT compliance and recoverability rules, could lead to a further EUR 8,925 thousand in additional uncertainty on tax positions. The likelihood of future economic outflows with regard to these potential tax claims is however considered as only possible, but not probable. Accordingly, no provision for a liability has been made in these consolidated financial statements.

The Group may also be subject to other tax claims for which the risk of future economic outflows is currently evaluated to be remote

Legal Proceedings with shareholders

Since May 2019, several putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the company, certain of its management and supervisory board members, the underwriters of its IPO, and its U.S. representative in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and the New York County Supreme Court. The cases assert claims under federal securities laws based on alleged misstatements and omissions in connection with, and following, the company’s initial public offering.  On August 11, 2020, the parties reached an agreement to fully resolve all of the actions, subject to court approval.  Under the agreement, in which the defendants do not admit any liability or wrongdoing, the company will make a settlement payment of $5 million, $1 million of which will be funded by insurance coverage.  On October 9, 2020, the plaintiffs moved for preliminary court approval of the proposed settlements.

28      Subsequent events

Management has not identified events occurred after September 30, 2020, for which, due to their materiality, additional disclosure in the Notes to the unaudited interim condensed financial statements is required.
