"We are executing on our acceleration strategy to drive usage growth on our platform and are encouraged to see early signs of success in our business, including posting our fastest growth rate in Orders in the past five quarters," commented Jeremy Hodara and Sacha Poignonnec, Co-Chief Executive Officers of Jumia. "Over the past 18 months, we have significantly diversified our product category mix, improved our unit economics and strengthened our balance sheet. To build on this momentum and drive the long-term growth of our business, we increased investments this quarter in Sales and Advertising and Technology while continuing to expand our Gross profit after Fulfillment expense. While we start to see early signs of usage acceleration, these investments are long term in nature and we expect them to pay out over time, as we continue to execute on our strategy. Our current focus is on accelerating both e-commerce and fintech adoption, by engaging consumers and sellers into the variety of our services and making our platform even more compelling and relevant as part of their everyday lives."

Functional currency change

Prior to April 1, 2021, the functional currency of Jumia Technologies AG was the Euro. The increase of our cash balances in USD as a result of our successive equity fund raisings, including the latest one in Q1 2021 required Jumia Technologies AG to reassess its functional currency from EUR to USD. The change in functional currency was accounted for prospectively from April 1, 2021. Also effective April 1, 2021, consistent with the change in functional currency for Jumia Technologies AG, the Group elected to change its presentation currency from EUR to USD. The change in presentation currency was accounted for retrospectively.

Comparative numbers have been modified to reflect the change in presentation currency. A convenience conversion into USD of selected historical financial and operating metrics has been provided in the appendix.

 

SECOND QUARTER 2021- BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

  1. SELECTED USAGE GROWTH INITIATIVES

We are currently focused on accelerating usage growth on our platform and are implementing a number of initiatives across the business to that effect. Our strategic initiatives to accelerate growth span all areas of the business and are informed by consumer insights as well as multiple pilots conducted over the past few months.

Sales and Advertising

We are ramping up our marketing investments across below-the-line and above-the-line channels to drive customer acquisition and retention. We have highlighted below selected initiatives across these channels:

  • Our below-the-line initiatives are focused on online performance channels such as Google and Facebook and cover all phases of our customer journey: awareness, new customer targeting, app installs as well as returning customers retargeting. We are increasing in 2021 the overall amount of marketing spend on these channels compared to 2020, leveraging the efficiency learnings from 2020. We also intend to implement a "full funnel" approach particularly on Facebook that goes beyond direct-response ads and includes more brand awareness campaigns with more engaging video content targeted towards relevant audiences. Lastly, we plan to further scale our social media influencers channel, on the back of the success of this channel as a customer education and acquisition tool in certain countries such as Egypt.
  • We are increasing our investments in offline marketing channels to drive even more brand visibility with "always-on" above-the-line campaigns. We are also leveraging geotargeting tools to identify under-penetrated areas and launch targeted out-of-home advertising.
  • We are deploying more consumer incentives and enhancing our consumer engagement strategy with the roll-out of our new CRM growth tool. We have developed and piloted a CRM tool based on a machine learning algorithm that allows for more refined audience targeting and more tailored push-notification content, allowing us to both reduce opt-outs and drive usage uplift.

Technology

We are increasing our technology investments to build more products and features aimed at increasing user engagement on our platform. We are planning to expand our current tech team of almost 250 professionals by increasing headcount in our Porto tech hub and our newly launched tech hub in Cairo, Egypt. Our Cairo hub will host over 100 tech professionals and will include dedicated teams to front-end projects. These projects include increasing the personalization of our onsite content, including homepage, product widgets, search etc. We also plan to plan to enhance our daily and weekly animations with dedicated teams to gamification content creation, flash sales and branding campaigns. In addition, we are planning to start developing selected social commerce features such as user generated content (e.g. video/picture upload in reviews) and more content features for sellers and influencers.

Commercial

Informed by customer insights and the strong momentum of these categories on our platform, we intend to further penetrate "every-day" product categories to drive customer acquisition and purchase frequency.

  • The grocery category is among the categories of focus for us and we are leveraging both our on-demand and e-commerce platforms to meet the variety of consumer needs in this space.
    • Our e-commerce platform caters to larger grocery basket sizes for planned purchases. We have accelerated the pace of seller and brand onboarding in this category. In Q2.2021 alone, we onboarded over 780 FMCG brands and sellers, taking the count of live product listings in this category from approximately 65,000 at June 30, 2020 to almost 100,000 at June 30, 2021.
    • Through our on-demand platform, Jumia Food, consumers can make ad-hoc purchases of grocery and FMCG items from convenience outlets and supermarkets for delivery within one hour. We are also piloting the use of dark stores or micro fulfillment centers located in high population density areas for the fulfillment of grocery orders.
  • Fashion continues to be the largest category in terms of items sold on Jumia and we remain focused on driving further assortment diversity and relevance, leveraging both local supply as well as our cross-border platform. In Q2.2021, we launched a partnership in Morocco with Modanisa, a leading fashion platform from Turkey and intend to roll it out in the future to more geographies in Africa.
  • Our product category assortment is carefully tailored to local customer preferences and we develop specific categories to meet local needs. In many countries in Africa and Ivory Coast in particular, agriculture is a core pillar of the economy and employs almost two thirds of the population according to the New Agriculturist journal. As a result, we have been building out the agriculture and farming product category in Ivory Coast, leveraging the depth of our logistics platform that reaches customers across the country, including rural areas. Best-selling products in this category in the second quarter of 2021 included agricultural sprayer pumps and poultry feeders.

    2. JUMIAPAY UPDATE 
     
  • The largest state-owned bank in Egypt, National Bank of Egypt (NBE) obtained an approval in principle from the Central Bank of Egypt to offer certain services in partnership with our JumiaPay business line. The services are payment service provider (PSP), payment facilitation (PayFac) and payment aggregator (PA) for the processing of payments off-platform on behalf of third-party merchants in Egypt. These are significant developments for JumiaPay and allow us to deploy our payment services off-platform in Egypt, in partnership with NBE.
  • During the second quarter of 2021 we continued to drive the diversity of digital and financial services available to consumers on the JumiaPay app, adding 19 new services. For example, in Morocco, the Jawaz solution is now available to customers on JumiaPay allowing them to recharge their highway toll fees on the JumiaPay app without the need to stop at physical tolls on their journey.

3. MONETIZATION UPDATE: Logistics services to third parties

  • Our newly launched offering of logistics services to third parties is experiencing very strong momentum with a record 1.3 million packages delivered in the second quarter of 2021 compared to half a million packages in the full year 2020, on behalf of over 300 clients. Logistics-as-a-service clients during the quarter included:
    • The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in Ivory Coast: Jumia is collaborating with the UNICEF for the delivery of over 16 million Long-Lasting Impregnated Mosquito Net (LLIN) to households across over 100 remote health districts in Ivory Coast.
    • Fareast Mercantile Limited in Ghana: Far East Mercantile Ltd is a leading FMCG distribution company distributing 1,500 SKUs across Africa on behalf of several international and owned brands. Jumia is collaborating with Far East Mercantile Ltd for their line haulage to customers in Ghana.
    • Wema Bank, a fully digital bank based in Nigeria: Jumia is providing the delivery of card products via road and air freight to Wema Bank's customers across Nigeria.

4. IMPACT INITIATIVES

  • Jumia collaborated with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), alongside the European Commission and Kantar Public, on a report entitled Women and E-commerce in Africa, the first research of its kind in Africa. Covering entrepreneurs in Nigeria, Kenya and Ivory Coast, the report found that increasing the number of women selling on online platforms such as Jumia by providing them with training and financial support can significantly accelerate e-commerce growth on the continent over the coming years. Jumia is committed to further supporting women entrepreneurs, beyond providing them with a digital route to market, by helping them access credit to fund the growth of their ventures.
  • Helping our sellers, particularly SMEs, access financing through JumiaPay remains a key priority for us. We leverage the business and transactional data of our sellers to help financial institutions pre-score their credit on an anonymized basis and offer them short-term loans and working capital financing. The second quarter of 2021 was a record quarter in terms of loan origination with 456 loans disbursed as part of this initiative benefiting 349 unique sellers.
  • Jumia partnered with the International Alliance for Responsible Drinking (IARD) - a global partnership of the 12 leading beer, wine and spirits companies, including Pernod Ricard, ABInBev and Diageo - alongside 13 prominent global and regional online retailers, e-commerce and delivery platforms including JD.com, Mercado Libre and Uber Eats, to develop the first-ever global standards for the online sale and delivery of alcoholic beverages. This international initiative is focused on supporting consumers' increasing demands for greater convenience with enhanced standards of responsibility to prevent sale to those underage and to reduce harmful drinking.

  • Annual Active Consumers reached 7.0 million in the second quarter of 2021, up 3% year-over-year, as we continued to acquire new consumers and engage existing ones.
  • Orders reached 7.6 million, up 13% year-over-year. This was the fastest volume growth of the past 5 quarters. In terms of trends by categories, we observed the following:
    • Phones and electronics categories continued to see volume declines during the quarter while some of the essential categories such as beauty & personal care or FMCG faced tougher comps, having experienced very strong growth at the onset of the pandemic in the second quarter of 2020.
    • The fastest growing category on our platform was food delivery, which posted the highest ever number of quarterly orders, up almost 60% year-over-year and accounting for 22% of total orders on our platform during the quarter. Food delivery is the first area of the business where we deployed our growth acceleration efforts late last year to reignite usage growth after the disruption experienced at the onset of the pandemic.
  • GMV was $223.5 million, down 11% on a year-over-year basis and 14% on a constant currency basis. FX effects were a tailwind for USD GMV performance this quarter as the currencies of a number of countries such as Ivory Coast, Morocco and South Africa appreciated against the USD this year compared to last year. In terms of trends by product category, we observed the following:
    • Continued diversification of GMV in favor of everyday categories. Phones & electronics went from accounting for 43% of the GMV in the second quarter of 2020 to 37% of GMV in the second quarter of 2021. These categories continued to see GMV year-over-year declines on our platform in the second quarter of 2021 due to multiple factors including supply disruption and muted consumer demand due to the high-ticket size, discretionary nature of these items.
    • Non-physical goods business i.e. food delivery and the digital and financial services offered via JumiaPay are experiencing very strong momentum, contributing 14% of GMV in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 9% in the second quarter of 2020. The fastest growing category in GMV terms is financial and digital services offered via JumiaPay. This category posted its largest ever quarterly GMV in the second quarter of 2021, up more than 60% compared to the second quarter of 2020 which itself was a strong quarter, up 56% compared to the second quarter of 2019. This strong growth was fueled by triple digit growth in the financial services category, notably the distribution of microloans underwritten by third party financial institutions, as well as gaming vouchers and subscriptions.
  • The COVID-19 situation in Africa remains in flux with continued operating environment uncertainty as governments continuously adjust their lockdown responses to the pandemic. We also expect the economic challenges induced by the pandemic to negatively impact consumer sentiment and spending power. Regardless of macro dislocation we may face in the near term, we have significant opportunity to meaningfully accelerate usage growth on our platform and we are encouraged to see early signs of acceleration in multiple areas of the business.

On-platform penetration of JumiaPay as a percentage of GMV increased to 25.3% in the second quarter of 2021 from 23.5% in the second quarter of 2020. Multiple countries within our footprint have reached significantly higher penetration rates with Nigeria and Egypt surpassing 40% of TPV penetration as % of GMV in the first half of 2021.
  • JumiaPay Transactions increased by 12% from 2.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 to 2.7 million in the second quarter of 2021, the fastest Transactions growth rate of the past 4 quarters. JumiaPay Transactions growth was supported by accelerating volume growth in the business, in the food delivery category in particular. Overall, 35.4% of Orders placed on the Jumia platform in the second quarter of 2021 were completed using JumiaPay, compared to 35.6% in the second quarter of 2020.

Revenue

  • First Party revenue increased by 7% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020. We tactically undertook business on a first party basis during the quarter, particularly in the FMCG category, to complement the product assortment available to our consumers within selected sub-categories. Shifts in the mix between first party and marketplace activities trigger substantial variations in our Revenue as we record the full sales price net of returns as First Party revenue and only commissions and fees in the case of Marketplace revenue. Accordingly, we steer our operations not on the basis of our total Revenue, but rather on the basis of Gross profit, as changes between third-party and first-party sales are largely eliminated at the Gross profit level.
  • Marketplace revenue reached $26.2 million in the second quarter of 2021 and was stable compared to the second quarter of 2020.
    • Commissions and fulfillment revenue decreased by 7% and 2% respectively year-over-year, as a result of targeted actions to support usage growth, including higher consumer price incentives and shipping discounts.
    • Value Added Services revenue increased by 10% year-over-year, the fastest growth rate of the past 6 quarters. This was a result of increased volumes on our platform and hence higher shipping contributions collected from sellers as well as increased take-up by sellers of our warehousing services, particularly cross-border sellers who leverage our local storage facilities to reduce delivery times for consumers.
    • Marketing & Advertising revenue increased by 18%, supported by robust growth of our sponsored products ad solution. We are constantly enhancing the user experience and relevance of our ad products to drive increased click-through-rates, via better audience segmentation, innovative ad placement and overall improved ad operations and analytics.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by 4% to $26.8 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $25.6 million in the second quarter of 2020, ahead of marketplace revenue growth as a result of reduced marketplace cost of sales. On a constant currency basis, Gross profit in the second quarter of 2021 increased by 1% year-over-year.

Fulfillment Expense

  • Fulfillment expense remained stable in the second quarter of 2021 on a year-over-year basis despite an acceleration in Orders as the increase in freight & shipping costs was offset by staff costs savings and increased efficiencies in our fulfillment centers.
  • During the second quarter of 2021, Gross profit after Fulfillment expense reached $7.7 million compared to $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2020, in parallel with the increase in Gross profit.
  • Lastly, the pass-through of our Fulfillment expense, measured as the ratio of the sum of Fulfillment and Value Added Services revenue over Fulfillment expense, increased from 73% in the second quarter of 2020 to 75% in the second quarter of 2021, mainly due to higher pass-through of fulfillment costs to sellers.

Sales and Advertising Expense

Sales and Advertising expense increased by 115% to $17.1 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $7.9 million in the same period last year, as we increased marketing investments across channels to accelerate usage growth. This expense was in line with the Sales and Advertising expense in the second quarter of 2019, which reached $16.7 million.

Technology and Content Expense

Technology and Content expense increased by 8% to $8.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $7.8 million in the same period last year, as we increased our technology investments to support the growth of our e-commerce and payment activities.

General and Administrative Expense

General & Administrative expense, excluding SBC, reached $26.6 million in the second quarter of 2021, down 15% on a year-over-year basis. This trend was mostly attributable to a decrease in provisions, particularly as the second quarter of 2020 included $5mm of provision for class action settlement.

Operating loss

  • Adjusted EBITDA loss was $41.6 million in the second quarter of 2021, up 15% year-over-year, mostly as a result of increases in Sales and Advertising and Technology and Content expenses, partially offset by savings in General and Administrative expense, excluding SBC, and increased Gross profit after Fulfillment expense.
  • Operating loss was $51.6 million, up 25% year-over-year as a result of the increases in Adjusted EBITDA loss as well as Share-Based Compensation expense, reflecting the impact of the 2020 and 2021 grants.
  • On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EBITDA loss and Operating loss increased by 16% and 27% on a year-over-year basis respectively.

Cash Position

At the end of June 30, 2021, we had $637.7 million of cash on our balance sheet. Cash used in operating and investing activities was $27.4 million, supported by a positive working capital effect of $12.6 million as a result of an increase in payables related to the Jumia Anniversary campaign that took place in June 2021.

GUIDANCE

We are focused on accelerating usage growth on our platform alongside the development JumiaPay and are investing in our business to that effect. In the second half of 2021, we expect to increase our investments in Sales and Advertising, Technology and staff costs expenses as compared to the second half of 2020.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as well as the ensuing macroeconomic challenges result in substantial uncertainty concerning our operating environment and financial outlook. This may be further exacerbated by instances of social protests or political disruption, as experienced in South Africa in July 2021 for example.

Forward Looking Statements

This release includes forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this release, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, industry dynamics, business strategy and plans and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements represent our opinions, expectations, beliefs, intentions, estimates or strategies regarding the future, which may not be realized. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "could," "intends," "targets," "projects," "believes," "estimates", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions that are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statement, including, without limitation, the risks described under Item 3. "Key Information-D. Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 20-F as filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, 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 we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this release may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. We caution you therefore against relying on these forward-looking statements, and we qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

The forward-looking statements included in this release are made only as of the date hereof. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, neither we nor our advisors nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. Neither we nor our advisors undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this release to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as may be required by law. You should read this release with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

Non-IFRS and Other Financial and Operating Metrics

Changes, percentages, ratios and aggregate amounts presented have been calculated on the basis of unrounded figures.

This release includes certain financial measures and metrics not based on IFRS, including Adjusted EBITDA, as well as operating metrics, including Annual Active Consumers, Orders and GMV. We define Annual Active Consumers, Orders, GMV, Total Payment Volume, JumiaPay Transactions and Adjusted EBITDA as follows:

Annual Active Consumers means unique consumers who placed an order for a product or a service on our platform, within the 12-month period preceding the relevant date, irrespective of cancellations or returns.

We believe that Annual Active Consumers is a useful indicator for adoption of our offering by consumers in our markets.

Orders corresponds to the total number of orders for products and services on our platform, irrespective of cancellations or returns, for the relevant period.

We believe that the number of orders is a useful indicator to measure the total usage of our platform, irrespective of the monetary value of the individual transactions.

GMV corresponds to the total value of orders for products and services, including shipping fees, value added tax, and before deductions of any discounts or vouchers, irrespective of cancellations or returns for the relevant period.

We believe that GMV is a useful indicator for the usage of our platform that is not influenced by shifts in our sales between first-party and third-party sales or the method of payment.

We use Annual Active Consumers, Orders and GMV as some of many indicators to monitor usage of our platform.

Total Payment Volume ("TPV") corresponds to the total value of orders for products and services for which JumiaPay was used including shipping fees, value-added tax, and before deductions of any discounts or vouchers, irrespective of cancellations or returns, for the relevant period.

We believe that TPV, which corresponds to the share of GMV for which JumiaPay was used, provides a useful indicator of the development, and adoption by consumers, of the payment services offerings we make

available, directly and indirectly, through JumiaPay.

JumiaPay Transactions corresponds to the total number of orders for products and services on our marketplace for which JumiaPay was used, irrespective of cancellations or returns, for the relevant period.

We believe that JumiaPay Transactions provides a useful indicator of the development, and adoption by consumers, of the cashless payment services offerings we make available for orders on our platform irrespective of the monetary value of the individual transactions.

We use TPV and the number of JumiaPay Transactions to measure the development of our payment services and the progressive conversion of cash on delivery orders into prepaid orders.

Adjusted EBITDA corresponds to loss for the period, adjusted for income tax expense (benefit), finance income, finance costs, depreciation and amortization and further adjusted for share-based payment expense.

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-IFRS measure of our operating performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to loss for the period, loss before income tax or any other performance measure derived in accordance with IFRS. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies and analysts calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our operating performance. Management believes that investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by including non-IFRS financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations. By providing this non-IFRS financial measure, together with a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS financial measure, 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.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA:

  • as a measurement of operating performance because it assists us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis, as it removes 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 expand our business.

Items excluded from this non-IFRS measure are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for analysis of our results reported in accordance with IFRS, including loss for the period. Some of the limitations are:

  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our share-based payments, income tax expense (benefit) 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 Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Due to these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these and other limitations by providing a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, loss for the period.

The following table provides a reconciliation of loss for the period to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated:

Constant currency data

Certain metrics have also been presented on a constant currency basis. We use constant currency information to provide us with a picture of underlying business dynamics, excluding currency effects.

Constant currency metrics are calculated using the average monthly exchange rates for each month during 2020 and applying them to the corresponding months in 2021, so as to calculate what our results would have been had exchange rates remained stable from one year to the next. Constant currency information is not a measure calculated in accordance with IFRS. While we believe that constant currency information may be useful to investors in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management, our use of constant currency metrics has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under IFRS. Further, other companies, including companies in our industry, may report the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates differently, which may reduce the value of our constant currency information as a comparative measure.

The following table sets forth the constant currency data for selected metrics.
