Thomas Mackenbrock, CEO of Majorel Group said:

"I'm pleased to report that Majorel has maintained its strong growth momentum, underpinned by our deep long-term client relationships, together with the expertise and passion of our team members across the world.

In the first nine months of 2021, we've delivered year-on-year growth in net revenues of +33%. This has been driven by strong organic growth resulting from increased demand primarily from our Global Internet and BFSI clients. Covid-19 related businesses and the first time consolidation of our China business supported this strong top line growth."

GROUP REVENUES, GROUP NET REVENUES AND NET REVENUES BY SEGMENT

Europe, Africa & South America (EASA)

The EASA Segment has seen strong YOY growth in net revenues for Q3 (+15%) and the nine months to September 30, 2021 (+21%). Main drivers for the development have been continued expansion with Global Internet and BFSI Clients, contribution of Covid-19 related services and the continuation of active portfolio management.

Global English, Middle East & South East Asia (GEMS)

The GEMS Segment has seen strong YOY growth in net revenues for Q3 (+52%) and the nine months to September 30, 2021 (+45%). This has been driven by continued expansion with Global Internet Clients, particularly in the Philippines, Canada, the US, Malaysia, India, and Kenya.

China & East Asia (CEA)

The CEA Segment has delivered net revenues for Q3 of €27m and for the nine months to September 30, 2021, of €68m. Given that the China business was consolidated for the first time on January 1, 2021, there are no comparable figures for the previous year. The positive contribution from CEA has been driven by further expansion of the footprint in China, the continuing growth of digital consumer engagement services, and the focus on Consumer Products and digital clients. The positive contribution from CEA is in line with management expectations.

OUTLOOK

Given these positive developments, the management is confident to increase its previous guidance for the full fiscal year, ending December 31, 2021. The Company now expects net revenues to be in the range of €1,700m to €1,750m (previous guidance, €1,650m to €1,700m) and operating EBITDA of €290m to €310m (previous guidance, €280m to €300m). The existing guidance for the midterm remains unchanged.

All financial information in this announcement is unaudited and preliminary. It does not purport to contain all information required to evaluate the Company and/or its financial position. All forward-looking statements are based on Company's present expectations of future events and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

^[1] All financials are based on unaudited and non-reviewed management reporting.

^[2] "Net Revenues" for the group correspond to revenues as reported in our management reporting less certain direct, order-related external costs which are part of external expenses and costs of materials and consist mainly of cost of services purchased (subcontracted or outsourced services). Net Revenues for each segment correspond to the according segment revenues less certain direct, order-related intersegment and external costs. Management reporting data exclude revenues from minor activities (primarily the Sonopress Business) outside the Majorel Group's core business which are reported in the consolidated income statement (the "Sonopress Business" is defined as certain non-core business activities historically carried out by Arvato de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., which is currently being wound down).

^[3] "Net revenue retention" means net revenues generated by clients in Q3 2021 divided by net revenues generated by the same cohort of clients in Q3 2020 (excluding China business).

^[4] "Operating EBITDA" is defined as EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) adjusted for depreciation / amortization, impairment and reversal on intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, adjusted for (i) impairment on goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful life as well as gains from business combinations, (ii) carrying amounts on assets held for sale, (iii) impairment/reversals on other financial assets at amortized cost, (iv) impairment/reversals on investments accounted for using the equity method, (v) results from disposals of investments, (vi) fair value measurement of investments, and (vii) restructuring and other special items. We use Operating EBITDA to assess the operating performance of our business as Operating EBITDA shows our EBIT as adjusted for depreciation and amortization, which are non-cash effective charges, and one-off effects for the relevant period. When comparing Operating EBITDA with peer group data, it should be taken into account that the total adjustments in a given year do not represent the full amount of all special effects incurred in a given year, as rather only material non-recurring effects subject to certain thresholds will be considered for the purpose of calculating Operating EBITDA.
