Company Commentary

“Jumia delivered another quarter of acceleration in its usage trends along with improved cash efficiency. Continued execution against our strategic priorities drove a 7% year-over-year increase in Orders, while Orders per Customer, excluding JumiaPay app Orders, which do not incur logistics costs, climbed to 2.1 Orders in the second quarter of 2024. GMV improved 35% year-over-year in constant currency and we delivered GMV growth in reported currency in six of our countries in the second quarter, up from five in the first quarter of 2024, a sign that the Jumia value proposition continues to resonate with the African consumer.

Our quarterly cash burn1 declined 55%, or $10.4 million, quarter-over-quarter to $8.7 million in the second quarter of 2024 as a result of disciplined cost management and reductions in finance costs. Year-over-year our marketing spend declined 19% as we continued to invest in proven channels, such as CRM, SEO and local offline channels. These efforts delivered a 6% sequential increase in our active customer count and continued improvements in our 90 day repurchase rate.

Our performance this quarter reinforces our belief that our strategy is working. Our deep understanding of the African e-commerce market as well as our unique asset base and strategy position Jumia for growth as we progress on the path towards profitability.” - Francis Dufay, CEO

1 Cash burn is defined as the use of Jumia’s Liquidity Position, which is comprised of Jumia’s cash and cash equivalents and term deposits and other financial assets.

(1) See “Non-IFRS and Other Financial and Operating Metrics” for a reconciliation of non-IFRS measures to IFRS measures.

(2) Loss before income tax from continuing operations in constant currency excludes the impact of foreign exchange recorded in finance income/costs.

Revenue

•Revenue of $36.5 million, down 17% year-over-year or up 15% year-over-year on a constant currency basis.

◦Marketplace revenue, comprised of commissions, fulfillment revenue, value added services and marketing and advertising revenue was $20.0 million, down 10% year-over-year or up 27% year-over-year on a constant currency basis. The decline in USD was primarily driven by the impact of foreign exchange devaluations. These declines were partially offset by increases in commissions from third-party corporate sales.

◦First-Party sales revenue was $16.1 million, down 24% year-over-year or up 4% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, driven by lower first party corporate sales in Egypt, and the impact of foreign exchange.

Gross Profit

•Gross profit was $21.6 million, down 6% year-over-year or up 35% year-over-year on a constant currency basis.

•Gross profit as a percentage of GMV was 13%, flat when compared to the second quarter of 2023 as a result of improved marketplace margins and a reduction in spending on customer incentives offset by foreign exchange devaluations.

◦The percentage of orders of physical goods benefiting from customer incentives decreased from 31% in the second quarter of 2023 to 28% in the second quarter of 2024.

Expenses

•Fulfillment expense amounted to $9.3 million, down 12% year-over-year or up 18% year-over-year on a constant currency basis.

◦Fulfillment expense per Order, excluding JumiaPay app Orders, which do not incur logistics costs, decreased by 16% year-over-year to $2.2, reflecting an increase of 13% year-over-year on a constant currency basis.

•Sales and Advertising expense was $4.4 million, down 19% year-over-year or up 20% year-over-year on a constant currency basis.

•Technology and Content expense was $8.7 million, down 18% year-over-year or down 14% year-over-year on a constant currency basis.

•General and Administrative expense was $19.2 million, up 4% year-over-year or up 26% year-over-year on a constant currency basis.

◦General and Administrative expense, excluding share-based compensation, was $17.6 million, up 2% year-over-year or up 26% year-over-year on a constant currency basis.

◦This increase was due to the release of tax provisions in the second quarter of 2023, which did not recur in the second quarter of 2024. A decline in staff costs had a partially offsetting effect.

Operating loss

•Operating loss was $20.2 million, down by 8% year-over-year or down 5% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, primarily reflecting the impact of cost reductions in the quarter.

•Loss before income tax from continuing operations was $22.5 million, down 27% year-over-year, driven by cost savings initiatives in the quarter and a decrease in finance costs mostly driven by a decrease in net foreign exchange losses compared to the second quarter of 2023. The finance costs for the second quarter of 2024 were mainly influenced by losses recognized on the sale of financial assets. These assets, consisting of investments in securities measured at fair value, only impact our income statement upon disposal. This shift in the nature of finance costs between the two quarters highlights the varying financial factors affecting our performance.

•Loss before income tax from continuing operations, which excludes the impact of foreign exchange recorded in finance income and finance costs, was up 1% in constant currency.

Cash Position

•As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s liquidity position was $92.8 million, comprised of $45.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $47.7 million in term deposits and other financial assets.

•Jumia’s liquidity position decreased $8.7 million in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to a decrease of $39.1 million in the second quarter of 2023, and a decrease of $19.1 million in the first quarter of 2024.

•The continued improvement in Jumia’s cash management illustrates its ongoing efforts to effectively preserve its cash resources as it executes on its growth strategy. As of the second quarter of 2024, 67% of the Company’s liquidity position was held in USD, as the Company continues to refine its cash repatriation strategy.

JumiaPay Transactions (million)	1.4	1.9	30.8	%	n.a.	n.a.		2.7	3.8	40.7	%	n.a.	n.a.

•GMV declined by 5% year-over-year to $170.1 million and Orders increased by 7% year-over-year. The decline in GMV was impacted mainly by currency devaluations. The growth in Orders was driven by continued efforts to enhance and diversify Jumia’s product assortment as part of the increased focus on the customer value proposition.

◦Jumia continues to take a disciplined and targeted approach to marketing spend focused on targeting more efficient marketing channels, such as search engine optimization (“SEO”), customer relationship management (“CRM”) and relevant offline local channels while also leveraging its JForce network.

◦As a result of these efforts, Jumia is attracting a stickier and higher quality customer base as evidenced by a 262 basis point year-over-year improvement in repurchase rates in the first quarter of 2024.

▪Jumia’s cohort analysis indicates that 36% of new customers, who placed an order for a product or a service on our platform in the first quarter of 2024, completed a second purchase within 90 days. This represents an improvement compared to 33% of new customers from the first quarter of 2023, who reordered within 90 days.

•JumiaPay Transactions reached 1.9 million, an increase of 31% year-over-year mainly driven by increased penetration of JumiaPay on delivery as well as the implementation of cashback campaigns and incentives conducted in the second quarter of 2024.

◦Ongoing efforts to streamline the user experience and the continued rollout of JumiaPay on delivery to increase cashless orders positions JumiaPay as a strong enabler of the Company’s e-commerce platform.

•TPV decreased by 7% year-over year, largely in line with the evolution of GMV. TPV as a percentage of GMV remained relatively stable at 27% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 28% in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in TPV was primarily due to currency devaluations.

◦In June 2024, Jumia terminated its commercial agreement with Mastercard Asia/Pacific. While JumiaPay will continue to accept Mastercard as a method of payment, the termination will allow Jumia to broaden and deepen its relationship with other payment services providers.

GUIDANCE

Jumia remains committed to reducing its losses and accelerating its progress towards cash efficiency and profitable growth.

The Company reiterates its outlook for 2024:

•It aims to further reduce its cash utilization as compared to FY 2023.

•Based on the positive impact of its growth strategy, Jumia projects an increase in both orders and GMV in 2024, excluding the potential impact of foreign exchange.

The above forward-looking statements reflect Jumia’s expectations as of August 6, 2024, are subject to change and involve inherent risks, which are partially or fully beyond its control. These risks include but are not limited to political and economic conditions across countries where it operates, the broader economic impact of the ongoing regional conflicts and global supply chain issues.

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 for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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. Considering 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 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 Customers, Quarterly Active Customers, Orders and GMV. We define Annual Active Customers Quarterly Active Customers, Orders, GMV, Total Payment Volume, JumiaPay Transactions and Adjusted EBITDA as follows:

Annual Active Customers means unique customers 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.

Quarterly Active Customers means unique customers who placed an order for a product or a service on our platform, within the 3-month period preceding the relevant date, irrespective of cancellations or returns.

We believe that Annual Active Customers and Quarterly Active Customers are useful indicators of the adoption of our offering by customers 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.

Gross Merchandise Value (“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 Quarterly Active Customers, 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 customers, 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 customers, 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.

Customer Incentives corresponds to incentives that we grant to our end customers, which include discounts and vouchers. These incentives are consideration payable to a customer and are recognized as a reduction of revenue.

We believe that the level of customer incentives is a useful indicator to measure our targeted marketing expenses related to customer discounts and vouchers.

General and administrative expense, excluding SBC, corresponds to the General & Administrative (“G&A”) expense excluding share-based payment expense (“SBC”). We use this metric to measure the development of our G&A costs exclusive of the impact of SBC which is mainly a non-cash expense, influenced, in part, by share price fluctuations.

Adjusted EBITDA corresponds to loss for the period from continuing operations, 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 from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated:


	For the three months ended		For the six months ended
(USD million)	June 30, 2023	June 30, 2024	June 30, 2023	June 30, 2024
Loss for the period from continuing operations	(30.7)	(22.0)	(60.0)	(62.7)
Income tax expense	(0.2)	(0.5)	(0.1)	0.5
Net Finance costs / (income)	8.8	2.3	9.6	33.6
Depreciation and amortization	2.6	2.3	5.5	4.2
Share-based payment (income) / expense	1.3	1.7	2.3	3.8
Adjusted EBITDA	(18.2)	(16.3)	(42.8)	(20.6)

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 foreign exchange rates for each month during 2023 and applying them to the corresponding months in 2024, so as to calculate what our results would have been had exchange rates remained stable from one year to the next. These calculations do not include any other macroeconomic effect such as local currency inflation effects or any price adjustment to compensate local currency inflation or devaluations. 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.

JUMIA TECHNOLOGIES AG

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2024

1 Corporate information

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed 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 Skalitzer Strasse 104, 10997 Berlin, Germany. The Group operates in e-commerce across the African continent.

In April 2019 Jumia Tech became a listed company on New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), with ticker symbol “JMIA”.

Jumia is the leading pan-African e-commerce platform. Jumia’s platform consists of a marketplace, which connects sellers with customers, a logistics service, which enables the shipping and delivery of packages from sellers to customers, 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 disclose all matters of which the Group is aware, and which are relevant to the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, including all significant events and mitigating factors. Further details can be found in Note 31. 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.

2 Basis of preparation

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the quarterly reporting period ended June 30, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards («IFRS») applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard («IAS») 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board («IASB»).

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, 2023.

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, 2024 (Note 4 a)).

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

3 Significant changes in the current reporting period

The financial position and performance of the Group, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, was affected by Egypt and Nigeria currency fluctuations.

Both Egypt and Nigeria face significant macroeconomic challenges, further exacerbated by ongoing regional conflicts. In 2023, the Egyptian government, while seeking increased access to a support program, collaborated with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to implement policies aimed at promoting exchange rate flexibility and enhancing economic resilience. This resulted in a devaluation of the Egyptian Pound (EGP). The EGP was allowed to float more freely on the market, aligning with IMF loan conditions. During Six months ended June 30, 2024, the accumulated devaluation of the EGP against the US Dollar (USD) was 55%.

Similarly, in June 2023, Nigeria experienced a significant devaluation of the Nigerian Naira (NGN) against the US Dollar following a policy shift by the Central Bank of Nigeria. They abandoned their previous system of multiple exchange rates and allowed the NGN to trade more freely on the foreign exchange market. In February 2024, there was a further devaluation as the methodology for calculating the official exchange rate was revised, bringing it closer to the freely traded rate. During the Six months ended June 30, 2024, the accumulated devaluation of the NGN against the US Dollar (USD) was 71%.

Changes in accounting policies, estimates and assumptions

There have been no material changes in the accounting policies and basis of consolidation adopted in prior periods. None of the standards and interpretations that have been adopted for the first time have had a material impact on the Group's accounting policies.

There have been no material revisions to the nature and amount of estimates and assumptions reported in prior periods. In view of the business activities in which the Group engages, transactions are not substantially cyclical or seasonal in nature. Therefore, no specific disclosures are included in this connection in the explanatory notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current

•Amendments to IFRS 16: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

•Amendments to IAS 1: Non-current Liabilities with Covenants

•Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7: Supplier Finance Arrangements

b) Standards issued during the interim period but not yet effective in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

IAS 21 ("The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates") amendment on lack of exchangeability

On 15 August 2023, the IASB issued ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability (Amendment to IAS 21)' that adds requirements for determining whether a currency can be exchanged for another currency (exchangeability) and defining how to determine the spot exchange rate to be used when it is not possible to exchange a currency for a long period of time. This change also requires the disclosure of information that allows understanding how the currency that cannot be exchanged for another currency affects, or is expected to affect, the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the entity, in addition to the spot exchange rate used on the reporting date and how it was determined. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025.

The group does not expect a material impact upon adoption of this amendment.

Amendments IFRS 9 ("Financial Instruments") and IFRS 7 ("Financial Instruments: Disclosures") regarding the classification and measurement of financial instruments

On 30 May 2024, the IASB issued ‘Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7)'. These amendments intend to: i) clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system; ii) clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criterion; iii) add new disclosure requirements for instruments with contractual conditions that can change cash flows, like those linked to ESG targets; and iv) update the disclosure requirements for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income, separating the fair value reserve into the fair value gains or losses of the investments derecognised and those held at the end of the period. These amendments apply at the date they become effective without restating the comparatives. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026.

The group does not expect a material impact upon adoption of these amendments.

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements

On 9 April 2024, the IASB issued ‘IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements'. This new standard will replace the current IAS 1. While retaining many of the existing principles of IAS 1, it is focused on the specification of a structure for the statement of profit or loss, composed of categories and required subtotals. Items in the statement of profit or loss will be classified into one of three categories: operating, investing, financing. Specified subtotals and totals will be required being the main change the mandatory inclusion of the subtotal “Operating profit or loss”. This standard also includes improvements to the disclosure of management performance measures including the reconciliation with the most similar specified subtotal in IFRS Accounting standards. This standard also enhances guidance on the principles of aggregation and disaggregation of information in the financial statements and respective notes, based on their shared characteristics. This standard applies retrospectively. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027.

The group is analyzing the potential impacts of adoption of this standard in the presentation of financial statements (in particular comprehensive income statement), and disclosures of management performance measures.

IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures

On 9 May 2024, the IASB issued ‘IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures'. This new standard is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. IFRS 19 is a voluntary standard which allows “Eligible” subsidiaries to use IFRS Accounting Standards with reduced disclosure requirements. IFRS 19 is a disclosure-only standard and works alongside other IFRS Accounting Standards for recognition, measurement, and presentation requirements. A subsidiary is “Eligible” if (i) it does not have public accountability; and (ii) has a parent that prepares consolidated financial statements available for public use that comply with IFRS Accounting Standards. IFRS 19 can be applied by “Eligible” subsidiaries when preparing their own consolidated, separate or individual financial statements. Complete comparative information needs to be prepared under IFRS 19 unless any exemption applies. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027.

The group will not have a material impact upon adoption of this standard.

Movements in the carrying amount of property and equipment were as follows:


In thousands of USD	Buildings	Technical equipment and machinery	Transportation equipment, office equipment and other equipment	Right of use assets - Office and Warehouse	Total

Carrying amount as of June 30, 2024	460	1,677	3,402	9,310	14,849

Set out below, are the carrying amounts of the Group’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and the movements during the period:


In thousands of USD	Right of use assets	Lease Liabilities

As of December 31, 2023	6,254	6,075
Additions	6,547	5,426
Depreciation	(2,178)	—

Payments	—	(2,824)
Effect of translation	(1,108)	(726)
As of June 30, 2024	9,310	8,249

During the six months ended on June 30, 2024, the Group’s main additions on Right of use assets include new lease contracts for new warehouse facilities in Nigeria, Morocco, and Egypt as the new office facilities in China and Algeria. Lease modifications are mainly driven by the early termination of warehouse contracts in Egypt and Algeria and by the early termination of office contract in Nigeria. These effects are partially offset by the renewal of warehouse contracts in Senegal.

6 Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

The Group records the tax effect resulting from temporary differences between the assets and liabilities determined on an accounting basis and on a tax basis.

The balance of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, on a consolidated basis, is USD517 thousand as of June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: USD531 thousand), consisting of tax benefits to be used in future periods and USD1,381 thousand as of June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: USD204 thousand), comprised primarily of unrealized foreign exchange gains.

The variance of the tax effect described above impacted “Other reserves” by USD877 thousand, which relates to the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and “Income tax expense” by USD342 thousand, relating to remaining impacts.

As mentioned on the annual report, the offset between deferred tax assets and liabilities is performed at each subsidiary level.

7 Other non-current assets

As of June 30, 2024, other non-current assets were comprised of rent, trade, and other term deposits amounting to USD938 thousand (December 31, 2023: USD1,245 thousand), restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period, and other non-current assets amounting to USD41 thousand as of June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: USD44 thousand).

8 Inventories

Inventories are comprised of the following:


	As of
In thousands of USD	December 31, 2023	June 30, 2024
Merchandise available for sale	10,868	8,277
Less: Provision for slow moving and obsolete inventories	(1,169)	(1,038)
Total Inventories	9,699	7,239

The total cost of inventory, which consists primarily of the purchase price of customer products, recognized as an expense in the interim consolidated profit or loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was USD32,129 thousand. The total cost of revenue recognized as an expense in the interim consolidated profit or loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 amounted to USD32,604 thousand and consists primarily of the cost of inventory.

The amount of write-down of inventories recognized in the consolidated profit or loss was USD575 thousand. The amount of reversal of write-down recognized as reduction in the amount of inventories recognized as an expense in the consolidated profit or loss was USD159 thousand. The reversal of write-down primarily arises from our ability to increase the net realizable value of certain inventory items through price increases, driving higher margins.

9 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of the following:


	As of
In thousands of USD	December 31, 2023	June 30, 2024
Cash at bank and in hand	29,367	41,800
Short-term deposits	6,116	3,257
Total Cash and cash equivalents	35,483	45,057

Cash at banks earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates. Short-term deposits are made for varying periods, depending on the immediate cash requirements of the Group, and earn interest at the respective short-term deposit rates.

The Group has no restricted cash presented in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: none).

While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9 ("Financial Instruments"), the identified expected credit loss was immaterial, due to low credit risk rating of the financial institutions.

10 Term deposits and other financial assets

Term deposits and other financial assets are comprised of the following:


	As of
In thousands of USD	December 31, 2023	June 30, 2024

Other financial assets – current	84,023	46,782

Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise investments in listed investment grade bonds, via a discretionary account managed by Citi Private Bank, with the objective of maintaining capital and obtaining benchmark yields. The Group holds these investments under a “hold to collect and sell” business model as defined under IFRS 9. Interest income from financial assets at fair value through OCI are disclosed in Note 26. The reduction in the amount of the assets occurred throughout the six months ended June 30, 2024, is explained by the sale of listed investment grade bonds and the fair value loss.

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss comprise investments in securities, with the objective of obtaining returns in line with specific market benchmarks. Fair value variances are disclosed in Note 26.

Other financial assets are presented as current whenever maturity of the investments is within 12 months of the reporting date or if management expects to sell the asset within 12 months.

The use of provision pertained to the settlement of tax audits. Provision is calculated based on the detailed review of uncertain tax positions completed by management across the group and in consideration of the probability of a liability arising, within the applicable statute of limitations. These provisions are expected to be utilized or released as a result of the regular tax audits in the Countries where the Group operates.

Marketplace and consignment goods

The provision for marketplace and consignment goods relates to the lost and damaged items, which are to be reimbursed to the sellers. The provision is calculated based on the detailed review of these items, and it is expected that these costs will be incurred in the next financial year.

Provision for other expenses

The provision for other expenses includes the end-of-service gratuity provision of USD454 thousand (December 31, 2023: USD631 thousand) and various litigation and penalty provisions of USD2,818 thousand (December 31, 2023: USD2,561 thousand). The provisions are calculated based on our best estimate considering past experience. Subsequent to the reporting date, USD1.8 million of the provisions were utilized to settle a claim by a regulatory authority.

20 Deferred income

As of June 30, 2024 deferred income included contract liabilities related to payments received from customers in advance for goods that have been ordered but are not yet delivered amounting to USD14,943 thousand (December 31, 2023: USD2,712 thousand), variable consideration deferred amounting to USD1,231 thousand (December 31, 2023: nil) and USD186 thousand (December 31, 2023: USD390 thousand) related to a depositary fee from BNY Mellon, deferred over the course of 5 years which will end in 2024.

Revenue remained stable at USD85,367 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to USD85,281 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2023, driven by higher third-party commissions in corporate sales to local and regional retailers, distributors and other corporate buyers, primarily in Egypt, partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, in particular the Nigerian Naira and the Egyptian Pound depreciation.

As previously disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements, the Group had one operating and reportable segment. The chief operating decision maker, comprised of the CEO and the Executive Vice President, Finance & Operations, makes decisions as to how to allocate resources based on the long-term growth potential of the Group as determined by market research, growth potential in regions, and various internal key performance indicators.

No single customer accounted for more than 10% of Group revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

30 Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments comprise of financial assets and financial liabilities. Financial assets consist of term deposits and other financial assets, cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. Financial liabilities consist of borrowings and trade and other payables.

Management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets measured at amortized cost, and financial liabilities in the financial statements approximate their fair values, due to their short term maturities.

Financial investments measured at fair value

As of June 30, 2024 other financial assets were measured using as inputs quoted prices in an active market, corresponding to the Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy of IFRS 13.

When transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels are required, it is the Group's policy to transfer the amounts at the end of the reporting period.

Amounts of other financial assets corresponding to the Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are transferred to Level 2 when quoted prices cease to be available. Level 2 measurements of fair value are determined by maximizing the use of market data other than the quoted price, such as interest rate yield curves and publicly available credit ratings. Conversely, amounts of other financial assets corresponding to the Level 2 are transferred to Level 1 when quoted prices become available.

31 Financial risk management

Market risk

Foreign currency risk

Due to its international business activities, the Group is exposed to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates in connection with trade payables and trade receivables resulting from purchase and sales transactions denominated in a different currency from the functional currency of the respective operation as well as intercompany financing. However, the Group maintains a natural hedge across most of the Group’s cash flows as the Group’s revenue streams are generated in local currencies matched by Group’s costs mostly incurred in the respective local currencies, limiting the risk of foreign currency exposure.

In respect of currency risk, management sets limits on the level of exposure by currency and in total. The positions are monitored monthly. The Group does not use derivatives as hedging instruments to limit its exposure from foreign currency risks.

Interest rate risk

The Group has invested excess cash in financial instruments such as listed investment grade bonds pursuant to its cash management strategy, as discussed in Note 10. Changes in the interest rate curve will affect the fair value and/or cash flows of the listed investment grade bonds.

In respect of interest rate risk, management monitors the change in interest rates. The Group does not use derivatives as hedging instruments to limit its exposure from interest rate risks.

As of June 30, 2024, the listed investment grade bonds held by the Group are fixed-rate instruments.

Credit risk

Trade receivables

As of June 30, 2024, the Group has as an allowance for uncollectible receivables of USD3,877 thousand (December 31, 2023: USD5,101 thousand) as set out in the Note 11.

The Group evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables and contract assets as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets.

Cash deposits

The expected credit losses (“ECL”) from cash and cash equivalents, are estimated by the Group as immaterial as of June 30, 2024, due to ratings of the financial institutions that indicate low credit risk.

Other financial assets

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk for other financial assets of June 30, 2024 is the respective carrying amount.

As of June 30, 2024, all of the Group’s debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are considered to have low credit risk (stage 1 of the 3-stage model), and the loss allowance recognized during the period was therefore limited to expected credit losses for 12 months. Management considers ‘low credit risk’ for listed bonds to be an investment grade credit rating by a major rating agency. The Group considers that credit risk increases significantly if the credit rating deteriorates to a non-investment grade rating.

The probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) are determined for the investments on an individual basis, using available public corporate PD and LGD assessments of the securities performed by credit rating agencies, which incorporate both historical and forward-looking information, according to market standards. Forward-looking information includes credit rating outlooks and economic forecast measured using country GDP and CDS.

Liquidity risk

As all funding has been exclusively obtained from the shareholders and there are no external borrowings, the Group does not incur an interest rate risk in this regard.

Based on the cash flow forecast for 2025 and 2026, the Group has sufficient liquidity as of June 30, 2024 for the next twelve months.

32 Commitments and contingencies

Tax contingencies

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

As of June 30, 2024, there are ongoing tax audits in various countries. Some of these tax inquiries 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 litigation in determining legal provisions. Final claims or court rulings may differ from management estimates. In addition, Management is required to make estimates and judgements about the ultimate outcome of other tax risks that have not led to an investigation or litigation but that, based on Management’s own assessment, may lead to potential tax claims.

As of June 30, 2024, the Group has accruals for net tax provisions (excluding Uncertainty over Income Tax payables in accordance with IFRIC 23 interpretation) in the amount of USD11,635 thousand (December 31, 2023: USD15,288 thousand) as a result of the assessment of potential exposures due to uncertain tax positions as well as pending and resolved matters with the relevant tax authorities (Note 19). Additionally, as of June 30, 2024 Uncertainty over Income Tax payables in accordance with IFRIC 23 interpretation amounts to USD12,031 thousand (December 31, 2023: USD12,880 thousand)

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 USD21,403 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.

Commitments

The Group has committed to allocate USD12.5 million to a service supplier by November 2024 and USD13.0 million by November 2025. As of June 30, 2024, USD1.7 million has already been paid.

33 Subsequent events

Management has not identified events occurred after June 30, 2024, for which, due to their materiality, additional disclosure in the Notes to the unaudited interim condensed financial statements is required.

We also recommend that you read our operating and financial review and prospects and our audited consolidated financial statements for 2023, 2022 and 2021, and the notes thereto, which appear in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In addition, we recommend that you read any public announcements made by Jumia Technologies AG as filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.

We maintain our books and records in US dollars. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to currency amounts in this discussion are in US dollars. We have made rounding adjustments to some of the figures included in this discussion and analysis. Accordingly, numerical figures shown as totals in some tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them.

The following discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including but not limited to those described under Item 3. “Key Information—D.

Overview

We are the leading pan-African e-commerce platform. Our platform consists of our marketplace, which connects sellers with customers, our logistics service, which enables the shipment and delivery of packages from sellers to customers, and our payment service, JumiaPay, which, together with its network of licensed payment service providers and other partners, facilitates transactions among participants active on our platform in selected markets.

On our marketplace, a large and diverse group of sellers offer goods across a wide range of categories, such as phones, electronics, home & living, fashion, beauty and other, including fast-moving consumer goods, to customers (i.e., consumers, retailers, distributors and other local buyers). In connection with our marketplace offering, we also engage in corporate sales, where we sell physical goods to local and regional retailers, distributors and other corporate buyers. On our JumiaPay app, we offer a number of digital lifestyle services including utility bills payment, airtime recharge, gaming and entertainment, transport ticketing as well as financial services such as micro-loans, insurance or savings products. We had 5.5 million Annual Active Customers as of June 30, 2024. We believe that the number and quality of sellers on our marketplace and the breadth of their respective offerings attract more customers to our platform, increasing traffic and orders, which, in turn, attracts even more sellers to Jumia, creating powerful network effects. Our marketplace operates with limited inventory risk, as the goods sold via our marketplace are predominantly sold by third-party sellers, meaning the cost and risk of inventory remains with the seller. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, the vast majority of the items sold through our marketplace were offered by third-party sellers.

Our logistics service, Jumia Logistics, facilitates the delivery of goods in a convenient and reliable way. It consists of a large network of leased warehouses, pick up stations for customers and drop-off locations for sellers and a significant number of local third-party logistics service providers, whom we integrate and manage through our proprietary technology, data and processes. In certain cities, where we believe it is beneficial to enhance our logistics service, we also operate our own last-mile fleet.

Our payment service, JumiaPay, has been designed to facilitate cashless online transactions between participants on our platform, with the intention of integrating additional financial services in the future. JumiaPay encompasses a number of functionalities positioning African customers, who have traditionally relied on cash, to transact in a cashless manner. JumiaPay, with its network of licensed payment service providers and other partners, provides digital payment processing on our platform allowing for a fast and secure payment experience at checkout. JumiaPay also has a dedicated payment app, the JumiaPay app, through which we offer customers a number of digital lifestyle services from a broad range of third-party service providers. As of June 30, 2024, one or more JumiaPay services were available in nine markets: Egypt, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Tunisia, Uganda and Algeria. The number of JumiaPay Transactions reached 3.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 2.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023. Total Payment Volume (“TPV”) reached $91.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, which was flat compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Ongoing efforts to streamline the user experience and the continued rollout of JumiaPay on delivery to increase cashless orders positions JumiaPay as a strong enabler of the Company’s ecommerce platform. In June 2024, Jumia terminated its 2019 commercial agreement with Mastercard Asia/Pacific. While JumiaPay will continue to accept Mastercard as a method of payment, the termination will allow Jumia to broaden and deepen its relationship with other payment services providers.

Our operations benefit from a uniform technology platform coupled with coordinated local presence. Our unified, scalable technology platform was developed by our technology and data team, which is predominantly located in Portugal and Egypt. This technology platform covers all relevant aspects of our operations, from data management, business intelligence, traffic optimization and customer engagement to infrastructure, logistics and payments. We constantly collect and analyze data to help us optimize our operations, make our customer experience more personal and relevant and enable us, selected sellers and logistics partners to make informed real-time decisions. Our local teams in each of our countries of operations have access to, and may benefit from, the centralized data collection and analytics and are empowered to use the insights gained from our platform in order to take action locally.

We remain committed to pursuing a path to profitability, focused on a combination of fundamentals-led growth, improved cash efficiency and strengthening the consumer value proposition. Annual Active Customers reached 5.5 million as of June 30, 2024, a decrease of 14.2% compared to June 30, 2023. Orders reached 9.4 million, in the six months ended June 30, 2024 an increase of 4.4% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. GMV reached $351.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, which is stable when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. In terms of financial indicators, our Operating loss decreased by 43.4% from $50.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $28.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily reflecting the impact of cost reductions over the period. Our Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased by 51.9%, from $42.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $20.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, driven by cost reductions and improved gross margins. Our Loss before tax from continuing operations increased by 3.4% from $60.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $62.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, heavily impacted by currency devaluations in Nigeria and Egypt.

(1) Annual Active Customers figures are reported “as of” the dates in the table.

(2) See “Non-IFRS and Other Financial and Operating Metrics” for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-IFRS measure, to the most directly comparable IFRS financial performance measure and an explanation of why we consider Adjusted EBITDA useful.

As of June 30, 2024, Annual Active Customers reached 5.5 million compared to 6.4 million as of June 30, 2023, driven by changes in our category mix as we shifted our focus from categories with high usage but unfavorable unit economics, particularly fast-moving consumer goods, and reduced spending on customer incentives and promotions.

Orders increased by 6.9% from 4.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to 4.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024. GMV decreased by 5.0% from $179.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $170.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to currency devaluations.

Orders increased by 4.4% from 9.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to 9.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. Despite the significant headwinds to GMV performance from foreign exchange fluctuations, GMV remained basically stable at $351.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $352.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The evolution in Orders and GMV was influenced by continued efforts to enhance and diversify Jumia’s product assortment, more efficient marketing spend and reductions in customer incentives.

Customer Incentives decreased by 17.4% from $2.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $1.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024. The percentage of Orders of physical goods benefiting from customer incentives was 27.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 31.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Customer Incentives decreased by 21.4% from $4.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $3.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The percentage of Orders of physical goods benefiting from customer incentives was 26.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 29.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

We continue to take a disciplined and targeted approach to marketing spend focused on targeting more efficient marketing channels, such as search engine optimization (“SEO”), customer relationship management (“CRM”) and relevant offline local channels while also leveraging our JForce network.

As a result of these efforts, we are attracting a stickier and higher quality customer base as evidenced by a 262 basis point year-over-year improvement in repurchase rates in the first quarter of 2024.

•Jumia’s cohort analysis indicates that 36% of new customers, who placed an order for a product or a service on our platform in the first three months ended June 30, 2024, completed a second purchase within 90 days. This represents an improvement compared to 33% of new customers from the first three months ended June 30, 2024, who reordered within 90 days.

While we had a high ratio of customer lifetime value, which represents the average revenue we earn from transactions with each of our customers over time, to customer acquisition cost, which represents the average cost of acquiring new customers, in the periods under review, we expect to incur increased marketing costs in the near-future to help support our continued efforts around customer acquisition. As such, we believe that our current metrics would not be representative of our run-rate in the near-term going forward.

TPV was at $45.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $49.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of 7.1%, largely in line with the evolution of GMV.

TPV remained basically stable at $91.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $90.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, reflecting our ongoing commitment to improving the customer experience.

JumiaPay Transactions increased by 30.8% from 1.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to 1.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, driven by higher adoption of JumiaPay on delivery as well as the implementation of cashback campaigns and incentives conducted in the second quarter of 2024.

JumiaPay Transactions increased by 40.7% from 2.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to 3.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, driven by higher adoption of JumiaPay on delivery as well as the implementation of cashback campaigns and incentives conducted in the second quarter of 2024.

Ongoing efforts to streamline the user experience and the continued rollout of JumiaPay on delivery to increase cashless orders positions JumiaPay as a strong enabler of the Company’s ecommerce platform.

_________________________

(1) Marketplace revenue is the sum of commissions, fulfillment, marketing and advertising and value-added services.

(2) Platform revenue is the sum of marketplace revenue and first-party sales.

(3) Non-platform revenue corresponds to other revenue shown in notes to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our primary sources of revenue are first-party sales and commissions, fulfillment and value added services from third-party sales.

Revenue was $36.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $44.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of 17.2%, primarily due to currency devaluations.

Revenue from first-party sales was $16.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $21.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of 23.8%, driven by lower first-party corporate sales in Egypt, and the impact of currency devaluations.

Marketplace revenue was $20.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $22.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of 10.1%, primarily due to currency devaluations, partially offset by increases in commissions from third-party corporate sales.

Revenue remained stable at $85.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $85.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Revenue from first-party sales was $38.5 million both in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Marketplace revenue remained stable at $45.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $45.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, driven by higher commissions in corporate sales to local and regional retailers, distributors and other corporate buyers in selected countries (primarily Egypt), which was partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, in particular, in the Nigerian Naira and the Egyptian Pound depreciation year-over-year.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue decreased by 29.5% from $21.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $14.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, in line with the evolution of first-party sales.

Cost of revenue decreased by 13.0% from $37.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $32.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, mostly driven by improved first-party sales margins. Cost of revenue primarily includes the purchase price of customer products sold in first-party sales. Certain expenses associated with third-party sales, such as compensation paid to sellers for lost, damaged or late delivery items, and shipping costs related to logistics services to non-sellers are also included in cost of revenue.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased by 5.7% from $22.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $21.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of GMV was nearly flat at 12.7%, when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of improved marketplace revenue margins and a reduction in spending on customer incentives offset by currency devaluations.

Gross profit increased by 10.4% from $47.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $52.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. Gross Profit as a percentage of GMV reached 15.0% compared to 13.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2023, driven by higher sales margins in first-party and third-party corporate sales and a reduction in spending on customer incentives and promotions.

Fulfillment Expense

Fulfillment expense decreased by 12.2% from $10.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $9.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, driven by the effects of currency devaluation and the implementation of optimization and cost reduction initiatives. On a per Order basis, excluding JumiaPay app orders, fulfillment expense decreased from $2.6 to $2.2.

Fulfillment expense decreased by 16.6% from $22.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $18.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, driven by the effects of currency devaluation and the implementation of optimization and cost reduction initiatives. On a per Order basis, excluding JumiaPay app orders, fulfillment expense decreased from $2.78 to $2.28.

We continuously seek to achieve greater efficiencies in our logistics chain, while improving the quality and reliability of our service and expanding our reach beyond the main urban centers.

Sales and Advertising Expense

Sales and advertising expense decreased by 19.2% from $5.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $4.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, as we continue our efforts to grow orders through supply enhancements rather than increasing marketing expenditure.

Sales and advertising expense decreased by 24.5% from $10.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $8.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, as we continue our efforts to grow orders through supply enhancements rather than increasing marketing expenditure. This led to an improvement in marketing efficiency ratios with Sales and advertising expense per Order, decreasing by 27.7% to $0.9 in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.2 in the six months ended June 30, 2023. As a percentage of GMV, Sales and Advertising expense improved from 3.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to 2.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Technology and Content Expense

Technology and content expense decreased by 18.5% from $10.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $8.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, driven by savings achieved through better management of our hosting infrastructure, operational tools, and reductions in overhead.

Technology and content expense decreased by 18.5% from $21.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $17.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, driven by savings achieved through better management of our hosting infrastructure, operational tools, and reductions in overhead. We have also relocated a broader share of our developers and tech personnel to African countries closer to our customers and sellers. As we move forward, we remain disciplined in our approach to costs in this area, while balancing the need to develop new features to improve the customer experience.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense increased by 3.7% from $18.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $19.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the release of tax provisions in the three months ended June 30, 2023, which did not recur in the three months ended June 30, 2024. This was partially offset by a decline in staff costs.

Excluding share-based compensation expense, General and administrative expense increased to $17.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $17.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023. The staff costs component of General and administrative expense, excluding share-based compensation expense, decreased by 16.6% from $9.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $7.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to reductions in headcount.

General and administrative expense decreased by 16.1% from $43.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $36.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by a significant reduction in staff costs and a reduction in headcount.

Excluding share-based compensation expense, General and administrative expense decreased to $32.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $41.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023. The staff costs component of General and administrative expense, excluding share-based compensation expense, decreased by 20.3% from $20.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $16.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to reductions in headcount.

Operating Loss

Operating loss decreased by 8.3% from $22.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $20.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily reflecting the impact of cost reductions over the period.

Adjusting our operating loss for depreciation and amortization and share-based payment expense, our Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased by 10.2% from $18.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $16.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, in line with the reduction in operating loss.

Operating loss decreased by 43.4% from $50.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $28.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily reflecting the impact of cost reductions over the period.

Adjusting our operating loss for depreciation and amortization and share-based payment expense, our Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased by 51.9% from $42.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $20.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, in line with the reduction in operating loss.

Finance Income

Finance income decreased from $2.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $0.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in foreign exchange gains.

Finance income decreased from $6.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $2.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in foreign exchange gains.

Finance Costs

Finance costs decreased from $11.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $2.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in foreign exchange losses.

Finance costs increased from $15.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $35.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase of foreign exchange losses and fair value losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, which are related to our treasury and investment portfolio management activities. These financial assets, which constitute investments in securities measured at fair value through profit or loss, incurred fair value losses of $16.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to no losses in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and were disposed of during the period.

Loss before Income Tax from Continuing Operations

Loss before income tax from continuing operations decreased by 27.1% from $30.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $22.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily reflecting the impact of cost reductions over the period in the quarter and a decrease in net foreign exchange losses.

Loss before income tax from continuing operations increased by 3.4% from $60.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $62.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly driven by the increase in finance costs. This was partially offset by increased gross profit and the impact of operating cost reductions over the period.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax benefit increased from $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the effect of deferred tax liabilities on unrealized foreign exchange gains.

Income tax expense decreased from a net benefit of $0.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to a net expense of $0.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the increase of deferred tax liabilities on unrealized foreign exchange gains.

Loss for the Year from continuing operations

Loss for the year from continuing operations decreased by 28.3% from $30.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $22.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Loss for the year from continuing operations increased by 4.4% from $60.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $62.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Constant Currency Data

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 2023 and applying them to the corresponding months in 2024, so as to calculate what our results

would have been had exchange rates remained stable from one year to the next. These calculations do not include any other macroeconomic effect such as local currency inflation effects or any price adjustment to compensate local currency inflation or devaluations. 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 certain unaudited constant currency data for selected metrics for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2024, we had a liquidity position of $92.8 million, which was comprised of $45.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $47.7 million of Term deposits and other financial assets. Most of our liquid means can be freely transferred. For a small fraction of our liquid means, we may need authorization or permits for a cross-border transfer.

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through equity issuances. We received net proceeds of $280.2 million from our April 2019 initial public offering, a concurrent private placement with

Mastercard and the issuance of shares to existing shareholders to protect them from dilution. In December 2020, we completed an equity offering, the proceeds of which, net of commissions and expenses, amounted to $231.4 million, and in March 2021, we completed another equity offering, raising proceeds, net of commissions and expenses, of $341.0 million. Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are to finance working capital, capital expenditures, which primarily consist of computer equipment, office equipment and lease-hold improvements, as well as general corporate purposes. We believe, based on our current operating plan, that our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital, capital expenditures, general corporate needs and business expansion for at least the next twelve months. While we believe that we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to cover our working capital needs in the ordinary course of business and to continue to expand our business, we may, from time to time, explore additional financing sources.

Impact of Inflation

At the end of June 30, 2024, inflation indicators reached multi-decade highs across a number of countries in which we operate, with core CPI year-over-year increases of 34% in Nigeria, from June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2024, and 33% in Egypt and 25% in Ghana from April 30, 2023 to April 30, 2024, according to IMF data and National Bureau of Statistics of Nigeria. Inflationary pressure and currency devaluations are further exacerbated by the regional conflicts with notable effects in a number of African countries such as Egypt that are dependent on the agricultural product imports from Russia and/or Ukraine. Overall, inflation levels are expected to remain elevated throughout 2024.

In the countries in which we operate, higher inflation rates have been putting significant pressure on consumer sentiment and spending power, while affecting our sellers’ ability to import and source goods. In 2024, challenges on both the supply and demand fronts negatively affected the performance of our usage indicators, GMV, Orders and Quarterly Active Customers. On the cost front, while we are experiencing inflation pressure on wages, utility and fuel, we are implementing a number of efficiency initiatives across the full cost structure to mitigate inflation impact and drive cost reduction.

Forward Looking Statements

This management’s discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this management’s discussion and analysis, 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 for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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 management’s discussion and analysis 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 management’s discussion and analysis 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 management’s discussion and analysis to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as may be required by law. You should read this management’s discussion and analysis 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.

We believe that Annual Active Customers and Quarterly Active Customers are useful indicators of the adoption of our offering by customers 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.

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

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.

We believe that the level of customer incentives is a useful indicator to measure our targeted marketing expenses related to customer discounts and vouchers.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA:

•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.

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our share-based payments, income tax expense (benefit) or the amounts necessary to pay our taxes;

•other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
