Even more encouragingly is the cohort analysis. This shows that even the
customers acquired during COVID have remained very sticky indeed
underpinning our confidence in the group’s customer acquisition strategy.

And this translates to sector leading paybacks and very strong margins from

Increase in new partnerships this year


Over the past year Virgin Wines partnered with over 350 trusted brands to
drive over 65% of new customer acquisition.
 Several new partnerships were agreed during the year such as the i
newspaper, Priority from O2, Currys and The Rail Delivery Group. These
new initiatives have helped customer acquisition numbers increase 37%
YOY over Q4 of FY22 and with a strong pipeline of further partnerships to
come in 2023.
 Post balance sheet sign up of a significant new partner – The group
signed up Saga plc to exclusively launch and operate a co-branded wine
proposition for all Saga members. With such strong brand affinity, a
perfect demographic profile and ambitious expectations around the scale
of the partnership, we are confident surrounding its potential

Commercial operations ramping up


Following the reopening of the economy, the group has seen trade with its
travel partners ramp up. Both LNER and Avanti are key partners and during
the year has also added Great Western Railway to its portfolio.

 FY22 has also seen the launch of a partnership with Moonpig, which has
developed substantially over the year. We are proud to be partnering with
such an innovative and like-minded business and our ‘Virgin Wines at
Moonpig’ initiative has proved extremely successful.
 There are now over 70 SKU’s listed with a significant growth potential
 The corporate gifting service grew +18% YoY
Gross margins - Despite the impact of inflation on inbound freight, packaging
and delivery costs, average gross profit as a percentage of revenue held
relatively steady. FY22 31.4%, FY21 31.6% and FY20 30.3%.

Adjusted EBITDA
The group achieved an EBITDA post IFRS of £6.2m, a 11% decrease from the
prior year but up 130% on a three-year basis (FY21: £7m, FY19: £2.7m) which
is a more meaningful comparison based on normalised pre-Covid trading
patterns. The fall reflects an increase investment in new customer acquisition
and the more challenging trading conditions. As a percentage of revenue,
Adjusted EBITDA was 9.0% (FY21: 9.5%; FY20: 8.5%).

Cash and working capital


The Group end of year cash balance for FY22 was £15.1m (FY21: £15.7m). om
These balances include cash deposits from WineBank customers of FY22
£7.4m (FY21: £7.3m). This cash is not used to fund working capital and is a li .c
