4 1. MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY 1.1. MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY VIEO is active in the telecommunication business through Lebara Mobile, the main operating subsidiary of Lebara Group ( Lebara ). Prior to the acquisition of Lebara by Palmarium, Lebara employed a push sales strategy in which commissions were paid to wholesalers and retailers who, in turn, discount the face value of the product for onward sale to the end consumer. The focus on investment in commissions restricted to some degree investment in product competitiveness and marketing. The net effect is that high volumes of sales resulted in high customer churn. During Q2, the rebalancing of sales and marketing has begun to show success with a return to customer base growth. While the ARPU remain stable, the gross margin improved thanks to improved MNO terms. In April, VIEO announced the sale of Lebara Play which has had immediate positive impact to earnings. The migration of the Lebara Play customer base to the new owners began in the quarter and has was successfully completed in mid- May. In addition the Lebara Money product was replaced by a partnership with a third party remittance service provider. This move marks the closing down of Lebara Digital business Financial Review VIEO is a holding company whose operations are run by Lebara Group and includes the mobile and non-mobile operations of Lebara Mobile B.V., Lebara Service Centre Limited and Lebara Digital Group B.V. Lebara Digital Group B.V. includes Lebara Media Services Ltd. LEBARA DIGITAL GROUP Lebara Digital comprises only of Lebara Media Services after Lebara Talk was shut down in December 2017 and Lebara Money operations have ceased in April In the second quarter Digital products generated nil revenue and an EBITDA loss of 0.3m which included the non-mobile operations of Lebara Money. The impact of these Digital Businesses is expected to amount to 1.2m negative EBITDA in 2018, with no impact on LEBARA MOBILE GROUP FINANCIAL RESULTS During Q2 2018, Lebara Mobile Group s consolidated revenue for the quarter increased by 5% reaching 112.6m, but declined by 15.4% compared to Q for the same reason as stated during Q While the gross margin increased to 29.5% in Q from 25.5% in Q2 2017, the gross margin decreased versus Q due to the increasing average customer data usage driving MNO costs upwards. As a result, the EBITDA for the second quarter amounting to 14.0m decreased Vs Q The EBITDA increased by 2.1m versus Q despite a smaller customer base. COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE Competition remains the same as reported in the previous quarter. TRADING PERFORMANCE At the end of June, the customer base was 2.8m, an increase of 54k since March. Customer base growth has been particularly strong in the UK, Spain and the Netherlands following the introduction of stronger propositions towards the end of Q1, which include larger voice and data allowances, including international calling. VIEO B.V. Interim condensed financial report 2nd Quarter 2018 Page 4

5 Customer churn continues to stabilize in Q to 13.7%, down from 13.8% in Q and 17.5% in Q In Germany, the customer base continued to decline by 29% when comparing Q to Q However, for the same period, the ARPU increase offset the customer base decline at the gross margin level. AVERAGE REVENUE PER USER Overall, ARPU has approximately stable year-on-year, moving from 11.6 for Q to 11.7 for Q2 2018, though the picture varies by country. Germany continues to achieve improved ARPU by 17% year on year. ARPU in Euros Germany Denmark Spain France UK Netherlands Operating Countries Q2'17 Q2'18 GROSS MARGIN Total gross margin was 30%, up from 26% in the same quarter last year. The reported margin at Lebara Mobile Group level is slightly lower than the operating countries as it also includes a lower margin on the carrier wholesale business plus some margin contribution from joint ventures. At the operating country level, gross margin reduced Vs Q as a result of the increasing average customer data usage driving MNO costs upwards. Gross margins improved to 35% year on year from 28% in Q Gross Margin Percentage 56% 32% 30% 44% 40% 22% 24% 16% 8% 23% 35% 47% 35% 28% Germany Denmark Spain France UK Netherlands Operating Countries Q2'17 Q2'18 VIEO B.V.

6 MOBILE NETWORK OPERATOR STATUS During Q2, another MNO negotiation was successfully concluded, adding to the two concluded during Q Negotiations for updated commercial terms take place (approximately) annually. The result of those negotiations enables Lebara to compete more effectively with more data allowance and improved rates. PERSONNEL AND ORGANISATION Lebara Group headcount reduced by 62 to 503 during the quarter, of which 448 were at Lebara Mobile Group level and the remaining 55 in Lebara Service Centre and Lebara Digital. OPERATIONAL ENHANCEMENTS During Q2 2018, Lebara continues to focus on improving customer service and its propositions. 1.2m has been invested in CAPEX with the main investment areas being Post Pay, the Lebara Retail portal, improved Customer Management system and upgrades relating to network platforms Factors and Risk Management Vieo Group s operations contain certain risks that could have an impact on earnings and profitability or its financial position. These risks can be divided into industry, operational and financial risks including regulatory and competitive risks. Please refer to the 2017 annual financial statements for a comprehensive discussion of the Group s risks and risk management procedures Outlook Management maintain a positive outlook for the Group, with continued progress on cost savings initiatives and the implementation of its strategy for the rest of 2018 and into The Group is confident that it will meet all obligations under its Bond Terms, including the financial covenant COMPLIANCE REPORT As of the Effective Date of the Written Resolution the Financial Covenants are disapplied for the Q and Q1 to Q periods, therefore there is no reference in these interim financial statements to the Q Compliance Report INVESTOR RELATIONS During Q1 and Q2, the Group did not publish its interim report within 60 days after the end of the reporting period and as a result breached on the Bond terms. Discussions with the bondholders regarding the breach was finalized with a Written Resolution approved by the bondholders on 12 December 2018 which contains amendments to certain Bond Terms.

12 3.5. NOTES TO THE VIEO B.V. INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Reporting Entity VIEO B.V. (the Company ) is a company domiciled in the Netherlands. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements ( interim financial statements ) as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2018 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group ). The Group is primarily active in the telecommunication business Basis of preparation These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all disclosures that would otherwise be required in a complete set of financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2017 annual report (issued 21 December 2018). The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. All financial information presented in Euros have been rounded to the nearest thousand (EUR 000), unless otherwise stated. These financial statements have not been audited or reviewed by our external auditor. The company has been incorporated on 21 August 2017, therefore it is not able to compare the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the reporting period with the previous year. For comparison purpose the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income includes the results for the period as of incorporation to year-end (31 December 2017). These interim condensed financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company s board of directors on 21 December Significant accounting policies VIEO B.V. (hereinafter stated as VIEO or the Group ) has applied the same accounting policies and methods of computation in its interim consolidated financial statements as in its 2017 annual financial statements, except for those that relate to new standards and interpretations effective for the first time beginning for the reporting period beginning on 1 January 2018, and will be adopted in the 2018 annual financial statements. New standards impacting the Group that will be adopted in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 and which have given rise to changes in the Group s accounting policies are: IFRS 9 Financial Instruments; and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers Details of the impact these two standards have had are given below. Other new and amended standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB that will apply for the first time in the next annual financial statements are not expected to impact the Group as they are either not relevant to the Group s activities or require accounting which is consistent with the Group s current accounting policies. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments IFRS 9 has replaced IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The group has chosen not to restate comparatives on adoption of IFRS 9, but has chosen to use the modified retrospective approach. VIEO B.V. Interim condensed financial report 2nd Quarter 2018 Page 12

13 The adoption of IFRS 9 has not had a significant effect on the Group s accounting policies related to financial assets and liabilities and derivatives. Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities The following table explain the original measurement categories under IAS 39 and the new measurement categories under IFRS 9 for each class of the Group s financial assets as at 1 January In note Original classification under IAS 39 Financial assets Equity investment Deposits Trade and other receivables Cash and cash equivalents Total financial assets a b Designated as at FVTPL Loans and receivables Loans and receivables Loans and receivables New classification under IFRS 9 Designated as at FVTPL Original carrying amount under IAS 39 New carrying amount under IFRS 9 2,217 2,217 Amortised cost 2,895 2,895 Amortised cost 74,504 74,504 Amortised cost 31,130 31, , ,746 a. Under IAS 39, these equity investments were designated as at FVTPL because they were managed on a fair value basis and their performance was monitored on this basis. These assets have been classified as measured at FVTPL under IFRS 9, which is the default classification for equity investments under IFRS 9. b. Trade and other receivables that were classified as loans and receivables under IAS 39 are now classified at amortised cost. The impairment model IFRS 9 replaces the incurred loss model in IAS 39 with an expected credit loss (ECL) model. The new impairment model applies to financial assets measured at amortised cost and contract assets. The financial assets at amortised cost consist of deposits, trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs: deposits and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition. The Group measures loss allowances for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The impairment provision on financial assets measured at amortised cost have been calculated in accordance with IFRS 9 s incurred loss provision, which differs from the incurred loss model previously required by IAS 39. This has not resulted in an adjustment to the impairment provision at 1 January 2018 from that previously reported of 239 thousand. VIEO B.V. Interim condensed financial report 2nd Quarter 2018 Page 13

14 Impact of the new impairment model Loss allowance at 31 December 2017 under IAS Deposits - Trade and other receivables (2) Contract assets - Cash and cash equivalents - Loss allowance at 1 January To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The contract assets relate to subscriber acquisition costs and do not have credit risk. The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 36 month (of the Lebara group) and the corresponding normalised historical credit losses experienced within this period. These historical credit losses are adjusted to reflect the normalised lifetime expected loss rates (at VIEO group level) due to the 3.5 month period as of acquisition date (14 September 2017) to 31 December The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The group has identified the GDP as the most relevant factor, and accordingly adjusts the historical loss rates based on expected changes in this factor. On that basis, the loss allowance as at 1 January 2018 (on adoption of IFRS 9) was determined as follows for trade receivables: Current Overdue between 0 and 30 days Overdue between 30 and 120 days Overdue by more than 120 days Total Expected loss rate 0.06% 0.00% 1.33% 5.02% Gross carrying amount in 26,656 2, ,359 34,130 Loss allowance in The loss allowances increased by 92 thousand to 329 thousand for trade receivables during the six months to 30 June The mutation in the loss allowance would not have been materially different under the incurred loss model of IAS 39. Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the group, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due. The transition to IFRS 9 has had no material effect on the Group, therefore no changes are processed at the date of initial application (i.e. 1 January 2018), and presented in the statement of changes in equity for the 6 months to 30 June VIEO B.V. Interim condensed financial report 2nd Quarter 2018 Page 14

15 IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers IFRS 15 has replaced IAS 18 Revenue and IAS 11 Construction Contracts as well as various Interpretations previously issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee. It has impacted the Group in the following ways: Contract assets (/subscriber acquisition costs) ( 8.9 million positive). Contract liabilities (/deferred revenue) ( 7.3 million negative). The Group has adopted IFRS 15 using the modified retrospective approach, with the effect of initially applying this standard recognised at the date of initial application (i.e. 1 January 2018). The cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 15 has been recognised as a positive adjustment of 1.6 million to the opening balance of retained earnings at 1 January 2018, with no restatement of comparative information. Had the group continued to report in accordance with IAS 18 for the 6 months ended 30 June 2018, it would have reported the following amounts in these financial statements: Impact of accounting standards to be applied in future periods There are a number of standards and interpretations which have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board that are effective for periods beginning subsequent to 31 December 2018 (the date on which the Company s next annual financial statements will be prepared up to) that the Group has decided not to adopt early. The most significant of these is IFRS 16 Leases (mandatorily effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). The Group has progressed further its projects dealing with the implementation of this key new accounting standard in the past 6 months, but has not yet completed its detailed assessment. IFRS 16 Leases IFRS 16 replaces IAS 17 Leases and sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both the lessee and the lessor. It eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases and introduces a single lessee accounting model where the lessee is required to recognise assets and liabilities for all material leases that have a term of greater than a year. The standard requires lessees to VIEO B.V. Interim condensed financial report 2nd Quarter 2018 Page 15

16 recognise a right of use asset and a liability for future payments arising from a lease contract. Lessor accounting requirements remain aligned to the current approach under IAS 17. Transition VIEO has completed an initial assessment of the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements but has not yet completed its detailed assessment. The actual impact of applying IFRS 16 on the financial statement in the period of initial application will depend on future economic conditions, including VIEO s borrowing rate at 1 January 2019, the composition of the lease portfolio at that date, the latest assessment of whether it will exercise any lease renewal options and the extent to which VIEO choses to use the practical expedients and recognition exemptions. Transition VIEO plans to apply IFRS 16 initially on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 16 (if any) will be recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at 1 January 2019, with no restatement of comparative information. VIEO is assessing the potential impact of using several practical expedients on transition Use of estimates and judgements There have been no material revisions to the nature and estimates of amounts reported in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 except where the implementation of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 requires a different approach to the accounting previously applied. Significant estimates and judgements that have been required for the implementation of these new standard are: Estimating the lifetime losses of short-term trade receivables for the purposes of IFRS 9 s expected credit loss model. Estimating the amount of variable consideration under IFRS 15 for which it is highly unlikely there would be a significant future reversal in the future. Assessing whether goods and services identified in some of the Group s contracts are distinct within the context of the contract and, to the extent they are, estimating the standalone selling prices for the purposes of allocating the transaction price on a relative stand-alone basis to the performance obligations identified. Treatment of sales commission costs for obtaining customers. Under IFRS 15, the sales commissions are capitalised and depreciated over the expected contract term. The Group has not elected to apply the practical expedient approach and have capitalised and amortised subscriber acquisition costs incurred to obtain a contract over average customer tenure that qualify for capitalisation Significant events and transactions Remedy reporting VIEO B.V. interim reporting 2017 During the first quarter of 2018, the Group breached on the Bond terms in which it is stated that the interim reporting must be published within 60 days after the end of the reporting period. The company agreed with the bondholders to publish a remedy report covering the interim reporting of 2017 and remedied the breach in Q Furthermore, reference is made to note for subsequent events regarding the (interim) reporting of Seasonality of operations The Group s operations are subject to seasonality mainly resulting from sales to tourists and migrant workers, both groups which tend to peak in the summers months. Group sales will be the highest in the third quarter and will be the lowest in the fourth quarter. The first and second quarter are not materially influenced by seasonality. VIEO B.V. Interim condensed financial report 2nd Quarter 2018 Page 16

17 Impairment testing of goodwill During the reporting period, the Group did not update the impairment testing performed as per 31 December 2017, because there are no indications there are changes in circumstances. Sale of the Lebara Play business On 7 May 2018, the Company agreed with the previous shareholder of the Lebara Group the final settlement of the sale of the play business, amounting to 2.8 million. Refer to note for further details. Other significant transactions During the reporting period VIEO did not have other significant transactions and/or other significant events that should be reported Segment reporting Segment reporting for the reporting period Note: international carrier costs have been included as UK costs, as incurred. For the purposes of management commentary these costs have been allocated to each country based on usage. VIEO B.V. Interim condensed financial report 2nd Quarter 2018 Page 17

Consequently, the issued Bonds are classified as current liabilities. Refer to note for further details Other liabilities (non-current) 30 June December 2017 "Share-in-Success -scheme 7,409 7,373 Closing balance 7,409 7,373 Share in Success scheme Other liabilities (non-current) relate to the remaining 50% of the Share in Success scheme, which is part of the PPA. The SPA between the Company and the seller stipulated that qualifying (former) employees of the Lebara Group B.V. shall be granted a special bonus in an amount specified by the sellers under the conditions of the Lebara Share in Success incentive plan. Lebara s original Share in Success incentive plan was replaced by a newly committed liability of the Group to pay 50% of the discretionary bonus ( 7.5 million) 6 months subsequent to the business combination and the remaining 50% ( 7.5 million) 24 months subsequent to the business combination, which has been discounted as per balance sheet date. There are no further conditions to this incentive plan. There are no post-acquisition compensation costs. VIEO B.V. Interim condensed financial report 2nd Quarter 2018 Page 21

Deferred consideration The deferred consideration relates to the Dutch Tax claim of 5.2 million and the Australian claim of 4.2 million. The Australian claim has been settled during the reporting period. The amount of the Dutch Tax refund claim will be paid out after this claim has been (finally) settled with the respective tax authority Derivatives 30 June December 2017 Foreign exchange forward contract asset Closing balance derivative assets Foreign exchange forward contract liability - 1,134 Embedded derivative ( zero floor ) 3,377 3,448 Closing balance derivative liabilities 3,377 4,582 Embedded derivative ( zero floor ) The movement during the reporting period is as follows: Opening balance as at 1 January ,448 Fair value gain to the statement of profit or loss during the period (71) Closing balance 3,377 VIEO B.V. Interim condensed financial report 2nd Quarter 2018 Page 22

23 The embedded derivative is linked to the bonds, and is therefore payable on demand, refer to notes and for further details. Approximately 1.1 million of the balance as at 30 June 2018 is short term. The fair value of the zero floor was determined by using the Reuters option pricing model. The unobservable input includes the volatility of the 3-month Euribor rate, forward rates in line with the curve and the EONIA curve for discounting (market practice) Fair values Interest rate risk The Senior Secured Callable Bonds issued by the Group bear interest of Euribor %, subject to a zero floor for the Euribor. Movements in the market interest rates impact both the interest expenses and the fair value of the floor. The zero floor is accounted for as an embedded derivative. Movements in the interest rates impact the fair value of the derivative. An increase of 100bps in Euribor would have increased the interest expense for the period by 0.7 million and would have resulted in a fair value gain on the interest rate floor of 2.9 million (impact on income after tax: gain of 1.6 million). A decrease of 100bps in Euribor would have resulted in a loss on the interest rate floor of 11.0 million (impact on income after tax: loss of 8.2 million). Fair value hierarchy The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique: Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities Level 2: other techniques for which inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly Level 3: techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data. There s been no change in the classification and fair value hierarchy of financial assets and financial liabilities during the reporting period. There s been no change in the valuation methods used during the reporting period, besides for the embedded derivative for which this reporting period the Reuters option pricing model has been used (2017: Bloomberg option pricing model). The Group s embedded derivative (zero floor) is a level 3 financial instrument. The fair value of the zero floor was determined by using the Reuters option pricing model. The unobservable input includes the volatility of the 3-month Euribor rate, forward rates in line with the curve and the EONIA curve for discounting (market practice). Refer to paragraph interest rate risk for the sensitivity of the embedded derivative. The Group s investment (Etihad) of 2.2 million is a level 3 financial instrument. The fair value of the investments was determined by using a discounted cash flow model. Significant unobservable inputs as at 30 June 2018 include the Weighted Average Cost of Capital ( WACC of 11.8%) and terminal growth rate (2.0%). The growth rate and the WACC are not interrelated. A reasonably possible change in the growth rate of +/- 1.0% would result in: An increase in carrying value of 320 thousand (+1.0%) A decrease in the carrying value of 260 thousand (-1.0%) VIEO B.V. Interim condensed financial report 2nd Quarter 2018 Page 23

24 A reasonably possible change in the WACC of +/- 1.0% would result in: A decrease in carrying value of 219 thousand (+1.0% An increase in the carrying value of 268 thousand (-1.0%) Carrying Amount versus Fair Value The group considers that the carrying amount of the following financial assets and financial liabilities are a reasonable approximation of their fair value: Trade and related party receivables Cash and cash equivalents Finance lease liabilities Other liabilities (current) Trade and other payables (in ) As at 30 June 2018 At 31 December 2017 Carrying amount Carrying amount Fair value Fair value Financial assets Financial assets 5,097 5,097 5,112 5,112 Derivatives Foreign exchange contracts ,600 5,600 5,112 5,112 Financial liabilities Bonds, including the embedded derivative (zero floor) 340, , , ,250 Derivatives Foreign exchange contracts - - 1,134 1, , , , ,384 Based on quoted price (level 1), the fair value of the bonds (including the embedded floor) on the reporting date was million, however, due to the breach of covenant (refer to note for more details), the bonds became payable on demand and therefore in accordance with IFRS their fair value (including the embedded floor) is not less than the amount payable on demand, discounted from the first date that the amount could be required to be paid. This amount is determined to be million, calculated by discounting the redemption value and accrued interest over a period of 60 days from the reporting date.
