Mission, vision and strategic goals

Our Approach

11 Annual review 2012/2013 baarsma wine group holding

Business to Consumer Wijnvoordeel

Our approach is characterised by considerable investments in the Business to Consumer market in North-West

Europe. We have several labels and different propositions on the market. Wijnvoordeel is one of the most

successful labels within the Business to Consumer segment.

Within Baarsma, Wijnvoordeel specialises in the sale of wine through the internet. In 1999, Wijnvoordeel was

the first Dutch wine web shop. Recent years have seen a sensational expansion of Wijnvoordeel as a joint

effort with Baarsma, allowing it to take the leading position in the online sale of wine. Currently Wijnvoordeel

is among the 50 largest internet companies in The Netherlands. A unique achievement for a company that

specialises in wine, especially given the fact that we have to compete with players such as Wehkamp, Bol and

Zalando.

Our strength is to combine a passion for wine with a highly efficient e-commerce approach. Year on year,

innovations quickly follow each other. We maintain a continuous search for the most commercially viable wines,

which we then offer through, for example, the internet, e-mail and social media by means of high-profile

campaigns. Each customer is specifically targeted and his or her every wish catered to. This means that we do

not follow the latest trends but, rather, set them.

Thanks to its spectacular growth, Wijnvoordeel now represents a number of leading brands. Casa Safra is an

excellent example of this, but Queensland Cellars, Skoonuitsig and Pierre Baptist are also extremely popular

with the wine-buying consumer. This year, Wijnvoordeel has once again set the trend with the launch of

Goldish Noir, a red bubbly! The first wine reviewers are calling it the wine sensation of 2013.

The success of Wijnvoordeel has not been limited to the Netherlands. Both Germany and Belgium are already

showing spectacular growth results. Additionally, the innovative know-how of Wijnvoordeel is also used for

other Business Units within Baarsma. The online sale of wine opens up possibilities for the future and we are

particularly proud of the pioneering role of Baarsma in realising these possibilities.

Division of Turnover per country

Below, the division of turnover has been represented according to country, channel and brand. It shows the

long-term group strategy of growth in B2C and the growth in the sale of brands. In 2012/13, the upward trend

of increased turnover in B2C and brands was interrupted, in particular due to a drop in sales of Bordeaux wines.

It is expected for 2013/14 that the increase in these segments will return. It is also the Group’s ambition to

spread turnover over several countries. This strategy allows us to reduce the Group’s vulnerability. Additionally,

the growth in B2C and brands will result in increased and permanent profitability.

15 Annual review 2012/2013 baarsma wine group holding

General

For Baarsma Wine Group, the year under review 2012/13 was strongly influenced by the wine harvests in

Europe. Italy saw the worst harvest in over 60 years, which meant that the quantity of available wine was

drastically reduced and consequently wine prises rose by more than 20%. This had a significant impact on the

cost price of the Group’s largest brand: Canei. In an effort to limit the price increase for the consumer, it was

decided that we would pay a large part of the increased cost price ourselves. This naturally did put pressure on

the Group’s results. Furthermore, the quality of the Bordeaux harvest 2011 paled in comparison to the excellent

years of 2009 and 2010. This meant that Armit’s En-Primeur Campagne 2011 was considerably smaller in

comparison to previous years and the trade in older Bordeaux years declined drastically. The subsequent

decline, therefore, was considerable compared to last year.

On the positive side, Baarsma Wine Group was highly successful in the expansion of its B2C-activities in the

Netherlands, Belgium, Germany & Switzerland. In the B2C segment, both turnover and profitability increased

significantly. Wijnvoordeel managed to strengthen its leading position on the Dutch market and now ranks 45 in

the Twinkle top 100, the list of the largest internet companies in the Netherlands. The turnover of Wijnvoordeel

in Belgium and Germany increased significantly (by 19 %). In addition, the reorganisation of De Wijnbeurs was

completed in 2012 and De Wijnbeurs made a strong contribution to the growth of the results in B2C, in both

the Netherlands and Belgium.

The influence of the European financial crisis and the corresponding low consumer confidence was especially

felt in the Netherlands. The consumer kept a tight rein on the purse strings, which had a negative effect on

the margin mix. Consumers are price conscious. They buy cheaper wines at the supermarket or discount

wine store. In the catering industry, wine is increasingly sold per glass rather than per bottle. B2C, too, saw a

decrease in the average order size. In Switzerland, too, the market was under pressure, in particular due to the

decline in tourism resulting from the strong Swiss Franc, which has made Switzerland A relatively expensive

country to spend your holiday.

The group has implemented reorganisations at various locations within the Group in an effort to make the

company more efficient. This mainly involved combining back-offices and reducing overhead costs. The

corresponding reorganisation costs amounted to € 2.1 mln and the expected annual savings also amounted to

€ 2.1 mln.

The sale of the wines of La Tulipe, the most recent acquisition, increased by more than 10% in the year under

review. In light of the circumstances mentioned above, this is a truly remarkable performance. Consequently,

the acquisition did not fall short of expectations. The introduction of the new Slurp! wines also proved to be

highly succesful. A further strong increase in turnover of La Tulipe & Slurp! is expected for the coming years.

Against the background of the challenging market circumstances described above, the results of the Group are

satisfactory. In the year under review, the position in B2C was further expanded and the market share in the

on-trade industry increased. Despite the poor harvests and the general low consumer confidence, the Group’s

profitability remained largely the same, thus providing a solid foundation for profit recovery in 2013/2014.

Report of the Board of Directors

17 Annual review 2012/2013 baarsma wine group holding

Results

The results of the Group have decreased in comparison to last year. A turnover of € 261 mln was realised in

the year under review. A decrease of over € 26 mln, caused mainly (€ 20 mln) by the lower sales of Bordeaux

wines at Armit and the cancellation of two large wine contracts with retailers with a very low gross margin.

Additionally, the growth in turnover at B2C, La Tulipe and Hasselt Millesime and the lower turnover in the

on-trade Industry balanced each other out.

The EBITDA in particular was negatively influenced by the lower Bordeaux sales at Armit and increased pressure

on the margins within retail, especially because of the higher cost prices that could not be completely passed on

to the retailers. The margin pressure on Canei was the largest negative contributor here. The contribution from

the on-trade Industry (Oud Reuchlin & Boelen and Rutishauser) declined in comparison to last year.

The strong performance of Wijnvoordeel and Wijnbeurs had a positive influence on the EBITDA and Hasselt

Millesime (strong growth of Cava MVSA) and La Tulipe also contributed to the growth of the EBITDA.

An EBITDA of € 12.7 mln has been reported in the Financial Overview. This is after the deduction of € 2.7 mln

non-recurring costs. In particular, these costs include integration and reorganisation costs. Major items include

the combining of the customer contact centres of Wijnvoordeel and Wijnbeurs in Gorredijk, along with the

provision for the lease obligations of the former head office in Oudeschoot. The consolidated profit and loss

account closes with a net loss of € 3.3 mln. In the previous year under review, the net loss amounted to

€ 0.2 mln.

On pages 12 and 13, the division of turnover has been represented according to country, channel and brand.

It shows the long-term group strategy of growth in B2C and the growth in the sale of brands. In 2012/13, the

upward trend of increased turnover in B2C and brands was interrupted, in particular due to the aforementioned

drop in sales of Bordeaux wines. For 2012/2013, turnover in Switzerland has been reported as other turnover.

This means that a decrease has been reported in the ‘brands’ share. When corrected for this adjustment, the

division brand/other would have been 40%/60%.

This overview shows that the company shows good profitability, although the chosen financing structure

(shareholders’ loans instead of equity), the acquisition strategy and the resulting amortisation of goodwill

(the goodwill is basically maintained given the results of the company) and the non-recurring costs have put

the net result under pressure.

1) Net Operational Result is a concept that is not recognised under generally accepted Dutch accounting principles. It involves the reported net result, adjusted for normalisation items, amortised goodwill and interest charges for the subordinated shareholder’s loan. Normalisation items are income or expenditure that results from certain events or transactions that are part of normal business operations, but which must be adjusted in the reported net result because of their nature, volume or incidental occurrence. This is done in order to offer insight into the EBITDA and, more specifically, the EBITDA development.

Report of the Board of Directors

Investments

Intangible fixed assets

This item consists of goodwill, intellectual property rights, operational software and customer bases.

Because of a release of part of the goodwill reported in the previous year and amortisation amounting to

€ 3.2 mln, the item goodwill was reduced by a total of € 3.5 mln in the year under review. € 2.2 mln was

invested in intellectual property rights in the financial year. This mainly involved investments in the acquisition

of customer bases for the B2C branch and the purchase of new software. The amortisation of intellectual

property rights amounted to € 4.6 mln, so that this item was reduced by € 2.3 mln on balance.

Tangible fixed assets

In the financial year, approximately € 1 mln (2011: € 1.4 mln) was invested in tangible fixed assets. This

involved approximately € 0.4 mln of investments at Rutishauser in new machines as well as shop fixtures and

fittings. The amortisation amounted to approximately € 2.6 mln, so that the item tangible fixed assets was

reduced by approximately € 1.7 mln on balance.

Financial fixed assets

This item was reduced by approximately € 0.9 mln, which was mainly caused by lower deferred tax assets.

Operating Capital

Managing working capital control continues to be a focus point within the group. Because of the extensive

product range and the long supply lines from the wine-producing countries, it is of importance that the right

balance has to be found in terms of stock. On the one hand, timely delivery is essential for the company

but, on the other hand, too much stock means higher storage costs, less credit facilities and an increased

risk of obsolete stock. Compared to last year, stock was reduced by EUR 1.6 mln. Stock management, and

consequently the reduction of working capital, have top priority within the group. The business units are

strongly focused on improving the cash-conversion cycle. This cycle is measured continually and targets have

been agreed upon with the management of the business units to improve it even further. The following three

elements are relevant here:

1 Improving the rate of stock turnover

2 Constant credit management to keep the debtor position as low as possible

3 Optimising the terms of payment to our suppliers

The ratios of these three working capital aspects are as follows:

Report by the Board of Directors

19 Annual review 2012/2013 baarsma wine group holding

Debts to participants

Baarsma Wine Group Holding B.V. is a fully-owned subsidiary of Veenwijk Holding B.V. The equity that is

required to finance the Group’s acquisitions has been raised by Baarsma Wine Group’s parent company,

Veenwijk Holding B.V. The debt to the shareholders decreased due to the repayments that were made.

The total debt to the shareholder amounted to € 5.8 mln at the end of the financial year, which has been

fully subordinated and included in the bank guarantee capital of Baarsma Wine Group Holding B.V.

Net interest-bearing debt

The Group aims to structurally reduce the net interest-bearing debt, in order to be less vulnerable to

fluctuations in the interest and credit markets. In the financial year, the net debt position improved from

€ 43.4 mln to € 41.1 mln. Additionally, the purchase price for the acquisition of La Tulipe was paid in the

financial year.

Financial Instruments

Because of our foreign group companies, the Swiss Franc, the British Pound and South-African Rand are

important to the Group. Fluctuations in these currencies have caused changes in the foreign currency value

of the assets and liabilities of the Group compared to the Euro. Additionally, the American Dollar and the

Australian Dollar are currencies that are relevant to us because of our business activities. When buying and

selling, it is our policy to cover exchange rate risks as soon as they occur. To this end, our policy is to use

forward exchange contracts and option structures.

Given the Group’s financing structure, the interest charges are a significant cost item. Debts to credit

institutions are based on variable interest rates. In order to protect itself against large fluctuations in the

financial markets for the medium term, the Group has covered a large part of its interest-bearing debts with

interest swaps and option structures/interest caps.

In order to protect itself against credit risks, the Group has covered a large part of our debtor positions.

Given the nature of the debtors, it is not possible to insure the amounts owed by consumers. Our other debtor

positions are usually covered by our credit insurance.

The Groups uses a cash pool as protection against the liquidity risk. Given the diversity of our clients and the

agreements we have made with them, it will be fairly easy to predict the incoming cash flow. The liquidity

prognoses are consequently reliable, allowing the Group to manage the liquidity risk.

Market Developments

Wine consumption also showed a very small increase this past year. The decrease of the volumes in the

on-trade industry was counterbalanced by increased volumes in retail and B2C. Prices were put under pressure

by a shift in demand for cheaper wines. On the other hand, excise duty increases in the Netherlands, Belgium

and the United Kingdom and the cost price increases in the wine-producing countries pushed the prices up.

On balance, the average price per bottle in retail in the Netherlands stabilised around € 3.

For the next year, the Group expects a moderate development in volume and turnover. The turnover in the

on-trade industry will continue to be under pressure and will slightly increase in retail and B2C. Restoring

consumer confidence is of paramount importance when it comes to boosting the long-term positive trend

towards increased wine volumes and wine prices.

Report of the Board of Directors

20Annual review 2012/2013baarsma wine group holding

Quality

Within the Group, the concept of ‘quality’ is of paramount importance. All the wines marketed by the group

are subject to permanent quality control, using highly reputable external laboratories. Next to quality control,

great value is attached to the quality of the organisation. Various group companies have the appropriate ISO

certificates. Wine Excel and Baarsma Wines have the prominent ‘higher-level’ BRC certificate, which indicates

that our quality has also been independently reviewed.

Future Developments

Personnel and Organisation

The average number of employees decreased from 378 to 372 in the financial year. This means a decrease of

5 employees compared to last year.

Employees are key to the success of the Baarsma Wine Group. They work on the company’s continued growth

every day with passion and customer-focus. Using management development programmes, wine courses and

practical training courses, the Group continues to invest in the personal development of all its employees and,

consequently, in the growth of its organisation.

It is expected that the workforce will also decrease slightly in 2013/2014. In the next financial year, the focus

will be on a further roll-out of talent management.

Investments

Baarsma Wine Group is always looking for suitable acquisition candidates who will blend in with the Group’s

strategy. Using an accurate analysis of the markets in our target area, North-West Europe, the Group

has gained a precise insight into which acquisitions it should make and is now actively approaching these

companies.

Any acquisitions which might result from this could considerably influence the development of the balance sheet

and the profit & loss account.

When financing acquisitions, the Group’s aim is not to raise the leverage-ratio and to apply a financing structure

in which equity and external debts are combined. Additionally, the Group will continue to invest in the further

expansion of the B2C activities in order to boost the autonomous growth of these activities even further.

Report by the Board of Directors

21 Annual review 2012/2013 baarsma wine group holding

Liquidity and Solvency

During the financial year, our solvency decreased slightly from 25% to 23%. The subordinated bank loans from

participants have been included in the solvency calculation. The Group expects a slight increase in solvency

during the next year.

Apart from new acquisitions, the net interest-bearing debt will decrease, which is in line with the agreements

made with the banks.

Expected Turnover and Result

Based on the current market circumstances, the objective for 2013/2014 is to achieve an improvement of the

turnover and the EBITDA of the Group.
