NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS OF THE PERIOD
On March 29, 2023, Concentrix Corp entered into a binding put option letter agreement with certain stockholders of Webhelp Parent.
This transaction will create a leading global customer experience provider, crystallizing the ambition of the two groups to play a major role in the CX industry and further accelerate their respective development.
Pursuant to the Put Option, Concentrix Corp has committed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Marnix Lux SA for an aggregate consideration of (i) €500.0 million in cash at closing, (ii) notes with an aggregate principal amount of €700.0 million with a term of two years and bearing interest at a rate of 2% per annum, (iii) 14,861,885 shares of Concentrix and (iv) a contingent right to earn an additional 750,000 shares of Concentrix common stock if certain conditions set forth in the Share Purchase and Contribution Agreement occur, including the share price of Concentrix common stock reaching $170.00 per share within seven years from the closing of the Transaction.
The put option was exercised on June 2, 2023 and the parties have entered into a Share Purchase and Contribution Agreement on June 12, 2023. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year, subject to the approval of the regulatory authorities and fulfillment of customary closing conditions (including Concentrix’ shareholders approval).
NOTE 3 SEASONALITY
Webhelp’s revenue fluctuates with the underlying trends in its clients’ businesses and trends in the level of consumer activity. As a result, Webhelp’s margins are typically higher in the third and fourth quarters. The impact of this seasonality has been offset by Webhelp’s significant growth and geographic expansion, as well as longer term social and economic conditions and industry specific trends and conditions.
NOTE 4 CONSOLIDATION BASIS AND SCOPE
4.1 Business combinations
Acquisition of Uitblinqers
In April 2022, the Group acquired 100% of the shares of Uitblinqers, a Dutch BPO business with more than 800 employees.

The acquisition has been fully consolidated since 1 May 2022.

The transaction was settled in cash and amounted to €13.6 million (excluding €0.2 million in transaction costs). An earnout valued at €22.7 million at the acquisition date was provided for in the purchase agreement. The calculation method of earnout is based on Uitblinqers entities’ 2022 and 2023 EBITDA as defined by the purchase agreement.
The earnout has been revised by €4.7 million after the 12 months following the date of acquisition. The impact of this remeasurement has been booked through other operating income and expenses in Q2 2023.

Goodwill of €35.0 million was allocated to customer relationships (€9.1 million, excluding tax, amortized over 8 years). Residual goodwill amounted to €28.2 million is justified by the innovative student model developed by the company and the potential to scale it in other Webhelp geographies.

Acquisition of Grupo Services
On 1 August 2022, Webhelp finalized the acquisition of the Brazilian company Grupo Services employing over 9,000 people and specialized in outsourcing, digital transformation and artificial intelligence in the fields of customer service, debt collection and sales.

Webhelp holds 100% of the capital of the three companies acquired and exercises exclusive control (full consolidation).

The purchase price valued at the date of acquisition, recognized as of December 31, 2022 was 90.8 million (excluding transaction costs of €1.3 million) through:
•Cash payment of €55.0 million;
•Two earnouts estimated at a discounted value of €20.3 million at the acquisition date and to be paid between 2023 and 2027 in amounts based on Grupo Services’ entities’ 2022, 2023 and 2026 EBITDA;
•A deferred payment due in 2027, estimated at the acquisition date at a discounted value of €15.5 million.
The calculation method of earn out and deferred payment are based on EBITDA of the group acquired as defined by the purchase agreement.

During the 12 months following the date of acquisition, the fair value of the two earnouts has been revised, resulting of additional information, that Webhelp considered after that date about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. It’s mainly due to the application of specific purchase agreement’s rules in the calculation of the earn out. The increase in the purchase price of €3.3 million in Q2 2023 has been recognized in the opening balance sheet.

The table below presents the preliminary and final fair values attributed to Grupo Services’s identifiable assets and liabilities:
picture61a.jpg

Goodwill of €75.6 million was allocated mainly to customer relationships (€33.7 million, excluding tax, amortized over 9 years) and technologies (€8.2 million, excluding tax, amortized over 6 years). Provisions for contingent liabilities totaling €1.5 million relating to tax risks were also recognized in the opening balance sheet.
Residual goodwill amounted to €49.4 million mainly representing the potential synergy of using GS’ state-of-the-art voicebot technology for collection business in other Webhelp geographies.

NOTE 9 OTHER OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES
“Other operating income and expenses” breaks down as follows:
picture12a.jpg

“Other operating income and expenses” mainly comprise:
(1)amortization of customer relationships and technologies corresponding to the portion of the purchase price allocated to customer relationships and technologies contributed by the Group since 2019 and other companies since 2021 and 2022.
(2)costs related to M&A projects, acquisition of business and integration of acquired business including the remeasurement of the earnout related to Uitblinqers acquisition for €4.7 million in H1 2023
(3)transformation project costs mainly related to
-costs relating to the change in the Group’s real estate policy following the increase in remote working at various sites (€4.2 million in Q2 2023 compared with €0.3 million in Q2 2022; €6.9 million in H1 2023 compared with €2.4 million in H1 2022)
-costs for the transformation of our accounting, human resources, and reporting systems (€3.5 million in Q2 2023, €0.7 million in Q2 2022; €5.6 million in H1 2023, €1.3 million in H1 2022).
NOTE 10 NET FINANCIAL INCOME OR EXPENSES
Net financial income or expenses comprised the following components:
image_13a.jpg
(1)Interest expense mainly comprised interest paid quarterly on the senior loan; loan issuance costs and amortization of these costs using the effective interest rate method; and financial costs on undrawn credit facilities. The increase during the six-months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in interest expenses related to Webhelp’s senior loan as a result of general increases of variable reference rates (Euribor, SONIA and SOFR indexes).
(2)In accordance with IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”, remeasurements of non-monetary items and income and expense items of the Turkish companies during the three and six-months ended June 30, 2023, were offset against respectively a €0.6 and €1.9 million loss on net monetary position in profit or loss compared with €1.7 million loss for six-months ended June 30, 2022.

Marnix Lux SA     Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2023 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022
(3)The foreign exchange loss was mainly due to the unrealized foreign exchange loss from the intercompany loans denominated in currency different than the functional currency of the lender or the borrower.

NOTE 11 INCOME TAX
The interim period income tax expense is accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings, i.e. the estimated average annual effective income tax rate applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period in accordance with IAS 34.
Based on the best projection at the following dates, Webhelp applied a group effective tax rate to recognize income tax as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023 of 24.0% and 32.1% respectively, on the profit before tax and share-based compensation. As of June 30, 2022, the group effective tax rate has not been applied to the impact of the remeasurements of non-monetary items and income and expense items of the Turkish companies under IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” as the impact was not material.
The increase in the group effective tax rate is mainly due to a higher proportion of financial interests concerned by the limitation of deductibility, and the non-recognition of deferred tax assets on some operating losses.
NOTE 12 GOODWILL
The breakdown of goodwill was as follows:
picture13a.jpg

At 30 June 2023, the Group’s goodwill amounted to €2,118.7 million, compared with €2,117.5 million at 31 December 2022 due to:
(1)the completion of the goodwill allocation of Grupo Services detailed in Note 4.1 “Business combination”
(2)the effect of currency translation on goodwill related to Dynamicall, OneLink and Grupo Services acquisitions.
Webhelp didn’t recognize any impairment of goodwill as of 31 December 2022 and 30 June 2023.

picture121a.jpg
NOTE 15 MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISK
Due to its activities, the Group is exposed to various types of financial risk:
•market risk: foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk,
•credit and counterparty risk, and
•liquidity risk.
15.1 Credit risk
The Group does not believe that there is a significant potential impact arising from credit risk due to the high credit rating of the Group’s counterparties.
15.2 Interest rate risk
The Webhelp Group manages its own interest rate and foreign exchange risk. Webhelp takes no speculative positions.
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk arises mainly from its variable-rate debt, taken out in connection with GBL’s majority investment in November 2019, which was extended in July 2021 for the OneLink acquisition.
15

Marnix Lux SA     Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2023 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022
To manage exposure to interest rate increases, in Q4 2022 the Webhelp group set up interest rate hedges to convert a portion of variable-rate debt payments to fixed-rate payments. The overall fair value of these hedges, which are classified as cash flow hedges in IFRS, is €10.6 million as of June 30, 2023. The fair value is recognized in full under shareholders’ equity due to the effective nature of the hedge.
•GBP hedging: an interest rate swap was set up based on a notional amount of GBP 75 million to pay a fixed interest rate (swap rate) of 3.865% and receive a variable rate equal to the Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA), with a floor of 0%. No premium was paid for the purchase of the floor as the latter was incorporated into the swap’s fixed interest rate.
•EUR hedging: cap spread strategy [2.50 – 4.50%] based on a notional principal amount of €100 million, maturing in July 2025, and two collars (purchase of a cap with a strike rate of 3% and sale of floor at 1.75%) based on an aggregate notional principal amount of €200 million, maturing in July 2025. Webhelp SAS is required to pay a total premium of €2.6 million according to a contractual schedule.
•USD hedging: collar strategy based on a notional amount of USD 200 million (purchase of an interest rate cap of 4% and sale of an interest rate floor at 1.15%), plus the purchase of an interest rate floor of 0.50% reflecting the floor in the hedged item. Webhelp SAS paid a premium of USD 1.2 million in 2022.
Regarding sensitivity:
•Theoretically, a 100 basis point rise in the 3-month Euribor would generate approximately €13 million in additional interest expense per year. However, Webhelp has hedged a portion of its risk with collars and cap spreads. The 3-month EURIBOR was 3.058% at 30 June 2023, so a 100 basis point rise would generate €10.7 million in additional interest expense. Conversely, a 100 basis point decrease would generate an interest expense decrease of approximately €10 million.
•Theoretically, a 100 basis point rise in the SONIA would generate approximately GBP 1.3 million in additional financial expense, excluding the effect of currency translation. However, Webhelp has hedged a portion of its risk with an interest rate swap. As the SONIA was 4.93% at 30 June 2023, a 100 basis point rise would generate GBP 0.5 million in additional interest expense. Conversely, a 100 basis point decrease would generate an interest expense decrease of GBP 0.5 million.
•Theoretically, a 100 basis point rise in the SOFR would generate approximately USD 3.5 million in additional interest expense, excluding the effect of currency translation. However, Webhelp has hedged a portion of its risk with collars. The SOFR was 5.09% at 30 June 2023, so a 100 basis point rise would generate USD 1.7 million in additional interest expense. Conversely, a 100 basis point decrease would generate a decrease of USD 1.7 million in interest expense.
15.3 Foreign exchange risk
With regard to foreign exchange risk, transactions carried out by Webhelp are denominated, whenever possible, in the same currency as the functional currency of the entity undertaking the transaction. The foreign exchange risk arises from intercompany transaction between offshore contact centers and commercial entities who billed the customers. To hedge this transactional currency risk, Webhelp uses currency forwards and non-deliverable forwards. In compliance with IFRS 9, the hedging relationship has been classified as a cash flow hedge. As of June 30, 2023, an aggregate fair value of -€1.6 million was recognized on the balance sheet with offsetting entries of -€1.5 million in other comprehensive income and -€0.1 million in income statement respectively.

Marnix Lux SA     Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2023 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022
picture10a.jpg
The Group’s exposure to foreign exchange rate risk arises also from the portion of its variable-rate debt denominated in GBP and USD. The following sensitivity testing did not show any major risk: at 30 June 2023, a 1,000 basis point rise or fall in the euro (to the GBP and USD) would only have a limited effect on the Group’s net debt, estimated at -2.4% and +2.9%, respectively.
15.4 Liquidity risk
Webhelp’s cash forecasts between the drawdown date and the date of repaying debt should allow the Group to honor its repayments when they fall due.
To manage its non-current financial liabilities as well as the debt that it has taken on with regard to its suppliers and other creditors, at 30 June 2023, the Group had €311.8 million in net cash and cash equivalents including €164.2 million of restricted cash related to LogBox liabilities at Webhelp Payment Services (see Note 18 “Cash and debt”) and €343.7 million in available credit lines at 30 June 2023, comprised of the following:
picture91a.jpg
At 31 December 2022, the Group had €340.0 million in net cash and cash equivalents including €176.2 million of restricted cash related to Logbox liabilities at Webhelp Payment Services (see Note 18 “Cash and debt”) and €356.7 million in available credit lines comprised of the following:
picture8a.jpg
On the basis of currently available information and the various scenarios projected by Management, the Group has the financial capacity to meet its financing requirements for the next 12-month period. The revolving credit facility has an expiry date of more than one year. The Group believes that it is not exposed to liquidity risk.
