Hamburg, November 2014 Dear Shareholders and Friends of TOM TAILOR, The TOM TAILOR GROUP made good progress in the first nine months of the year. We concentrated on raising profitability while pursuing our growth strategy. Between January and September, we significantly increased our recurring and also reported EBITDA at Group level by over 20 % and 50 %, respectively. Both of our brands contributed to this positive development. At the same time, the Group’s gross margin improved from 54.7 % in the prior-year period to 56.8 %. We also made visible progress with our BONITA brand, which became substantially more profitable. By significantly scaling back sales campaigns, we increased the quality of revenue, even though this led to a temporary dip in revenue from BONITA overall. Moreover, we source the vast majority of our goods through our own purchasing organisation in Asia, which enabled the brand to lift its gross margin by 4.9 percentage points to 67.0 % and more than double its reported EBITDA. The higher share of consolidated revenue accounted for by Retail sales, our clear focus on revenue quality and the bundling of our purchasing volumes are also having a positive effect on the bottom line: after the first nine months of 2014, we have returned to profitability and are reporting positive net income for the period of EUR 1.8 million. In addition to improving our earnings power, we still have our growth trajectory firmly in our sights. Revenue rose by 3.5 % in the nine-month period to EUR 679 million – growth which can be attributed to our TOM TAILOR brand in particular. Up by 9 %, this brand’s revenue compensated for the anticipated decrease in revenue from the BONITA brand. However, like the entire German textile industry, we were hampered by a strong headwind in the third quarter. The extreme weather conditions led to very erratic demand among clothing retailers, which closed the quarter down 4 %. While our TOM TAILOR wholesale segment successfully defended its position in this exceedingly difficult environment, our retail business failed to fully absorb this high volatility. As a result, we were unable to sustain the strong momentum of the first half of the year without interruption and now estimate that growth for 2014 as a whole will fall marginally short of the targets set at the beginning of the year. Accordingly, we have revised our forecast for 2014 downwards slightly and now expect consolidated revenue in the range of EUR 925 million to EUR 935 million and a recurring EBITDA margin of 9.2 % to 9.7 %. We are optimistic about the remaining weeks of this year: with our two strong brands, enhanced processes and highly motivated teams, we intend to exploit the forthcoming Christmas season to the full.

I n t e r i m M a n a g e m e n t Re p o r t Report on Expected Developments 24 REPORT ON EXPECTED DEVELOPMENTS The TOM TAILOR GROUP now generates more than one-third of its revenue outside Germany, mostly in other European countries.

Against this background, the upturn on the labour market seen up to now is hardly likely to continue. The number of people in gainful employment will increase only negligibly. According to this forecast, the consumer spending of private households will increase by 0.8 % in real terms this year, the same rate as in the previous year. A slight acceleration to 1.4 % in real terms is projected for 2015.

Moreover, the forecast assumes that stocks will rise further up to the end of the 2014/15 season and that the price erosion will continue. In the middle of the season, a price of 64 US cents per pound (spread: 58–70 US cents) is expected, around 20 % less than in the 2013/14 season. The International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC), a government-related consultancy institute of the ten largest cotton-producing countries, estimates that cotton prices in 2014/15 will fall to their lowest level in six years.

The year-on-year increase in profitability is expected to come mainly from the planned increase in revenue, an increase in the share of the Group’s total revenue generated by the Retail business and an overall improvement in the gross margin. The Management Board continues to expect significant rise in profitability in the BONITA segment. Given this increase in profitability, the Management Board expects a positive effect on operating cash flow. In light of the planned investments of around EUR 25 million for 2014, the Management Board is anticipating a low double-digit million euro reduction in net debt. The TOM TAILOR GROUP is also planning to reach its goal of an equity ratio of 30 % in 2014. I n t e r i m M a n a g e m e nt Re p o r t Report on Expected Developments 27 OVERALL ASSESSMENT OF EXPECTED DEVELOPMENTS BY THE MANAGEMENT BOARD In the opinion of TOM TAILOR Holding AG’s Management Board, the Group is developing positively, among other things because the Company basically performed well in the first nine months of 2014. This development shows that the measures implemented at BONITA by the Management Board at the end of 2013 to stabilise business development and lift profitability are beginning to take effect. The Management Board is not only expecting to put BONITA on track for profitable growth once more, but also to further increase TOM TAILOR’s profitability. The forecast for the remainder of 2014 takes into account all currently known events that could influence business developments at the TOM TAILOR GROUP. However, actual business performance could differ from the forecasts due to political and economic developments or the impact of the weather – factors that the Group cannot predict or influence in any way. Detailed information about the forecasts for 2014 can be found from page 61 of the 2013 Annual Report. With the exception of the revised guidance, the statements made there continue to apply without modification.
