under the slogan “BONITA gibt es nur bei BONITA” (“You can

only get BONITA at BONITA”). Demographic trends with an
increasing number of people over 40, combined with less
intensive competition in this market segment, offer BONITA
substantial growth opportunities.
The TOM TAILOR brand launched its new brand image in
August 2014. By pushing its core brand in a new direction,
TOM TAILOR is positioning itself as a “new urban player”
in keeping with its new slogan: “Life is a game, play it,
be confident, dress in style”. From now on, the twelve
TOM TAILOR collections each year will be divided into three
high-class lifestyle worlds that reflect the new spirit of the
brand: Authentic Urban Wear, College Sports and Contemporary Urban Style. The TOM TAILOR MEN, and TOM TAILOR
WOMEN as well as TOM TAILOR KIDS, TOM TAILOR MINIS and
TOM TAILOR BABY lines will cater to the target groups from
0 to 40 years.
The premium sportswear brand is targeted at men and
women aged 25 to 40. Its ten collections a year feature
elaborate embroidered appliqués, classic emblems and
coordinating prints for a sporty style.

TOM TAILOR Denim comprises the TOM TAILOR Denim Male
and TOM TAILOR Denim Female lines. These collections are
aimed at youths and young adults between the ages of 15
and 25. They pick up on current trends from fashion capitals
around the world, marrying the latest styles and colours with
fashionable washes and selected details. TOM TAILOR Denim
embodies a spirited, authentic lifestyle.
BONITA creates fashion for women who want to highlight
their individual style. BONITA looks are authentic and confident, and enhance women’s natural beauty. High colour
fidelity and perfectly coordinating looks provide plenty of
options for creating a sophisticated, timeless style without
sacrificing fashionable details. BONITA men’s multifaceted
outfits complement men’s personalities. Offering an excellent fit, a large selection of different styles and high-quality
materials, BONITA men provides casual fashion that can be
mixed and matched, from sporty to relaxed.
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.
Yours sincerely,
Dieter Holzer

In 2014 TOM TAILOR is once again the official fashion partner
in the TRIBUTE TO BAMBI fund-raising campaign for children
in need. It is the sixth time that the Group has developed
a limited denim collection for the charity event. As in past

from the jeans to charity. This year, for the first time, 2,800
limited-edition denim charity bags will also be sold in stores.

ticipates a recurring EBITDA margin of between 9.2 % and

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 %

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.
