Message from Betterware's Chairman

The Group's results for the first quarter of the year closed in line with our expectations. The behavior of the main variables remained stable and in line with the forecasts for each business. We are proud of the progress attained during the period, and we know that we are on the right path implementing proven strategies that are gaining traction and are expected to deliver increasing progress as we move through the year.

I am equally pleased with our acquisition of Jafra. While only a year since we have completed the acquisition, we have accomplished so much and Jafra's results have surpassed our expectations. The team has adapted very quickly to the culture and dynamics of Betterware, injecting more energy and aggressiveness into the commercial part of the business and products' innovation, both in its process and in the renewal of some of its brands. Discipline, coupled with administrative and financial control have managed to improve the profitability of the company, reaching higher levels of stability in the product cost, as well as in the direct and operating expenses. It is important to highlight that, since 3Q 2022, Jafra's sales force in Mexico has been gradually recovering, both in attracting new consultants, as well as in their retention and activity. With the return to normality, we have brought back in-person training and events with the sales force, which are essential to keep them motivated and assisting them to grow their business. Taking care of promotional cycles has helped us maintain our sales force and the activity month after month. Jafra's attractive and complimentary product portfolio has also helped us diversify the Group, which favors cash flow generation and maintains our financial strength in the face of an uncertain and changing environment, both nationally and internationally.

For Betterware, our performance during the first quarter of 2023 was key, laying the foundation for us to achieve our expected result for the year. We have several accomplishments to share, during the quarter we stabilized the business by reversing the downward trend in the sales force. In fact, in February and March we had net growth in both Associates and Distributors, improving the incorporation rate and reducing churn. This demonstrates the strength of our reinforced Sales Staff who have begun to show positive results; we are confident that this will be the basis to start growing our platform in the coming months and, consequently, enhance our sales. On the other hand, we have improved the catalog since January, both in design and in the product offering (we increased the number of SKUs, recovered the strength of our core product line, incorporated new categories, and encouraged the use of the digital catalog). All this effort helped to maintain sales at an appropriate level. And, although there is still more work to do, we were able to observe a different dynamic that allows us to be optimistic about what we can achieve from here on. In addition, I am pleased to remark that we returned to the margin levels we had at the beginning of 2022, which helps us to be in line with the EBITDA estimated for this period and for the year.

It is essential to remember that part of our success is based on the flexibility of our asset-light business model and on our ability to adapt to different market conditions, which translates into preserving our profitability through cost control and efficient expenses, which are mostly variable. This applies to both Betterware and Jafra, and we will leverage this to achieve better profitability and higher cash flow generation. Our solid business model, our knowledge and experience in direct selling companies, and our involvement in the business as the controlling group, completely differentiate Betterware de Mexico from other public direct selling companies. We are proud of our track record of success since we started this company, recently demonstrated by a 2019-2022 sales CAGR of 55% and EBITDA CAGR of 38%, considering Jafra, and only considering Betterware's operations, a 2019-2022 sales CAGR of 27% and EBITDA CAGR of 18%. More impressively, from 2001 to 2022, Betterware achieved a 20% net revenue CAGR and a 22% EBITDA CAGR.

Although the world's macroeconomic environment is still uncertain, we are confident that our different business units are heading in the right direction. The decisions made so far, and the initiatives we are implementing at Betterware and Jafra represent a solid foundation for growing revenue, profitability, and more value for our shareholders. I am sure that we will achieve our 2023 objectives and maintain sustained growth in the long term.
