Now trading from 629 stores and 7 online sites across 25 countries. To stay ahead of trend, Lovisa utilises daily inventory monitoring software and airfreight to move product to store locations within 48 hours from our warehouses in Melbourne, China and Poland. 7 / P Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Chairman’s Report Chairman’s Report 8 / P In the year since I last wrote to you, we have opened Lovisa stores in four new markets – Canada, Hong Kong, Poland and Namibia, plus more than 100 new stores in our existing markets. We have built out and regionalised our global structure to provide an appropriate level of support to our existing stores, teams, and customers worldwide. This is expected to ensure that we are equipped to support our stellar growth, remain operationally effective, strengthen Lovisa’s culture and our standards and discipline into the future. We now have full support service offices in Poland, USA, South Africa, and Australia. As an example of this, South Africa has grown from five regional support team 18 months ago to now a full-fledged and integrated global support centre of 55 team members carrying out valuable and effective work in finance, payroll, recruitment, logistics, 24/7 digital customer service and store support. The continuing evolution in our global structures, product design and innovation, and our continuous and relentless focus on our customers, is only made possible with the dedication and ambition of our people and teams. They collectively have again stood tall and delivered strongly. In the past year we have promoted 2,040 team members, in some cases more than once. This type of statistic gives you an insight into what it takes to sustain Lovisa’s pace and growth. It also highlights the endless opportunity that Lovisa provides for ambitious and driven team, whether they be part-time or senior leaders looking for the next advancement. Often the Lovisa leadership refers to, ‘start here go anywhere’ as part of explaining the appeal of a career with Lovisa. To give you a sense of this I would like to share one remarkable example. Alysha Coric Alysha started her career with Lovisa at the age of 14 when she took on a Christmas casual role in the regional store of Shellharbour (NSW Australia), the town she lived in at the time. Alysha did so well she was asked to stay on after Christmas and shortly after, accepted a full-time role. Remarkably and thankfully, her regional leader at the time had the foresight to offer the 16 year-old Alysha the store manager role. Alysha courageously accepted. Four years and several promotions to larger stores later, Alysha advanced again to regional leader in New South Wales. Two years later in 2017 Alysha again makes an ambitious move and becomes the regional leader in our then new UK market of 4 stores. Today, Alysha at 28 years of age, is the UK Country Leader (the UK has become one of our biggest and most important markets). The wisdom and grit that Alysha has shown to achieve so much in such a short time is extraordinary. We are lucky to have Alysha. Her story and many other Lovisa people stories of remarkable and inspirational individual achievement are the life blood of Lovisa. They are also important for the ongoing growth and success of Lovisa. It is important that we continue to seek out, develop and support ‘eagles’ like Alysha who, in turn will be able to achieve their own unique inspirational stories through the extraordinary career opportunities Lovisa’s rapid growth can provide. Our mission is to continue to bring brilliantly affordable jewellery to the women of the world, and in the case of piercing, be responsible for the piercings that allow our customers to wear it. We have much to be proud of. We lead in many areas and our accelerating growth continues to be fuelled by a healthy balance sheet and excellent investment return metrics. The areas that are requiring attention and improvement continue to be: • • growing our digital presence and results; and ensuring our rapid growth and store rollout does not dilute our culture, our brand and importantly our customer experience. Lovisa is very well served by Victor Herrero. The change of CEO from Shane Fallscheer to Victor Herrero was a seamless transition with very few disruptions. This is as much a tribute to the character of both Victor and Shane as it is to the culture of Lovisa. Victor has proven to be one of those rare individuals that has delivered more than promised and continues to accelerate Lovisa. He and his team are very clear on the Lovisa mission, opportunities and what needs to be done. As always on behalf of the board, we would like to thank you for your support and faith in Lovisa. Importantly we thank every single one of our customers and all the Lovisa team who continuously represent and present the Lovisa brand and experience to its fullest every hour, of every day around the world.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS The following summary of operating results and operating metrics reflects the Group’s performance for the year ended 3 July 2022: 4.1 Financial Performance Revenue for the year ended 3 July 2022 was up 59.3% on FY21 with improved performance across all markets following the significant disruption to the business through the prior two financial years, and the continued expansion of the global store network. Whilst COVID-19 related economic lockdowns and disruptions continued to be a challenge throughout the first half of the financial year and in particular the first quarter with lockdowns in Australia, New Zealand, and Malaysia, we saw strong sales performance subsequent to this. This resulted in Earnings Before Interest and Tax (and before the impact of AASB 16) of $79m, up 86.6% on FY21. - - The business was able to deliver good growth in the store network for the financial year, with 629 stores now trading globally across 24 countries at financial year end.

Gross Margin was higher at 78.9%, an increase of 220bps on prior year, with the impact of higher freight costs offset by the benefit of increases to selling prices implemented in the second half of the financial year, with limited visible impacts on sales volumes from the price increases. Gross Margin on a constant currency basis was 78.1% for the year. 6 2 3 0 9 3 5 3 4 4 4 5 FY18 FY19 FY20 FY21 FY17 9 2 6 FY22 4.1.3 Cost Of Doing Business AUSTRALIA OFFSHORE COST OF DOING BUSINESS 5 1 / P After the disruption that impacted the prior two financial years as a result of COVID-19, total sales have returned to strong growth with revenue up 59.3% on FY21. The first half of the financial year saw a continuation of disruption across a number of markets, with stores in Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia closed temporarily due to government lockdowns for a large part of quarter 1, and other markets experiencing general trading disruption throughout the first half. Once restrictions were lifted most markets were able to trade strongly as our customers were again able to get back to more normal activities. The continued increase in the store network also helped drive the increase in sales, with an increase of 85 stores in the global store network during the year. Comparable store sales were up 19.9% compared to FY21, with performance strong across all markets. The Group’s online business delivered sales growth of 30% on FY21, despite cycling very strong growth in prior year with trading websites now operational across all markets that Lovisa is represented in and an ongoing business focus on improving our online customer experience. % 3 5 % 6 5 % 9 5 % 6 5 % 8 5 FY18 FY19 FY20 FY21 FY22 * CODB % has been adjusted to remove the effect of AASB 16 on FY2020, FY2021 and FY2022 to ensure comparability with prior years. The Group’s control of Cost of Doing Business (CODB) was again effective, benefiting from strong comparable store sales growth and tight control of store wages and was achieved despite facing significantly higher logistics costs and continuing investment in support structures to drive future store network growth and expansion into new markets. Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Directors’ Report 4.1.4 Earnings Statutory earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) was $82.7m being a 90% increase on EBIT from the prior year. Statutory net profit after tax increased 135.2% to $58.4m with EPS at 54.3 cents. Excluding the impact of the implementation of AASB 16, earnings before interest and tax would have been $79.7m, up 86.6% on last year and net profit after tax would have been $59.9m, up 116.3%. 4.1.5 Cash Flow The Group’s net cash flow from operating activities, adjusted to remove the impact of AASB 16 was $96.7m. Capital expenditure of $34.5m relates predominately to new store openings and refurbishments of current stores upon lease renewal. The Group was able to close the financial year with $24.2m in net cash, an $11.4m decrease on prior year, impacted by the significant increase in dividends paid during the financial year and the ongoing investment into the global store rollout. 4.2 Financial Position Consolidated Net cash Trade receivables and prepayments Inventories Trade payables and provisions Net lease liabilities Property, plant & equipment Intangible assets and goodwill Net derivative asset/(liability) Net current tax liability Net deferred tax balances Net assets/equity Working capital 6 1 / P Actual 2022 $’000 24,153 21,587 50,215 (62,505) (46,335) 67,255 4,234 1,682 (13,288) 17,326 64,323 Actual 2021 $’000 35,552 11,325 34,211 (46,937) (42,606) 42,112 4,378 (144) (4,767) 12,591 45,715 Change 2021/2022 % (32.1%) 90.6% 46.8% 33.2% 8.8% 59.7% (3.3%) (1268.1%) 178.7% 37.6% 40.7% The Group’s net working capital position remained stable during the year with inventory levels increasing from $34.2m to $50.2m, offset by a corresponding increase in payables and provisions, with inventory higher as a result of the significant increase in store numbers over the period. Property, plant and equipment Capital expenditure during the year reflects fit out costs associated with new stores and refurbishment of existing stores. Fit out costs are depreciated over the term of the lease. Debt facilities The Group currently has total debt facilities of $50.0m, with an additional $21.8m in bank guarantee facilities in place. As at the end of the financial year, $10.0m remained drawn on the term debt facility, which has been classified as a current liability due to the maturity date of the facility being within the next 12 months. The Group possesses net cash reserves of $24.2m at year end. Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Directors’ Report 5. BUSINESS STRATEGIES Lovisa has achieved rapid growth since it was founded, with revenue growing from $25.5 million in FY2011 to $458.7 million in FY2022. Despite the challenges of the past 3 financial years as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its ongoing impact, the Group continues to focus on its key drivers to deliver growth in sales and profit.

Our customers expect a broad range of fashionable products that are in line with the latest global fashion trends. In order to meet this expectation, Lovisa employs a large and experienced product team who are responsible for Lovisa’s forward range planning, designs, product development, production, visual merchandising and merchandise planning, ensuring Lovisa is continually meeting market demand. Whilst the product team is primarily based in Melbourne, its team members travel the world to identify global trends. In addition, its product teams meet with suppliers in China, India, Thailand and other parts of Asia frequently. Whilst this has been subject to ongoing travel restrictions in place globally, alternative processes have been implemented to ensure product flow and quality do not suffer. As Lovisa is frequently developing new products in response to evolving fashion trends, it does not register patents on its product designs. This is consistent with practices in the fast fashion industry. 5.2 New Store Rollouts & International Expansion One of the key attributes of the Group’s success has been the ability to identify and secure quality retail store sites in locations with high pedestrian traffic. This typically involves securing leases in AA, A or B grade rating shopping centres and malls. Lovisa has refined its global store model based on what it understands to be the optimal store size, location and format. The combination of a target 50-80 square metre floor space and a homogenised layout allows Lovisa to have strict criteria when identifying and securing potential store sites in new regions, facilitating the roll-out of stores quickly, at low cost. On average, it takes between 2-4 weeks to fit out a new Lovisa store depending on local conditions. The key driver of future growth for Lovisa is the continued global store roll-out. Lovisa has proven it is capable of successfully operating profitably globally, having established a portfolio of company owned stores in 16 countries and supporting franchised stores across 8 additional countries in the middle east, bringing the total countries Lovisa is represented in to 24. Lovisa will continue to explore other markets, with the store network at the end of the financial year including our first stores in new markets Canada and Poland, and further new markets opened since the end of the financial year. The Group plans to remain nimble and opportunistic in expanding and moving into new markets, such that if opportunities arise, the Group may accelerate its plans to enter a new market or continue to grow an existing market. Likewise it will defer its entry into a new market if it considers that appropriate opportunities are not presented at the relevant time. The history of Lovisa stores is as follows: 8 1 / P Australia New Zealand Singapore South Africa Malaysia United Kingdom Spain France (i) Germany (ii) Belgium (ii) Netherlands (ii) Austria (ii) Luxembourg (ii) Switzerland (ii) Poland USA Canada Middle East (iii) Vietnam (iii) Total 2018 151 2019 154 2020 152 2021 153 20 22 56 21 24 5 2 - - - - - - - 1 - 18 6 326 22 18 61 25 38 9 8 - - - - - - - 19 - 28 8 390 23 19 62 27 42 - 21 - - - - - - - 48 - 34 7 435 24 18 64 28 41 - 52 38 8 6 3 2 8 - 63 - 36 - 544 2022 154 25 17 69 32 42 - 59 40 11 5 3 2 6 1 118 1 44 - 629 (i) Of these stores, 22 were acquired as a result of the acquisition of the retail assets of beeline GmbH during 2021 (ii) These stores were acquired as a result of the acquisition of the retail assets of beeline GmbH during 2021 (iii) Franchise stores Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Directors’ Report 5.3 Streamline Global Supply Chain Lovisa’s third party suppliers are currently located in mainland China, India and Thailand. Stock is inspected by Lovisa’s quality control team in China. Once manufactured, stock is transported to Lovisa’s leased warehouse in Melbourne, Australia (for stock to be sold in Australia and New Zealand) or its third party operated warehouses in Poland (for stock to be sold in Europe), and China (for stock to be sold in all other countries). Lovisa constantly reviews its supply chain process for potential efficiency gains and cost reductions in order to generate higher gross margins. This includes improvements in its global warehouse and logistics program and the consolidation and rationalisation of its supplier base. As a result of this constant review the company has implemented 3PL warehouses in the USA, South Africa and the UK to better support our online customers in these markets. 5.4 Enhance Existing Store Performance Lovisa is constantly reviewing the efficiency of its existing store network to ensure that stores are run as profitably as possible, with stores closed if they are not performing to expectations and new sites continuing to be identified. Whilst some of the markets Lovisa operates in are mature and have less opportunities for new store openings, our leasing team continue to assess new sites as they arise. The global roll-out of piercing services into stores has been successful in driving enhanced customer loyalty and providing new customers an additional reason to choose to shop at Lovisa. 5.5 Brand Proliferation Lovisa supports the growth of its brand through social media and promotional activity that matches our customer base, and our international footprint. Efforts are focused on social media, rather than traditional media, as we believe it connects us directly to our customers in a way that suits their lifestyle. The brand is also developed through the customer in-store experience – on trend product, cleanly merchandised, focused imagery, and the store “look and feel”. Stores are located in high foot traffic areas, in high performing centres. The Group’s online stores operate to service all markets in which the Group operates company-owned stores. 9 1 / P Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Directors’ Report 6. MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS The business risks faced by the Group and how it manages these risks are set out below. Further information surrounding how the Group monitors, assesses, manages and responds to risks identified is included within Principle 7 of the Company’s Corporate Governance statement. 6.1 Competition The fast fashion jewellery sector in which Lovisa operates is highly competitive. While the costs and time that would be required to replicate Lovisa’s business model, design team, IT systems, store network, warehouse facilities and level of brand recognition would be substantial, the industry as a whole has relatively low barriers to entry. The industry is also subject to ever changing customer preferences. Lovisa’s current competitors include: • specialty retailers selling predominately fashion jewellery; • department stores; • fashion apparel retailers with a fashion jewellery section; and • smaller retailers (i.e. less than five stores) that specialise in the affordable jewellery segment. Competition is based on a variety of factors including merchandise selection, price, advertising, new stores, store location, store appearance, online presence and execution, product presentation and customer service. Lovisa’s competitive position may deteriorate as a result of factors including actions by existing competitors, the entry of new competitors or a failure by Lovisa to successfully respond to changes in the industry. To mitigate this risk, Lovisa employs a large product team to meet market demands as described in section 5.1. Management believes it would take a number of years for a new entrant to establish a portfolio of leases comparable with Lovisa in premium store locations due to substantial barrier to entry costs as detailed above. 6.2 Retail Environment and General Economic Conditions As Lovisa’s products are typically viewed by consumers to be ‘discretionary’ items rather than ‘necessities’, Lovisa’s financial performance is sensitive to the current state of, and future changes in, the retail environment in the countries in which it operates. However, with a low average retail spend per transaction, macro market performance is less likely to have a material impact on our business compared to other discretionary categories. Lovisa’s main strategy to overcome any downturn in the retail environment or economic conditions is to continue to offer our customers quality, affordable and on trend products. The current global situation in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic has had a larger impact on the business than normally seen as a result of macro market conditions, with the unprecedented scale of its impact on all aspects of people’s lives, and in particular the inability for people to socialise in normal ways, having had a continued impact on trading conditions over recent years. As our customers’ lives have returned to a more normal state over the past year we have seen a return to prior performance of our business. 6.3 Public health crises, political crises and other catastrophic events outside of our control affect our sales or supply of inventory Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, power shortages or outages, or floods; public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics (including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic); social unrest; political crises, such as terrorism, war, political instability or other conflict; or other events outside of our control, could damage or destroy our stores or our products, make it difficult for our employees or customers to travel to our stores, result in delays or disruptions in the production and/or delivery of merchandise to our distribution centers or our stores or in the fulfillment of e-commerce orders to our consumers, or require us to incur substantial additional costs to ensure timely delivery. Moreover, these types of events could negatively impact consumer spending in the impacted regions or, depending upon the severity, globally, which could adversely impact our operating results. Factors mitigating these risks include the significant geographical diversity of our operations, continued investment in e-commerce channels to offset temporary inability to trade from physical stores, and business continuity plans and experience developed during the COVID-19 pandemic. 6.4 Failure to Successfully Implement Growth Strategies Lovisa’s growth strategy is based on its ability to increase earnings contributions from existing stores and continue to open and operate new stores on a timely and profitable basis. Lovisa’s store roll-out program is dependent on securing stores in suitable locations on acceptable terms, and may be impacted by factors including delays, cost overruns and disputes with landlords. The following risks apply to the roll-out program: • new stores opened by Lovisa may be unprofitable; • Lovisa may be unable to source new stores in preferred areas, and this could reduce Lovisa’s ability to continue to expand its store footprint; • new stores may reduce revenues of existing stores; and • establishment costs may be greater than budgeted for. Factors mitigating these risks are that fit-out costs are low with minimal standard deviation in set-up costs across sites and territories through our small store format and homogeneous store layout, minimising potential downside for new stores. The Group assesses store performance regularly and evaluates store proximity and likely impact on other Lovisa stores as part of its roll-out planning. When entering new markets, Lovisa assesses the region, which involves building knowledge by leveraging a global network of industry contacts as well as our significantly globally experienced senior leadership team, and aims to secure a portfolio of stores in order to launch an operating footprint upon entry. The Group plans to remain nimble and opportunistic in expanding and moving into new markets, such that if opportunities arise, the Group may accelerate its plans to enter a new market or continue to grow an existing market. Likewise it will defer its entry into a new market if it considers that appropriate opportunities are not presented at the relevant time. Regular investigation and evaluation of new stores and territories is undertaken by management to ensure that the Group’s store footprint continues to expand. Current conditions in the global retail leasing market as a result of the impact of COVID-19 are being monitored closely by management to ensure that opportunities are identified and taken advantage of as they arise. 0 2 / P Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Directors’ Report 6.5 Exchange Rates The majority of inventory purchases made by Lovisa are priced in USD. Lovisa is exposed to movements in the exchange rate in the markets it operates in. Adverse movements could have an adverse impact on Lovisa’s gross profit margin and overall profitability of non-AUD denominated markets. The Group’s foreign exchange policy is aimed at managing its foreign currency exposure in order to protect profit margins by entering into forward exchange contracts specifically against movements in the USD rate against the AUD associated with its cost of goods. The Group does not currently hedge its foreign currency earnings. The Group monitors its working capital in its foreign subsidiaries to ensure exposure to movements in currency is limited. 6.6 Prevailing Fashions and Consumer Preferences May Change Lovisa’s revenues are entirely generated from the retailing of jewellery and piercing services, which is subject to changes in prevailing fashions and consumer preferences. Failure by Lovisa to predict or respond to such changes could adversely impact the future financial performance of Lovisa. In addition, any failure by Lovisa to correctly judge customer preferences, or to convert market trends into appealing product offerings on a timely basis, may result in lower revenue and margins. In addition, any unexpected change in prevailing fashions or customer preferences may lead to Lovisa carrying increased obsolete inventory. To mitigate this risk, Lovisa employs an experienced global product team to meet market demands as described in section 5.1. As the Group responds to trends as they occur, this drives store visits by customers and significantly reduces the risk of obsolete stock. 7. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE No matter or circumstance has arisen since 3 July 2022 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect: (a) the Group’s operations in future financial years, or (b) the results of those operations in future financial years, or (c) the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years. 8. LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS Information on likely developments is contained within the Review of Operations section of this annual report. 9. REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED 9.1 Remuneration Overview The Board recognises that the performance of the Group depends on the quality and motivation of its team members employed by the Group around the world. The Group remuneration strategy therefore seeks to appropriately attract, reward and retain team members at all levels of the business, but in particular for management and key executives. The Board aims to achieve this by establishing executive remuneration packages that include a mix of fixed remuneration, short-term incentives and long-term incentives. In performing this responsibility, the Committee must give appropriate consideration to the Group’s performance and objectives, employment conditions and external remuneration relativities in the global market that Lovisa operates in. 1 2 / P Further information surrounding the responsibilities of the People, Leadership, Remuneration and Nomination Committee is included within Principle 8 of the Company’s Corporate Governance statement. 9.2 Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration Key Management Personnel Key Management Personnel (KMP) have the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the consolidated entity, and comprise: • Non-Executive Directors • Managing Director • Chief Executive Officer • Chief Financial Officer Non-Executive Director KMP Brett Blundy James King Tracey Blundy John Charlton Chairman Director Director Director John Armstrong Director (Resigned 3 July 2020) Sei Jin Alt Nico van der Merwe Alternate Director Executive KMP Director Victor Herrero Chief Executive Officer (appointed as a Director 14 October 2021) (commenced as CEO 9 November 2021) Shane Fallscheer Managing Director Chris Lauder Chief Financial Officer (until 22 November 2021) This report has been audited by the Company’s Auditor KPMG as required by Section 308 (3C) of the Corporation Act 2001. The People, Leadership, Remuneration and Nomination Committee is governed by its Charter which was developed in line with ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. The Charter specifies the purpose, authority, membership and the activities of the Committee and the Charter is annually reviewed by the Committee to ensure it remains consistent with regulatory requirements. A. Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration (a) Non-Executive Directors KMP Remuneration Non-executive Directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate Non-executive Directors’ pool limit of $600,000. Total Non- executive Directors’ remuneration including non-monetary benefits and superannuation paid at the statutory prescribed rate for the year ended 3 July 2022 was $461,095. Brett Blundy, the Non-executive Chairman, is entitled to receive annual fees of $150,000. Other Non-executive Directors are entitled to receive annual fees of between $70,000 to $81,000 inclusive of superannuation. The Non-executive Directors’ fees are reviewed annually to ensure that the fees reflect market rates. There are no guaranteed annual increases in any Directors’ fees. None of the non-executive Directors participate in the short or long term incentives. Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Directors’ Report (b) Executive remuneration Lovisa’s remuneration strategy is to: • Offer a remuneration structure that will attract, focus, retain and reward highly capable people; • Have a clear and transparent link between performance and remuneration; • • Build employee engagement and align management and shareholder interest; and Ensure executive remuneration is set with regard to the size and nature of the position with reference to global market benchmarks (in the context of the Group operating in a global marketplace) and the performance of the individual. Remuneration will incorporate at risk elements to: • • Link executive reward with the achievement of Lovisa’s business objectives and financial performance; and Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards. The Board strongly believes that the remuneration structures in place for the executive team, and in particular the Chief Executive Officer, Victor Herrero, and prior to his commencement the Managing Director, Shane Fallscheer, are appropriate. The Board were therefore disappointed to receive votes against the Remuneration Report at the 2021 Annual General Meeting totalling 47.8% of votes cast. Whilst the Board understands the concerns of some shareholders in relation to the above matters, it is of the view that the structure and quantum of remuneration in place for the leadership of the Group is appropriate for the situation of the business. Lovisa is a global business competing for talent in the global market with significant global growth potential, which requires compensation packages competitive in this context to attract and retain the appropriate calibre of executive to deliver this for shareholders. We are delighted that our remuneration structures have been able to attract exceptional global executive talent, evidenced by the appointment of Victor Herrero as CEO and the continuing outstanding performance of the business. B. Remuneration Structure The current executive salary and reward framework consists of the following components: • • • Base salary and benefits including superannuation Short-term incentive scheme comprising cash Long-term incentive scheme comprising cash and options or performance rights The mix of fixed and at risk components for each Senior Executive as a percentage of total target remuneration for the 2022 financial year is as follows: Senior Executive Victor Herrero Chris Lauder Fixed remuneration At risk remuneration 3% 67% 97% 33% Note: The above assumes each KMP receives their maximum STI and LTI in the relevant period. If this is not the case, then the mix would change in favour of the fixed remuneration %. 2 2 / P Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Directors’ Report 9.2 Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration (continued) B. Remuneration Structure (continued) Base Salary and Benefits Base pay is structured as a total employment cost package which may be delivered as a combination of cash and non-cash benefits. Retirement benefits are delivered to the employee’s choice of superannuation fund where relevant. The Group has no interest or ongoing liability to the fund or the employee in respect of retirement benefits. Short Term Incentive plan The Group operates a short-term incentive (STI) plan that rewards some Executives and Management on the achievement of pre-determined key performance indicators (KPIs) established for each financial year according to the accountabilities of his/ her role and its impact on the organisation’s performance. KPIs include company profit targets and personal performance criteria. Using a profit target ensures variable reward is paid only when value is created for shareholders. The STI plan structure in place for FY22 was as follows: KMP Opportunity Performance Period Performance Measures Victor Herrero nil n/a n/a Chief Executive Officer Shane Fallscheer nil n/a n/a Managing Director FY22 Outcome n/a n/a 3 2 / P Chris Lauder $125,000 12 months, Chief Financial Officer subject to continued employment until the date of payment Discretionary based on the Board’s assessment of performance with reference to: 100% Delivery of 38% growth in EBIT on FY21 to $60m in FY22 (actual outcome 90% growth) Personal KPI’s in relation to the performance of the Finance team in meeting internal and external reporting timelines No STI was implemented for Shane Fallscheer, Managing Director, prior to his resignation during the financial year. Victor Herrero, Chief Executive Officer was also not eligible to participate in the annual STI program, with his at-risk remuneration comprised entirely of his LTI. The award of 100% of the Chief Financial Officer’s STI was based on the Board’s assessment of his performance against the criteria noted above, with both criteria delivered and therefore 100% of the STI opportunity of $125,000 to be paid. Long Term Incentive plan The Company operates a long-term incentive (LTI) plan. The plan is designed to align the interests of the executives with the interest of the shareholders by providing an opportunity for the executives to receive an equity interest in Lovisa and in some cases a cash payment. The plan provides flexibility for the Company to grant performance rights and options as incentives, subject to the terms of the individual offers and the satisfaction of performance conditions determined by the Board from time to time. The key terms associated with the LTI plan are: • A Performance Option entitles the holder to acquire a share upon payment of an applicable exercise price at the end of the performance period, subject to meeting specific performance conditions. • Options will be granted for nil consideration. Performance Conditions The Board considers profit based performance measures such as EPS and EBIT to be the most appropriate performance conditions as they align the interests of shareholders with management. FY2022 Chief Executive Officer LTI Plan Following his appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the Group in November 2021, Victor Herrero was granted a 3-year LTI Grant vesting annually over its 3 year term including a Cash Award and a Performance Rights component, with the number of Performance Rights to be granted under the award determined at the date set out in the table below (Grant Date). The table below sets out the maximum LTI opportunity for each performance period, split between a Cash Award and Performance Rights. The number of Performance Rights to be granted to Victor will be determined on the Grant Dates specified below and are determined by dividing the grant value by the 30-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s Shares at the relevant Grant Date specified below (Fair Value).

The grant of the Chief Executive Officer LTI Plan noted above was approved by shareholders at the 2021 Annual General Meeting, including the 400,000 Performance Rights granted on 23 November 2021 and the 1,742,857 Performance Rights granted on 4 July 2022. The performance hurdles for each LTI tranche are set out below, with performance against the EBIT hurdles to be tested at the end of each Performance Period and based on EBIT before the share-based payments expense recognised in the period associated with the LTI grants made to the CEO as set out above.

The number of Performance Rights that vest will be calculated by dividing the value of the Performance Rights that vest as specified above by the Fair Value of each Performance Right for that Tranche as calculated at the Grant Date. Upon Vesting of the Performance Rights and conversion to shares, the shares will be subject to a 12-month holding restriction period (this does not apply to the Cash component). The actual vesting outcome for the Tranche 1 Performance Rights described above was determined by the Board based on the financial performance for the 2022 financial year as follows: Tranche Performance Outcome (EBIT pre share-based payments expense) % of total opportunity vested Total LTI Opportunity ($) LTI Vested ($) Vested LTI Cash ($) Vested LTI – Performance Rights ($) Vested Performance Rights (Number) Tranche 1 $101.3m 90.8% $12,000,000 $10,901,100 $3,600,000 $7,301,100 347,671 FY2022 Executive LTI Plan • In September 2021 a grant of Performance Options was made to certain Executives as part of the FY2022 LTI. The key terms associated with the FY2022 Executive LTI Grant are: • • The performance period commences 28 June 2021 and ends 30 June 2024. The exercise price of the Performance Options is $14.37, which represents the 30 day VWAP to the date of grant. • A total of 150,000 Performance Options were granted. • • The grant of Performance Options is subject to performance conditions based on delivering the Group’s EBIT target over the performance period, as set out below. The expiry of the Performance Options is 12 months following the end of the performance period. • 90,000 options were forfeited during the year. The Board has determined the EBIT Target growth hurdles applicable to the FY2022 grant is as follows: Group’s EBIT for the financial year ending 30 June 2024 % of LTI Options that vest and become exercisable 5 2 / P Less than $90m $90m - $95m $95m - $100m $100m - $110m $110m - $120m Nil 20% awarded 35% awarded 50% awarded 75% awarded >$120m 100% awarded FY2021 LTI – Performance Options In October 2020 a grant of Performance Options was made to the Managing Director, Executives and Management as part of the FY2021 LTI. The key terms associated with the 2021 Grant are: • • The performance period commences 29 June 2020 and ends 2 July 2023. The exercise price of the Performance Options is $7.15, which represents the 30 day VWAP to the date of grant. • A total of 1,500,000 Performance Options were granted. 1,000,000 of these options were subject to shareholder approval. The Managing Director was also granted a cash settled LTI as part of his FY21 LTI grant in addition to the performance options granted. The cash LTI opportunity amounts to $3,500,000 and is payable subject to the same performance hurdles as the performance options granted. Testing of the performance hurdles will occur shortly after the end of the performance period, and the amount of the Cash LTI and the number of LTI Options that may vest and become exercisable (if any) will be determined. The total amount of Cash LTI and LTI Options that may vest will be subject to a cap of $15 million. If the total vested value of the LTI (less the exercise price payable) as determined by the Board would be higher than $15 million, the number of options to vest will be reduced until the total value of the vested LTI will be equal to $15 million. Shares acquired by the Managing Director upon exercise of vested LTI Options will then be subject to a 12 month holding restriction period under which he will be unable to trade in these shares until the date which is 12 months after the date on which the LTI Options vest. Any vested options not exercised by this date will expire unexercised. • For executives other than the Managing Director, the expiry of the Performance Options is 12 months following the vesting date. • 1,180,000 options were forfeited during the year. The grant of Performance Options is subject to performance conditions based on delivering the Group’s EBIT target over the performance period, as set out below: Group’s EBIT for the financial year ending 2 July 2023 % of Cash LTI that vests and becomes payable % of LTI Options that vest and become exercisable Less than $85m Nil Nil $85m - $90m 20% awarded 20% awarded $90m - $95m 35% awarded 35% awarded $95m - $100m 50% awarded 50% awarded $100m - $105m 75% awarded 75% awarded $105m + 100% awarded 100% awarded As a result of the resignation of the Managing Director, his entire FY21 LTI lapsed during the financial year, including the Performance Options and Cash component.

Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Sett ing t hr Scene Lovisa Holdings Limited (the “Company”) is a for-profit company incorporated and domiciled in Australia with its registered office at Level 1, 818-820 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn, Victoria 3122. The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group” and individually the “Group companies”). The Group is primarily involved in the retail sale of fashion jewellery and accessories. 7 3 / P Lovisa Holdings Limited reports within a retail financial period. The current financial year represents a 53 week period ended on 3 July 2022 (2021: 52 week period ended 27 June 2021). This treatment is consistent with section 323D of Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the financial year ended 3 July 2022 were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 28 August 2022. Basis of accounting The consolidated financial statements and supporting notes form a general purpose financial report. It: • Has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) including Australian Accounting Interpretations, adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and Interpretations as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board; • Has been prepared on a historical cost basis except for derivative financial instruments which are measured at fair value. Intangible assets and goodwill are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell; • Presents reclassified comparative information where required for consistency with the current year’s presentation; • Adopts all new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the operations of the Group and effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2020; • Does not early adopt any Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet effective except as disclosed in note D9; and • Has been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting. At 3 July 2022, the Group’s statement of financial position is in a net current liability position of $23.5m which has arisen as a result of AASB 16, with net assets of $64.3m. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity risk is detailed in Note C4 and the Group’s undrawn credit facilities are detailed in Note C3. The Group continues to be able to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due and remains a going concern. Use of judgements and estimates In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Judgements and estimates which are material to the financial statements are outlined below: Assumptions and estimation uncertainties The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased the estimation uncertainty in the preparation of financial statements. During FY22, the Group’s operations and financial statements were impacted as a result of: • Disruption to normal trading conditions (temporary shut- downs of stores) • Reduced demand for goods caused by uncertainty surrounding the length of current or future restrictions. In respect of these financial statements, the impact of COVID-19 is primarily relevant to estimates of future performance which is in turn relevant to the areas of net realisable value of inventory, impairment of non-financial assets and going concern. In making estimates of future performance, key assumptions and judgements have been stress tested for the impacts of COVID-19. The assumptions modelled are based on the estimated potential impact of COVID-19 restrictions and regulations, along with the Group’s proposed responses. The following assumptions and judgements in relation to the potential impact of COVID-19 have been applied by the Group: • Sales forecasts have been estimated factoring in known lockdowns where stores are temporarily unable to trade, as well as expectations of ongoing impacts where stores are able to trade but are impacted by reduced foot traffic and/or demand. These estimates have been made based on expectations of market demand and using actual experience to date of the trading impacts of COVID-19. Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 8 3 / P Assumptions and estimation uncertainties (continued) • Gross margin and cost assumptions are based on experience to date during the COVID-19 disruption period and the Group’s response and ability to manage costs structures. In all scenarios modelled, the liquidity requirements of the Group are within the available facilities and are forecast to meet financial covenants. Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the financial year ended 3 July 2022 are included in the following notes: • Note A8 – recognition of deferred tax assets: availability of future taxable profit against which carry forward tax losses can be used; • Note B2 - inventories: recognition and measurement of stock provisioning; • Note B6 – impairment test: key assumptions underlying recoverable amounts, including the recoverability of goodwill and key money; • Notes B8 and D2 – recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies: key assumptions about the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow of resources; and • Note B10 - recognition and measurement of lease liabilities: key assumptions underlying the lease term including the exericise or not of options or break clauses. Basis of consolidation Business combinations The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment (see note B6). Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities (see note C1). The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss. Any contingent consideration payable is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss. Acquisition of assets The Group accounts for asset purchases by allocating the transaction price to the individual assets and liabilities acquired based on their relative fair values at the date of purchase. From March to May 2021, the Group acquired the retail assets of beeline GmbH in the following markets: Luxembourg (1 March 2021), Belgium (8 March 2021), Germany (15 March 2021), France (12 April 2021), Netherlands (19 April 2021), Austria (26 April 2021), and Switzerland (3 May 2021). Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its investment with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct activities of the entity. The financial results of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial information from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. Foreign currency Functional and presentation currency These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. The Group is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and in accordance with that instrument all financial information presented in Australian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated. Translation of foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Lovisa at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss. Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and are translated at the exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. When a foreign currency operation is disposed of, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is transferred to profit or loss on disposal of the entity. When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the translation reserve in equity. Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements About the Notes to the financial statements The notes include information which is required to understand the financial statements and is material and relevant to the operations, financial position and performance of the Group. Information is considered material and relevant if, for example: • The amount with respect to the information is significant because of its size or nature; • The information is important for understanding the results of the Group; • It helps to explain the impact of significant changes in the Group’s business; or • It relates to an aspect of the Group’s operations that is important to its future performance. Subsequent events There are no matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the result of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years. Business Performance This section highlights key financial performance measures of the Lovisa Group’s operating segments, as well as Group financial metrics incorporating revenue, earnings, taxation and dividends. A1 OPERATING SEGMENTS (a) Basis for segmentation 9 3 / P The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) for Lovisa Holdings Limited and its controlled entities, is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). For management purposes, the Group is organised into geographic segments to review sales by territory. All territories offer similar products and services and are managed by sales teams in each territory reporting to regional management, however overall company performance is managed on a global level by the CEO and the Group’s management team. Store performance is typically assessed at an individual store level. Lovisa results are aggregated to form one reportable operating segment, being the retail sale of fashion jewellery and accessories. The individual stores meet the aggregation criteria to form a reportable segment. The Group’s stores exhibit similar long-term financial performance and economic characteristics throughout the world, which include: a. Consistent products are offered throughout the Group’s stores worldwide; b. All stock sold throughout the world utilises common design processes and products are sourced from the same supplier base; c. Customer base is similar throughout the world; d. All stores are serviced from three delivery centres; and e. No major regulatory environment differences exist between operating territories. As the Group reports utilising one reportable operating segment, no reconciliation of the total of the reportable segments measure of profit or loss to the consolidated profit has been provided as no reconciling items exist. Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (b) Geographic information The segments have been disclosed on a regional basis consisting of Australia and New Zealand, Asia (consisting of Singapore and Malaysia), Africa (South Africa), Americas (United States of America and Canada) and Europe (United Kingdom, Spain, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland and Poland) and the Group’s franchise stores in the Middle East. Geographic revenue information is included in Note A2. In presenting the following information, segment assets were based on the geographic location of the assets. ($000s) a) Australia / New Zealand b) Asia c) Africa d) Europe e) Americas Total 2022 2021 Non-current assets (i) Non-current assets (i) 57,219 8,453 5,871 78,005 89,744 60,593 10,735 6,898 78,391 43,576 239,292 200,193 (i) Excluding financial instruments, deferred tax assets, employee benefit assets and intangible assets. A2 REVENUE Revenue by nature and geography The geographic information below analyses the Group’s revenue by region. In presenting the following information, segment revenue has been based on the geographic location of customers. ($000s) Sale of Goods Australia / New Zealand 0 4 / P Asia Africa Europe Americas Total Sale of Goods Franchise Revenue Middle East Total Franchise Revenue Total Revenue 2022 2021 174,255 24,364 45,768 140,121 71,960 456,468 2,244 2,244 458,712 157,163 17,882 33,841 40,053 37,645 286,584 1,450 1,450 288,034 a) Revenue recognition and measurement Revenue is recognised when the customer obtains control of the goods, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Revenue is measured net of returns and trade discounts. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Sale of Goods Revenue from the sale of fashion jewellery is recognised when the customer obtains control of the goods. A right of return provision has been recognised in line with the Group’s returns policy in line with the requirements of IFRS 15 along with a right to recover returned goods asset. Franchise income Franchise income, which is generally earned based upon a percentage of sales is recognised on an accrual basis.

As part of these measures, the Group qualified for, and complied with the conditions to receive, wage subsidy grants in most of the territories in which it operates. The payments received have been recognised as government grants because the wage subsidies have been provided with the objective of keeping our employees employed by the Group during the COVID-19 crisis period. The grant income has been presented net of the related salaries and wages expense. During 2022 the Group has recognised $2,535,000 (2021: $11,833,000) of wage subsidy grants globally against “salaries and employee benefits expense”. All of these amounts have been paid to employees as salaries and wages, and include amounts paid to team for hours not worked (for example where temporarily stood down), as well as employees working hours they may not have otherwise worked in the absence of these subsidies. These measures also include the deferral of various tax (including GST, VAT and income tax) and employee withholding payments across the countries we operate in. The Group has not obtained any relief whereby these obligations have been waived. There are no unpaid deferred balances remaining at 3 July 2022 (27 June 2021: in “trade and other payables”). A business rates holiday was granted to our UK stores for the year from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021. The program was extended to apply at 100% discount for three months from 1 April 2021 to 30 June 2021 and at 66% discount for the period from 1 July 2021 to 31 March 2022. This waiver of business rates has been recognised as income in the same period as the related charge is recognised and so there is no net impact on profit or loss for the period. During 2022 the Group has recognised $590,000 (2021: nil) of rental support received from the Singaporean government against “property expenses”. This relief was to directly support the payment of rent to landlords during the periods of temporary store closure. Other government grants have been received in various countries in connection with the loss of revenue due to the pandemic. These grants were unconditional and so were included in “other income” when they became receivable. For 2022 these grants amounted to $671,000 (2021: $1,043,000). Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements A5 IMPAIRMENT Amounts recognised in profit or loss Consolidated ($000s) Impairment charges pertaining to exit from Spanish market Other store impairment charges 2022 - 905 905 2021 6 240 246 During the year ended 3 July 2022, impairment charges of $905,000 ($905,000 after tax) (2020: $246,000 ($246,000 after tax)) were included within the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. A6 EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS) Calculation methodology The calculation of basic earnings per share has been based on the following profit attributable to ordinary shareholders and weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share has been based on the following profit attributable to ordinary shareholders and weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. EPS for profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of Lovisa Holdings Limited Basic EPS (cents) Diluted EPS (cents) 2022 54.33 54.07 2021 23.1 23.0 Profit attributable to ordinary shareholders ($000s) 58,387 24,829 2 4 / P Weighted average number of ordinary shares for basic EPS (shares) 107,459,646 107,459,646 Weighted average number of ordinary shares and potential ordinary shares for diluted EPS (shares) 107,972,852 107,917,281 2022 2021 Weighted average number of ordinary shares used as the denominator in calculating basic earnings per share 107,459,646 107,459,646 Adjustments for calculation of diluted earnings per share: Options 513,206 457,635 Weighted average number of ordinary shares and potential ordinary shares used as the denominator in calculating diluted earnings per share 107,972,852 107,917,281 Information concerning the classification of securities i) Options Options and performance rights granted to employees under the Lovisa Holdings Long Term Incentive Plan are considered to be potential ordinary shares. They have been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share if the required hurdles would have been met based on the Group’s performance up to the reporting date, and to the extent to which they are dilutive. The options have not been included in the determination of basic earnings per share. Details relating to the options are set out in note D3. At 3 July 2022, no options (2021: 2,701,832) were excluded from the diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements A7 DIVIDENDS The Board may pay any interim and final dividends that, in its judgement, the financial position of the Company justifies. The Board may also pay any dividend required to be paid under the terms of issue of a Share, and fix a record date for a dividend and the timing and method of payment. The following dividends were paid by the Company for the year. Consolidated ($000s) 18.0 cents per qualifying ordinary share, 50% franked (2021: 15.0 cents, 50% franked) (i) 37.0 cents per qualifying ordinary share, 30% franked (2021: 20.0 cents, 50% franked) 2022 2021 19,343 39,760 16,119 21,492 59,103 37,611 After the reporting date, the following dividends were proposed by the Board of Directors. The dividends have not been recognised as liabilities and there are no tax consequences. Consolidated ($000s) 37.0 cents per qualifying ordinary share, 30% franked (2021: 18.0 cents, 50% franked) Consolidated ($000s) Dividend franking account 2022 2021 39,760 39,760 19,343 19,343 2022 2021 Franking credits available for subsequent reporting periods based on a tax rate of 30.0% (2021: 30%) 11,452 5,448 (i) On 19 February 2020, the Company announced a fully franked interim dividend of 15.0 cents per fully paid share payable on 23 April 2020. As a result of the impact of COVID-19 on the business and the associated temporary closure of part of the store network during the final quarter of FY20, the payment date of this dividend was deferred for a period of 6 months to a revised payment date of 30 September 2020. This dividend was paid on that date, however as a result of lower tax payments during the financial year the franking percentage was reduced to 50%. 3 4 / P A8 INCOME TAXES Recognition and measurement Income tax on the profit or loss for the years presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the statement of profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following differences are not provided for: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend is recognised.

B1 TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES Recognition and measurement Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently stated at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses. Consolidated ($000s) Trade receivables Deposits Prepayments Other receivables (i) Note 2022 1,567 2,092 4,322 13,606 21,587 2021 1,427 2,205 1,811 5,882 11,325 (i) Other receivables include landlord fit-out contributions receivable. Impairment of receivables Recoverability of receivables is assessed monthly to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. 6 4 / P The recoverable amount of the Group’s receivables carried at amortised cost is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these financial assets). Significant receivables are individually assessed for impairment. Receivables with a short duration are not discounted. Information about the Group’s exposure to credit and market risks, and impairment losses for trade and other receivables is disclosed in Note C4. B2 INVENTORIES Recognition and measurement Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. Cost includes the product purchase cost, import freight and duties together with other costs incurred in bringing inventory to its present location and condition using the weighted average cost method. All stock on hand relates to finished goods. Costs of goods sold comprises purchase price from the supplier, cost of shipping product from supplier to warehouse, shrinkage and obsolescence. Warehouse and outbound freight costs are reported as distribution expenses. Inventories recognised as expenses during 2022 and included in cost of sales amount to $80,253,000 (2021: $59,234,000). During 2022, inventories of $8,439,000 (2021: $4,879,000) were written down to net realisable value and included in cost of sales. B3 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Recognition and measurement Owned Assets Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets. The cost of acquired assets includes estimates of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located where it is probable that such costs will be incurred. Subsequent costs The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the item will flow to the entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in the profit or loss as an expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortisation Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life on all property, plant and equipment. The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are re-assessed at least annually. Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements B3 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED) Derecognition An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing disposal proceeds with the carrying amount of the disposed asset and are recognised in the profit or loss in the year the disposal occurs.

In the 2021 additions, $24,572,000 are right-of-use assets from the acquisition of the retail assets of beeline GmbH. Right-of-use assets have been adjusted for the re-measurement of lease liabilities due to changes to existing lease terms, including extensions to existing lease terms. As a result of re-measurement adjustments exceeding the carrying value of the right-of-use asset, a gain of $1,696,000 has been recognised in Other Income in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the year ended 3 July 2022 (2021: $437,000). The Group has applied the IFRIC agenda decision, released in November 2019, clarifying how the lease term should be determined for arrangements that automatically renew until one of the parties gives notice to terminate. If a lease renewal is being actively sought and the lease renewal terms are reasonably known, the lease term has been adjusted to include the expected renewal term. If a lease renewal is not being sought, for example because the store will be relocated to a new location, the lease term has not been adjusted and the lease has not been recognised on the balance sheet. At 3 July 2022, the Group has executed leases for which the lease commencement date has not yet occurred. These leases have a duration of up to 10 years and once commenced will result in an increase in lease liabilities and right-of-use assets, on a total basis, of approximately $35,332,000 (2021: $9,152,000). The Group has consistently applied the practical expedient for COVID-19 related rent concessions whereby it has not accounted for rent concessions that are a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic as lease modifications. Rent concessions occur as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic if all the following conditions are met: • The change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change; • Any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022; and • There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. The Group has recognised rent concessions that are a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic of $2,539,000 in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended 3 July 2022 (2021: $3,341,000). Expenses relating to variable lease payments not included in lease liabilities of $9,849,000 have been recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended 3 July 2022 (2021: $2,446,000). 9 4 / P B5 INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL Recognition and measurement Goodwill Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised. Key Money Key money represents expenditure associated with acquiring existing operating lease agreements for company-operated stores in countries where there is an active market for key money (e.g. regularly published transaction prices), also referred to as ‘rights of use’. Key money is not amortised but annually tested for impairment. Key money in countries where there is not an active market for key money is amortised over the contractual lease period.

Property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated in line with the calculation methodology listed below. Cash-generating units An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. Goodwill is tested at the level at which it is monitored, identified by the Group as the country level. Key money is tested at the store level. Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are tested at the store level when there is an indication of impairment. Calculation of recoverable amount The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a post-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. Sensitivity analysis is performed on this modelling by using a range of discount rates reflecting the potential risk of variability in the underlying forecasts or regional or market specific risks. Cash flow forecasts Cash flow forecasts are based on the Group’s most recent plans, and are based on expectations of future outcomes having regard to market demand and past experience, incorporating the factors noted in the Assumptions and Estimates Uncertainties section in Setting the Scene in relation to current uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. For store level tests, cash flow forecasts are modelled for the length of the lease, identified as the essential asset for store CGUs. No terminal value is reflected in store level tests. Discount rates The Group applies a post-tax discount rate to post-tax cash flows. The post-tax discount rates incorporate a risk adjustment relative to the risks associated with the specific CGU (geographic position or otherwise), with a high and low range used to apply sensitivity analysis to the cash flow modelling. 0 5 / P Key assumptions for the impairment testing carried out at 3 July 2022 Stores with indicators of impairment at 3 July 2022 were identified in certain of the Group’s markets, requiring more detailed testing for certain stores. The following key assumptions were utilised for this impairment testing: • Discount rate by country applied based on a high and low range to provide sensitivity analysis. The discount rates applied to store tests in these countries were in the range of 10% to 15% pre-tax. • Growth rate based on expected impact of COVID in the short term, and subsequent sales profile by market as detailed in the Assumptions and Estimation Uncertainties section in Setting the Scene, with a longer term growth rate assumption of 3% in relation to sales and costs to allow for inflationary impacts until the end of the lease term which is considered to be the essential asset. No terminal value is included in discounted cash flow modelling at store level. As a result of this testing, an impairment expense of $905,000 was recognised for store fit-out and lease right-of-use assets (2021: $240,000 for key money). Refer to notes B3, B4 and B5 for further detail. Reversals of impairment An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in previous years are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. There were no reversals of impairment in the current or prior year. Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements B7 TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES Recognition and measurement Liabilities for trade payables and other amounts are carried at their amortised cost. Payables to related parties are carried at the principal amount. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an expense on an accrual basis.

Information about the Group’s exposure to currency and liquidity risk is included in Note C4. B8 PROVISIONS Recognition and measurement A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost. A provision for dividends is not recognised as a liability unless the dividends are declared, determined or publicly recommended on or before the reporting date.

The provision is the best estimate of the present value of the expenditure required to settle the restoration obligation at the reporting date, based on current legal requirements and technology. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes are reflected in the present value of the restoration provision at the end of the reporting period. Since the adoption of AASB 16 Leases from 1 July 2019, site restoration is now capitalised as part of the lease right-of-use asset and depreciated over the life of the lease term. For prior periods the amount of the provision for future restoration costs was capitalised as part of leasehold improvements and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvements. The unwinding of the effect of discounting on the provision was recognised as a finance cost. Key Estimates Expenditure to settle the restoration obligation at the end of the lease term is based on the Group’s best estimate. Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements B9 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Recognition and measurement Long-term service benefits The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term service benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The obligation is calculated using expected future increases in wage and salary rates including related on-costs and expected settlement dates, and is discounted using high quality Australian corporate bond rates at the balance sheet date which have maturity dates approximating to the terms of the Group’s obligations. Short-term benefits Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to reporting date, are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay as at reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax. Consolidated ($000s) Current Liability for annual leave Liability for long-service leave Non-Current Liability for long-service leave Total employee benefit liabilities 2022 2021 5,738 701 287 6,726 5,016 947 344 6,307 For details on the related employee benefit expenses, see Note A3. Defined contribution plans A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. 2 5 / P Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Note B10 LEASE LIABILITIES Recognition and measurement Consolidated ($000s) Balance at 29 June 2020 Liability recognised during the period (i) Re-measurement of lease liabilities Lease payments Interest Effect of movements in exchange rates Balance at 27 June 2021 Balance at 28 June 2021 Liability recognised during the period Re-measurement of lease liabilities Lease payments Interest Effect of movements in exchange rates Balance at 3 July 2022 Current lease liability Non-current lease liability Total 167,154 63,633 4,335 (35,469) 4,607 (3,573) 200,687 200,687 48,903 13,319 (53,917) 5,550 3,830 218,372 50,403 167,969 218,372 3 5 / P (i) Includes $41,813,000 from the acquisition of the retail assets of beeline GmbH. Additions to lease liabilities represent leases for new stores. In the 2021 additions, $41,813,000 are lease liabilities from the acquisition of the retail assets of beeline GmbH. Lease liabilities have been re-measured due to changes to existing lease terms, including extensions to existing lease terms. The Group has applied the practical expedient whereby lease liabilities have not been re-measured for rent concessions that are a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, refer to note B4. The timing of the contractual cash flows for the lease liabilities are disclosed in note C4(b). Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Risk & Capital Management This section discusses the Group’s capital management practices, as well as the instruments and strategies utilised by the Group in minimising exposures to and impact of various financial risks on the financial position and performance of the Group. C1 CAPITAL AND RESERVES Recognition and measurement Ordinary shares Initially, share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received. (a) Share capital Share Capital On issue at beginning of year Exercise of performance rights Share issue to Employee Share Trust On issue at end of year Treasury Shares 4 5 / P On issue at beginning of year Shares issued to trust Shares allocated on option exercise No. of Ordinary Shares Value of Ordinary Shares 2022 ‘000’s 2021 ‘000’s 2022 ‘000’s 2021 ‘000’s 107,460 107,460 234,165 234,165 - - - - - - - - 107,460 107,460 234,165 234,165 - - - - - - - - (20,288) (20,288) - - - - (20,288) (20,288) Share Capital After Treasury Shares 107,460 107,460 213,877 213,877 All ordinary shares rank equally with regard to the Company’s residual assets. (i) Ordinary shares The Company does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its issued shares. All issued shares are fully paid. The holders of these shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time, and are entitled to one vote per share at general meetings of the Company. All rights attached to the Company’s shares held by the Group are suspended until those shares are reissued. (ii) Treasury shares Treasury shares are shares in Lovisa Holdings Limited that are held by the Lovisa Holdings Limited Share Trust for the purposes of issuing shares under the Long Term Incentive Plans. When shares recognised as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, is recognised as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented in the treasury share reserve. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognised as an increase in equity and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is presented within share capital. Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements C1 CAPITAL AND RESERVES (CONTINUED) (b) Nature and purpose of reserves (i) Common control reserve The Group’s accounting policy is to use book value accounting for common control transactions. The book value used is the book value of the transferor of the investment. Book value accounting is applied on the basis that the entities are part of a larger economic group, and that the figures from the larger group are the relevant ones. In applying book value accounting, no entries are recognised in profit or loss; instead, the result of the transaction is recognised in equity as arising from a transaction with shareholders. The book value (carry-over basis) is accounted for on the basis that the investment has simply been moved from one Group owner to a new Group Company. In applying book value accounting, an adjustment may be required in equity to reflect any difference between the consideration received and the aggregated capital of the transferee. The adjustment is reflected in the ‘common control reserve’ capital account. (ii) Translation reserve The translation reserve reflects all foreign currency differences of the international entities upon translation to the Group’s functional currency. (iii) Hedging reserve The hedging reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of hedging instruments used in cash flow hedges pending subsequent recognition in profit or loss as the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss. Cash flow hedges When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The amount accumulated in equity is retained in other comprehensive income and reclassified to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects profit or loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss. (iv) Share-based payments reserve 5 5 / P The share-based payments reserve is used to recognise: • • • the grant date fair value of options issued to employees but not exercised the grant date fair value of shares issued to employees the grant date fair value of deferred shares granted to employees but not yet vested C2 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The Group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board of Directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements C3 LOANS AND BORROWINGS Recognition and measurement Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Information about the Group’s exposure to interest rate, foreign currency and liquidity risk is included in Note C4. (a) Terms and debt repayment schedule Terms and conditions of outstanding loans are as follows: Consolidated ($000s) Currency Cash advance facility Multi-option facility Total interest-bearing liabilities AUD AUD Nominal interest rate N/A N/A 3 July 2022 27 June 2021 Year of maturity Face value Carrying amount Face value Carrying amount 2023 - 10,000 10,000 - - 10,000 10,000 - - - - - - 6 5 / P The Group holds the following lines of credit with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA): • $30 million revolving cash advance facility (2021: $30 million) • $20 million multi option facility available for overdraft, trade finance and a contingent liability facility for global letters of credit and bank guarantees (2021: $20 million). The facilities were renewed during 2020, extending the maturity date of the facilities to 23 May 2023 (notwithstanding that individual products by virtue of their nature have their own maturity dates) and increasing the available credit limit as outlined above. The bank loans are secured by security interests granted by Lovisa Holdings Limited and a number of its subsidiaries over all of their assets in favour of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA). Under the facility the Group has financial covenants and has been in compliance with these through the year ended 3 July 2022. The Group holds a number of lines of credit which are solely for the purpose of providing bank guarantees as security for its store lease agreements. On 25 June 2021 the Group finalised a $20 million bank guarantee facility with HSBC Bank Australia Limited (HSBC) for global letters of credit and bank guarantees. The facility has been incorporated into the security deed for the CBA lending facilities. The financial covenants for the CBA facilities now also apply to this facility. As a result of the acquisition of the retail assets of beeline GmbH in 2021, two credit facilities for the provision of bank guarantees were assumed for the Belgian and Swiss operations for Euro 600,000 and CHF 550,000 respectively. These facilities are subject to annual credit reviews. Bank guarantee facilities were also assumed for the operations in Luxembourg, Germany, France, Netherlands and Austria. With the exception of Germany, these bank guarantee facilities are secured by restricted savings accounts, that is they are cash collateralised. Refer to note D2(a) for guarantees outstanding at 3 July 2022. Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements C4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – FAIR VALUES AND RISK MANAGEMENT (a) Fair values Recognition and measurement A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Group has established a control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, by the CFO. The Group periodically reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the Group assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified. Significant valuation issues are reported to the Group Audit, Business Risk and Compliance Committee. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows. • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the financial year during which the change has occurred. The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. 3 July 2022 Carrying Amount Fair Value Consolidated ($000s) Note Financial asset measured at fair value Derivatives Financial assets not measured at fair value Trade and other receivables Cash and cash equivalents Financial liabilities not measured at fair value Secured bank loans Trade and other payables B1 C5 C3 B7 Hedging instruments Loans and receivables Other financial assets/ liabilities Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total 1,682 1,682 - - 21,587 34,153 55,740 10,000 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1,682 1,682 21,587 34,153 55,740 10,000 - - - - - - - - 1,682 1,682 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1,682 1,682 - - - - - - - 47,397 47,397 10,000 47,397 57,397 7 5 / P Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements C4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – FAIR VALUES AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) (a) Fair values (continued) Recognition and measurement (continued) 27 June 2021 Carrying Amount Fair Value Consolidated ($000s) Note Financial liabilities measured at fair value Derivatives Financial assets not measured at fair value Trade and other receivables Cash and cash equivalents Financial liabilities not measured at fair value 8 5 / P Bank overdrafts Trade and other payables B1 C5 C5 B7 Hedging instruments Loans and receivables Other financial assets/ liabilities Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total 144 144 - - - - - - - - 11,325 35,552 46,877 - - - - - - - - - 144 144 11,325 35,552 46,877 - 33,693 33,693 33,693 33,693 - - - - - - - - 144 144 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 144 144 - - - - - - (i) Valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs The following tables show the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 2 and Level 3 fair values, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements C4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – FAIR VALUES AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) (b) Financial risk management The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments: • credit risk (see (b)(ii)) • liquidity risk (see (b)(iii)) • market risk (see (b)(iv)) (i) Risk Management framework The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework. The Board of Directors has established the Audit, Business Risk and Compliance Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Group’s risk management policies. The Committee reports regularly to the Board of Directors on its activities. The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. The Audit, Business Risk and Compliance Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The Committee’s specific function with respect to risk management is to review and report to the Board that: a) the Group’s ongoing risk management program effectively identifies all areas of potential risk; b) adequate policies and procedures have been designed and implemented to manage identified risks; c) a regular program of audits is undertaken to test the adequacy of and compliance with prescribed policies; and d) proper remedial action is undertaken to redress areas of weakness. (ii) Credit risk 9 5 / P Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and deposits placed for leased outlets. The Group’s credit risk on its receivables is recognised on the consolidated statement of financial position at the carrying amount of those receivable assets, net of any provisions for doubtful debts. Receivable balances and deposit balances are monitored on a monthly basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not considered to be material. Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and derivatives with banks and financial institutions. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘A’ are accepted by Lovisa. At the reporting date, the carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for impairment losses, represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk. There were no significant concentrations of credit risk. Past due but not impaired As at 3 July 2022, no trade receivables were past due but not impaired (2021: nil). The other classes within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. (iii) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. Cash flow forecasts are updated and monitored weekly. The Group maintains the following lines of credit secured by security interests granted by Lovisa Holdings Ltd and certain of its subsidiaries over all of their assets in favour of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA): • $30 million revolving cash advance facility; and • $20 million multi option facility available for overdraft, trade finance and a contingent liability facility for global letters of credit and bank guarantees. In addition, the Group holds a number of lines of credit which are solely for the purpose of providing bank guarantees as security for its store lease agreements. On 25 June 2021 the Group finalised a $20 million bank guarantee facility with HSBC Bank Australia Limited (HSBC) for global letters of credit and bank guarantees. Exposure to liquidity risk The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.

Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements C4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – FAIR VALUES AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) (b) Financial risk management (continued) (iv) Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices – such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices – will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The Group uses derivatives to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Audit, Business Risk and Compliance Committee. The Group also applies hedge accounting in order to manage volatility in profit or loss. Currency risk The Group is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchases and borrowings are denominated and the respective functional currencies of Group companies. The presentation currency of the Group is the Australian dollar (AUD) which is the functional currency of the majority of Lovisa. The currencies in which transactions are primarily denominated are Australian dollars, Euro, US dollars, British pounds and South African Rand. The Company’s foreign exchange policy is aimed at managing its foreign currency exposure in order to protect profit margins by entering into forward exchange contracts and currency options, specifically against movements in the USD rate against the AUD. The following table defines the range of cover that has been authorised by the Board relating to purchases over a defined period: Exposure Minimum Hedge Position Neutral Hedge Position Maximum Hedge Position Purchases 0 to 6 months Purchases 7 to 9 months Purchases 10 to 12 months Exposure to currency risk 60% 40% 30% 80% 50% 40% 100% 75% 50% The summary quantitative data about the Group’s exposure to currency risk as reported to the management of the Group is as follows: 3 July 2022 27 June 2021 In thousands of EUR USD GBP ZAR EUR USD GBP ZAR Cash and cash equivalents 8,891 7,593 3,771 5,642 13,443 3,920 1,997 8,343 Trade receivables Trade payables 17 - 732 232 602 - 159 (6,625) (1,023) (3,475) (119) (1,406) (6) (2,932) 235 910 Net statement of financial position exposure 2,283 6,570 1,028 5,753 12,639 3,914 (776) 9,488 Sensitivity analysis A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the USD, the EUR, the GBP or ZAR against all other currencies would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and affected profit or loss by the amounts shown below. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases. The translation of the net assets in subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the Australian dollar has not been included in the sensitivity analysis as part of the equity movement. There is no impact on equity as the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities represent cash, receivables and payables. 1 6 / P Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements C4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – FAIR VALUES AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) (b) Financial risk management (continued) (iv) Market risk (continued) Sensitivity Analysis (continued) Effect in thousands of dollars 3 July 2022 EUR (5 percent movement) USD (5 percent movement) GBP (5 percent movement) ZAR (5 percent movement) 27 June 2021 EUR (5 percent movement) USD (5 percent movement) GBP (5 percent movement) ZAR (5 percent movement) Interest rate risk Profit or loss Strengthening Weakening (109) (313) (49) (274) (602) (187) 37 (452) 120 346 54 303 665 207 (41) 499 2 6 / P The Group is subject to exposure to interest rate risk as changes in interest rates will impact borrowings which bear interest at floating rates. Any increase in interest rates will impact Lovisa’s costs of servicing these borrowings which may adversely impact its financial position. This impact is not assessed to be material. Increases in interest rates may also affect consumer sentiment and the level of customer demand, potentially leading to a decrease in consumer spending. Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments At 3 July 2022, if interest rates had changed by +/- 100 basis points from the year end rates with all other variables held constant, there would have been +/- $22,000 impact on pre tax profit for the year (27 June 2021: $nil), as a result of higher/lower interest expense from variable rate borrowings. There is no impact on equity. (c) Derivative assets and liabilities The Group holds derivative financial instruments to manage its foreign currency risk exposures. Recognition and measurement Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value; any directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as they are incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognised in profit or loss. Determination of fair values A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. Forward rate contracts The fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on their quoted price, if available. If a quoted price is not available, then fair value is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds).

There are no contingent liabilities that exist at 3 July 2022 (27 June 2021: none). D3 SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment awards granted to employees is generally recognised as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes. (a) Descriptions of the share-based payment arrangements The Board has issued share option programmes that entitle key management personnel and senior management to purchase shares in the Company. Under these programmes, holders of vested options are entitled to purchase shares at the market price of the shares at the grant date. Currently, these programmes are limited to key management personnel and senior management. All options are to be settled by physical delivery of shares. 6 6 / P Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements D3 SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS (CONTINUED) (a) Descriptions of the share-based payment arrangements (continued) At 3 July 2022 the Group has the following share-based payment arrangements: (i) Share option programmes (equity-settled) Long Term Incentives - Annual Programmes (FY 2020) Share Option Programme Options granted Grant date FY 2020 LTI October 2019 Number of instruments (000’s) Contractual life of options Vesting conditions 3.5 years Refer Performance Options granted table below 102 102 Performance Options granted to other Executives Company’s diluted EPS over the Performance Period % of Performance Options that become exercisable Less than threshold Equal to threshold Between threshold and stretch Stretch Nil 15% compound growth - 20% awarded 17.5% compound growth - 35% awarded 20% compound growth - 50% awarded 22.5% compound growth - 75% awarded 25% compound growth - 100% awarded Long Term Incentives - Annual Programmes (FY 2021) 7 6 / P Share Option Programme Options granted Grant date FY 2021 LTI October 2020 Number of instruments (000’s) Contractual life of options Vesting conditions 100 100 3 years Refer Performance Options granted table below Performance Options granted to other Executives Company’s EBIT for the financial year ending 2 July 2023 % of LTI Options that vest and become exercisable Less than $85m $85m - $90m $90m - $95m $95m - $100m $100m - $105m $105m + Nil 20% awarded 35% awarded 50% awarded 75% awarded 100% awarded Long Term Incentives - Annual Programmes (FY 2022) Share Option Programme Options granted Grant date FY 2022 LTI (CEO FY22 Tranche 1) November 2021 FY 2022 LTI (Exec FY22) August 2021 Number of instruments (000’s) Contractual life of options Vesting conditions 1 year Refer CEO Performance Options granted table below 3 years Refer Executive Performance Options granted table below 400 60 460 Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements D3 SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS (CONTINUED) (a) Descriptions of the share-based payment arrangements (continued) i) Share option programmes (equity-settled) (continued) 400,000 Performance Rights granted to the CEO under the CEO FY22 Tranche 1 Grant were approved at the Company’s AGM on 22 November 2021.

Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 3 July 2022 Valuation of Inventories ($50.2 million) Refer to Note B2 to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit A key audit matter for us was the Group’s valuation of inventories due to the: • • relative size of inventories (being 13.6% of total assets within the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position). judgement we applied to assess the Group’s provisioning for obsolete inventory. The Group sells fashion jewellery and is therefore subject to changing consumer demands and fashion trends. This increases the risk that, as trends change, products may either need to be sold at a discount below their recorded cost, or ultimately disposed of for zero value. Estimating the level of provisioning for obsolete inventory by the Group at product level, and therefore the value of inventories, requires consideration of the ageing and condition of products on hand, historic trends in write-offs, inventory turnover, seasonality of inventory and anticipated future sales. Such judgements may have a significant impact on the Group’s provisioning, and therefore the overall carrying value of inventories, necessitating our audit effort thereon. • Group’s policy for the shrinkage provision is calculated based on the inventory counts performed and expected misappropriation of inventories as a percentage of sales. We focus on the shrinkage provisioning calculation which is largely manual and is therefore at a greater risk of error. 9 7 / P Our procedures included: • Evaluating the appropriateness of the Group’s inventory provisioning policies against the requirements of the accounting standards. • Assessing the historical accuracy of the Group’s inventory provision against actual outcomes, to inform our evaluation of the current year provisioning and key judgements; • Challenging the Group’s judgements within their obsolete inventory provisioning, particularly the extent to which aged and seasonal inventory can be sold, taking into account our knowledge of the industry and past Group performance; • Analysing current and historic trends in inventory turnover and ageing to identify indicators of slow-moving or obsolete inventory and therefore those inventory items at higher risk of obsolescence. We compared this to the Group’s inventory ageing report. • Checking the integrity of the Group’s inventory ageing report at 3 July 2022, as a key input used in the obsolete inventory provisioning, by comparing on a sample basis inventory age per the report to purchase invoices. • Attending a sample of inventory counts across the Group’s store and warehouse locations: o to observe the condition of a sample of products held. We did this to check the condition of products assumed in their recorded inventory value. o to observe the Group’s shrinkage process. • Analysing the inventory shrinkage provision levels by region against sales, including against historical trends. • Assessing the integrity of the provisioning calculations. This included checking the accuracy of the formulas within the calculations. • Comparing a statistical sample of inventory product values recorded by the Group at yearend, to the Group’s post year-end recommended retail selling prices to identify products at risk of selling below cost.
