TCM Group Management's review

Interim report Q1 2019 (January 1 - March 31)

(All figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period in 2018)

A strong start of 2019 - Q1 with organic growth of 17%

Financial highlights Q1

  • Revenue DKK 249.7 million (DKK 213.6 million) corresponding to an organic growth of 16.9%. The growth was supported by a higher number of production days in the quarter compared to last year due to the timing of Easter.
  • Adjusted EBITA up DKK 4.5 million to DKK 32.9 million (DKK 28.4 million), corresponding to an increase of 15.7%. Adjusted EBITA margin was 13.2% (13.3%), negatively affected by the sales mix with a higher growth rate within the B2B market and a higher share of revenue from 3rd party products.
  • EBIT up DKK 6.5 million to DKK 31.0 million (DKK 24.5 million), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 12.4% (11.5%). Non-recurring items had a negative impact of DKK 2.0 million in Q1 2018 due to costs related to the integration of Nettoline.
  • Net profit up 29.8% to DKK 23.4 million (DKK 18.0 million).
  • Free cash flow excl. acquisitions of operations was DKK 2.3 million (DKK 24.6 million). In Q1 2018 free cash flow included a positive effect from the sale of a production site of DKK 16.6 million.
  • Cash conversion ratio was 94.3% (109.4%).
  • We reiterate our full-year guidance for the financial year 2019 which is revenue in the range DKK 960- 1,000 million, adjusted EBITA in the range DKK 155-165 million, and EBIT in the range DKK 145-155 million as announced in the 2018 annual report.

CEO Ole Lund Andersen:

"Q1 was a strong start of 2019 with an organic revenue growth of 17%, and similar strong growth in earnings. We are pleased that we continue to gain market share and at the same time are opening new stores across our brands. In Q1, we delivered strong growth especially within the B2B market, and we are pleased that our strategic focus and efforts are paying off. We continue to see good activity in the Danish market, and we confirm our full-year guidance."

Business review

Revenue in Q1 2019 increased by 16.9% to DKK 249.7 million (DKK 213.6 million). The revenue growth was entirely organic and supported by a higher number of production days due to the timing of Easter, which will be off-set by fewer production days in Q2 2019 compared to last year.

TCM Group's primary market is Denmark with 90% of Group revenue in Q1 2019. Revenue in Denmark was DKK 225.6 million (DKK 190.3 million), with an organic growth of 18.6%. In Q1, growth was driven by the Svane Køkkenet and Tvis Køkkener branded stores primarily within the B2B market. The total market for kitchen and related products in Denmark developed positively during Q1 2019 compared to same period 2018 with an estimated market growth of 1-2%. TCM Group thus continues to gain market shares through our strong brands and continued product innovation.

Revenue in other countries was up 3.0% to DKK 24.1 million (DKK 23.4 million), primarily due to an increase in sales to the Norwegian market through branded stores. This was partly off-set by a decline in sale of non-branded DIY kitchens.

At the end of Q1 2019, the total number of Svane and Tvis branded stores was 66 (62). During Q1 2019, a new Svane Køkkenet store opened in Køge. Furthermore a new Svane Køkkenet store in Drammen, Norway, opened in April 2019. With this new store, the number of branded stores will increase to 67.

The 2019 introduction from Svane Køkkenet, S19, has been well received by the market. We have seen a positive reaction and a high demand for the new collection, which underlines the importance of our focus on innovation.

Total number of employees at the end of Q1 2019 was 468 (449). The increase in number of employees was primarily due to manning up in production to increase capacity to support the revenue growth in the last 12 months.

Other events in Q1 2019

Peter Jelkeby resigned from the Board of Directors of TCM Group as of 31 January 2019.

The Svane Køkkenet store in Aabenraa has been sold with effect from 1 February 2019. The divestment had no material impact on the Q1 result.

Events after the reporting period

The Annual General Meeting was held on 11 April 2019 and Danny Feltmann Espersen was appointed as new board member. Danny is CEO of MENU and has an extensive management career at KappAhl, Bang & Olufsen and Hennes & Mauritz. He brings to the Board of Directors experience within Nordic retail, digital execution and interior design. The Board of Directiors herafter consists of five independent board members, all elected by the annual general meeting.

Apart from the events recognized or disclosed in the consolidated interim financial statements, no other events have occurred after the reporting period of importance to the consolidated interim financial statements.

Financial outlook

We reiterate our full-year guidance for the financial year 2019 which is revenue in the range DKK 960-1,000 million, adjusted EBITA in the range DKK 155-165 million, and EBIT in the range DKK 145-155 million as announced in the 2018 annual report.

The guidance is based on the estimate that the Danish market is expected to grow by 1-2% in 2019.

Forward looking statements

This interim report contains statements relating to the future, including statements regarding TCM Group's future operating results, financial position, cash flows, business strategy and plans for the future. The statements are based on management's reasonable expectations and forecasts at the time of the disclosure of the report. Any such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and a number of different factors, many of which are beyond TCM Group's control, could mean that actual performance and actual results will differ significantly from the expectations expressed in this interim report. Without being exhaustive, such factors include general economic and commercial factors, including market and competitive matters, supplier issues and financial issues.

Financial review

Revenue

In Q1 2019 revenue grew organically by 16.9% to DKK 249.7 million (DKK 213.6 million).

Revenue in Denmark in Q1 2019 was up 18.6% to DKK 225.6 million (DKK 190.3 million) driven by growth in the Svane Køkkenet and Tvis Køkkener branded stores primarily within the B2B market. Revenue in other countries in Q1 2019 was up 3.0% to DKK 24.1 million (DKK 23.4 million).

Gross profit

Gross profit in Q1 2019 was DKK 63.4 million (DKK 55.9 million), corresponding to a gross margin of 25.4% (26.2%). The gross margin was negatively affected compared to Q1 2018 by the sales mix with a higher growth rate within the B2B market and a higher share of revenue from 3rd party products.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses in Q1 2019 were DKK 32.4 million (DKK 29.4 million). Operating expenses represented 13.0% of revenue in Q1 2019, which was a decrease of 0.8%-point compared to Q1 2018.

EBITDA

EBITDA in Q1 2019 was DKK 36.0 million (DKK 30.4 million), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 14.4% (13.3%). The increase in EBITDA was primarily driven by revenue growth. EBITDA was positively affected by the implementation of IFRS 16 as of 1 January 2019 by DKK 1.2 million, corresponding to an impact on EBITDA margin of 0.5%-point.

Adjusted EBITA

Adjusted EBITA in Q1 2019 was DKK 32.9 million (DKK 28.4 million), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 13.2% (13.3%). The increase in adjusted EBITA was primarily driven by revenue growth. Depreciations were DKK 3.1 million (DKK 2.0 million). The increase in depreciations was due to the implementation of IFRS 16, which increased depreciations by DKK 1.3 million.

Non-recurring items

TCM Group presents non-recurring items separately to ensure comparability. Non-recurring items consist of income and expenses that are special and of a nonrecurring nature and are specified below:

Q1 12 months
Non-recurring items, DKK m 2019 2018 2018
Costs related to integration of Nettoline 0.0 2.0 2.0
Total 0.0 2.0 2.0

EBIT

EBIT in Q1 2019 increased to DKK 31.0 million (DKK 24.5 million). The increase was primarily due to the profit impact from the revenue growth and non-recurring items in Q1 2018. Amortizations were on par with Q1 2018. The implementation of IFRS 16 had no significant impact on EBIT.

Net profit

Net profit in Q1 2019 increased to DKK 23.4 million (DKK 18.0 million). The increase was primarily due to an increase in EBIT. Financial expenses had a positive impact on net profit of DKK 0.7 million primarily due to improved interest rate terms and lower debt. The implementation of IFRS 16 affected financial expenses negatively by DKK 0.1 million.

Free cash flow excl. acquisitions of operation and cash conversion

Free cash flow excl. acquisitions of operation in Q1 2019 was DKK 2.3 million (DKK 24.6 million). The decrease in cash flow in Q1 2019 compared to Q1 2018 was primarily due to sale of the production site in Horsens in Q1 2018 with a positive effect of DKK 16.6 million, change in net working capital of DKK (26.4) million (DKK (15.6) million) and higher investments in Q1 2018 of DKK 3.5 million (DKK 0.8 million). This was partly off-set by the higher operating profit. Cash conversion in Q1 2019 was 94.3% (109.4%).

Net working capital

Net working capital at the end of Q1 2019 was DKK -67.9 million (DKK -65.2 million). NWC ratio at the end of Q1 2019 was -7.3% (-7.9%).

End of Q1
DKK million 2019 2018
Inventory 37.8 40.1

Trade and other payables (190.9) (170.6)
Net working capital (67.9) (65.2)
NWC ratio (7.3%) (7.9%)

The decrease in inventory of DKK 2.3 million was primarily due to improved inventory management.

Trade and other receivables increased by DKK 20.0 million was primarily due to the revenue growth and the timing of Easter holiday compared to last year at the end of Q1. Other receivables as of 31 March 2019 presented above is excluding the value of DKK 28.3 million, which relates to subleases due to the implementation of IFRS 16. This is not included in the net working capital.

The increase in trade and other payables of DKK 20.3 million was primarily due to the higher activity level.

Net interest-bearing debt amounted to DKK 139.3 million at the end of Q1 2019 (DKK 206.6 million). Net interestbearing debt increased by DKK 48.6 million in Q1 2019 primarily due to the implementation of IFRS 16, which had an impact on net interest-bearing debt of DKK 46.6 million at the end of Q1 2019. The leverage ratio measured as net interest bearing debt excluding tax liabilities divided by adjusted EBITDA LTM end of Q1 2019 was 0.85 (1.50).

Equity

Equity at the end of Q1 2019 amounted to DKK 432.3 million (DKK 322.8 million). The equity increased by DKK 23.5 million in Q1 2019, which was due to net profit for the period.

Notes to the consolidated interim financial statements

1. Accounting policies

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for listed companies. TCM Group has applied the same accounting policies in this interim report as were applied in the consolidated financial statements for 2018 prepared in accordance with IFRS, why reference is made to note 1 of these financial statements for accounting policies and for definitions of key figures and ratios on pages 43-50 and 72.

Impact from new IFRS standards

TCM Group A/S has implemented the latest International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and amendments effective as of 1 January 2019 as adopted by the European Union.

Of the new standards and amendments implemented the most significant is IFRS 16, which is described below.

IFRS 16 Leases replaced IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease and related rules with application from 1 January 2019. The new standard entails for lessees that all leases that meet the definition in the standard of a lease are to be recognized as an asset and liability in the balance sheet, with depreciation and interest expense recognized in profit or loss.

As of 1 January 2019, TCM Group has recognized additional lease liabilities of DKK 49.1 million, right-of-use assets of DKK 19.4 million and other receivables regarding subleases of DKK 29.7 million. In Q1 2019 the implementation of IFRS 16 has affected EBITDA positively with 1.2 million and profit before tax negatively by DKK 0.1 million. There is no significant impact on EBITA margin with a negative impact of less than 0.1% points. Solvency ratio is negatively affected with 2.6%-points.

Transition and exemption rules

TCM Group has applied the modified retrospective approach. This means that the accumulated effect of IFRS 16 is recognized in profit brought forward in the opening balance for 1 January 2019 without restating comparative figures. TCM Group has measured the right-of-use (the asset) at the amount corresponding to the lease liability (before adjustment for advance payments), which entails that the accumulated effect in profit brought forward in the opening balance does not arise.

TCM Group has applied the exemption rule of "grandfathering" the former definition of leases existing at transition. This means that the Group has applied IFRS 16 on all leases signed before 1 January 2019 and that were identified as leases according to IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. TCM Group has also applied the exemption rule of using the same discount rate for a portfolio of leases with dimilar characteristics.

TCM Group has also applied the exemption rule of not including long-term leases whose remaining lease term is less than 12 months from the date of initial application. The Group has no short-term leases (leases with a term of maximum 12 months) or any leases of a low value (assets valued at about DKK 33.000 in new condition). If such leases occurs, they will not be included in the lease liability.

Interest rate swaps have expired in Q1 2019 and therefore have a value of DKK 0.0 million (DKK (0.5) million). Interest rate swaps are valued using an income approach (discounted cash flow). Expected future cash flows are based on relevant observable swap rates and discounted using a discount rate that reflects the credit risk of the relevant counterparties (level 2).

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost is approximately equal to carrying amount, due to the short maturity of financial assets and the floating rate of the financial liabilities.

5. Related party transactions

Except for remuneration to senior executives and Board of Directors, there were no other transactions with related parties.

The Board of Directors and the Executive Management today considered and adopted the interim report of TCM Group A/S for the period 1 January 2019 – 31 March 2019.

The interim report, which has been neither audited nor reviewed by the company's auditors, was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for listed companies.

Furthermore, in our opinion, the management review includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business, the results for the period and of the Group's financial position in general and describes the principal risks and uncertainties that it faces.
