CEO Juha Kalliokoski:

"The corona pandemic significantly decreased used car sales in April. Sales started to recover in May and were already strong in June. Our quick response and our flexible business model enabled us to improve profitability in these exceptional circumstances. We carried out several measures related to ensuring safe customer interaction and safe working conditions as well as purchasing volumes and inventory management. In the second quarter of 2020, Kamux Group's revenue decreased by -4.3%, but the adjusted operating profit grew by 1.6%.

In Finland, the operating profit adjusted for special items increased to EUR 8.1 million (7.6) in the second quarter. This is an excellent accomplishment considering that Kamux's revenue in Finland decreased by 7.5%. In Finland, the operating profit in the second quarter was affected by a EUR 0.9 million tax refund related to taxes from previous financial years.

In Sweden, the restrictions related to the corona pandemic were lighter than in Finland and Germany, but they impacted people's mobility and behavior. In Sweden, revenue increased slightly, and profitability was at previous year's level.

In April, the showrooms in Germany were closed for two and a half weeks due to a government order. Despite the opening of the stores, wearing a mask is still compulsory and many strict regulations remain in force. Even in the extremely exceptional circumstances, total revenue in Germany increased by 17% compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. Thanks for this go to our German personnel, who were determined and persistent in the challenging operating environment.

Our strengths in the second quarter also included our inventory turnover and our digitally focused operating model, which enabled car sales also during strict mobility restrictions. Kamux's strong financial position provides a solid basis for possible new waves of the pandemic.

We appointed Karri Kauppila as acting Country Director of Kamux Sweden as of August 1. Under Karri's lead, we will continue working ambitiously to build profitable growth in the Swedish market. Karri has several years of business experience from Sweden and strong experience especially in marketing and sales, as well as in people management."

Outlook and financial targets

Kamux does not provide a short-term outlook. The company's medium-term annual financial targets for 2019−2022 are to increase revenue by over 10% and to reach an operating profit margin of at least 4% as well as a dividend payout of at least 30% of the profit for the financial year.

The global corona pandemic and the restrictions and regulations related to it have caused significant changes to Kamux's operating environment, leading to the company publishing a stock exchange release on March 20, 2020, informing that it is not likely that Kamux will reach its medium-term targets in 2020. No changes have been made to the medium-term targets set by the Board of Directors because of the situation.

Market review

The measures taken due to the corona pandemic and their effects varied in Finland, Sweden and Germany in the second quarter. In Finland, the infection reproduction number decreased below 1 in the spring and early summer, and restrictions and recommendations were eased. Meanwhile, Sweden continued its recommendation-based coronavirus approach, and the number of infections and coronavirus-related deaths kept increasing. Germany was under a wide lockdown, closing e.g. retail stores in March and April. Even though restrictions were eased in late April, strict recommendations on mobility and shopping were in place from April to June and wearing a face mask was compulsory when visiting shops and running errands.

Manufacturing of new cars was practically halted for many weeks due to the corona pandemic in the spring. In the European Union region, new car registrations decreased by -38.1% in the first half of 2020, by -22.3% in June, by -52.3% in May and by -76.3% in April (ACEA).

According to the company's estimate, the used car market was at previous year's level in Finland and increased in Sweden compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. The company estimates that it continued to be a market leader in Finland and among the ten largest used car retailers in Sweden. Kamux estimates that its share of the used car market in Germany increased during the second quarter. It is, however, still marginal. According to Kamux's estimate, Germany's used car market declined during the second quarter compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.

Kamux estimates that the used car market sizes in 2019 in the countries in which Kamux operates were as follows: approximately 0.5 million cars sold yearly in Finland, approximately 1.2 million cars in Sweden, and approximately 7.2 million cars in Germany. Kamux estimates that the used car market size in all three operating countries totals approximately 9 million sold cars annually, which is more than EUR 100 billion.

During the second quarter of 2020, the company received a notice of changes in shareholdings pursuant to Chapter 9, Section 5 of the Finnish Securities Markets Act as follows:

On June 24, 2020, Intera Fund II Ky announced that the total holdings of shares and voices of Intera Fund II Ky in Kamux Corporation has fallen below the 15 percent flagging threshold.

Tax reassessment decision

In June 2018, Kamux announced that it had received a tax reassessment decision from the Finnish Tax Administration. The decision was related to a tax audit carried out by the Finnish Tax Administration in 2016―2018 concerning Kamux Suomi Oy and the tax years 2012―2016. Kamux expensed the total amount of the tax reassessment decision, approximately EUR 2.6 million, in full in its result for the second quarter of 2018. However, Kamux considered the decision to be unfounded and appealed against the decision.

In June 2020, The Finnish Tax Administration's Adjustment Board partially approved the appeal by Kamux on the tax reassessment decision and ruled that the company receive a refund of approximately EUR 0.9 million. Kamux recognized the total amount of the refund, EUR 0.9 million, in its result for the second quarter of 2020 as credit in other operating expenses. Both parties have the opportunity to appeal the decision. Kamux considers the decision of the Adjustment Board unfounded, and the company plans to place the issue before the Administrative Court and apply for a rectification of the Board of Adjustment's ruling.

Short-term risks and uncertainties

According to the company's assessment, there have been material changes in the short-term risks and uncertainties during the review period due to the ongoing corona pandemic.

The global corona pandemic and the restrictions and regulations related to it have caused significant changes to Kamux's operating environment. The exceptional circumstances widely impact people's lives, health, mobility, financial situation and the business of companies. There are many uncertainties related to the situation and the spread or duration of the pandemic that have already impacted Kamux's business, financial position and results of operations negatively and might continue to do so in the future as well.

Kamux's revenue and operating profit have experienced strong growth in recent years. However, in the future, Kamux's revenue and operating profit may increase more slowly or decrease compared to the historical performance.

Kamux's geographical expansion involves several risks, and any failure in recognizing suitable co-operation partners, recruiting new employees or achieving estimated benefits from internationalization may have a material adverse effect on Kamux. Furthermore, the company's success will depend on, inter alia, the company's management and other skilled employees, as well as its ability to recruit, develop, train, motivate and retain skilled employees.

Kamux's rapid and strong growth and business expansion during the past few years have set new requirements for the scope and monitoring of internal guidelines and policies. Any failure in the implementation and monitoring of these guidelines or policies may lead to financial consequences for Kamux and weaken the company's reputation.

Kamux operates in the used car retail market, and uncertain general economic conditions in the countries in which Kamux operates may have an adverse effect on Kamux's business, financial position and results of operations.

Kamux operates in a competitive and fragmented used car market, and competition may increase in the future.

Changes in car tax legislation or preparation of legislation may have a material adverse effect on the sales of new and used cars and on Kamux. Kamux's tax burden could increase as a result of changes to tax laws or their application or as a result of a tax audit. Public discussion on car power sources and possible changes in power sources as well as political decisions related to power sources may seasonally have an effect on Kamux's business, considering that the consumer demand may fluctuate.

Kamux's IT systems are pivotal to the company's operations, and they cover all the major areas of the business. Failure of the IT systems and services to operate as planned may disturb Kamux's operations and have an adverse effect on its business.

Kamux believes that its brand and reputation among its customers are important for the company's success. Kamux's failure to maintain an adequate service level or an adverse event that damages the company's reputation may have a significant adverse effect on Kamux.

The main principles of Kamux's risk management are described in the consolidated financial statements and on the website at www.kamux.com.

Events after the reporting period

On July 29, 2020 Kamux appointed Mr. Karri Kauppila (BBA) as acting Country Director of Kamux Sweden from August 1, 2020. The previous Swedish Country Director, Mr. Robin Toss, has decided to leave the company, but he will continue to work at Kamux Sweden until the end of the year.

On August 13, 2020 The Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation decided on the payment of the second dividend instalment of EUR 0.11 per share, based on the decision of the Annual General Meeting on April 21, 2020. The dividend will be paid to shareholders who are registered in the shareholders' register maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the record date, October 23, 2020. The dividend payment date will be October 30, 2020. Following the dividend payment, Kamux will have distributed a total dividend of EUR 0.23 per share in 2020 according to the decision of the Annual General Meeting.

Calculation of key figures and alternative performance measures

Kamux presents alternative performance measures as additional information to performance measures presented in the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of cash flows prepared in accordance with IFRS. In Kamux's view, the alternative

performance measures provide significant additional information related to Kamux's operating results, financial position and cash flows, and they are widely utilized by analysts, investors and other parties.

The alternative performance measures should not be considered separately from measures under IFRS or as substitutes for corresponding measures under IFRS. All companies do not calculate alternative performance measures in a uniform way and therefore the alternative performance measures presented by Kamux may not be comparable with similarly named measures presented by other companies.

Kamux Corporation's Half Year Financial Report for January−June 2020

Key accounting policies

This Half Year Financial Report has been prepared according to the IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting standard. The Half Year Financial Report is based on the same accounting policies and calculation methods as used in the financial statements for the year 2019 as well as on the new and amended IFRS standards described in the financial statements for the year 2019. However, the Half Year Financial Report does not include all the information and notes that are presented in the Annual Financial Statements. As such, the Half Year Financial Report should be read together with the Annual Financial Statements for the year 2019. The same accounting principles are applied in this Half Year Financial Report as in the Annual Financial Statements, and also the exceptional situation caused by the corona pandemic has been taken into consideration in the accounting principles applied in preparation of this Half Year Report.

The figures presented in the Half Year Financial Report are independently rounded.

Preparing the Half Year Financial Report requires the management to make accounting estimates and judgments as well as assumptions that affect the application of the accounting principles and the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual outcomes may differ from these estimates and judgments. In preparation of this Half Year Financial Report, the most significant estimates made by the management relating to the group's accounting policies and uncertainties are the same as those applied in the Financial Statements for the year 2019.

The Half Year Financial Report is unaudited.

* Goodwill in the balance sheet is allocated to the operating segment Finland which is profitable. In accordance with management's estimate, the corona pandemic has not caused any indication of impairment of goodwill.

**Inventory is measured at lower of cost and estimated selling price of the car i.e. net realizable value which is determined based on management's judgment, market information and historical data. If the estimated selling price

of the car is lower than the cost, the inventory value for the car will be written down through profit or loss in the item Materials and services. In accordance with management's estimate, the market situation caused by the corona pandemic has not given a reason to recognize material exceptional inventory write-downs in the balance sheet as per June 30, 2020.

***Trade receivables consist mainly of receivables from finance companies. Receivables originate when there is a temporary time lag between the approved credit decision and a payment made by the finance company. During that time lag Kamux has a temporary credit risk from finance companies. The company mitigates the credit risk by dealing only with highly rated finance company counterparties. The trade receivables as per June 30, 2020 do not include material past due items and there was no need to recognize material impairment losses.
