Interim Report Q1 2018

STOCKMANN plc, Interim Report 27.4.2018 at 8:00 EET

First-quarter adjusted operating result on a par with the previous year

January–March 2018, continuing operations:

  • Consolidated revenue was EUR 202.4 million (216.9).
  • Gross margin was 55.1% (53.3).
  • Adjusted operating result was EUR -24.8 million (-25.1).
  • Reported operating result was EUR -26.9 million (-25.1).
  • Adjusted earnings per share were EUR -0.42 (-0.39).
  • Guidance unchanged:

Stockmann expects the Group's revenue for 2018 to be on a par with the previous year. Adjusted operating profit is expected to improve in 2018.

CEO Lauri Veijalainen:

Our first-quarter performance was at last year's level, as we had estimated. Our revenue declined, but gross margin improved. Our inventories are on a healthy level, and thus there were considerably smaller markdowns in the first quarter than in 2017. We expect a similar margin development to continue throughout the rest of the year.

As the affordable fashion market is changing rapidly, Lindex will look more closely at its store network. Loss-making stores will be closed. The total number of stores is estimated to decrease by over 20 stores this year, compared to 2017. This is more than we estimated at the start of the year and reflects the weakened development in the Swedish fashion market.

Real Estate continued to perform well during the quarter thanks to increased rental income in all markets. Investigations related to possible divestments of the Nevsky Centre and the Book House have actively continued. Both properties are now classified as assets held for sale.

In Retail, Stockmann also launched a digital acceleration project at the beginning of 2018, with the aim of increasing e-commerce and reinforcing the omnichannel approach. As part of the digital project, Stockmann has made a digital partnership agreement with OP Bank.

The Crazy Days campaign, which took place at Stockmann stores after the first quarter, went very well. Campaign sales were up by a total of 4%, with clear growth both in Finland and the Baltics. The online store achieved a sales growth of 19%, which demonstrates that Crazy Days now is a truly omnichannel campaign. The successful campaign give us a solid start to the spring sales.

Stockmann uses Alternative Performance Measures according to the guidelines of the European Securities and Market Authority (ESMA) to better reflect the operational business performance and to facilitate comparisons between financial periods. Gross profit is calculated by deducting the costs of goods sold from the revenue, and gross margin is calculated by dividing gross profit by the revenue as a percentage. EBITDA is calculated from the operating result excluding depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating result (EBIT) are measures which exclude non-recurring items and other adjustments affecting comparability from the reported EBITDA and reported operating result (EBIT). See further information in the notes to the Interim Report.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The general economic situation has recovered in Finland, and consumer confidence continued to improve during the first quarter. However, the fashion market in Finland in January–March was -2.3% (Q1 2017: -1.5%, source: Textile and Fashion Suppliers and Retailers in Finland, TMA).

In Sweden, the general economic situation has improved, but the fashion market was -5.7% in January–March (Q1 2017: -2.8%, source: Swedish Trade Federation, Stilindex).

The retail market in the Baltic countries continued its growth both in Estonia and Latvia.

REVENUE AND EARNINGS IN CONTINUING OPERATIONS

January–March 2018

The Stockmann Group's first-quarter revenue was EUR 202.4 million (216.9). Revenue was down 6.7% from the previous year, which was partly due to clearance sales. This was significantly smaller than in 2017 but led to a better gross margin. The comparison figure includes the revenue of the Oulu department store which was closed in January 2017.

The revenue in Finland was EUR 75.8 million (81.3), which was down 6.8%. Revenue in other countries was down by 6.6%, to EUR 126.6 million (135.6).

The gross profit amounted to EUR 111.6 million (115.7) and the gross margin was 55.1% (53.3). The gross margin was up in both Lindex and Stockmann Retail due to reduced clearance sales and lower markdowns.

Adjusted operating costs were down by EUR 3.6 million, and amounted to EUR 122.2 million (125.7). Stockmann and Lindex carried out restructuring measures during the first quarter of 2018. As outcome, Lindex reduced 71 positions mainly at its headquarters in Sweden, and 74 people were laid off in Stockmann's supply chain, finance and HR functions in Finland. The target is to achieve annual cost savings of EUR 8 million at Stockmann and EUR 10 million at Lindex, by the end of 2018. Adjustments related to these restructuring measures were EUR 2.0 million, of which EUR 1.1 was booked in Stockmann Retail, EUR 0.3 million in Lindex and the rest in the Group's unallocated costs.

The Group's adjusted EBITDA was EUR -10.6 million (-10.0). Depreciation was EUR 14.2 million (15.0).

The adjusted operating result for the first quarter was EUR -24.8 million (-25.1). The reported operating result was EUR -26.9 million (-25.1).

FINANCING AND CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Cash flow from operating activities came to EUR -61.9 million (-78.1) in the first quarter. Cash and cash equivalents totalled EUR 13.4 million (10.4).

Comparable inventories were significantly below the previous year's level. Total inventories were EUR 182.6 million (199.8, or 205.6 including Stockmann Delicatessen in Finland).

Interest-bearing liabilities at the end of March were EUR 817.5 million (846.5), of which long-term debt amounted to EUR 447.0 million (426.1). Part of the short-term debt has been raised in the commercial paper market. The Group has undrawn, long-term committed credit facilities of EUR 140.9 million and uncommitted, short-term credit facilities of EUR 491.1 million. Stockmann also has a EUR 84.3 million hybrid bond which is treated as equity.

The equity ratio at the end of March was 41.6% (46.1), and net gearing was 94.6% (79.9).

The Group's capital employed at the end of March was EUR 1 666.6 million (1 888.1). The return on capital employed over the past 12 months was -8.9% (1.4).

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

Capital expenditure totalled EUR 7.8 million (7.8) in the first quarter. Most of the capital expenditure was used for Lindex store refurbishments and digitalisation. Depreciation was EUR 14.2 million (15.0).

REVENUE AND EARNINGS BY DIVISION

Stockmann's divisions and reportable segments are Lindex, Stockmann Retail and Real Estate. Stockmann Retail includes non-food department store operations in Finland and non-food and food operations in the Baltic countries.

January–March 2018

Lindex's revenue for the quarter was down by 6.8%, to EUR 114.8 million (123.2). The same-store sales at comparable exchange rates were down by 5.3%. Comparable sales decreased in the Nordic countries and Lithuania, whereas sales increased in the other markets and in the online store.

The gross margin for the quarter was 57.7% (57.2). The gross margin was up due to decreased markdowns.

Operating costs were down by EUR 2.7 million, mainly due to currency exchange rates.

The adjusted operating result for the quarter was EUR -15.9 million and reported operating result was EUR -16.2 million (-14.7), as a result of lower sales compared with the previous year.

Store network

Lindex opened 2 stores and closed 6 stores during the first quarter. In 2018, Lindex will mainly focus on optimising its store locations. Unprofitable stores will either move to new locations or close down. Some new store openings in attractive locations and with new formats will be launched. The total number of stores at the end of year is estimated to decrease by over 20 stores, compared to 2017.

Revenue, EUR mill. 76.3 83.7
Gross margin, % 44.7 42.0
Operating result, EUR mill. -17.2 -14.7
Adjusted operating result, EUR mill. -16.2 -14.7
Capital expenditure, EUR mill. 0.3 2.4

January–March 2018

Stockmann Retail's revenue for the quarter was EUR 76.3 million (83.7). The comparison figure also includes the revenue of the Oulu department store which was closed in January 2017. Revenue in comparable stores was down by 6.9%, which is partly explained by the significantly reduced clearance sales.

Revenue in Finland was EUR 57.0 million (64.2). Revenue in comparable stores was down by 8.6% compared with the previous year. Revenue in the Baltic department stores was down by 1.5%, to EUR 19.2 million (19.5).

The gross margin for the quarter was 44.7% (42.0). The gross margin improved due to reduced clearance sales and fewer price-driven campaigns.

Operating costs were up by EUR 1.7 million and amounted to EUR 47.9 million (46.2) due to increased rental costs in Helsinki, Tapiola and Tallinn, and higher costs in support functions.

EBITDA was EUR -13.8 million (-11.1). The adjusted operating result for the quarter was EUR -16.2 million and the reported operating result was EUR -17.2 million (-14.7).

REAL ESTATE

Operating result, EUR mill. 7.5 6.4
Capital expenditure, EUR mill. 0.9 0.7

January–March 2018

Real Estate's revenue for the quarter was EUR 17.9 million (17.0). The main reason for the increase was higher rent levels than in the previous year in all markets.

The net operating income of the Stockmann-owned properties was EUR 13.2 million (12.9). The average monthly rent from these properties was EUR 38.60 per square metre (37.76).

The operating profit for the quarter was EUR 7.5 million (6.4).

Properties

The five properties owned by Stockmann have a gross leasable area (GLA) of 142 000 m2 in total. At the end of March 2018, Stockmann Retail was using 46% of the total GLA. Excluding the Nevsky Centre and the Book House, 74% was being used by Stockmann Retail. The occupancy rate of the properties remained at a high level, at 99.5% (99.1).

S-Group's cooperatives started as tenants and sub-tenants in Stockmann's premises as of 1 January 2018. The Stockmann Delicatessen business in Finland was transferred from Stockmann to S-Group on 31 December 2017. During the first quarter of 2018, Biang opened a restaurant in the Helsinki department store and Espresso House opened a café in the Tampere department store.

On 1 January 2018, the fair value of Stockmann's properties amounted to EUR 973.0 million, of which the value of Book House in Helsinki was EUR 100.0 million and the value of Nevsky Centre in St Petersburg was EUR 181.0 million. The weighted average market yield requirement used in the fair value calculation was 5.6% (5.7).

Since Stockmann is no longer practising retail business in the Book House property, it was reclassified as an investment property in the company's balance sheet on 31 December 2017 and as an asset held for sale on 31 March 2018. Investigations related to possible divestments of the Nevsky Centre and the Book House have actively continued.

During the year, the depreciation of department store properties is deducted from the fair value whereas investment properties are not being depreciated. At the end of the first quarter, the revalued amount of all Stockmann-owned properties was EUR 967.9 million.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Commitment to responsible operations forms a core part of Stockmann's values and daily operations. The Corporate Social Responsibility strategy defines Stockmann's priorities and goals of the responsibility work. These goals have been set to support the Group

strategy and business operations by enhancing customer focus and improving efficiency. Information about CSR targets and results for 2017 were published in the CSR Review which was made available on the Group's website 28 February 2018.

RISK FACTORS

Stockmann is exposed to risks that arise from the operating environment, risks related to the company's own operations and financial risks.

The general economic situation affects consumers' purchasing behaviour and purchasing power in all of the Group's market areas. Consumers' purchasing behaviour is also influenced by digitalisation, increasing competition and changing purchasing trends. Rapid and unexpected movements in markets may influence the behaviour of both the financial markets and consumers. Uncertainties related to changes in purchasing behaviour are considered to be the principal risk arising from the operating environment that could affect Stockmann during 2018.

The operating environment may also affect the operations of Stockmann's tenants and consequently may have a negative impact on rental income and the occupancy rate of Stockmann's properties. These, particularly if related to the biggest tenants of the properties, may have an effect on the fair value of the real estate.

Fashion accounts for over two thirds of the Group's revenue. An inherent feature of the fashion trade is the short lifecycle of products and their dependence on trends, the seasonality of sales and the susceptibility to abnormal changes in weather conditions. These factors may have an impact on the Group's revenue and gross margin. In the retail sector, the products' value chain from raw material to customers often contains many stages and involves reputation risks related to the fulfilment of human rights, good working conditions, environmental and other requirements set in Stockmann's Code of Conduct and other policies. Responsible management of the supply chain and sustainable use of natural resources are important for the Group's brands in order to retain customer confidence in Stockmann.

The Group's operations are based on flexible logistics and efficient flows of goods and information. Delays and disturbances in logistic and information systems as well as uncertainties related to the logistics partners can have an adverse effect on operations. Every effort is made to manage these operational risks by developing appropriate back-up systems and alternative ways of operating, and by seeking to minimise disturbances to information systems. Operational risks are also met by taking out insurance cover.

The Group's revenue, earnings and balance sheet are affected by changes in exchange rates between the Group's reporting currency, which is the euro, and the Swedish krona, the Norwegian krone, the US dollar, the Russian rouble and certain other currencies. Currency fluctuations may have an effect on the Group's business operations. Financial risks, mainly risks arising from interest rate fluctuations due to the Group's high level of debt and hence high interest costs, and risks related to refinancing, breaching financial covenants under finance agreements and liquidity may have an effect on the financial position. Interest rate fluctuations may also impact the goodwill and the valuation related to the properties owned by the Group, and thus to the fair value of these assets. Financial risks are managed in accordance with the risk policy confirmed by the Board of Directors.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

Stockmann Retail's Crazy Days campaign took place in April, after the end of the first quarter. Campaign sales were up by 4%. Sales were up by 4% in Finland, and by 5% in the Baltic countries. The strongest sales growth was achieved in the online store, where sales were up by 19%.

OUTLOOK FOR 2018

In the Stockmann Group's largest operating countries, Finland and Sweden, the general economic situations have improved and according to forecasts by the national central banks, the GDP growth is expected to continue in 2018. Consumer confidence is also estimated to continue its positive development.

However, purchasing behaviour is changing due to digitalisation and increasing competition. This is reflected in the outlook for the fashion market, which according to Stockmann's management estimate is not developing as well as the economy in general.

In the Baltic countries, the outlook for the retail trade is, according to the management estimate, expected to be better than that for the Stockmann Group's other market areas.

Stockmann will continue improving the Group's long-term competitiveness and profitability. The efficiency measures launched at Lindex at the end of 2017 and at Stockmann in the beginning of 2018 have mostly been implemented and they will be fully visible in the 2019 operating costs.

Capital expenditure for 2018 is estimated to be approximately EUR 40-45 million, which is less than the estimated depreciation for the year.

GUIDANCE FOR 2018

Stockmann expects the Group's revenue for 2018 to be on a par with the previous year. Adjusted operating profit is expected to improve in 2018.

Helsinki, Finland, 26 April 2018

STOCKMANN plc Board of Directors

CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

This Interim report has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34. The food operations in Finland, which were divested on 31 December 2017, have been classified as discontinued operations. The Book House property was reclassified as an asset held for sale as of 31 March 2018. The figures are unaudited.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

As from 1 January 2018, the Group has applied IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 standards.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which replaces the IAS 18 and IAS 11 standards and related interpretations. IFRS 15 provides a five-step model outlining the amount and the timing of revenue recognition. According to the new standard, revenue is recognised as control is passed, either over time or at a point in time.

Most of the Group's revenue comes from the in-store sale of goods and services that is paid for with cash or credit card, distance sales or sales to franchising partners. The revenue is recognised as the control of the goods and services is transferred to the buyer. Revenue from the in-store sale is recognised at the time of sale and distance sales and sales to the franchising partners are recognised as revenue when goods are delivered to the customer or to the franchising partner. In connection with the Group's customer loyalty programmes or sales campaigns, customers may receive benefits which create a separate performance obligation or provide a material right to customer, which can have an impact on the timing of revenue recognition, but its effects is not be significant. The Stockmann Group's treatment of customer loyalty programmes is in line with IFRS 15, e.g. a portion of the consideration is allocated based on the estimated relative stand-alone prices to award credits that are redeemable against any future purchases and recognised as revenue when award credits are redeemed or expire. On the date of initial application, 1 January 2018, there were no ongoing sales campaigns. Also the accounting for customers' right of return is line with IFRS 15, e.g. a return asset and a refund liability are recognised based on historical experience in distance retailing with the corresponding adjustments to revenue and purchases. Thus no adjustment was recognised to retained earnings as per 1 January 2018 and prior year comparative figures are not restated.

IFRS 9 Financial instruments and amendments replace the IAS 39 standard. The new standard includes revised guidelines for the recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. Guidelines also contain a new accounting model for expected credit losses that is applied in determining the impairment recognised for financial assets. Under IFRS 9 the Stockmann Group measures loss allowance for impairment for trade and lease receivables at an amount equaling lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of future credit losses is estimated on the basis of experience and recognised in profit or loss as a percentage of all outstanding trade and lease receivables. The new standard changes the timing of the recognition of credit losses, but its effect is not significant.

The requirements related to hedge accounting have also been revised. In the Stockmann Group hedge accounting is applied to certain foreign currency-denominated loans that hedge foreign currency denominated net investments in foreign operations as well as for cash flow hedges of foreign currency risk in forecasted purchases and sales in foreign currency. The hedging relationship must be effective, and the effectiveness testing is carried out at each financial statements date. The new standard has no effect on the consolidated figures.

The standard contains also new requirements for classification of financial assets and liabilities. The Group has classified its financial instruments according to the new requirements and the disclosures related to financial assets and liabilities are modified respectively.

The Group uses the following hierarchy of valuation techniques to determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments:

Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2: The valuation techniques use as input data quoted market prices which are regularly available from stock exchanges, brokers or pricing services. Level 2 financial instruments are over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts which are classified either for recognition at fair value on the income statement or as hedging instruments.

Level 3: Techniques, which require most management's judgment.

There were no transfers between levels during the financial year.

Financial assets on level 3 are investments in shares of unlisted companies. The fair value of the shares is determined by techniques based on the management's judgment. Profits or losses from the investments are recorded to other operating income or expenses in the income statement, because acquisition and divestment decisions on the investments are made for business reasons. The following calculation illustrates changes in financial assets valuated at fair value during the reporting period.
