STOCKMANN plc, Interim report 27.10.2017 at 8:00 EET
Adjusted earnings per share were EUR -0.55 (-0.45).
The food operations in Finland have been classified as an asset held for sale and reported as discontinued operations. The comments in the interim report refer only to continuing operations.
Stockmann expects the Group's revenue for 2017 to decline due to weaker sales development of Lindex, and changes in the store network and product mix. Adjusted operating profit in continuing operations is expected to be approximately on a par with or slightly weaker than in 2016.

* Adjustments include a write-off of EUR 150 million related to impairment in Lindex's goodwill. For full-year 2016, adjustments affecting operating result were EUR 2.6 million and were mostly related to ICT outsourcing.
** Includes a write-off of EUR 3.8 million related to Stockmann's investment in Tuko Logistics Cooperative in the second quarter of 2017, and a write-off of EUR 2 million related to Seppälä in the third quarter of 2017.
*** Discontinued operations include department store operations in Russia which were sold in the first quarter of 2016, and Stockmann Delicatessen food operations in Finland which are expected to be divested at the end of 2017.
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). Stockmann also uses the term "revenue in comparable businesses" which refers to revenue excluding Hobby Hall, which was divested on 31 December 2016, the Oulu department store, which was closed on 31 January 2017, and the Lindex stores in Russia, which were closed in 2016.
Our determined journey continued during the third quarter. The performances in Stockmann Retail and Real Estate improved but due to weakened development of Lindex, the Group's operating result was down.
Stockmann Retail continued its result improvement in the third quarter. Comparable revenue was up 4.6% on the previous year both in Finland and in the Baltics, with growth particularly in fashion. Costs were continuously down, and the operating result improved by EUR 5.3 million. A strong fashion campaign was conducted and a new inspirational lifestyle magazine was introduced in September. Also new brands and seasonal pop-ups are being added to the selection.
Real Estate shows a stable earnings trend. The division improved its operating result by EUR 1.2 million in the third quarter. Improvements came particularly from the Nevsky Centre due to the improved economic situation in Russia.
Lindex had a tough July and August, but revenue improved towards the end of the quarter. Changes are being made to collections and campaigns, in order to boost sales for the important last quarter of the year. The top line is the key, but also efficiency and cost savings are being thoroughly looked at. A profitability improvement programme will be launched at Lindex, targeting to reduce fixed costs by over EUR 10 million annually. In addition, several actions will take place to improve gross profit.
The Crazy Days campaign in October was successful and generated growth for the first time in two years. The campaign reached a total sales growth of 2%. The online store was particularly successful and it already was our second largest unit by sales during the campaign. This gives us a good start for the most important season of the year. We will continue our efforts and determined work during the last quarter to ensure a good full-year performance.
The Stockmann Group is focusing on developing retail operations and real estate business in its department store properties in Finland and the Baltic countries, as well as the development and expansion of the Lindex fashion chain. An investigation into the possible divestment of the Nevsky Centre property is on-going, and the company is currently in negotiations with potential buyers. In line with its strategy, Stockmann has withdrawn from unprofitable business operations and merchandise areas. After the planned divestment of the Delicatessen food business in Finland, Stockmann Retail mainly focuses on fashion, beauty and home products in its own selection. The Delicatessen operations in the Baltic countries will remain with Stockmann.
Stockmann Retail's Crazy Days campaign took place in October, after the end of the third quarter. Comparable campaign sales were up by 2%. The sales were up by 1% in Finland, and by 6% in the Baltic countries. The strongest sales were achieved in the home product area in Finland and in the food product area in the Baltic countries. Growth in the online store increased the most, making it Stockmann's second largest department store by sales during the campaign.
The general economic situation has begun to recover in Finland. Consumer confidence continued to improve during the third quarter. However, in Stockmann's largest product area, fashion, the market in Finland continued to perform at a 2.5% lower level, in January-September (source: Textile and Fashion Suppliers and Retailers in Finland, TMA).
In Sweden, although the general economic situation has improved, the fashion market was down by 1.8% in January-September, compared with an increase of 0.5% in the previous year (source: Swedish Trade Federation, Stilindex).
The retail market in the Baltic countries continued its good performance.
The Stockmann Group's third-quarter revenue was EUR 242.0 million (7-9/2016: 263.9). The comparison figure for 2016 includes revenue from the closed and divested units (Hobby Hall and the Oulu department store). Revenue in comparable businesses was on a par with the previous year.

Taxes for the period totalled EUR -3.9 million (-10.4). The Board of Adjustment reached its decision on Stockmann's claim for rectification relating to the Finnish Tax Administration's decision on additional taxes for the years 2009–2011. According to the earlier decision, Stockmann would have been required to pay EUR 10.3 million in additional taxes and related interest. The Board of Adjustment annulled EUR 7.7 million of the additional tax imposed on Stockmann. Consequently, the additional tax is EUR 2.6 million. The decisions are related to a tax audit which examined transfer pricing and the market basis of interest rates in the Stockmann Group's internal financing between Finland and Russia during 2009-2011. The additional taxes of EUR 10.3 million were booked in the financial statements for 2015. In line with the Board of Adjustment's decision, Stockmann returned EUR 7.7 million to its third quarter income statement in 2017.
The adjusted result for the period was EUR -36.0 million and the result for the period was EUR -186.0 million (-28.4).

Stockmann also has a EUR 84.3 million hybrid bond which is treated as equity.

The Group's average number of personnel in continuing operations was 7 371 (8 332) in the reporting period. The decline was due to personnel reductions mostly in Stockmann Retail's shared support functions, and the divestment of Hobby Hall.

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 purchasing power and behaviour are considered to be the principal risks that could affect Stockmann during 2017.
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.
Financial risks, mainly risks arising from interest rate fluctuations due to the Group's high level of debt, may have an effect on the financial costs and the financial position. Interest rate fluctuations may also impact the yield related to the properties owned by the Group, and thus the fair value of these assets. Financial risks are managed in accordance with the financial risk policy confirmed by the Board of Directors.
Other risk factors affecting the Stockmann Group's operations are presented in the Report by the Board of Directors for 2016.
In the Stockmann Group's largest operating country, Finland, the economy has begun to recover. GDP and the retail market are expected to grow in 2017. However, consumers' purchasing power is not expected to increase and purchasing behaviour is changing due to digitalisation and increasing competition.
The Swedish economy remained stable in 2016 and the GDP growth estimate for 2017 remains on a higher level than in Finland. The steady growth in the fashion market stagnated in 2016, and the market is expected to decline in 2017.
In the Baltic countries, GDP growth is estimated to continue. The outlook for these countries is expected to be better than that for the Stockmann Group's other market areas.
The Russian economy is expected to recover gradually, but the purchasing power of Russian consumers remains low.
Stockmann will continue improving the Group's long-term competitiveness and profitability. The efficiency measures launched in summer 2016 will be fully visible in the 2017 operating costs. Improvements in the operating result in 2017 are estimated to come mainly from the Stockmann Retail division, which is still loss-making, while Real Estate is expected to continue its stable profitable performance. Lindex's operating profit for 2017 will be clearly down on the previous year's record-high earnings. The planned sale of the Delicatessen business in Finland is expected to improve the Group's profitability from 2018 onwards.
Capital expenditure for 2017 is estimated to be approximately EUR 40 million, which is less than the estimated depreciation for the year.
The Stockmann Group's profit guidance for the year was revised on 26 September 2017, due to weaker than estimated performance in Lindex's business.
Stockmann expects the Group's revenue for 2017 to decline due to weaker sales development of Lindex, and changes in the store network and product mix. Adjusted operating profit in continuing operations is expected to be approximately on a par with or slightly weaker than in 2016.
Helsinki, Finland, 26 October 2017
STOCKMANN plc Board of Directors
This Interim report has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34. The accounting policies and calculation methods applied are the same as those in the 2016 financial statements. Stockmann Delicatessen food operations in Finland have been classified as assets held for sale and reported as discontinued operations.

Of the total goodwill of EUR 728.3 million, EUR 703.3 million was allocated to Lindex cash generating unit (CGU) and EUR 25 million to Stockmann Retail CGU. Because there were indications that the value of Lindex's asset items in the statement of financial position was greater than Lindex's recoverable amount of the assets, the recoverable amount of the assets in Lindex was determined using the same principles as in the financial statements. In the impairment testing, the cash flow forecasts for Lindex are based on market-area forecasts approved by Stockmann Group's management. The cash flow forecast covers a five-year period management-approved forecast and beyond this period the cash flows are extrapolated using a steady 1.7 per cent growth rate. The discount rate used is 7.5 per cent (8.1% in 2016). As a result of the impairment test, an impairment loss of EUR 150 million was recognised in the income statement. Following the impairment loss recognised in Lindex CGU, the recoverable amount of goodwill is equal to the carrying amount of EUR 553,3 million. Any adverse change in a key assumption may result in further impairment.

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.
