Kid ASA - Quarterly report | 1
GROUP REVENUES increased by 15.0% (+0.1%). GROSS MARGIN increased by 5.5 percentage points to 61.5% (56.0%). OPEX increased by 7.6% (+8.8%).
EBITDA increased by MNOK 67.9 to MNOK 124.5 (MNOK 56.6). CASH FLOW from operations impacted by inventory build-up.
We are pleased to present the third consecutive quarter with double digit growth. Our value-formoney position and concept remain resilient amid continuing challenging market conditions. Growth in the quarter was accelerated by store projects, combined with omnichannel and category development initiatives. Historically, store projects mainly focused on refurbish and relocate existing stores, whereas we today consider expansion an important growth driver. We reached all-time high Q1 revenues of MNOK 696.5 with online sales exceeding MNOK 80, representing an online share of 12.0%.
The Extended concept was launched online and in selected larger stores (+600 sqm.) in Hemtex during the quarter. We are satisfied with the results from the launch and look forward to continued rollout throughout the year. The Extended assortment comprise, among other things, sofas, carpets and beds, and is available in both segments and all our markets (i.e. Norway, Sweden, Finland and Estonia). We have raised our ambitions and plan to increase the number of Extended stores (+1,200 sqm.) from 10 to 15 stores in Norway by the end of 2025. Additionally, we remain committed to open 3 Extended stores in Sweden.
Our gross margin has improved due to price adjustments and freight rates returning to historical levels. The situation in the Red Sea / Gulf of Aden has not impacted us materially, but we will continue to monitor the situation and are prepared to take actions if necessary.
The Group has released its first integrated sustainability report, transitioning from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). This aligns our reporting with European standards and showcases our commitment to comprehensive sustainability through focused initiatives on climate action, responsible sourcing, and strategic risk management. Notably, the report includes a scenario analysis to evaluate the financial and operational impacts of climate change, enhancing our strategic planning and risk management.
The warehouse project in Sweden is on schedule. As previously communicated, we estimate that operations in the common warehouse for the Group will commence medio 2025.
We are continuously working to extend and relocate our current stores to the standard store size of ~600 sqm. Compared to 2021, Kid Interior and Hemtex have increased the average square meter per store in the portfolio by 4.3% to 478 sqm. and 9.5% to 402 sqm., respectively. The numbers for Kid Interior exclude the 5 Extended stores in Norway.
The acceptance for the Kid concept is in general very positive – and on the back of three quarter with significant growth have we raised our likefor-like growth target with one percentage point from previously 3-4% to 4-5% going forward. The targeted growth is partly fueled by investments in stores. Expected maintenance CAPEX is consequently increased from MNOK 100 to MNOK 125 on an annual basis. New standard stores (~600 sqm.) are expected to trigger an additional MNOK 3 in CAPEX and MNOK 6 for Extended stores (+1,200 sqm.). OPEX relative to sales are expected to stay at current level and the targeted dividend pay-out ratio of 80-100% of adjusted net profit remains unchanged. A complete list of our revised financial objectives was included in our 2023 annual report.

2024 is off to a good start with an EBITDA increase of MNOK 67.9 in Q1. Increased number of customers and basket size resulted in the third consecutive quarter with double -digit like -for -like growth. Gross margin improved due to price adjustments in Q1 -23 to meet higher currency hedge levels going forward, combined with an inventory comprising lower freight costs. Operating expenses (OPEX) increased mainly due to general salary and price increases.
Total Group revenues increased by 15.0% (+0.1%), with consistent growth in every month of the quarter. In constant currency, revenues increased by 13.7% (-1.3%). Net new stores contributed positively. Across several categories, we are experiencing positive growth, with bedlinen, curtains, and furniture standing out as important growth drivers.
The like -for -like revenue growth increase was 13.5% ( -0.3%) in the quarter. Both Kid Interior and Hemtex experienced positive revenue development in physical stores.
Online revenues increased by 16.2% (+1.8%) in the quarter and represented 12.0% (11.7%) of total revenues.
Categories launched since 2022 accounted for MNOK 27.0 (MNOK 9.8) in revenues .
Both Kid Interior and Hemtex experienced increased gross margins compared to Q1 -23, driven by freight rates on historical levels in combination with price adjustments implemented during Q1 -23 to meet higher currency hedging levels going forward.
As previously communicated, the gross margin in Q1 -23 was unusually low as the high freight rates in 2022 were not sufficiently incorporated in our price calculation models.
