| REMUNERATION REPORT 2023

The executive remuneration report for Komplett Group for 2023 is prepared in accordance with section 6-16 b of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act. The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of earned and paid remuneration to the board of directors and the executive management team in Komplett Group. It follows from the report that the remuneration in 2023 has been paid out and earned in accordance with the guidelines approved by the annual general meeting in 2023.

Remuneration to senior executives is paid or accrued in the currency of the respective subsidiary that owns the employment relationship. In this report, amounts are presented in Norwegian kroner (NOK), which is both the functional and presentation currency of the parent company. Remuneration in other currencies received during the financial year has been translated into NOK using the average exchange rate for the year. Accrued remuneration at the end of the reporting period has been translated using the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Members of the board receive their fees from the parent company Komplett ASA in NOK.

INTRODUCTION

In 2023, Komplett Group remained dedicated to developing the business, building strong teams and lifting profitability. Despite a challenging market situation throughout the year, the group's strategic focus on improving gross margins and managing costs led to a 60.2 per cent EBIT adj. increase to NOK 139 million.

The group enhanced its market position and improved service levels while maintaining an industryleading cost position. Strategic initiatives, supported by new management appointments, drove operational and financial improvements.

Komplett Group is well positioned to handle a continued difficult market expected into 2024. Amid uncertain market conditions, efforts persist to ensure both growth and improved profitability, while developing its strong brands and leveraging its advantages in 2024. For further information, reference is made to the annual report for 2023.

KEY FINANCIALS FOR 2023

In 2023, the total operating revenues increased to NOK 15 861 million, corresponding to an 8.5 per cent growth compared to NOK 14 618 million in 2022. On a full-year basis, sales were partly impacted by NetOnNet, which was consolidated into the group accounts as from the second quarter of 2022. If revenue from NetOnNet is included for the full-year period of 2022, on a pro forma basis, likefor-like revenues declined by 1.4 per cent (not adjusted for currency) and by 4.0 per cent on a constant currency basis.

The company's gross margin in 2023 improved to 13.9 per cent, compared to 12.3 per cent in 2022, reflecting improved sourcing terms, a more stable pricing environment as well as improved pricing strategies and initiatives. In addition, the industry as well as the group benefited from healthier inventory positions and hence less price pressure compared with the prior-year period.

EBIT adjusted amounted to NOK 139 million, compared with NOK 87 million in 2022. The improvement was driven by a gross margin uplift of 1.6 percentage points. The operating result (EBIT) amounted to negative NOK 885 million, compared with NOK 6 million in 2022. Adjusted for non-cash impairment charges of NOK 983 million, the EBIT result in 2023 would have been NOK 98 million. Loss for the year 2023 was negative NOK 1 038 million, compared with a loss of NOK 32 million in the same period last year.

COMPANY RESULTS AND REMUNERATION IN 2023

In 2023, the base salaries for the CEO and the members of the executive management team amounted to NOK 29.6 million which is the same as in 2022. Total remuneration for other employees increased from NOK 819.7 million in 2022 to NOK 936.9 million in 2023. The increase was mainly driven by the full-year impact from NetOnNet, which was consolidated into the group accounts as from the second quarter of 2022, along with currency translation effects and general inflation. Komplett Group's short-term incentive plan (STI) is designed to support the company's strategic goals in the short term. The earnings criteria for the STI for the executive management team were partially met in 2023. The long-term incentive plan (LTI) is a stock option plan that has a three-year vesting period. A total of 3 338 701 share options were granted to the executive management team in 2023 of which 2 085 293 relate to the 2023- share option programmes and 1 253 408 related to the 2022- share option programme.

Individual terms

The executive management team participates in two variable pay programmes: an annual performance bonus programme (STI) and a share-based remuneration (LTI).

Short-term incentive

Senior executives may be offered a performance-based bonus in addition to fixed remuneration. Performancebased bonus shall be agreed upon on an individual basis, if applicable. For senior executives receiving bonus, such is, as at the date of these guidelines, measured based on the following pre-determined performance measures:

  • X Budgeted EBIT and
  • X Budgeted sale

In addition to the above, financial qualitative measures, a discretionary evaluation of each executive's individual performance will form the basis for the annual performance bonus. Targets for each executive's business area, as well as the executive's own development, will be considered.

For 2023, the following weighting have been used:

Group CEO and Group CFO

Group CEO & Directors with P&L
KPI Group CFO responsibility* Administration
Group level
Budgeted EBIT 50% 25% 30%
Budgeted sale 30% 15% 20%
Entity Level*
Budget EBIT - 25% -
Budget sale - 15% -
Discretion 20% 20% 50%

None of the senior executives met the financial KPI's for the STI-plan for 2022, and therefore no annual bonus was accrued and paid to any of executives relating to performance in 2022.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN Share-based remuneration

A long-term incentive programme has been established for the Executive Management team.

Under the programme, share options are generally granted annually at the discretion of the board. The Black-Scholes model is used to calculate the value of the grant. The options will vest gradually over three years after grant, of which 20 per cent of the options will vest after one year, 20 per cent will vest after two years, and the remaining 60 per cent will vest after three years. Options will expire five years after the date of grant. The maximum benefit from the 2023-option programme is four times the base salary at the year of grant.

In 2023, a total of 3 338 701 share options were awarded to the executive management team, of which 2 085 293 were related to the 2023- share option programme and 1 253 408 were related to the 2022- share option programme. None of the executives have exercised any stock options in 2023.
