We are proud to present another strong quarter with double digit growth. Our valuefor-money concepts remain resilient under the current demanding market conditions, and we see a strong momentum for our like-for-like stores. Growth in the quarter was further accelerated by our omnichannel and category development initiatives. In Q4, we reached alltime high quarterly revenues of MNOK 1,253 with online sales exceeding MNOK 150, representing an online share of 12.8%.
The Extended concept was launched in Norway in Q4-22 and comprise a new assortment including, among other things, sofas, carpets and beds. Revenues from the Extended assortment amounted to MNOK 14.6 in the quarter, of which MNOK 8.4 from online stores. As previously communicated, we will launch the Extended assortment online and in selected larger stores (+600 sqm.) in Hemtex during Q1-24. In addition, we will
increase the number of Extended stores (+1,200 sqm.) from 5 to 10 stores in Norway, and open 3 Extended stores in Sweden.
Our gross margin has improved as freight rates are back on historical levels and price adjustments implemented during Q1-23. We are closely monitoring the freight situation in the Red Sea / Gulf of Aden and are prepared to take necessary actions if considered necessary, as the current uncertain situation could potentially impact future freight rates and delivery time.
In the fourth quarter, we successfully completed a significant transition from SAP, signifying a year filled with noteworthy events that included the implementation of a new Point of Sale (POS) system and a common Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system across the Group. This ensures a modern and effective IT infrastructure. Going forward, we
will continue to invest in, and develop, our systems.
The performance of the new warehouse in Sweden this quarter confirms a successful implementation and operation. Valuable experiences gained since its opening will be taken into account with regard to the planned expansion of the warehouse, in order to establish a joint warehouse for the Group in 2025 with necessary capacity for continued growth. In accordance with our progress plan, we have now taken over the plot and signed the contract agreement. We estimate that operations in the expanded warehouse and relocation from current warehouse in Norway will commence during 2025. The warehouse in Sweden is owned by a Joint Venture which is controlled by Kid (through Kid Eiendom AS) and Fabritius Gruppen AS on a 50/50 basis.

¹Calculated in constant currency

A robust fourth quarter in terms of basket size resulted in the second consecutive quarter of double -digit growth. Gross margin improved due to freight rates on historical level and price adjustments, in addition to limited need of seasonal sale in the period. Operating expenses (OPEX) increased due to general salary and price increases, as well as bonus expenses. In total, we achieved a record high EBITDA for the Group in the fourth quarter.
Total Group revenue s increased by 13.0% (+0.7%), with consistent growth in every month of the quarter. In constant currency, revenues increased by 10.2% (+2.1%). Net new stores contributed positively.
The like -for -like revenue increase was 9.3% (+1.8%) in the quarter. Both Kid Interior and Hemtex experienced positive revenue development in both online and in physical stores.
Online revenues increased by 26.6% (+18.2%) in the quarter and represented 12.8% (11.0%) of total revenues.
Categories launched since 2017 accounted for MNOK 166.5 (MNOK 136.1) in revenues, of which the Extended assortment accounted for MNOK 14.6 (MNOK 0), of which MNOK 8.4 online and MNOK 6.2 in physical stores.
Both Kid Interior and Hemtex experienced increased gross margins compared to Q4 -22. The strengthened campaign activities in Hemtex, including Black Week and Cyber Week, affected margin negatively.
As previously communicated, the gross margin in Q4 -22 was unusually low as the high freight rates in 2022 were not sufficiently incorporated in our price calculation models.

Employee expenses increased by MNOK 43.6 to MNOK 220.0:
Other operating expenses decreased by MNOK -2.7 to MNOK 155.8:
logistics personnel, and reduced logistics operating material compared to previous year
EBITDA increased compared to Q4-22 mainly due to increased revenues and improved gross margin and tight cost control.
Depreciation increased compared to last year and is mainly due investments in the new warehouse in Sweden and IFRS 16 effect related to the rental portfolio.
Net financial expenses of MNOK 18.0 (MNOK 12.8) relates to net interest expenses of MNOK 4.1 (MNOK 6.8), net other financial expenses of MNOK 0.5 (MNOK 0.0), net FX expenses of MNOK 1.7 (MNOK -1.5) and IFRS 16 interest expenses of MNOK 11.7 (MNOK 7.5).
Liquidity and borrowings During the quarter, dividends of MNOK 111.8 were paid. Furthermore, the draw on revolving credit facility was fully repaid of MNOK 160.0.
Excluding IFRS 16 effects, net interestbearing debt was MNOK 296.6 (MNOK 475.9) at the end of the quarter, corresponding to a gearing ratio of 0.54x (1.12x) of LTM EBITDA. The Group had cash and available credit facilities of MNOK 827.1 (MNOK 552.7) as of 31 December 2023, and has a satisfactorily liquidity situation.
Cash flow from operations is record high due to historically low net working capital (NWC) and strong profit in the period. NWC can partially be attributed to significant public payable due in February 2024, in addition to timing of payments.
Capital expenditures (CAPEX) amounted to MNOK 30.7 (MNOK 67.7) during Q4, mainly relating to store openings and refurbishments. Investments in the new warehouse in Sweden accounted for MNOK 0 (MNOK 16.6) in the quarter.
