Interim report Q1 2022

Dear Shareholders

Q1 was yet another strong quarter for the Kid Group. Continued revenue growth and maintained strong gross margin. Costs increased mainly due to one-off Covid-19 cost reduction effects last year. These are the key takeaways from the first quarter:

  • New products and categories remain a significant growth driver. Categories launched since 2017 have added 257 million in revenues in 2021 and 58 million in Q1 2022, compared to 44 million in Q1 2021. These categories include kitchen accessories, lamps and lightning, larger carpets and outdoor furniture. Based on this we are further expanding these categories and launching new ones. Some of the new categories are currently available only online and in selected stores, but we intend to widen the distribution and increase the areas of our smaller stores to make room for our full assortment.
  • To mitigate the risk of delays we decided to place orders earlier than normal this year. Our spring collection was somewhat delayed, as expected, but our summer collection has so far been delivered to our warehouses on time, which has contributed to increased inventory compared to last year.
  • We have reviewed the potential for new stores in our current markets. Based on this analysis, we have increased the total number of potential stores from approx. 300 to approx. 320. Furthermore, refurbishing and expanding our current stores continue to drive growth, and we have therefore decided to increase our maintenance CapEx from the current level of MNOK 80-90 to up till MNOK 100 on an annual basis. As per today, we have signed up for 17 stores to be refurbished, relocated and/or expanded in 2022.
  • The new warehouse in Sweden is proceeding according to plan, and we are still aiming for opening in Q2 2023. We have now signed an agreement to install Autostore inventory automation system as in our warehouse in Norway. The total investments related to the new warehouse, including offices and inventory fittings and systems, is estimated at NOK 100 million which will be financed through increased long-term debt.
  • As the storage capacity in Norway is about to reach its limits during peak seasons, we will from Q3 2023 also use the new warehouse in Sweden to handle part of the Kid Interior inventory which will also increase flexibility in our inventory across markets.
  • 52% (40%) of our assortment in 2021 was labelled "act with the heart" which contributes to a positive impact on both people and planet. Our sustainable goals going forward include increased share of such products, and during 2022 we will set Science Based Targets to reduce our climate emissions according to the Paris Agreement. Furter details are available in our Sustainability Report for 2021.

We have delivered a good start to the spring and summer season, and we are looking forward to continuing presenting new collections and categories and remain confident that these will keep on inspiring current and new customers.

Yours sincerely,

Financial review for the Kid Group

Q1 2022 was the 8th consecutive quarter with yearon-year EPS growth. Last year's COVID-19 restrictions with temporary store closures, as well as the timing of Easter (which occurred a few weeks later in 2022) make comparison between Q1 2022 and Q1 2021 challenging.

The reduction in EBITDA of MNOK 2.3 was mainly caused by lower cost base last year following bonus reversals and one-off effects related to COVID-19 cost reductions. The Covid-19 cost reduction effect in the quarter is estimated at MNOK 1.3 (MNOK 7.2).

Revenues

Group revenues increased by +9.3% (10.4%) to MNOK 604.6 (MNOK 569.8) based on a constant currency calculation, and by +6.2% when applying actual currency. Group revenues on a like-for-like basis were up by +7.3% (9.3%).

Both Kid Interior and Hemtex experienced significant increase in footfall to physical stores while Online -traffic was reduced.

Q1 2021 vs Q1 2022 revenue bridge, MNOK

Gross profitincreased by MNOK 22.3 to MNOK 370.1 with Gross margin at 61.2%, up 0.2 percentage points compared to Q1 2021.

Freight costs remained high in Q1 2022 and is expected to remain at these higher levels going forward. The raw materials cost has also increased while FX-rates have improved (stronger NOK/USD compared to last year).

We have planned for increased sourcing costs, and we therefore remain confident of our Financial Objectives, despite increased raw material costs.

Employee benefits expenses increased by +9.4% to MNOK 153.1:

  • +2.4 percentage points due to net new stores
  • +1.9 percentage points in LFL stores mainly due to reduced opening hours and closed stores last year as well as general salary increase partly offset by Covid-19 governmental support of MNOK 1.0 this year.
  • +1.8 percentage points mainly related to lower reversal of bonus accrual for 2021 compared to the amount reversed last year
  • +3.3 percentage points in headquarter costs mainly due to increased number of personnel at HQ, increased logistics activity and general salary increase as well as less Covid-19 cost reduction effect this quarter of MNOK 1.1

FX-effects represented a decrease in employee benefit expenses of approximately MNOK 3.9 following a weaker SEK/NOK in Q1 2022 compared to Q1 2022.

Other operating expenses including IFRS 16 increased by 11.3% to MNOK 107.3:

• +1.0 percentage points related to other operating costs in net new stores

  • +5.8 percentage points mainly related to less Covid-19 rental rebates of MNOK 2.8 and higher shared operating- and marketing costs in store rentals
  • +2.8 percentage points from increased marketing costs according to plan
  • +1.7 percentage points mainly related to increase in third party logistics costs, electricity costs, IT-costs as well as lower Covid-19 effects of MNOK 0.8

FX-effects accounted for a decrease in Other operating expenses of approximately MNOK 5.2 following a weaker SEK/NOK in Q1 2022 compared to Q1 2021.

OPEX (excluding IFRS 16) to sales margin was 55.3% (54.0%). When adding back Covid-19 related costs reduction effects OPEX to sales margin was 55.5% (55.6%).

EBITDA decreased by MNOK 2.3 to MNOK 110.4 due to higher operating expense as described above.

Net financial expense of MNOK 11.6 (MNOK 24.3) relates to net interest expenses of MNOK 3.4 (MNOK 3.5), net other financial expenses of MNOK 1.6 (MNOK 0.3), net foreign exchange gain of MNOK 0,2 (MNOK -13.4) and IFRS 16 interest expense of MNOK 6.8 (MNOK 7.1).

Liquidity and borrowings. Inventory is at a higher level compared to last year due to earlier placement of orders and earlier deliveries of goods as well as new assortment and new stores.

Excluding IFRS16 effects, net interest-bearing debt was MNOK 620,0 (MNOK 422.2) at the end of the quarter, corresponding to 1.06x (0.75x) of the LTM EBITDA excluding IFRS16.

The Group had cash and available credit facilities of MNOK 338.7 (MNOK 468.4) as of 31 March 2022. The Group has a satisfactorily liquidity situation.

Capital Expenditures during Q1 amounted to MNOK 14.4 (MNOK 18.2) of which investment in the new ecommerce platform accounted for MNOK 1.6 (MNOK 2.8) and the remaining MNOK 12.8 (MNOK 15.4) mainly reflect store openings and refurbishments.

Segment: Kid Interior

Revenues in Kid Interior increased by +12.5% to MNOK 366.8. Like-for-like revenues including online increased by +10.7%.

The increase in Q1 this year compared to Q1 last year was mainly due to an increase in footfall to physical stores. Average revenue per customer remained stable for the quarter.

In Q1 last year, 39 stores were temporarily closed on average from 22 January to 31 March due to governmental COVID-19 restrictions. Consequently, traffic to stores were negatively influenced whereas Online traffic was positively influenced during Q1 last year. All stores were fully opened from 6 May 2021.

Online revenues decreased by -0.3% to MNOK 31.7.

Gross profit increased by MNOK 24.0 compared to last year due to increased footfall and revenues. The gross margin decreased by 0.3 percentage points on the back of increased freight costs, as well as increased costs of raw materials which were partly offset by improved FX-rate and successful campaigning.

Employee expenses increased by 16.6% to MNOK 94.2:

  • +2.7 percentage points due to net new stores
  • +6.3 percentage points in LFL stores because of closed stores last year due to Covid restrictions, short-term COVID-19 related sick leave as well as general salary increase
  • +4.0 percentage points mainly due to lower reversal of bonus accrual for 2021 compared to the amount reversed last year for 2020. At year end 2021 the total bonus provision was MNOK 19.7. Based on final calculations MNOK 1.6 (MNOK 5.4) was reversed in Q1 2022.
  • +3.7 percentage points in headquarter costs due to increased activity in the logistics department, lower Covid-19 cost reduction effects this year as well as general salary increases and higher regulatory pension expenses.

Year to date bonus provision amounted to MNOK 0.6 (MNOK 1.2) of which store bonuses was MNOK 0.6 (MNOK 0.3), other management bonuses was MNOK 0 (MNOK 0.9).

Other operating expenses increased by 12.2% to MNOK 55.0 including IFRS 16:

  • 3.3 percentage points mainly related to increased shared operating- and marketing costs related to rental for both LFL and new stores, partly offset by a reduction in revenue based rental costs
  • +1.6 percentage points related to a planned increase in marketing costs
  • +7.3 percentage points in other OPEX as a result of increased electricity costs as well as use of temporary consultants and IT licenses related to the new e-commerce platform

Covid-19 cost effect during Q1 has been estimated at MNOK o (MNOK 4.7), of which reduced employee expenses (social- and travelling costs) last year accounted for MNOK 3.2.

EBITDA increased by MNOK 6.0 to MNOK 75.9 (MNOK 69.9).

Q1 2021 vs. Q1 2022 EBITDA bridge, MNOK

Capital Expenditure during Q1 amounted to MNOK 7.7 (MNOK 12.4) mainly reflecting refurbishments of stores and investments in the new ecommerce platform.

Five stores were refurbished during the first quarter. There were no closed, opened or relocated stores. The total number of physical stores at the end of the quarter was 153 (148).

Segment: Hemtex

Revenues decreased by MNOK -5.9 to MNOK 237.8. In local currency revenues increased by +4.8% to MSEK 251.1. Like-for-like revenues including online sales were up by 2.0%.

The revenue growth was mainly caused by an increase in footfall to physical stores. Even though all stores were open all through the quarter last year (except for the five stores in Estonia), governmental restrictions caused a material drop in footfall to physical stores, while online revenues were unusual high.

Online revenues decreased by -16.4% (+84.3%) to MNOK 36.7.

Gross profit decreased by MNOK -3.5 due to decreased revenues. The gross margin was unchanged compared to last year due to favourable product mix and improved FX-rates, partly offset by increased freight costs and costs of raw material.

Employee expenses decreased by -0.3% to MNOK 59.0:

  • +2.2 percentage points due to net new and closed stores
  • +1.0 percentage points in LFL stores, mainly due to reduced opening hours last year and general salary increases offset by Covid-19 governmental support
  • +3.1 percentage points due to more group services provided by HQ in Norway, partly offset by fewer HQ employees in Borås
  • -6.6 percentage points due to changes in NOKSEK exchange rate

Year to date bonus provision amounted to MNOK 0.0 (MNOK 0.5).

Other operating expenses increased by 10.3% to MNOK 52.3 including IFRS 16:

  • +10.2 percentage points related to less Covid 19 rental rebates this year
  • +6.4 percentage points related to a planned increase in marketing costs
  • +5.0 percentage points mainly related to increased third-party logistics cost driven by higher volumes and unit size as well as increased costs for packaging. In addition, there are increased use of external hours due to short-term COVID-19 related sick leave
  • -11.1 percentage points due to changes in NOKSEK exchange rate

Covid-19 cost reduction effect during Q1 has been estimated at MNOK 1.3 (MNOK 2.5).

EBITDA decreased by MNOK -8.3 to MNOK 34.5 (MNOK 42.8). When applying the NOK/SEK-rates from Q1 2021 ("constant currency"), the EBITDA in Q1 2022 would have been MNOK 36.7 representing a decrease of MNOK 6.1 from Q1 2021.

Q1 2021 vs. Q1 2022 EBITDA bridge, MNOK

Capital Expenditure during Q1 amounted to MNOK 6.7 (MNOK 5.8) mainly related to refurbishment and relocation of stores.

Two stores were closed, one store was refurbished, and three stores were relocated during the quarter. There were no new stores in the period. The total number of physical stores (excl. 11 franchise stores) at the end of the quarter was 119 (117).

Events after the end of the reporting period

Following the pandemic situation, the global overseas freight situation and the strict COVID-19 regulatory situation in China have caused delays in the value chain, as well as increased freight rates. Going forward, we have decided to place orders earlier than we normally would in order to remedy these effects.

Group revenues in constant currency were up by +14.4% in April and up by +10.6% year-to-date per April.

There have been no other significant events after the end of the reporting period.
