Solid financial position and liquidity

  • Cash flow from operations decreased by MNOK 59.7 compared to Q4 2020
  • Negative cash effect from increased inventory because of earlier deliveries, increased number of stores and product categories expansion. MNOK 40 of the inventory increase is due to changes in payment method with neutral effect on working net capital
  • Positive effect from increased trade creditors due to increased purchase/inventory, and other provisions due to increased goods in transit, increased bonus provision and public duties payable
  • Cash flow from investments reflects CAPEX in stores and new online platform
  • Cash flow from financing includes dividend payment of MNOK 187 in November and an MNOK 30 instalment on term loan
  • Gearing ratio, excl. IFRS16 effects, of 0.53x (0.40x)
  • Net interest-bearing debt excl. IFRS16 leasing liabilities of MNOK 309.1 (MNOK 220.5)
  • Cash and available credit facilities of MNOK 651.3 (MNOK 678.3) by the end of the quarter

Dividend

Payout ratio 91%

  • The Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting a dividend of NOK 4.00 share to be paid 27 May 2022
  • Including dividend pre-payment of NOK 4.60 in November 2021, the ordinary dividends for 2021 is NOK 8.60, i.e. a payout ratio of 91%
  • The proposed payout details are:

Outlook

  • Strong pipeline for optimizing the store portfolio
  • New warehouse facility in Borås (Sweden) for Hemtex expected to be in operation during spring 2023
  • The global freight situation which is causing delays and increased spot rates remains a challenge. However…
  • Spring and summer collections expected to arrive on-time
  • Signs indicating markets are normalizing, but too early to conclude
  • We remain confident with regards to our Financial Objectives
  • We are looking forward to presenting our 2022 Summer and Outdoor collection, and to a continued expansion of the product range in Hemtex
