Interim report Q4 2020

Interim Report Q4 2020 Kid ASA

Dear Shareholders

With an intensive shopping quarter behind us, we can conclude that Q4 was another successful quarter for Kid. Although stricter COVID-19 restrictions affected customer behaviour differently across markets, we were able to adapt rapid changes in demand. With a like-for-like growth of 7,4%, improved gross margin and stringent cost control, the Kid Group presents another quarter with an all-time-high EBITDA!

These are the key takeaways from the fourth quarter:

  • Group revenues in Q4 were driven by continued growth in Norway, Finland and Estonia. We also delivered solid growth in Sweden throughout most of the quarter – on top of a strong growth in Q4 last year. However, during the last few weeks before Christmas, COVID-19 restrictions reduced customer traffic in Sweden.
  • We see that product and category development is being well received by our customers and is a key driver for growth. Product categories such as lamps and lightning, furniture, kitchen accessories and scented candles that have been launched over the past three years have in Q4 contributed with MNOK 83.0 in revenues for Kid Interior. We are now stepping up efforts in this area and are adding a new team of three to fuel profitable growth further through category development and expansion into new categories.
  • Following increased sales volumes, and with all sourcing now centralised through Kid, we have managed to improve purchasing terms with our suppliers and thereby improving gross margins. Moreover, we are planning for further volume increase as we are expanding our product assortment in Hemtex in line with Kid Interior stores in Norway. By the end of 2021 we expect 100 Hemtex stores to have implemented this assortment, and remaining stores by the end of 2022.
  • Both segments have seen an impressive increase in online sales, representing 9.8% (6.9%) of total sales for the quarter, while at the same time maintaining short delivery times to online customers. In Kid Interior, the Autostore has increased logistic delivery precision and capacity significantly compared to last year. In Hemtex, major efforts by our employees, together with our new third-party supplier, have enabled a record number of deliveries in Q4.
  • During the quarter, we opened four new stores in Norway and one in Sweden, and we have refurbished and relocated seven stores. We continue to see positive profit development from both new stores and refurbishments, driven by higher growth compared to the rest of the store portfolio.
  • We remain committed to our CSR activities. Kid Interior is the main sponsor for the Pink Ribbon campaign in Norway and donated MNOK 2.8 to the campaign in 2020 – a significant increase from last year – along with a contribution of MNOK 0.2 to the NRK Telethon. Throughout 2020, Hemtex donated MSEK 0.3 to SOS Children's Villages Sweden. Moreover, MNOK 0.4 worth of Bokhari dialect shopping bag products have been sold this year in Kid Interior stores, supporting safe and meaningful jobs for Pakistani craftsmen and women.
  • Following our continued strong financial performance in 2020, the Board of Directors will propose to the General Annual Meeting a total dividend payment of NOK 4.40 per share to be paid in June 2021.

We have turned the page, leaving 2020 behind and are looking forward to the new year – with full steam ahead. We see a lot of exciting opportunities and look forward to present new and extended product collections which we are confident will add further growth and profitability, and at the same time taking pride in inspiring our customers and contributing to making life more positive and joyful!

Yours sincerely,

gAnders Fjeld Fourth quarter in brief

Financial review for the Kid Group

Gross margin:

Q4 2020 was another strong quarter for the Kid Group both in terms of revenues and profitability.

The COVID-19 cost reduction effect in the quarter, is estimated at MNOK 7.8.

Revenues

Group revenues increased by 6.6% to MNOK 1097.2 (MNOK 1029.6) based on a constant currency calculation, and by 10.9% when applying actual currency (MNOK 989.5). Group revenues on a likefor-like basis were up by 11.5 % on a constant currency basis.

Demand in Norway was strong throughout the quarter, resulting in a like-for-like growth of 13.6%. Hemtex saw a like-for-like decrease of -1.9% after a growth up until stricter Swedish governmental restrictions was put into effect mid-December. Like-for-like growth in Finland was positive with 1.0% and Estonia had a positive like-for-like growth of 18.0%. Finland and Estonia account for less than 5% of Group revenues.

Q4 2019 vs Q4 2020 revenue bridge, MNOK

Gross margin was 63.1%, up 3.0 percentage points compared to Q4 2019.

The increase in gross margin is a consequence of higher purchasing volumes enabling improved purchasing terms with suppliers, reduced freight costs, a consistent currency hedging policy as well as reduced rebating.

Employee benefits expenses increased by MNOK 1.1 to MNOK 174.7. In Kid Interior, bonus provisions increased based on strong financial performance as well as increased headcount at the head office. In Hemtex employee benefits expenses decreased due to closing of unprofitable stores and downsizing of the Swedish HQ during the integration process with Kid Interior.

Operating expenses excluding IFRS16 increased by MNOK 25.4 to MNOK 219. Kid Interior had an increase in OPEX due to revenue related cost from higher sales in online and increased marketing costs. Hemtex had a reduction in operating expenses in local currency mainly due to a one-off warehouse relocation cost in Q4 last year. OPEX increased in NOK due to a stronger SEK compared to last year.

Further details on employee benefits and operating expenses can be found in the segment sections below.

Adjusted EBITDA increased from MNOK 299.1 to MNOK 369.6. EBITDA was adjusted for transaction and integration costs in Q4 2019 of MNOK 1.6. No such adjustments were made in Q4 2020.

Interim Report Q4 2020 Kid ASA

EBITDA exclusive of IFRS16 effects was MNOK 299.3 compared to an adjusted EBITDA of MNOK 229.3 last year. The increase of MNOK 70.0 is due to strong revenue growth with increased margins and stringent cost control.

Net financial expense of MNOK 5.6 mainly relates to net interest expenses of MNOK 3.7 and unrealized foreign exchange loss of MNOK 1.5.

For Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted Net income, a complete overview of adjustments is provided in the following table:

Segment: Kid Interior

Revenues in Kid Interior increased by 15.3% to MNOK 694.2. Like-for-like revenues including online sales were up by 13.6%, with constant sales growth throughout the quarter.

Online sales increased by 59.2% to MNOK 49.2.

Kid Interior has seen growth across all categories, but in particular within bed linen, pillows and duvets. Furthermore, new initiatives introduced after 2017 have added MNOK 130.0 in revenues in 2020, of which MNOK 83.0 during Q4. New initiatives include expansion of the kitchen segment, custom sun screening, furniture, lightning, and other accessories.

Gross profit increased by MNOK 71.1 compared to last year and gross margin increased by 2.1 percentage points due to higher purchasing volumes enabling improved purchasing terms, less rebating and favourable product mix following assortment expansion.

Employee expenses increased by 4.9% to MNOK 111.4:

  • +1.8 percentage points due to net new stores
  • +0.9 percentage points due to bonus provisions driven by strong financial performance. Bonus provisions in Q4 was MNOK 4.9 (MNOK 1.6) for store employees, MNOK 4.3 (MNOK 6.7) for HQ and Logistics
  • +2.2 percentage points due to increase in HQ staff

Store bonuses are a function of actual vs. budgeted EBITDA per store for the fiscal year ending 31 December and is capped at a maximum cost of MNOK 0,23 per store. In Q4, MNOK 4.9 was provisioned and the full-year accumulated provision was MNOK 24.5 (MNOK 5.8). Furthermore, other management and HQ bonuses including social taxes were provisioned in Q4 with MNOK 4.3 and the full-year accumulated provision was MNOK 18.1 (MNOK 9.6). This includes MNOK

8.3 related to the integration of Hemtex, of which MNOK 2.3 was charged to Hemtex as segment cost. Please refer to separate section above for details.

Other operating expenses excluding IFRS16 increased by 19.5% to MNOK 114.8:

  • +0.9 percentage points related to revenue related rental costs
  • +1.2 percentage points related to rental of port warehouse
  • +5.1 percentage points related to increase in marketing costs in line with plan
  • +12.2 percentage points because of transportation and other costs related to increased online sales, and a one-off refund from a payment card supplier last year

Covid-19 cost effect during Q4 has been estimated at MNOK 4.7 because of reduced employee benefit expenses (other staff and travelling costs).

EBITDA increased by MNOK 47.0 due to higher revenues and improved margins.

Q4 2019 vs. Q4 2020 EBITDA bridge, MNOK

Capital Expenditure during Q4 amounted to MNOK 19.6 reflecting openings and refurbishments of stores.

Four new stores were opened, one was relocated, and two stores were refurbished during the fourth quarter. There were no closed stores. The total number of physical stores at the end of the quarter was 147 (144).

Segment: Hemtex

Revenues increased by MNOK 15.5 to MNOK 403.0.

In local currency revenues decreased by MSEK -23.4 or -5.7% to MSEK 384.8 mainly related to closing of unprofitable stores (MSEK -12.2), reduced Hemtex24H sales due to high volumes from customer start-up last year (MSEK -5.1) and decreased like-for-like revenues in the last half of December (MSEK -6.1).

Online sales increased by 46.4% to MSEK 55.4.

Hemtex saw a positive like-for-like growth up until stricter Swedish governmental Covid-19 related restrictions was put into effect mid-December. Online traffic increased but was not able to fully compensate as the restrictions occurred too late to ensure online customer deliveries ahead of Christmas.

The implementation of Kid products has developed positively and in general we see that adapting new initiatives from Kid Interior is successful. Furthermore, the product mix has developed positively as Hemtex customers have purchased higher quality products within current categories, e.g. bed linen, pillows and duvets, and towels.

Gross profit increased by MNOK 18.8 and gross margin increased by 2.3 percentage points compared to Q4 2019. The increase is mainly caused by a more favourable product mix with higher margins, and a reduced cost of goods sold following higher volumes and effects of joint sourcing with Kid Interior.

Employee expenses decreased by -6.2% to MNOK 63.3:

  • -4.0 percentage points due to net new and closed stores
  • -3.3 percentage points in like-for-like stores due to reduced employee expenses both from operational efficiency and reduced hours caused by Covid-19
  • -9.5 percentage points due to fewer employees at HQ in Borås, Sweden

• +10.6 percentage points due to changes in NOKSEK exchange rate

Other operating expenses excluding IFRS16, increased by 8.6% to MNOK 104.2:

  • -0.2 percentage points related to retail space and cost for LFL stores
  • -3.3 percentage points related to retail space and cost for net new/closed stores
  • -0.4 percentage points related to facility costs in HQ
  • +2.7 percentage points related to increased marketing costs
  • -4.8 percentage points due to warehouse relocation, partly offset by increased revenue related rental costs following higher sales volume online
  • -0.5 percentage points related to increased third party logistics costs
  • +15.1 percentage points due to changes in NOKSEK exchange rate

Covid-19 cost reduction effect during Q4 has been estimated at MNOK 3.1 of which reduced employee expenses accounted for MNOK 2.5.

EBITDA increased by MNOK 16.3 due to increased average prices from higher quality products, improved margins and reduced employee expenses.

Capital Expenditure during Q3 amounted to MNOK 6.9 and include openings and refurbishments in Q4.

One new store was opened, one store was relocated, and three stores were refurbished during the fourth quarter. No stores were closed. The total number of physical stores (excl. 12 franchise stores) at the end of the quarter was 119 (123).

Events after the end of the reporting period

The pandemic situation persists with local outbreaks and governmental restrictions affecting all markets, however in different ways.

Following local outbreaks in, amongst others, the greater Oslo area and the Bergen region, on average 38 stores have been closed after 22 January 2021. As per 17 February 2021, 47 stores are closed.

All stores are open in Sweden, Finland and Estonia.

Management continues to monitor the situation closely.

The Board of directors has adopted a revised dividend policy for kid ASA. Kid now targets a payout ratio of 80-100 percent of adjusted net profit with semi-annual payments.

The board will propose to the Annual General Meeting in May a dividend payment of NOK 4.40 payable in June 2021. Together with the prepayment of NOK 4.60 from November 2020 this represent 100% of the annual adjusted result after tax and in-line with the revised financial objectives.

The board of directors will also propose to the annual general meeting that the board is given the authority to distribute an additional half-year dividend in November 2021 in accordance with the dividend policy and in light of the third quarter 2021 results.

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