Interim report Q3 2020 Kid ASA

Dear Shareholders

Kid has seen strong demand for home and interior products since the COVID-19 outbreak, with solid growth across categories. With a like-for-like growth of 16.6%, an improved gross margin and strong cost control, the Kid Group presents its highest Q3 EBITDA ever!

These are the key takeaways from the third quarter:

  • The Kid Group's revenues in Q3 were driven by strong growth across categories and trend and base assortment. Bedlinen, kitchen products and our cabin collection ('lodge collection') were among those with the highest growth. Also, online sales continued its strong growth.
  • COVID-19 has affected our markets in different ways. Footfall in the Norway was high during the quarter, resulting in a like-for-like growth of 20.9% in Kid Interior. Hemtex also had a good start to the quarter, and although customer traffic declined towards the end of the quarter, we still generated a like-for-like growth of 9.2%.
  • It has been just over a year since we acquired Hemtex, but we have already exceeded our operational targets and reached an important milestone by surpassing our 2021 rolling-twelve-month EBITDA target of 100 million ahead of time. I am impressed by the integration work and happy to see employees working across physically closed borders, while at the same time achieving strong results. We now expect to reach the targeted Hemtex EBITDA of 150 million well ahead of 2023 which was the original target.

  • We are gradually phasing Kid products into our Hemtex stores, and all products are now being sourced from the centralised headquarters in Lier, Norway. We continue to add Kid products to the Hemtex assortment and thereby enabling further profitable growth.

  • To further strengthen our sales growth, we have decided to invest in a new technology platform which will improve the customer's online journey. The new platform will be gradually implemented over the next two and a half years and consider it to be the fundament for our future digital development across sales channels, as well as current geographies.
  • After continuously optimizing the Hemtex store portfolio since the acquisition, we have now opened the first new store in Sweden. We are planning for more openings, and during Q4 we will open four new stores in Kid Interior, thus approaching our ambition of approximately 150 stores in Norway.
  • We have decided to increase our footprint in Finland and Estonia with an ambition to reach twenty Hemtex stores in Finland and eight in Estonia within the next five years with a potential revenue of 100 million.
  • We continue to strengthen our sustainability activities. Over the last twelve months we have reduced plastic packaging by 80 tons by switching to recyclable packaging. During Q3 we have launched Ocean duvets which are made from 100% recycled plastic from the oceans.
  • Following our strong financial performance, the Board of Directors have decided to pay a half-year dividend of NOK 5.80 per share in November.

We are really looking forward to an exciting Q4 with Black Friday and Christmas shopping ahead of us. We are well prepared and will inspire our customers to get into the festive spending mood!

Yours sincerely,

Financial review for the Kid Group

Q3 2020 was another strong quarter for the Kid Group both in terms of revenues and profitability.

There were only limited COVID-19 cost reduction effects in the quarter, estimated at MNOK 2.5.

Revenues

Group revenues increased by 16.5% to MNOK 729.0 (MNOK 625.9), and by 11.5% (653.7) based on a constant currency calculation. Group revenues on a like-for-like basis were up by 16.6% with constant currency calculation.

Demand in Norway was strong through the quarter, resulting in a LFL-growth of 20.9%. Hemtex saw a LFL-growth of 9.2% with somewhat slower traffic and LFL-growth shifting during the quarter in Sweden. Finland remains more challenging with a negative trend towards the end of the quarter while growth in Estonia was positive all through the quarter. Finland and Estonia account for less than 5% of Group Revenues.

Q3 2019 vs Q3 2020 revenue bridge, MNOK

Gross margin was 63.1%, up 3.6 percentage points compared to Q3 2019.

The increase in gross margin is mainly driven by increased average prices from product mix and price increases, and less rebating.

Gross margin:

Employee benefits expenses increased by MNOK 12.2 to MNOK 150.6. In Kid Interior, bonus provisions increased based on strong financial performance during the quarter. In Hemtex employee benefits expenses decreased in local currency, due to closed stores and downsizing at the Swedish HQ as a part of the integration process with Kid Interior.

Operating expenses excluding IFRS16 increased by MNOK 7.7 to MNOK 170.9. Kid Interior had an increased turnover based rental cost, while Hemtex had a reduction in operating expenses in local currency based on reduced rental and general admin costs.

Further details on employee benefits and operating expenses are in the Segment sections below.

Adjusted EBITDA increased from MNOK 144.0 to MNOK 214.5. EBITDA was adjusted for transaction and integration costs in Q3 2019 of MNOK 3.1, while no such adjustments were made in Q3 2020.

Net financial expense of MNOK 2.3 relates to net interest expenses on external borrowings.

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

Liquidity and borrowings

The Group has a satisfactorily liquidity position.

Excluding IFRS16 leasing liabilities, net interestbearing debt was MNOK 397.2 at the end of the quarter, corresponding to 0.85 x LTM EBITDA (excluding IFRS16).

The Group had cash and available credit facilities of MNOK 500.7 as of 30 September 2020.

EBITDA exclusive of IFRS16 effects was MNOK 138.9 compared to an adjusted EBITDA of MNOK 75.3 last year. The increase of MNOK 63.6 is due to strong revenue growth with increased margins and cost control.

  • +4.8 percentage points due to increased staffing level in LFL stores and general salary increases

Accumulated provision after Q3 2020 is MNOK 19.7. Subject to actual results for the remainder of the year, other management and HQ bonuses of MNOK 4.3 including social taxes

Online sales increased by 45.8% to MSEK 25.3.

Following the integration of Hemtex, certain group costs and capital expenditures have been booked in Kid Interior. Such costs will be assessed and allocated to the respective segments at year end, based on common accepted methodology.

Capital Expenditure during Q3 amounted to MNOK 9.1 and include openings and refurbishments in Q4.

One new store was opened, one was relocated, three stores were closed, and two stores were refurbished during Q3. The total number of physical stores at the end of the quarter was 118 (124).

Events after the end of the reporting period

The pandemic situation persists, and we continue to see new outbreaks in all markets. The management is monitoring the situation closely.

At the Annual General Meeting in May 2020, the Board of Directors were authorized to approve the distribution of a half-year dividend. The Board of Directors have based the decision on the strong financial performance in 2020, and the current dividend policy whereby 60-80% of the annual adjusted results after tax and excess cash are distributed as a dividend. The Board of Directors have made a resolution to pay a half-year dividend of NOK 5.80 per share in November 2020. The

dividend consists of NOK 1.2 per share that was withheld in June on the back of the high degree of uncertainty related to the COVID-19 outbreak, and a semi-annual prepayment of NOK 4.60 per share.

The board will in the Q4 report on 17 February 2021 propose the next dividend payment based on the fiscal year 2020 results, payable in May 2021.

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