Interim report Q1 2020 Kid ASA

Interim Report Q1 2020 Kid ASA

Dear Shareholders

In the first quarter of 2020, we were off to a good start with increased sales and activity. In March, however, all markets were hit by the Covid-19 outbreak, although with varying effects with regards to sales drop and store closures. As the impact of the outbreak situation has gradually normalised, we can conclude that the Kid and Hemtex organisations have safely navigated through troubled water, with double digit like-for-like sales development in April, and all stores in Norway, Sweden and Finland open after Easter.

These are the key takeaways from the first quarter:

  • The Covid-19 outbreak occurred during the first quarter, our least significant quarter in terms of revenues and earnings. All markets had a positive development ahead of the pandemic outbreak, but sales dropped immediately on 11 March. Revenues, however, started to increase again towards the end of the first quarter and this has continued throughout April. After the recent reopening of our five Estonian stores in May, all our stores in all markets are now open.
  • Following the pandemic outbreak, our key focus in Q1 was safeguarding the health of our employees and customers, whilst securing stable and predictable operational continuity. By taking prompt measures such as temporary staff layoffs, postponed investment decisions, postponed instalment and reduced dividend, we have maintained a strong financial position. Furthermore, we are working closely with our suppliers in order to secure deliveries, and we expect only minor delays during 2020.

  • We have increased storage capacity in Kid Interior with a buffer storage facility in Drammen to enable continued growth and ensure more effective logistics during the high seasons of summer and autumn. Furthermore, the ongoing assembly of the Autostore unit in the central warehouse in Norway will further improve delivery efficiency from Q3 for both online customers and physical stores. In Sweden, the transition to a new third party logistics partner was completed according to plan without negative effects on operations.

  • The integration of Hemtex continued according to plan, including three store refurbishments. Stores with our new and common store concept show higher sales growth compared to other stores. Also, the Dekosol program (technical sun screening) was successfully launched as a new category by Hemtex in the end of March.
  • Online sales in both Kid and Hemtex accelerated during the quarter, especially after the pandemic outbreak. Despite significantly increased activity, we managed to maintain short delivery times and quality customer service.

As we are gradually facing some sort of normality, I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of my co-workers in Kid and Hemtex for their extraordinary efforts and contributions over the last few months. In order to proactively secure the health and interests of our employees, customers and shareholders, we have been compelled to take tough decisions. Notwithstanding this, the dedication and resolve demonstrated by our team has been second to none.

Going forward, we see continued demand for home and interior products following the Covid-19 outbreak and authorities' social distancing and travelling guidelines. Combined with a fresh and attractive summer and autumn assortment, the Kid Group should have a solid basis for continued growth for the remainder of 2020.

Yours sincerely,

First quarter in brief

  • Proforma Group revenues increased by 0.7% and like-for-like growth was 0.9%. Revenues were negatively impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19.
  • Gross margin decreased by 0.4 pp due to favourable FX position last year.

Financial review for the Kid Group

Except for the revenue impacts described below, there are no other financial impacts booked in the Q1 accounts related to the COVID-19 outbreak. The previous announced notice of temporally layoffs in Kid Interior had only minor effect in Q1. Remaining effects will materialize in the Q2 accounts together with other and similar actions implemented in Hemtex.

Revenues

Proforma Group revenues increased by 0.7% to MNOK 508.0. Pro forma Q1 2019 revenues of MNOK 504.3 includes Hemtex revenues of MNOK 206.2. Proforma group revenues on a likefor-like basis were up by 0.9%.

Revenues had a positive development until the COVID-19 outbreak after which revenues were instantly down in all our markets. However, after the first days of initial sales drop, demand gradually improved in Norway and subsequently also in Sweden. Only a few stores were temporarily closed in Norway and no stores were closed in Sweden.

The situation in Finland has been challenging. No stores have been closed, but customer visits and revenues have been significantly reduced. In Estonia, all stores have been closed following governmental regulations, but are now reopened. Finland and Estonia accounted for less than 5% of Group revenues in the quarter and in 2019.

Gross margin was 60.1% which is a reduction of 0.4 pp. First quarter last year was positively influenced by favourable FX rates compared to the first quarter of this year.

Gross margin:

Employee benefits expenses increased by MNOK 59 to MNOK 141.7, mainly due to the Hemtex acquisition. Employee benefits expenses are further described in the respective Segment sections.

Operating expenses

Excluding IFRS16, Operating Expenses increased by MNOK 54.8 to MNOK 100.4 caused by the Hemtex acquisition. Operating expenses are in line with expectations, and are further described in the Segment sections.

Q1 2019 vs Q1 2020 revenue bridge, MNOK

Adjusted EBITDA increased from MNOK 52.0 to MNOK 64.7. Adjusted EBITDA includes an add-back of MNOK 1.2 in integration costs.

Exclusive of IFRS16 effects, EBITDA was negative with MNOK -7.7 compared to a positive EBITDA of MNOK 15.0 last year. The reduction of MNOK -22.7 is caused by the acquisition of Hemtex, accounting for a reduction of MNOK -4.9, and Kid Interior reduction of MNOK -13.8. The main reason for reduced Kid Interior EBITDA is the sales drop in March following the COVID-19 outbreak.

Net financial income of MNOK 14.7 mainly consists of an unrealised FX gain from intercompany loans of MNOK 19 and financial expenses related to external borrowings of MNOK 4.5.

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 decreased by -3.6% to MNOK 287.1.

Until the outbreak, like-for-like revenues were up by +2.5% in Kid Interior. Following the World Health Organization's declaration of the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic on 11 March and the subsequent actions taken by governments, sales dropped instantly and were down by -23.9% for the remainder of the quarter. Loss of revenues from physical stores have been partly offset by increased online sales of +31.7% during the quarter.

Gross profit was reduced by MNOK 10.8 compared to last year. MNOK 6.5 was due to reduced revenues following the COVID-19 situation and the remaining MNOK 4.3 was caused by reduced gross margin mainly due to a weakened NOK versus USD. The gross margin last year was positively affected by a favourable FX rate position.

Employee expenses increased by 0.2% to MNOK 82.8:

  • 0.0 percentage points due to net new stores
  • -5.3 percentage points reduction due to a combination of decreased provision for store, HQ and management bonus and an additional MNOK 3.3 in reversed bonus accrual for 2019
  • +3.7 percentage points due to general salary inflation and increased staffing level in LFL stores
  • +1,7 percentage points due to general salary inflation and increased staffing level at HQ

Other operating expenses excluding IFRS16, increased by 3.6% to MNOK 85.5:

+3.5 percentage points related to an increase in marketing costs. Marketing costs in percentage of sales are expected to remain at the same level as last year for FY2020.

  • 0.7 percentage points related to retail space and cost for LFL stores
  • -0.6 percentage points related to retail space and cost for net new stores

The drop in revenue occurred instantly late March. Hence, even with actions taken immediately as described in our Revenue and Business Update dated 7 April, with minor exceptions no cost effects will materialize before April.

Following the integration of Hemtex, certain group costs and capital expenditures have been booked in Kid Interior. Such costs will during 2020 be further assessed and allocated to the respective segments in which they belong, based on common accepted methodology.

EBITDA decreased by MNOK 12.0 mainly due to a lower Gross Profit as described above.

Q1 2019 vs. Q1 2020 EBITDA bridge, MNOK

Capital Expenditures during Q1 amounted to MNOK 6.0.

During the first quarter, no new stores were opened, and one store was closed at Hillevåg. Two stores were refurbished in Årnes and Hamar. The total number of physical stores at the end of the quarter was 143 compared to 142 first quarter last year.

Segment: Hemtex

Revenues in Hemtex increased by 6.6% (pro forma) to MNOK 220.9.

Until the COVID-19 outbreak, like-for-like revenues were up by +18.3% in Hemtex. Following the World Health Organization's declaration of the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic on 11 March and the subsequent actions taken by governments, sales dropped instantly and were down by -22.8% for the remainder of the quarter. Loss of revenues from physical stores have been partly offset by increased online sales of +38.0% during the quarter.

Gross margin increased compared to 2019 due to reduced rebate levels during January sales and a one-off effect of freight costs adjustments of MNOK 4. Actual freight costs were lower than calculated due to of changes in sourcing.

Gross margin for the Hemtex segment is based on FX derivatives entered into before the acquisition in May 2019. Reference is made to the Q3-2019 report for further details.

Employee benefit costs was MNOK 58.1 and reflects a reduction of employees at Hemtex HQ.

Operating expenses includes relocation cost to a new third party logistics provider in Sweden of MNOK 2.6 and use of external temporary consultants and personnel at a total cost of MNOK 1.8.

EBITDA was MNOK 28.8.

Following the integration of Hemtex, certain group costs and capital expenditures have been booked in Kid Interior. Such costs will during 2020 be further assessed and allocated to the respective segments in which they belong, based on common accepted methodology.

Capital Expenditures during Q1 amounted to NOK 1.8 million.

During the first quarter, three stores in Sweden were closed (Kristianstad, Eskilstuna and Bålsta). Three stores in Sweden were refurbished with the Kid concept (Norrköping Ingelsta, Örebro Krämaren and Upplands Väsby). The total number of physical stores including franchise stores at the end of the quarter was 132 compared to 141 last year.
