Interim report Q4 2015

Interim report Q4 2015 Kid ASA

Dear Shareholders

As we now have turned the page to a new year, I would like to take this opportunity to share some highlights from the past 12 months. 2015 was a rejuvenating and challenging year for Kid Interiør, in which we have continued to build a solid platform for further development and growth, as well as demonstrated our ability to adapt to changing market conditions. Key take-aways from 2015 are:

  • Increased market share – Based on recent statistics from Statistics Norway, Kid gained market share both in Q4 and in 2015, continuing recent years' trend. Kid outperformed the market growth in the fourth quarter with 5.1 percentage points, and 5.4 percentage points for the full year 2015.
  • Currency changes Kid sources 90% of its goods in US dollars. When entering into 2015, the USDNOK exchange rate was at an unfavourable level compared to recent years. In order to secure gross margins we decided to increase prices, and to start a transformation of parts of the assortment to maintain our strategic price points. The job is not completed, but we are proud to deliver a gross margin of 60%, in line with the past 10 years.
  • Building for the future in June we moved the administration and warehouse functions to a new central warehouse in Lier. The moving process was completed in 14 days while maintaining full distribution. The new facilities have given us increased warehouse capacity for further growth, while also enabling better collaboration and innovative processes for our employees in marketing, store operations and assortment.
  • Weather impact – Our summer campaign suffered from lack of warm and dry weather in Q2, and when the warm summer weather finally came in August, timing of our back-to-school campaign impacted sales negatively in Q3.
  • Going public – The preparations for listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange started in May and was completed on November 2nd. While being an interesting and educating process, it also demanded management resources. Going forward we will focus all our energy on developing Kid Interiør further.
  • It's Christmas every year – In this report you will find the financials for the fourth Quarter. Christmas has proved to be more weather independent, and despite lack of snow in large parts of Norway this Christmas, we still delivered all-time-high revenues.

We believe that we are well positioned to continue our growth in the Norwegian market. We have strengthened the position as market leader and maintained our strong "value for money" proposition. The management team is committed to our business plan and has full focus on core business in the year to come. To keep you up to date on our development, we have decided to start reporting quarterly sales within a week after the quarter ends. These reporting dates are available in our financial calendar.

Yours sincerely,

Kjersti Hobøl CEO

Operational review

The fourth quarter is the most important with regards to revenue and profit for Kid Interiør. Kid's revenues increased by 8.5% in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 (13.6%). In the same period, the sale of home textiles in specialised stores in Norway increased by 3.3%, according to Statistics Norway. Kid's increase was primarily driven by the Christmas campaigns. Four new stores have been opened since the end of Q4 2014.

As communicated in the report for the third quarter of 2015, revenue growth in October was strong. The campaign plan was re-arranged from previous years in order to increase the marketing effect in the peak season of December. This had a limited impact on revenue in November, but resulted in a strong boost in sales during December as intended. The gross margin in the quarter was down -2.6 percentage points from the same quarter in 2014. Kid achieved the targeted gross margin on products sold at full price. Counteracting this was a change in the product mix, with a somewhat higher share of discounted goods sold.

Our main focus this quarter has been to continue growth-enhancing strategic and operational initiatives. Key initiatives and milestones have been:

  • Execution of new successful campaign plan, with changed timing and content of campaigns compared to previous years.
  • Distributing high volumes of goods to stores and online customers from the central warehouse in the peak season.
  • Strong focus on optimizing personnel expenses in the peak season. Like-for-like personnel expenses in our stores increased by only 1.8% in the quarter, despite general salary increase and like-for-like sales.
  • Continued focus on our customer loyalty program aimed at increasing store traffic, shopping frequency and basket size. The program was launched in June 2015. By the end of the fourth quarter the loyalty program had 260,000 members.
  • Listing Kid ASA on Oslo Stock exchange on November 2nd

Financial review

The figures reported in the Q4 report has not been subject to a review by the Group's auditor PwC, and the preparation has required management to make accounting judgements and estimates that impact the figures. Figures from corresponding period the previous year are in brackets, unless otherwise specified.

Profit and loss

Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2015 amounted to NOK 433.1 million (NOK 399.3 million), which represents an increase of 8.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 (13.6%). The campaign plan was re-arranged from previous years in order to increase the marketing effect in the peak season of December. This had a limited impact on revenue in November, but resulted in a strong boost in sales during December as intended. The LFL growth in the quarter was 3.2%, while LFL growth for the fiscal year of 2015 was -1.1%.

Online sales grew 53.6% in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. Last twelve months online revenues were NOK 20.4 million as of December 31, 2015 - a growth of 54.6% from the corresponding period last year.

For the fiscal year of 2015, revenues amounted to NOK 1188.4 million (NOK 1135.9 million), growing by 4.6% compared to 2014. The key drivers for the growth were positive like-for-like growth in the first and fourth quarter, and new store openings.

During the fourth quarter of 2015, new stores was opened in Stavanger (Klubbgata) and Sarpsborg (Storbyen). The stores at Rygge and Stathelle were relocated, and the store outside Bodø was relocated into City Nord shopping centre. The store at Vestkanten in Bergen was expanded.

Gross margin after realised currency effects was 60.3% (62.9%) for the quarter, and 60.0% (62.2%) for the full year 2015. The gross margin has been affected by the strengthening of the USDNOK exchange rate from 2014 to 2015, as approximately 90% of goods purchases are denominated in USD.

To compensate for a weaker NOK, Kid has increased prices to customers accordingly, and hence achieved the targeted gross margin on products sold at full price. Counteracting this was a change in the product mix, with a somewhat higher share of discounted goods sold with a lower margin. Selected strategic price points on campaign products were unchanged from the previous year, and ensured customer traffic to stores, thus reducing the gross margin on these high-volume goods.

Gross margin:

Other operating expenses, including employee benefit expenses, were NOK 161.8 million (NOK 156.1 million) in the fourth quarter. Other operating expenses include a non-recurring adjustment of NOK 2.1 million related to the Initial Public Offering ("IPO"). The costs related to the IPO was NOK 11.4 million in 2015 , above the estimated NOK 9 million as communicated in the Prospectus. NOK 5.6 million of the IPO cost is recognized as a reduction of share

premium, and NOK 5.8 million is recognized as an one-off operating expense.

Employee expenses amounted to NOK 84.8 million (NOK 81.3 million) in the fourth quarter, an increase of 4.3%. The previous management incentive program was terminated per 31.12.2015 and accounted for NOK 2.3 million of the employee expenses increase in the fourth quarter compared to the same quarter in 2014. A new management incentive model has taken effect from 1.1.2016, which will reduce personel costs in 2016. The remainder of the employee expenses increase was due to 6 new stores (time weighted) compared to the same period previous year, as well as general salary increases.

Other operating expenses have increased in the period due to net new store openings and inflation, amounting to NOK 77.0 million (NOK 74.8 million) in the fourth quarter.

For the fiscal year of 2015, other operating expenses, including employee benefits, amounted to NOK 544.6 million (NOK 519.6 million). Adjustments for all four quarters amounted to NOK 9.5 million (NOK 0.0 million), and were related to the IPO process and the relocation of the warehouse and headquarters to new premises in Lier in June.

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to NOK 99.6 million (NOK 95.2 million) in the fourth quarter. EBITDA is adjusted for unrealized losses/gains related to fluctuations in spot rates vs. currency derivative hedging values. For the fourth quarter, Kid had a change in unrealized gains of NOK -0.1 million (NOK -2.0 million). EBITDA was positively affected by strong sales development, but the effect was reduced due to a lower gross margin.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year of 2015 was NOK 169.3 million (NOK 186.7 million), down -9.3%. Adjustments in relation to unrealized gains/losses amounted to a gain of NOK 14.2 million (NOK -2.6 million) for the full year.

Adjusted EBIT amounted to NOK 92.2 million (NOK 89.3 million) in the fourth quarter, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 21.3% (22.4%). In addition to the effects described above, EBIT was affected by increased depreciation due to last year's CAPEX levels.

Adjusted EBIT for the fiscal year of 2015 was NOK 144.9 million (NOK 166.8 million), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 12.2% (14.7%).

Adjusted net financial expenses amounted to NOK 4.1 million (NOK 6.1 million) in the fourth quarter. Net financial expenses are adjusted for expenses and fair value adjustments related to a swap contract. The total adjustment in relation to the swap contract was NOK 0.2 million (NOK 9.2 million) in the fourth quarter. The swap contract was terminated on November 3 rd 2015. Adjusted net financial expenses were positively affected by decreased loan margins and lower long-term debt. An instalment of NOK 75 million was paid on November 10th 2015.

Adjusted net financial expenses for the fiscal year of 2015 was NOK 18.4 million (NOK 25.7 million). The total adjustment in relation to the swap contract was NOK 1.8 million (NOK 17.7 million) in the full year of 2015.

Adjusted net income amounted to NOK 64.7 million (NOK 60.7 million) in the fourth quarter and NOK 92.8 million (NOK 103.0 million) in 2015.

Note 1 Corporate information

Kid ASA (former known as Nordisk Tekstil Holding ASA) and its subsidiaries` (together the "company" or the "Group") operating activities are related to the resale of home textiles on the Norwegian market.

All amounts in the interim financial statements are presented in NOK 1 000 unless otherwise stated.

Due to rounding, there may be differences in the summation columns.

Note 2 Basis of preparations

These condensed interim financial statements for the three and twelve months ended 31 December 2015 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting'. The condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union ('IFRS').

Note 3 Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the annual IFRS financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014.

Amendments to IFRSs effective for the financial year ending 31 December 2015 are not expected to have a material impact on the group. The Group has not early adopted standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but is not yet effective.

Note 4 Estimates, judgements and assumptions

The Preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed interim financial statements the significant judgements made by management inn applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014.

Note 5 Segment information

The Group sells home textiles in 130 fully owned stores across Norway and through the Group's online website. Over 97% of the products are sold under own brands. The Group's aggregate online sales are approximately equal to the sales of one physical store and it is therefore not considered as a separate segment. The Norwegian market is not divided into separate geographical regions with distinctive characteristics and Kid's operations cannot naturally be split in further segments.

Note 6 Financial instruments

The group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The condensed interim financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2014. There have been no changes in any risk management policies since the year end.

Set out below is a comparison of the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014.

Fair value hierarchy

All financial instruments for which fair value is recognized or disclosed are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole, as follows:

Level 1 Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

There were no transfers between Levels or changes in valuation techniques during the period. All of the Group's financial instruments that are measured at fair value are classified as level 2.

Level 2 trading and hedging derivatives comprise forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps. These forward foreign exchange contracts have been fair valued using forward exchange rates that are quoted in an active market. Interest rate swaps are fair valued using forward interest rates extracted from observable yield curves. The effects of discounting are generally insignificant for Level 2 derivatives.
