Interim report Q3 2015 Kid ASA

Dear Shareholders

2 November 2015 marked a milestone in the history of Kid when the company's shares were listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Over the last years our employees have successfully managed to strengthen the company's market position, profitability and balance sheet. At the same time, we have been able to invest significantly in our store portfolio and employees, and the company has even relocated into a new and modern warehouse and headquarter, which I am confident we will benefit from going forward.

At this point in time, which marks the start of a new era for our company, I would like to take a few moments to reflect on what we have achieved over the last few years and where we start off as a listed company:

• Significantly increased market share from 26% in 2012 to 31% in 2014 which makes Kid the undisputable leader among our peers within home textile retailers
• Unmatched brand awareness 97% of Norwegian women are familiar with the Kid brand
• Impressive top line growth 11% annual growth from 2012 to 2014 (CAGR)
• Stable gross margins consistently between 59-62% over the last 10 years, despite currency exchange rate fluctuations, changing raw material prices and strong seasonal patterns
• Stellar profitability EBIT margin of 14,7% in 2014 and EBIT growth of 19% annually (CAGR) from 2012 to 2014 makes Kid one of the most profitable retailers in Norway
• Strong balance sheet and reasonable gearing ratio Strong cash conversion has enabled us to repay NOK 225 mill. in long-term debt over the last three years, and the recent equity issue of NOK 175 mill. has further strengthened our financial position, we target a gearing ratio of 2,5 going forward
• Substantial dividend potential we target a 60-70% payout ratio on net profits

I am proud of having been part of the Kid team over the last five years, where we have refocused the chain with the goal of delivering a strong value proposition and helping our customers to create beautiful homes. Furthermore, I am confident that Kid will continue to deliver strong performance for our shareholders and other stakeholders in the future, and I really look forward to continue the journey as a listed company.

Yours sincerely,

Kjersti Hobøl CEO

Operational review

Kid operates in a market characterised by seasonal patterns, where the second half is most important with regards to revenue, profit and cash flow. The fourth quarter with the holiday season is the most important, while August is also an important month with the start of the school year supporting strong demand for interior articles.

Kid's revenues declined by -2.7% in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014 (3.6%). In the same period the sale of home textiles in specialised stores in Norway declined by -3.8%, according to Statistics Norway. Kid's decline was primarily driven by the poor market development, and LFL stores declined by -8.1%. Seven new stores have been opened since the end of Q3 2014.

The results in the third quarter of 2015 were affected by the poor weather in Norway in July, which affected the seasonal product assortment targeting the outdoor environment, as well as unusually warm weather in August, which led to a sharp decline in shopping centre visitors. The strengthening of the US Dollar relative to the Norwegian Krone continued to affect gross profit. Several measures were implemented during the quarter to compensate for this, including re-initiation of the hedging strategy and price increases, which helped lift the gross margin above 60%.

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

• Implementation of the "Back to School" launch immediately after the Summer break.
• Strong focus on cost control, with personnel expenses coming in below the level in the same quarter in 2014 despite having 9 new stores opened during the third quarter in 2015.
• Continued focus on the customer loyalty program aimed at increasing store traffic, shopping frequency and basket size. By the end of the third quarter the club had 175,000 members, a strong increase of members since launch in June 2015.
• Centralisation of the online store at the new warehouse, in order to better serve the online customers. The Company's online sales grew 39% compared to the same period in 2014, and we are working on developing the online store into a responsive website, i.e. providing optimal viewing and interaction across all electronic platforms.

Financial review

The figures reported in the Q3 report has been subject to a limited 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 third quarter of 2015 amounted to NOK 287.6 million (NOK 295.5 million), which represents a decrease of -2.7% compared to the third quarter of 2014 (3.6%). The revenue decline in Q3 was entirely driven by a weak August, where consumers were not visiting shopping centres due to unusually warm weather, following a cold June and July. Norwegian shopping centres reported weak trade numbers, and data from Statistics Norway showed that the Norwegian market for textiles was down -8.1% in August compared to the corresponding month in 2014. Sales in July were ahead of last year while September sales were approximately at 2014 level. The LFL growth in the quarter was -8.1%, while LFL growth for the first three quarters was -3.4%.

Online sales grew 39% in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014. Last twelve month (LTM) online revenue was NOK 17.3 million as of September 30, 2015.

For the first three quarters of 2015, revenue amounted to NOK 755.3 million (NOK 736.7 million), growing by 2.5% compared to the first three quarters of 2014. The key drivers of the revenue increase are related to a strong first half, mainly driven by new store openings.

During the third quarter of 2015, Kid relocated one store. In September, our store at CC Hamar was relocated to a better location within the shopping centre.

Gross margin after realised currency effects was 60.8% (62.3%) for the quarter, and 59.7% (61.8%) for

the first three quarters. The gross margin has been affected by the strengthening of the USD/NOK exchange rate, as approximately 90% of goods purchases are denominated in USD. In the third quarter, the effects of the currency rate were still prevalent. However, towards the end of the period, the Company saw effects from its hedging contracts and price increase activities implemented during the quarter. Counteracting this was a change in the product mix, with a somewhat higher share of campaign goods sold.

Gross margin

Other operating expenses, including employee benefits expenses, came to NOK 127.0 million (NOK 123.0 million) in the third quarter. Other operating expenses include a non-recurring adjustment of NOK 3.3 million related to the IPO. Despite having a higher number of stores in third quarter 2015, employee expenses were slightly below the corresponding period in 2014, amounting to NOK 61.4 million (NOK 61.8 million). Other operating

expenses have however increased in the period due to net new store openings, amounting to NOK 65.6 million (NOK 61.2 million) in the third quarter.

For the first three quarters of 2015, other operating expenses, including employee benefits, amounted to NOK 382.8 million (NOK 363.5 million). Adjustments for the first three quarters amounted to NOK 7.4 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 came to NOK 48.6 million (NOK 61.1 million) in the third quarter. EBITDA is adjusted for unrealized losses/gains related to fluctuations in spot rates vs currency derivative hedging values. For the third quarter, Kid had an unrealized gain of NOK 7.1 million (NOK -2.8 million). EBITDA was affected by the lower gross margins and higher other operating expenses in the quarter. The negative LFL growth and unfavourable weather also had an adverse impact on the figures.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first three quarters of 2015 came to NOK 69.7 million (NOK 91.5 million), representing a decrease of -23.9%. Adjustments in relation to unrealized gains/losses amounted to a gain of NOK 14.4 million (NOK -0.6 million) in the period. For full year 2014, the adjustments amounted to an unrealized loss of NOK -2.6 million.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBIT amounted to NOK 43.0 million (NOK 56.2 million) in the third quarter, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 14.9% (19.0%). The main reasons for the performance are described above in relation to adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBIT for the first three quarters came to a total of NOK 52.7 million (NOK 77.6 million), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 7.0% (10.5%).

Adjusted net financial expenses amounted to NOK 4.5 million (NOK 6.4 million) in the third 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 3.6 million (NOK -0.2 million) in the third quarter. Adjusted net financial expenses were positively affected by decreased margins and lower long-term debt.

Adjusted net financial expenses for the first three quarters of 2015 came to a total of NOK 14.3 million (NOK 19.6 million). The total adjustment in relation to the swap contract was NOK 1.6 million (NOK 8.5 million) in the first three quarters.

Adjusted net income amounted to NOK 28.1 million (NOK 36.4 million) in the third quarter. Adjusted net income for the first three quarters came to NOK 28.0 million (NOK 42.3 million).

Events after the end of the reporting period

The company's shares were listed on Oslo Stock Exchange on November 2 nd 2015, and the company also raised 175 MNOK in an equity issue.

As of November 3 rd 2015, the Company terminated the MNOK 600 million interest swap agreement at a one-time cash charge of NOK 20.4 million plus NOK 1 million in accrued interest (the book value of the swap was NOK 21.2 million as of 30 September 2015).

Note 1 Corporate information

Kid ASA (previously Nordisk Tekstil Holding AS) 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 nine months ended 30 September 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 pre-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 128 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 30 September 2015 and 31 December 2014.

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.
