We are pleased to report a robust fourth quarter for the Kid Group, achieving double-digit growth and revenues of MNOK 1,403.7, with Hemtex notably growing by 17.0%. The primary drivers include a strong Christmas seasonal assortment, effective marketing, improved inventory coverage compared to previous year, and highquality store operations. These factors have collectively contributed to Kid Group setting new records once again.
An incremental campaign in week 47, to our customer club members, was one of several activities that contributed to strong growth across all channels and segments, though at the expense of margins. Growth in the quarter was further accelerated by our omnichannel and category development initiatives. Additionally, increased focus on Finland and Estonia, with enhanced marketing efforts and updated pricing strategy, has yielded positive results.
As a consequence of the sales development this quarter, the increased volume caused logistical challenges in Norway, resulting in slightly longer lead times for the Online sale channel in week 47 to 51. The new central warehouse in Sweden is expected to improve this situation by the next Christmas shopping season.
Online sales accounted for MNOK 182.9 (MNOK 160.2), representing an online share of 13.0% (12.8%). Categories introduced since 2022 accounted for MNOK 55.1 (MNOK 33.9) in revenues. New categories are important for driving customer traffic and enhancing sales of existing assortment.
We observe positive development across most categories, with the bathroom, bedlinen, and Christmas seasonal products being key growth drivers this quarter compared to last year. The bathroom category continues to drive growth, following a similar pattern to the kitchen category historically.
Kid Group currently operates two logistical setups; one for the Norwegian market with a warehouse located in Lier (Norway), and one for the other markets located in Borås (Sweden). In
August 2023, Kid Group decided to expand the Swedish warehouse and close the Norwegian warehouse to handle higher volumes and streamline operations. The construction of the new common warehouse has been progressing according to plan and the common warehouse is expected to be operational medio 2025.
The common warehouse, previously owned by a JV where Kid Group controls 50%, was sold in December 2024 to a fund managed by Storebrand Asset Management. Kid Group has favorable terms with a 20-year lease agreement, including termination rights after 8 and 14 years.
Investments in new stores, as well as the expansion and renovation of existing stores, continue to contribute to strong growth. During the quarter we have completed 10 store projects in Kid Interior and Hemtex in total, opened three new stores and closed one store. By the end of the quarter, we have in total signed contracts for seven new stores in Norway including five Extended stores, and three in Finland. These stores are estimated to open during 2025.

¹Calculated in constant currency

Kid Group reports another record-high EBITDA in the fourth quarter, driven by strong revenue growth and effective cost management. This result is attributed to successful assortment and category development initiatives, effective marketing, high-quality store operations, and a dedicated team. This achievement is slightly offset by a reduced gross margin compared to last year.
Total Group revenues increased by 12.0% (+13.0%), with positive growth in every month overall. In constant currency, revenues increased by 11.7% (+10.2%). Net new stores contributed positively.
A customer club campaign was added in week 47 due to the timing of Black Week this year. This incremental campaign was one of several activities that contributed to strong growth across all sale channels and segments.
We are experiencing positive growth across the major categories, particularly in bathroom, bedlinen and Christmas seasonal products this quarter. The likefor-like revenue growth increase was
10.1% (+9.3%) in the quarter, calculated on a constant currency basis. Both Kid Interior and Hemtex experienced positive revenue development and customer traffic in the physical stores.
Group Online revenues increased by 13.7% (+26.6%) in the quarter calculated with constant currency, representing 13.0% (12.8%) of total Group revenues. Hemtex significantly drove online revenue development with a robust growth of 21.9% (+24.8%), while we are also satisfied with Kid Interior's growth of 5.9% (+28.4%), which comes on top of the high growth base last year.
Categories launched since 2022 accounted for MNOK 55.1 (MNOK 33.9) of revenues in the quarter.
Gross margin decreased by 2.2 percentage points compared to the previous year, primarily due to Kid Interior, while Hemtex had a positive impact. The decrease is mainly attributed to higher share of freight in the cost of goods sold, an incremental campaign in week 47, and the effect of early price adjustments last year. Finally, improved inventory coverage resulting
in higher volumes sold on campaign at the expense of the margin.
The sale of the single purpose vehicle, Prognosgatan Fastighets AB, owning the Swedish warehouse was completed in December 2024, recording a gain of MNOK 35.5 as "Share of result from joint ventures" in the profit and loss statement this quarter. The net effect for the full-year 2024 was MNOK 33.3.
The transaction is expected to positively impact cash flow by approx. MNOK 100, of which MNOK 72.1 was received and booked as cash flow from investments in the fourth quarter. The remaining amount is expected to be received and booked in H2-25, with no further material profit and loss effect, subject to final settlement with the buyer.


Employee expenses increased by MNOK 16.2 to MNOK 236.2:
Other operating expenses increased by MNOK 3.3 to MNOK 159.1:
operating material costs following the increased activity level
EBITDA increased by MNOK 44.6 to MNOK 464.5 mainly due to increased revenue.
Depreciation increased compared to last year mainly due to investments in the warehouse in Sweden and IFRS 16 effect related to the rental portfolio, as well as store projects.
Net financial expenses of MNOK 22.5 (MNOK 18.0) relates to net interest expenses of MNOK 8.2 (MNOK 4.1), net other financial expenses of MNOK 0.4 (MNOK 0.5), net FX income of MNOK 0.8 (MNOK -1.7) and IFRS 16 interest expenses of MNOK 14.7 (MNOK 11.7).
During the quarter, dividends of MNOK 121.9 were paid. Furthermore, the draw on revolving credit facility was fully repaid of MNOK 230.0 by the end of the quarter.
Excluding IFRS 16 effects, net interestbearing debt was MNOK 263.1 (MNOK 296.6) at the end of the quarter, corresponding to a gearing ratio of 0.42x (0.54x) of LTM EBITDA. The Group had cash and available credit facilities of MNOK 830.5 (MNOK 827.1) as of 31 December 2024 and has a satisfactorily liquidity situation. The facilities include an unused term-loan facility of MNOK 125.
Cash flow from operations is record high due to the strong profit and positively impacted by contribution from net working capital ("NWC"). This quarter's high investments are related to new stores, store projects, IT initiatives and the new warehouse in Sweden, positively impacted by the cash effect from the loan repayment following the warehouse sale. Cash flow from financing includes lease payments, net interests, repayment of overdraft facilities and dividend pay-out in November.
Capital expenditures (CAPEX) amounted to MNOK 87.3 (MNOK 30.7) during Q4, mainly relating to store openings and store projects. Investments related to the warehouse project in Sweden accounted for MNOK 6.1 (MNOK 0) in the quarter.

Revenues increased 8.8% compared to last year, mainly due to increased number of customers in both physical stores and Online, in addition to basket size in physical stores. An important driver was the incremental customer club campaign in week 47. The number of shopping days was 80 (79) in total for the quarter.
Online revenues increased by +5.9% (+28.4%) to MNOK 86.8 (MNOK 81.9).
Gross margin decreased by -4.2 percentage points to 61.3%. Last year, the margin was notably affected by early price adjustments to align with higher currency hedge levels and freight rates on historical level. This quarter's margin is negatively impacted by a higher share of freight costs in the cost of goods sold and somewhat from changes in the campaign activity plan.
Employee expenses increased by MNOK 3.1:
Bonus provision year-to-date amounted to MNOK 24.7 (MNOK 25.9).
Other operating expenses decreased by MNOK -6.5:
16 effects, reflecting the increase in rental cost included in Logistics, HQ and stores due to index regulations, re-negotiated contracts and net new stores



Revenues increased 17.0% compared to the previous year, is mainly due to increased number of customers in both physical stores and Online and larger basket sizes. We are pleased with this strong development, building on the third quarter's performance compared to last year. The increase is mainly attributed to the incremental customer club campaign in week 47, combined with increased campaign activities in Black Week compared to last year. The number of shopping days was the same as last year 91 (91).
Online revenues increased by 21.9% (+24.8%) to MNOK 96.1 (MNOK 78.8), based on a constant currency calculation.
Measured on a constant currency basis, Hemtex 24h revenues decreased by MNOK -2.7 compared to Q4-23.
Gross margin increased by 1.0 percentage points to 61.0%. The increase in margin is attributed to the campaign activity plan, mix effects and somewhat less negative margin impact from Hemtex 24h revenues due to revenue development as described.
Employee expenses increased by MNOK 13.0:
Bonus provision year-to-date amounted to MNOK 7.9 (MNOK 3.8).
