— The market for Fashion and Lifestyle remains challenging, but we assess that we continued to take market shares in the quarter, as we stay focused and execute on our strategy to become the leading Nordic department store.

As weather became better in the region, our growth in the second quarter improved and I am again pleased to see that we still attract a lot of new customers, despite a muted consumer environment. During the quarter, almost 300,000 new customers bought at our sites.

Profitability remains solid, however, slightly down in the quarter compared with last year. Still, I believe that we are well on track to reach our target of an adjusted EBIT margin of 10% in five years' time.

Income statement and cash flow items are compared with the corresponding year-earlier period. Balance sheet items refer to the position at the end of the period and are compared with the corresponding year earlier end of period, meaning June 30, 2023. The second quarter refers to the period April - June 2024.

Net revenue

For the second quarter, net revenue increased 11% (also 11% in local currency) to SEK 1,872 million (1,687). Sales growth was driven by all categories and was supported by a solid sellthrough of the Spring/Summer collection. However, limited access to campaign buys compared with Q2 2023 had an adverse effect on growth for the quarter.

Market conditions remained challenging in the quarter with continued low consumer confidence and a high promotional activity. The promotional pressure is mainly driven by continued price sensitive consumers, whereas in Q2 2023 the promotional activity was further fueled by high inventory levels in the industry. Finally, the timing of Easter had a slight positive impact on revenue growth. The Easter weekend is traditionally not a high selling period and in 2024, Easter was in Q1 as opposed to Q2 in 2023.

Growth on both Boozt (+10%) and Booztlet (+13%) in Q2 2024 was driven by an increase in active customers, which was driven by all major markets. Additionally, growth was supported by an increase in the average order value (AOV) on Boozt.com as well as Booztlet.com, which increased to SEK 916 (890) and SEK 919 (872), respectively, corresponding to growth of 3% and 5%.

The improvements in AOV were supported by an increase in customers putting more than one category in the basket (multi-category buyers), which further validated Boozt's Nordic Department Store strategy. The number of multi-category buyers in the last 12 months increased with more than 100,000 or 9% compared with the same period one year ago. The share of active customers that is multi-category buyers was unchanged at 51% compared with the same period last year; however, this development is held back by a high inflow of new customers, which typically buy from only one category initially.

For the first half of 2024 net revenue increased 9% (also 9% in local currency) to SEK 3,487 million (3,212).

Other revenue

Other revenue (included in revenue from Boozt.com and Booztlet.com) in the quarter was SEK 85 million (77), an increase of 10% compared with the same quarter last year. Other revenue includes revenue not directly related to product sales, such as income from Boozt Media Partnership, Boozt Data Intelligence, BooztPay and breakage from gift cards.

Net revenue geographical split

Revenue in the Nordics was SEK 1,692 million (1,555) in the quarter and increased 9% compared with the same quarter last year. Growth was driven by an increase in all major markets, including Boozt's two largest markets, Sweden (+11%) and Denmark (+6%).

Revenue in the Rest of Europe was SEK 180 million (132) and increased 36% for the quarter. The increase was driven by a very strong performance in the region for both Boozt.com (+34%) and Booztlet.com (+42%), which was mainly driven by Germany.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased 10% to SEK 784 million (713) in the quarter. The gross margin was 41.9% (42.3%) and declined 0.4 percentage points compared with the same quarter last year. The lower gross margin was mainly due to less access to campaign goods compared with Q2 2023. These products typically carry a higher gross margin.

For the first half of 2024 gross profit increased 9% to SEK 1,411 million (1,299). The gross margin was 40.5% (40.5%).

Operational costs

The fulfilment cost ratio in Q2 2024 increased slightly to 11.4% (11.2%). With the intent to increase automation, fulfilment cost in the quarter was impacted by more manual hours needed while building and testing transfer cells to connect the autostore cubes at the fulfilment center in Ängelholm. The impact is temporary and structurally the underlying efficiency is still improving in fulfilment and distribution. Year-to-date the fulfilment cost ratio decreased to 11.5% (11.6%).

The marketing cost ratio for the quarter was slightly down compared with the same quarter last year at 10.8% (11.1%). Boozt continues to gain the benefit from returning customers, which on average has an increased net spend. The loyal

customers come to a larger degree directly to Boozt (not through search engines or other), which has a positive impact on the marketing ratio. Year-to-date the marketing cost ratio decreased to 10.5% (10.6%).

The admin and other cost ratio decreased with 0.4 percentage points to 11.9% (12.3%). The improvement was mainly driven by operational leverage on costs. Year-to-date the admin & other cost ratio increased to 12.5% (12.4%).

The deprecation cost ratio for the quarter was in line with last year at 3.6% (3.7%). Year-to-date the depreciation cost ratio decreased to 3.8% (3.9%).

Adjusted EBIT

In Q2 2024, adjusted EBIT increased 7% compared with last year to SEK 92 million (86). The adjusted EBIT margin decreased 0.2 percentage point to 4.9% (5.1%). The decline was mainly due to the lower gross margin as well as the earlier mentioned temporary impact from the implementation of transfer cells in the fulfilment center.

Total adjustments in the quarter amounted to SEK 13 million (17). The adjustments for the quarter were all related to sharebased payments.

Booztlet.com

Net revenue

In Q2 2024, net revenue from Booztlet.com was SEK 348 million (307) corresponding to an increase of 13% compared with the same quarter last year (also 13% in local currency).

As in the first quarter, Booztlet had limited access to campaign goods, however, growth was maintained driven by a significant increase in active customers. The number of active customers on Booztlet.com increased 16% in Q2 2024. The increase was supported by a relevant and price-attractive assortment, continuing to benefit from the strategic shift made last year, which expanded the product assortment on Booztlet. The improved results were achieved despite a continuous highly promotional market as well as the impression that the more price-conscious customer (targeted by Booztlet) has experienced a more notable relative decline in disposable income. The latter is evident from the increasing number of customers who have reduced their shopping frequency.

Revenue from the Nordics was SEK 290 million (266) and increased 9% compared with Q2 2023, while revenue from the Rest of Europe grew 42% to SEK 57 million (40) following increased focus on the region for Booztlet.com.

The average order value for the quarter was SEK 919 (872) and increased 5% compared to the same quarter last year. The positive developments are mainly driven by an increased number of items per basket supported by the broader assortment on the site following the updated strategy.

Year-to-date, net revenue increased 13% to SEK 627 million (553).

Adjusted EBIT and EBIT

Adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 21 million (18) in the quarter corresponding to an adjusted EBIT margin of 5.9% (5.9%).

The adjustment in the quarter amounted to SEK 3 million (1) and consisted only of costs related to share-based payments.

Year-to-date, adjusted EBIT increased to SEK 28 million (13) with an adjusted EBIT margin of 4.4% (2.4%). The increase is due to a significant improvement in the EBIT margin in the first quarter, mainly driven by higher revenue.

EBIT for the second quarter was SEK 18 million (17) corresponding to an EBIT margin of 5.2% (5.6%). Year-to-date EBIT increased to SEK 21 million (9) corresponding to an EBIT margin of 3.4% (1.6%).

BOOZT GROUP

ESG

As the Nordic Department Store, we are dedicated to delivering a great shopping experience to our customers. In this pursuit, sustainability is a crucial building block for our long-term business success, ensuring that we meet the needs of our stakeholders. With the help of a clear vision and strategy, we intend to amplify our efforts and share best practices that can influence a more sustainable industry.

Care-For strategy

The sustainability Care-For strategy is the roadmap for how to become the leading e-commerce company in the Nordics. Boozt's efforts are focused on four dimensions: Environment, Employees, Community and Governance. Within each dimension, Boozt is working with three goal areas and has set targets to support the sustainability Care-For strategy. Progress on goal areas and targets can be found on page 12, 'Development per goal area'.

CSRD and ESRS Implementation

Boozt is committed to continuous improvement in its sustainability practices. Over the past two years, Boozt has consistently reported on selected ESG KPIs and highlights on a quarterly basis. With the recent shift in the legislative landscape with the upcoming Corporate Reporting Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) regulation and its European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), Boozt is adapting to embrace stricter, unified standards that will ultimately drive meaningful change within the industry. While Boozt's quarterly reporting has changed to align with the upcoming CSRD and ESRS regulations, stakeholders will stay informed about Boozt's ongoing ESG initiatives and projects through the section 'Development per goal area'.

Boozt is actively preparing for the new CSRD and ESRS regulations. During Q2, Boozt made progress in its CSRD and ESRS implementation. A data management system was established, encompassing the full ESRS framework and material disclosure requirements based on identified material topics. Boozt carried out an ESRS test reporting to identify potential data gaps and areas for improvement. This test not only helped identify missing data points but served to educate internal reporters on the new regulations. Additionally, a comprehensive sustainability handbook was developed to further support reporters and provide clear guidance on data collection, and reporting.

Development per goal area in Q2 2024

Shaping employee development

  • The second round of the 2024/2025 Mentorship Program launched this quarter, building on the success of the first round. This initiative aims to cultivate professional development opportunities for employees by fostering meaningful connections and knowledge transfer. The program emphasizes peer-to-peer learning and growth, with the core belief that all employees possess valuable insights to share.
  • This was the 13th year in a row that Boozt's Platform Conference brought our tech community together. With more than 200 talented Boozt developers and engineers in attendance, spread across our five tech hubs in Malmö, Copenhagen, Vilnius, Poznan, and Aarhus, it's been two days of knowledge sharing, innovation, and networking.

Promoting Equality

• As part of the preparation for the annual Salary Review round, Boozt together with its Union representatives conducted an objective Salary Mapping to map out any potential difference between male and female holders of similar positions.

Community

Empowering customers

BOOZT GROUP

Q2 2024

12

Outlook

Outlook 2024

Boozt's outlook for 2024 is narrowed to reflect the year-to-date performance as well as the continuously challenging trading environment. For the full year 2024, Boozt now expects net revenue growth in the range of 7-11% (previously 5-15%) and an adjusted EBIT margin of 5.2-5.7% (previously 5.2-6.0%).

Revenue growth for the year is still expected to be supported by market share gains as well as an increase in online penetration across Boozt's product categories.

The adjusted EBIT margin is expected to be challenged by a continuous promotional environment as well as the consumers' current hesitant buying behavior. The margin is still expected to benefit from economies of scale as well as cost initiatives across the Group.

CAPEX for 2024 is still expected to be in the range of SEK 150-250 million.

The outlook for 2024 assumes that the exchange rates will remain at the current level. Assuming current exchange rates versus the Swedish Krona, the impact from currency on revenue growth is expected to be insignificant.

Long-term growth and profitability ambitions

In connection with the Capital Markets Day in March 2023, Boozt announced long-term ambitions for growth and profitability.

Long-term growth and profitability ambitions:

  • Market share around 10% of the total fashion and lifestyle market in the Nordics
  • Adjusted EBIT margin exceeding 10%

Boozt has successfully managed to grow net revenue significantly faster than the Nordic market since 2017. The market in the Nordics remains attractive and the company expects to continue the accelerated market share gains supported by the position as the leading Nordic Department Store.

When the Company's growth rate is in line with the Nordic online fashion and lifestyle market, Boozt believes that its business model with best-in-industry unit economics will result in doubledigit margins and strong cash generation. More specifically, Boozt aims to reach an adjusted EBIT margin of 10% already in 2028.

Outlook 2024 Outlook as of
16 August, 2024
Previous outlook Reported, FY 2023
Revenue growth 7-11% 5-15% 15%
Adjusted EBIT margin 5.2-5.7% 5.2-6.0% 5.2%

The outlook assumes constant currencies from the time of this announcement and for the remainder of the financial year

Other information

Significant events during Q2 2024

Annual General Meeting 2024

Boozt's Annual General Meeting was held on April 25, 2024. The AGM decided that no dividends are paid to the shareholders and that the Company's profit for 2023 are carried forward. The Annual General Meeting also decided on implementation of a new long-term incentive program (LTIP 2024). More information on the outcome of the Annual General Meeting 2024 is at www.booztgroup.com/annual-general-meeting.

Boozt to expand fulfilment capacity in Ängelholm

On 25 April, Boozt announced plans to expand the capacity at its fulfilment center in Ängelholm. When the expansion is completed, the facility will be able to cater for up to SEK 15 billion in net revenue (up from currently SEK 10-11 billion). The total investments related to the capacity expansion is expected to be around SEK 500 million in the period 2025 to 2027. For more information, please find the related company announcement here.

Exercise of long-term incentive program 2021/2024

On May 28, 430,028 ordinary Boozt shares were transferred to the participants of the long-term incentive program for 2021 in accordance with the resolution at the Annual General Meeting in 2021.

The Court of appeal rules in favor of Boozt in dispute with the Norwegian Tax Administration

On 25 June, Boozt received notification that the Court of Appeals in Oslo had issued a judgement in the case involving Boozt Fashion AB and the Norwegian Tax Administration (Skatteetaten). The case centers around the validity of the Norwegian Tax Administration's decision on September 30, 2022, to reject Boozt's application for simplified registration for value-added tax in the Norwegian so called VOEC registry.

The Norwegian Tax Administration's rejection from September 2022 was grounded in its assertion that Boozt had engaged in what is known as domestic Norwegian revenue, a claim that Boozt has disputed. In September 2023, the Oslo District Court ruled that Boozt should not be considered as having domestic Norwegian revenue and that the Norwegian Tax Administration's decision from 2022 therefore was deemed to be based on an erroneous legal interpretation.

In the unanimous ruling issued by the Court of Appeals, the ruling by Oslo district Court was upheld. The ruling renders the Norwegian Tax Administration's decision from September, 2022, invalid. The judgement handed down by the Court of Appeals will become legally binding no later than September 12, 2024, unless it is appealed to the Norwegian High Court (Høyesterett) within this time frame.

Initiation of SEK 200 million share repurchase program

On June 26, Boozt announced the Board of Director's decision to launch a share repurchase program. The purpose of the program is to enable the Company to adapt its capital structure to its capital needs over time and thereby contribute to an increased shareholder value, as well as to secure the Company's undertakings in respect of long-term incentive programs.

The total number of shares that may be repurchased may not result in that the Company's shareholding (including holdings of C-shares) exceeds 10 per cent of the total number of shares

in the Company at any given time and the amount to be paid for repurchased shares may in the aggregate not exceed SEK 200 million. The program was initiated on 27 June 2024 and repurchases may be made at the longest until the Annual General Meeting 2025.

Significant events after the reporting date

There have been no significant events after the reporting date.

Treasury shares

In Q2 2024, Boozt has not repurchased any shares. In the first half of 2024, Boozt repurchased 761,500 shares in total, corresponding to SEK 98 million. This includes shares repurchased as part of the former share buyback program, which was launched in 2023 and expired on 25 April 2024.

Additionally, 430,028 ordinary Boozt shares were transferred during the quarter to the participants of the long-term incentive program for 2021.

As of the date of this report, the Company now holds 4.3% of the share capital in Boozt or a total of 2,930,658 treasury shares, of which 1,744,867 are classified as C-shares.

Parent company

Net revenue of the parent company amounted to SEK 45 million (37) in Q2 2024. The parent company has invoiced fees for management services in accordance with the Group's intracompany agreements to other Group companies during the period. Costs for the period are mainly attributable to costs related to personnel costs for the Group Management and remuneration to the Board of Directors. Net profit for the quarter totalled SEK 8 million (11).

Seasonal variances

Seasonal variances affect the Group since purchases are cyclical and inventories are built up before each season. However, each quarter is comparable between years. Traditionally the fourth quarter has the highest net revenue, whereas the first quarter has the lowest. Inventory levels in the industry can be affected by an early or late start to the season impacting the promotional activities needed to clear inventory. To illustrate the long-term development trend the Group reports rolling twelve months' figures, where applicable.

Risks and uncertainties

Boozt has developed a risk management framework with the purpose to strengthen the structure of how risk management is carried out throughout the Group. Identified risks are reviewed by the Board of Directors continuously. No recognisable risk for the Group's ability to continue as a going concern has been identified. All identified risks as well as the risk management process is described in the Group's Annual Report 2023 on pages 36-38.

Related party transactions

Boozt's related parties and the extent of transactions with its related parties are described in Note 26 in the Annual Report 2023. There have not been any significant transactions with members of Group Management or other related parties during the quarter.

Definitions of financial performance measures

The quarterly report contains certain performance measures that are not defined in accordance with IFRS (alternative performance measures). The performance measures included are used by investors, securities analysts and other stakeholders as additional measures of performance and financial position. The Group's alternative performance measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measurements presented by other companies and have certain limitations as analytical tools. They should therefore not be considered separately from, or as a substitute for, the Group's financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Definitions, calculations, and rationale behind the use of included alternative performance measures are available on the Group's website www.booztgroup.com/reports-and-presentations, "Q2 Report 2024" - "Financial data".
