| Adjusted EBIT | SEK 300-350 million | SEK 275-375 million | 285.6 |
The outlook assumes constant currencies from the time of this announcement and for the remainder of the financial year.
*The Adjusted EBIT outlook for 2023 is positively impacted by a reassessment of the useful lives of selected parts of the Group's fixed assets that mainly relates to the AutoStore installations. The reassessment is carried out to better reflect market practice and by doing so the Group assesses a higher degree of comparability of EBIT towards industry peers. Compared to 2022, the positive impact on yearly depreciation on a like-for-like basis is in the level SEK 25 million.

"We continue to gain market share and grow our business profitably even though market growth for fashion and lifestyle items remains muted. Our organisation and infrastructure has never been more solid and we are geared to handle significant growth once the market picks up. With the investments we have done I believe there is meaningful operational leverage as we continue our journey with the Nordic Department Store Strategy."

Our organisation and infrastructure has never been more solid and we are geared to handle significant growth once the market picks up.
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 period, meaning June 30, 2022. The second quarter refers to the period April - June 2023.
Net revenue in the second quarter increased 8.6% to SEK 1,687.2 million (1,553.2). Currency had a positive impact on net revenue growth in the second quarter of 4.2 percentage points and relates primarily to the strengthening of DKK and EUR compared to SEK in the second quarter last year.
The quarter got off to a strong start impacted by a solid inventory position of Spring/Summer collections and the delayed spring sales kicking off with improved weather conditions throughout the Nordics. Towards the end of the quarter sales were more muted with lower growth impacted by more cautious customer behaviour.
The continued execution of our Nordic Department Store strategy enabled us to continue to grow the business and the average order value and management assesses that Boozt has continued to gain market share in the second quarter of the year. Return rates increased slightly due to the category mix.
The net revenue increase was driven by 8.1% growth for Boozt.com and 11.0% for Booztlet.com.
Other revenue (included in net revenue) increased to SEK 68.4 million (59,1) in the second quarter mainly driven by Boozt Data Intelligence supporting our brand partner with valuable insights into customer behaviour and product performance. Other revenue is revenue not directly related to product sales, such as income from Boozt Media Partnership, Boozt Data Intelligence, BooztPay and breakage from gift cards.
For the first half of 2023 net revenue increased 7.9% to SEK 3,211.9 million (2,977.2). Currency had a positive impact on net revenue growth in the first half of 3.6 percentage points and relates primarily to the strengthening of DKK and EUR compared to SEK in the first half last year.
Net revenue in the Nordics increased 7.0% with the strongest performance in Finland followed by Denmark and Sweden. The growth in Rest of Europe came to 32.6%. For the second quarter, the most significant markets in terms of net revenue were Denmark and Sweden accounting for 35.0% and 34.1% of total net revenue respectively.

The gross profit increased 11.1% to SEK 712.9 million (641.9) in the quarter. The gross margin increased to 42.3% (41.3) positively impacted by an attractive inventory mix supported by a higher share of campaign buys. The company entered the year with a healthy inventory position with the expectation that upfront buys could be supported by campaign buys to protect the gross margin in a highly competitive market and for the first half of the year this has materialised in a gross margin slightly higher than last year.
For the first half of 2023 gross profit increased 8.1% to SEK 1,299.2 million (1,201.4). The gross margin increased slightly to 40.5% (40.4).
The fulfilment cost ratio decreased to 11.2% (11.4). In the second quarter, productivity improvements continued to benefit from operational initiatives along with a continued positive impact from the increasing average order value. The recent years capacity expansion has provided ample space to grow the business and the company expects to gradually increase utilisation of automation and warehouse footprint to the benefit of productivity and ultimately the cost ratio. Year-to-date the fulfilment cost ratio decreased to 11.6% (11.9).
The marketing cost ratio was on level with last year at 11.1% (11.0). The company aims to continue a high marketing spend to attract new customers along with further efforts to build Boozt as a household brand in the Nordics via offline marketing efforts. The business continues to be managed based on the core principle of a profitable and sustainable customer acquisition cost (CAC) and customer lifetime value (CLV) with a payback between 16-18 months. Year-to-date the marketing cost ratio decreased to 10.6% (11.0).
The admin & other cost ratio increased to 12.3% (11.3). The increased cost was primarily driven by the weaker Swedish krona impacting part of our cost base. In addition, costs related to share-based payments increased compared to last year. Year-todate the admin & other cost ratio increased to 12.4% (11.7).
The adjusted admin & other cost ratio increased to 11.1% (10.2). Year-to-date the adjusted admin & other cost ratio increased to 11.2% (10.7).
The deprecation cost ratio increased to 3.7% (3.5) in line with expectations. As per January 2023 the latest expansion of our automated warehouse capacity was taken into operation increasing depreciations and we expect to gradually grow into the current excess capacity over the next couple of years. The increase was partly offset by the reassessment of the useful lives of selected parts of the Group's fixed assets that mainly relates to the AutoStore installations (further detail on page 14). Year-to-date the depreciation cost ratio increased to 3.9% (3.6).
Adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 85.6 million (80.9) in the second quarter. The adjusted EBIT margin decreased with 0.1 percentage points to 5.1% (5.2). The improved gross margin and lower fulfilment cost ratio positively impacted the margin, but was offset by increased admin & other costs as well as depreciations cost ratios.
Total adjustments in the quarter amounted to SEK 19.5 million (16.3). Adjustments include share-based payments of SEK 17.3 million. Year-to-date adjustments amounted to SEK 38.9 million (29.8).
Share-based payments fluctuate between periods since the probability of the number of vested options under the program is dynamic, as well as the provision for social charges are determined by the company's share price.
For a reconciliation of adjusted EBIT, please visit the Group's website www.booztgroup.com/reports-and-presentations, "Q2 Report 2023" – "Key financials".
EBIT improved to SEK 66.1 million (64.6) in the second quarter, while the EBIT margin decreased 0.3 percentage points to 3.9% (4.2).
Negatively impacting EBIT compared to adjusted EBIT in the period was a cost of SEK 19.5 million mainly relating to sharebased payments.
Year-to-date EBIT increased to SEK 63.6 million (59.9), while the EBIT margin was on level at 2.0% (2.0%).
The Group's financial income amounted to SEK 5.5 million (0.0). Financial costs amounted to SEK -10.4 million (-5.4). The financial costs were driven by interest on new loans for financing the expansion of AutoStore at the fulfilment centre and recent interest rate hikes, however, offset by the positive interest on our cash position. Net financial items amounted to SEK -4.9 million (-5.4). Net financial costs year-to-date was SEK -8.2 million (-9.5).
Tax for the period amounted to SEK 4.8 million (-13.1). The Group's effective tax rate for the period was -7.9% (22.2). Year-to-date, the income tax amounted to SEK 5.7 (-11.9), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 23.6 % (21.3). Tax for the period and year-to-date is positively impacted with SEK 17.1 million relating to the utilisation of tax losses carried forward.
Earnings for the second quarter totalled SEK 66.1 million (46.1). Earnings per share before dilution amounted to SEK 0.97 (0.68). Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 0.96 (0.68).
Earnings for the first half of the year amounted to SEK 61.1 million (38.5). Earnings per share before dilution amounted to SEK 0.90 (0.57). Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 0.89 (0.57).
The Group realised a net working capital of SEK 775.4 million (592.2) equivalent to 11.2% (9.6) of the net revenue for the last twelve months. After the slow start of the spring summer season 2023, which was impacted by cold weather conditions in the Nordics during the full first quarter has since then proceeded according to plan. Sell-through of the seasonal goods is ahead of last year at the end of the quarter and coming into the third quarter. The Group's inventory position is attractive and healthy as the Group has a clear focus to gain market share by offering competitive products also in the very tough market environment currently impacting the industry.

The Group's net cash (-) increased to SEK -429.9 million (-422.8). The net debt / net cash excludes leasing liabilities.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased to SEK 901.0 million (1,038.0), driven by the increased inventory position at the end of the quarter.
Lease liabilities (current and non-current) increased compared to last year and amounted to SEK 536.7 million (493.4). The increase is related to additional expansion of square metres at the fulfilment centre and the Group's headquarter, as well as the impact from adjustments to lease contracts according to the Consumer Price Index taking effect from January 1, 2023. The increase was partly offset by repayment of lease liabilities.
Interest-bearing liabilities (current and non-current) have decreased to SEK 471.1 million (615.2). The decrease is positively impacted by repayments of loans to finance the AutoStore expansion.
Non-current assets increased to SEK 2,010.4 million (1,870.9). The increase compared to last year was mainly driven by higher right of use assets and fx impact related to goodwill.
Equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent company increased to SEK 2,620.6 (2,344.7) million.
Cash flow for the period amounted to SEK -66.3 million (-82.2), driven by cash flow from operating activites and lower investments. Year-to-date cash flow amounted to SEK -879.6 million (-527.8).
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 19.2 million (-8.6) in the quarter. While the first quarter was negatively impacted by the slow start of the Spring/Summer season that was regained during the second quarter which impacted the cash flow from operations positively compared to last year.
Compared to last year, the Group entered 2023 with a lower than expected stock position as a positive consequence of the strong sales in the fourth quarter of 2022. In the second quarter, just as in the first quarter the Group has focused on securing additional stock via campaign buys and to ensure both an attractive selection and price points impacting working capital negatively. Year-to-date cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -678.9 million (-150.6).
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -29.3 million (-220.4). As expected, the Group made limited investments in fixed assets as the expansion of automation in the Group's current warehouse was finalised during 2022. Of the SEK -29.3 million, SEK 24.5 million was related to development of the Group's platform. Year-to-date cash flow from investment amounted to SEK -62.8 million (-580.5).
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -56.1 million (146.8) driven by repayment on loans related to the AutoStore installations in the Group's fulfilment operations. Year-to-date cash flow from financing amounted to SEK -137.9 million (203.3).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| CO₂e intensity per order (kg) | 0.37 | 0.37 | 0.44 | 0.43 |
| Share of renewable electricity (%) | 98.1 | 97.9 | 98.2 | 98.1 |
| Share of recycled waste in the Fulfilment Centre (%) | 75.0 | 58.2 | 73.4 | 60.0 |

The CO₂e intensity per order is calculated by dividing the emissions of deliveries and returns (category Scope 3 Upstream transportation and distribution emissions) by the number of orders shipped. Emissions are reported in Well-to-Wheel (WtW). The reported value covers 98% of the order volume in Q2 2023 (Q2 2022: 96%).
The Share of renewable electricity is calculated by dividing the total renewable electricity consumption by the total electricity consumption. Renewable electricity is powered by hydropower, solar energy and wind. In Q2 2023, the solar panels installed on the roof of the Fulfilment Centre generated a total of 205,602 kWh of electricity.
Share of recycled waste in the Fulfilment Centre (%) The share of recycled waste is calculated by dividing the total recycled waste by the total waste generated. The treatment method for the remaining waste is waste-to-energy (WtE) in certified centres in Sweden, close to the Fulfilment Centre. In the second quarter, 271.8 tons were recycled, which is about 75% of the total waste generated (Q2 2022: 58.2%). The increase in the share of recycled waste is due to a higher amount of sorted and recycled plastic packaging and an increase in reused wood.
Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) The Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) measures Employee Engagement at Boozt. The eNPS is calculated by subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters, the final value can range anywhere from -100 to 100. The value is calculated as the average of the quarter.
Aggregated participation rate of the employee survey (%) Calculated as the average of the quarter, the aggregated participation rate demonstrates a significant increase in Q2 2023, reaching 91% compared to 66% in Q2 2022.
• In 2022 Boozt supported Re-Zip in the application process for the funding that was successfully granted and the project started in June. Our focus is on developing a circular bag for our automated Fulfilment Centre, providing a sustainable alternative to singleuse packaging. By showcasing the feasibility and benefits of circular packaging, we contribute to the project's objective of driving the industry's transition towards a cost-effective and sustainable circular economy.
• Higg BRM Foundation pilot project: Boozt together with retailers and brands is supporting the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) on the development of the Brand & Retail Foundation module. The BRM Foundation is an entry-level sustainability assessment that sets the bar to define a minimum level of expectations on corporate responsibility practices for brands and retailers in the textile and footwear industry.
• High employee engagement with an aggregated participation rate of 91% in Boozt's monthly employee survey. The resulting Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) has improved significantly to a score of 61 (Q2 2022: 39).
• For the 12th year in a row, our talented tech community came together for Boozt's annual Platform Conference. With 200 talented Boozt developers and engineers in attendance, spread across our five tech hubs in Malmö, Copenhagen, Vilnius, Poznan, and Aarhus, it's been three days of knowledge sharing, innovation, and networking.
• Boozt has taken a more proactive approach to data collection due to brands not providing this detailed information. Boozt reached out to the most widely used product certifications to ensure validation of the information provided by brands. By implementing more rigorous criteria and pursuing comprehensive sustainability data, Boozt is dedicated to meeting the demands of responsible consumers and ensuring that our product assortment aligns with the highest sustainability standards.
• Higg BRM joint effort: Boozt has nominated and contacted 147 brands representing 68% of our business volume to complete the Higg BRM 2022. At this stage, Boozt onboarded and received the data from 68 brands, equivalent to 45% of Boozt's business volume.
• Boozt has received the highest AAA rating in the MSCI ESG Ratings assessment which places Boozt in the top 6% of its sector. The MSCI ESG Ratings assessment evaluates companies based on their organizational capacity and level of commitment to addressing financially relevant ESG factors. More information about the MSCI rating can be found in the press release here.
• Boozt's sustainability strategy served as a case study for an internal master thesis project in collaboration with Lund University. Boozt has contributed with in-depth interviews.
BOOZT GROUP
INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT Q2 2023
PAGE – 12
Net revenue increased 8.1% to SEK 1,380.6 million (1,276.9) in the quarter. The net revenue growth was positively impacted by currency effects from the strengthening of DKK and EUR to SEK compared to the second quarter last year.
The overall market for fashion and lifestyle products in the Nordics continues to be challenged by the pressure on disposable income. The high promotional activity in the market continued from last year, fuelled by high industry inventory levels and more importantly the muted consumer spending on fashion and lifestyle.
The increase in sales was driven by a solid performance across categories and countries. Return rates increased slightly due to product mix within the segment. Within each product subcategory the return rates remain stable. The number of active customers increased slightly compared with last year, positively impacted by the continued marketing investments to retain and gain new customers.
The average order value continued the positive development and increased 5.0% to SEK 896 (853). The continued execution of the Nordic Department Store strategy resulted in a further diversification of sales benefiting the number of items per basket somewhat offset by a slight increase in return rates in the second quarter. Further, the average order value was positively impacted by currency effects.
True frequency improved to 6.8 (6.6) with cohorts displaying encouraging buying patterns despite the ongoing pressure on consumers' disposable income. Customer satisfaction remained at a high level as shown by a Trustpilot score of 4.5 (4.5) and a Net Promoter Score of 74 (75).
For the first six months net revenue increased 10.1% to SEK 2,659.2 million (2,415.6).
The adjusted EBIT margin continued at a satisfactory level despite inflationary cost pressure that was mainly offset by an improvement in gross margin due to a favourable inventory mix with a higher share of campaign buys.
The adjustment in the quarter amounted to SEK 18.7 million (13.9) and consisted of share-based payments and severance pay related to senior executives.
For the first six months, adjusted EBIT increased to SEK 89.5 million (78.7) with an adjusted EBIT margin of 3.4% (3.3).
EBIT was on par at SEK 49.0 million (49.1) for the quarter. Year-to-date EBIT increased slightly to SEK 54.6 million (53.0).

BOOZT GROUP
INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT Q2 2023
Net revenue increased 11.0% to SEK 306.6 million (276.3) in the quarter. Booztlet's growth opportunities were positively impacted by increased access to campaign goods supporting attractive offers to the customers while maintaining a healthy gross margin. The market continues to be impacted by high promotional activity both from online and offline players as a consequence of elevated inventory levels in the industry. On top, management estimates that the core customer group of Booztlet is likely to have experienced a more significant dilution of their disposable income displayed in the increasing number of customers who, on average, shop less.
Management remains positive that the market for a Nordic fashion outlet is very attractive in terms of growth and profitability also for the short to medium term. The ambition for Booztlet is to deliver higher than average growth for the Group with a healthy profitability. At the moment Booztlet has the organisational capacity to secure the right stock and grow the business meaningfully.
Growth in the Nordics amounted to 5.3% mainly impacted by the performance in Sweden. Rest of Europe experienced a growth of 71.6% to SEK 40.5 million.
The average order value increased meaningfully during the second quarter to SEK 873 (791). The positive developments over the last year are mainly driven by an increased number of items per basket as we have broadened our selection along with positive effects from currency translation.
For the first six months net revenue decreased -1.6% to SEK 552.6 million (561.6).
The adjusted EBIT was positively impacted by an improved gross margin that was slightly offset by an increased cost base. As communicated in the first quarter of 2023 the Group has taken immediate action to improve the negative profitability of Booztlet in the first quarter this year.
The adjustment in the quarter amounted to SEK 0.9 million (2.4) and consisted fully of share-based payments.
For the first six months, adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 13.1 million (11.1) with an improved adjusted EBIT margin of 2.4% (2.0).
EBIT improved compared to last year at SEK 17.1 million (15.6) and the EBIT margin was 5.6% (5.6). Year-to-date EBIT increased to SEK 9.1 million (7.0) and the EBIT margin increased to 1.6% (1.2).

BOOZT GROUP
INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT Q2 2023
Number of employees was 1,269 (1,464) at the end of the period equivalent to a decrease of 13.3 % impacted by the right-sizing of the organisation carried out with effect from July 1, 2022 as well as an increased use of consultants at the warehouse to ensure flexibility of the workforce.
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.

The Group expects a net revenue growth for 2023 in the range of 7.5-12.5% (5-15%) and an adjusted EBIT between SEK 300-350 million (SEK 275-375 million).
The Adjusted EBIT outlook for 2023 is positively impacted by a reassessment of the useful lives of selected parts of the Group's fixed assets that mainly relates to the AutoStore installations. The reassessment is carried out to better reflect the actual useful life on a component level based on the experience obtained after operating our AutoStore setup for the past six years. In addition, we have performed a benchmark for companies operating similar setups.
The conclusion based on our own experience in combination with the benchmark is that the AutoStore components have a longer useful life than what our assessment previously reflected. By extending the useful lives, the Group assesses a higher degree of comparability of EBIT towards industry peers. In conclusion, the positive impact on yearly depreciation on a like-for-like basis is in the level SEK 25 million, compared to 2022.
The priority is a continued high investment in growth as well as a further strengthening of the customer experience, while maintaining solid profitability driven by a sustainable high average order value and further cementing the position as the leading Nordic Department Store.
The outlook for 2023 assumes that the exchange rates will remain at the current level.
In connection with the Capital Markets Day on March 28, 2023 the group announced new long-term ambitions for growth and profitability.
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.
The company expects that when the Group's growth rate is in line with the general online fashion and lifestyle market growth in the Nordics, that its business model with best-in-industry unit economics will result in double-digit margins and strong cash generation.

The report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish annual Accounts Act. Information required by IAS 34 p.16 A is provided in notes and other sections in the interim report. The accounting principles and calculations method have remained unchanged from those applied in the 2022 Annual Report. Amended or new standards taking effect from January 1, 2023 have not had any material impact on the Group's financial reports for the period.
The Group has carried out a reassessment of the useful lives of selected parts of the Group's fixed assets that mainly relates to the AutoStore installations. The reassessment is carried out to better reflect the actual useful life on a component level based on the experience obtained after operating our AutoStore setup for the past six years. In addition, we have performed a benchmark for companies operating similar setups.
By extending the useful lives, the Group assesses a higher degree of comparability of EBIT towards industry peers. In conclusion, the positive impact on yearly depreciation on a like-for-like basis is in the level SEK 25 million, compared to 2022. The impact for the second quarter of 2023 is SEK 6.25 million and SEK 12.5 million for the first half year of 2023.
Preparation of the financial reports in accordance with IFRS requires management to make assessments and estimates and assumptions that affect application of the accounting policies and the recognised amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated. Changes in estimates are recognised in the period the change is made if the change only affected that period or in the period the change is made and in future periods if the change affects both current and future periods.
Important estimates and assessments are disclosed in the 2022 Annual Report on page 95.
For the Parent Company Boozt AB (publ), the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The reporting currency is SEK and all figures in the interim report are rounded to the nearest million with one decimal point.

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.
