INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT Q3 2022

PAGE – 5

Group Development

The Nordic Department Store stands strong. We continue to improve the foundation of our business long term with an average order value reaching new heights as customers increasingly shop across our categories.

Income statement and cash flow items are compared with the correspond ing 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 September 30, 2021. The third quarter refers to the period July - September 2022.

Net revenue

Net revenue in the third quarter increased 7.8% to SEK 1,328.1 million (1,232.1). Currency had a positive impact on net revenue growth in the third quarter of 3.7 percentage points and relates to the strengthening of DKK, NOK and EUR compared to the third quarter last year.

Consumer sentiment and rising inflation continued to impact demand during the quarter, however, there was an acceleration in consumer interest towards the end of the quarter as the Autumn/Winter season kicked off resulting in a solid growth during September.

The continued execution of our Nordic Department Store strategy enabled us to gain market share in a challenging environment. Customers are putting more items in the basket on average resulting in a record high average order value and return rates continued to be on par with last year.

Net revenue – geographical split

SEK million Jul 1 - Sep 30, 2022 Jul 1 - Sep 30, 2021 Change Jan 1 - Sep 30, 2022 Jan 1 - Sep 30, 2021 Change
Nordics 1,257.1 1,154.7 8.9% 4,007.6 3,576.2 12.1%
Rest of Europe 71.0 77.3 -8.2% 297.7 269.6 10.4%
Total net revenue 1,328.1 1,232.1 7.8% 4,305.3 3,845.8 11.9%

The net revenue increase was driven by 8.2% growth for Boozt.com and 5.9% for Booztlet.com.

Other revenue (included in net revenue) increased to SEK 51.2 million (47.1) in the third quarter, mainly driven by the continued growth of Boozt Media Partnership and BooztPay. Other revenue is revenue not directly related to product sales, and include income from Boozt Media Partnership, BooztPay as well as breakage from gift cards.

For the first nine months of 2022 net revenue increased 11.9% to SEK 4,305.3 million (3,845.8). Currency had a positive impact on net revenue growth for the first nine months of 3.0 percentage points and relates to the strengthening of DKK, NOK and EUR compared to last year.

Net revenue geographical split

Net revenue in the Nordics increased 8.9% with the strongest performance in Finland and Sweden. Rest of Europe saw a decline in revenue of -8.2%, impacted by lower sales in Germany as a consequence of lower marketing spend.

Gross profit

The gross profit increased 7.0% to SEK 532.3 million (497.7) in the quarter. The gross margin was in line with last year at 40.1% (40.4).

With a continued healthy inventory position the goal has been to strike a balance between growth and profitability.

For the nine months of 2022 gross profit increased 12.3% to SEK 1,733.8 million (1,544.0). The gross margin increased to 40.3% (40.1).

Operational costs

The fulfilment cost ratio came to 11.6% (12.2). During the third quarter productivity increased in the fulfilment operations with several initiatives to improve operations. Further, the shortage of capacity that impacted operations negatively in 2021 and start of 2022 has improved significantly with the continued investments into expansion of our automated capacity. Year-to-date the fulfilment cost ratio increased to 11.8% (11.6). The ratio is expected to decrease over the next few years as we improve utilisation and productivity.

The marketing cost ratio decreased to 11.4% (12.0) with an absolute spend in line with last year. Our 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 increased to 11.1% (10.7).

The admin & other cost ratio decreased to 10.3% (12.0). The ratio was positively impacted by the decision to ensure that the organisation and cost base reflects the current environment and growth opportunities. With effect from July 1, 2022, the company reduced staffing corresponding to a monthly saving of approximately SEK 3 million. The cost of redundancy payments was incurred in June 2022 and amounted to SEK 9.5 million. Part of the savings were earmarked for salary negotiations with existing staff which took effect from September 1, 2022. Year-to-date the admin & other cost ratio increased to 11.3% (11.0). In addition, the ratio was positively affected by the adjustment of share based payments due to the negative development of the share price and a probability assessment of reaching the pre-defined targets in the long-term incentives programmes.

The adjusted admin & other cost ratio increased to 11.0% (10.7) negatively impacted by the adjustment of share based payments due to the negative development of the share price and a probability assessment of reaching the pre-defined targets in the long-term incentives programmes. Year-todate the adjusted admin & other cost ratio increased to 10.8% (9.8).

The deprecation cost ratio increased to 4.2% (3.5) in line with expectations and impacted by the significant investments in 2021 and 2022 to increase our automated fulfilment capacity to support growth and best in class lead time to customers. The ratio is expected to decrease over the next few years as the company gradually grows into the capacity expansion.Year-to-date the depreciation cost ratio increased to 3.8% (3.1).

Adjusted EBIT

Adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 25.5 million (24.3) in the third quarter. The adjusted EBIT margin was in line with last year at 1.9% (2.0). Year-to-date adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 115.2 million (193.1). The adjusted EBIT margin decreased with 2.3 percentage points to 2.7% (5.0). The decrease is related to the significant investments done throughout 2021 to further strengthen organisational capacity and fulfilment automation.

Total adjustments in the quarter amounted to SEK -10.2 million (16.9) and consisted fully of share-based payments. Year-to-date adjustments amounted to SEK 19.7 million (46.5). Adjustments include share-based payments of SEK 5.2 million and an adjustment of SEK 14.5 million for non-recurring items mainly related to the right-sizing of the organisation end of June 2022 to reflect the current environment and growth opportunities.

Share-based payments fluctuate between periods since the probability of the number of vested options or shares 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, "Q3 Report 2022" – "Key financials".

EBIT

EBIT increased to SEK 35.7 million (7.4) in the third quarter, while the EBIT margin increased 2.1 percentage points to 2.7% (0.6). EBIT was positively impacted by improved cost ratios for fulfilment, marketing and admin & other.

Positively impacting EBIT compared to adjusted EBIT in the third quarter was a positive adjustment of SEK 10.2 million for share-based payments.

Year-to-date EBIT decreased to SEK 95.5 million (146.6), while the EBIT margin decreased to 2.2% (3.8%).

Financial items

The Group's financial costs for the period amounted to SEK -5.5 million (-5.6) and are mainly attributable to interests on loan and lease liabilities. The financial costs were driven by interest on new loans for financing of the expansion of AutoStore at the fulfilment centre and recent interest rate hikes. Last year the Group recognised a change in fair value of put option liability to non-controlling interest of SEK -1.9, which the Group doesn't have anymore. Financial costs year-to-date was SEK -14.9 million (-12.5).

Tax

Income tax for the period amounted to SEK -6.0 million (-0.4). The Group's effective tax rate for the period was 20.0% (18.6). Year-to-date, the income tax amounted to SEK -18.0 (-28.6), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 22.3% (21.3).

Earnings for the period

Earnings for the period totaled SEK 24.2 million (1.7). Earnings per share before dilution amounted to SEK 0.36 (-0.04). Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 0.35 (-0.04). Earnings year-to-date amounted to SEK 62.7 million (105.8). Earnings per share before dilution amounted to SEK 0.93 (1.55). Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 0.92 (1.52).

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT Q3 2022

Working capital

The net working capital of the Group amounted to SEK 527.8 million (513.6), equivalent to 8.4% (9.7) of the net revenue for the last twelve months. The inventory position remains healthy and the Spring/Summer 22 sell-through is in line with the previous season. The indelivery of the Autumn/Winter 22 season is slightly behind last year, minorly impacted by global market supply chain disruptions. Last year the inventory position was partly impacted by temporary capacity constraints at the warehouse.

Net debt (+) / net cash (-)

The Group's net cash amounted to SEK -19.9 million (-306.2). The change was driven by the acquisition of Rosemunde and increased loans to finance the expansions of AutoStore at the fulfilment centre.

Cash position

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to SEK 1,042.3 million (1,227.7), driven by cash flow from investing activities, partly offset by cash flow from operating activities.

Lease liabilities

Lease liabilities (current and non-current) increased compared with last year and amounted to SEK 475.4 million (460.7). Repayment of lease liabilities has been offset by new contracts for expanding the fulfilment centre and the Group's headquarter.

Interest-bearing liabilities

Interest-bearing liabilities (current and non-current) increased to SEK 529.0 million (344.2). The increase was attributable to new loans for financing the expansion phases of AutoStore at the Fulfilment Centre.

Non-current assets

Non-current assets increased to SEK 1,858.6 million (1.425.3). The increase compared to last year was mainly driven by AutoStore expansions at the fulfilment centre, which has effectively increased our capacity by more than 40%.

Equity

Equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent company increased to SEK 2,372.2 million (2,072.3). The change was driven by net profit and share-based payments, recognised within equity.

Cash flow

Cash flow for the quarter amounted to SEK -14.4 million (-351.5). Year-to-date cash flow amounted to SEK -541.1 million (-486.9).

Cash flow from operations

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 122.1 million (-81.5), where the Spring/Summer end-of-season campaign and the start of Autumn/Winter season during September contributed positively to changes in working capital. Year-to-date cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -27.4 million (-163.8) as the Group went into last year with a lower than normal stock position compared to this year.

Cash flow from investments

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -32.1 million (-407.1). The main parts of the Groups ongoing AutoStore expansion was capitalised during the second quarter and will be finalised during the fourth quarter. Year-to-date cash flow from investment amounted to SEK -612.6 million (-528.4), driven by the AutoStore investments and the buy-out of the remaining 33.3% of the shares in Rosemunde.

Cash flow from financing

New loans amounted to SEK 0.0 million (169.0), since no investment in the financed part of the current AutoStore expansion was done during the quarter. Loan repayments amounted to -86.2 (-43.4) due to high initial repayment of the recent finalised expansion part of AutoStore. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -104.5 million (137.1) for the quarter. Year-to-date cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 98.8 million (205.3).

Net revenue

Net revenue increased 8.2% to SEK 1,116.1 million (1,031.8) in the quarter. The net revenue growth was positively impacted by currency effects from the strengthening of DKK, NOK and EUR compared to SEK during the third quarter last year.

The number of active customers increased 6.0% compared to last year. Positively affecting net revenue growth was the strong performance in Kids, Beauty and Home. The return rate was on level with last year supported by the continued growth of the adjacent categories and continued improvements to our Fair Use initiative.

Average order value increased 8.1% to a historic high of SEK 872 (807). The continued execution of the Nordic Department Store strategy resulted in a further diversification of sales benefiting the number of items per basket and a structurally lower return rate driven largely by continued efforts with the Fair Use initiative. The average order value was positively impacted by currency effects compared to last year.

True frequency developed positively to 7.0 (6.9) with cohorts displaying encouraging behaviour and similar buying patterns as our historic cohorts. Customer satisfaction remained at a high level as shown by our Trustpilot score of 4.5 (4.5) and our Net Promoter Score of 76 (78).

For the first nine months net revenue increased 9.0% to SEK 3,531.7 million (3,240.2).

Adjusted EBIT and EBIT

Adjusted EBIT decreased to SEK 23.5 million (25.6) in the quarter, while the adjusted EBIT margin decreased to 2.1% (2.5).

The adjustment in the quarter amounted to SEK -8.5 million (14.5) and consisted fully of share-based payments.

The decrease in adjusted EBIT is mainly related to a lower product margin as a consequence of the high promotional activity currently characterising the market.

The cost base developed positively during the quarter supported by a cost saving initiative that was executed at the end of June 2022 to ensure that our organisation and cost base reflects the current environment and growth opportunities.

For the first nine months, adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 102.4 million (163.8) with an adjusted EBIT margin of 2.9% (5.1).

EBIT increased to SEK 32.0 million (11.1) for the quarter and was positively impacted by the negative adjustment of share based payments due to the development of the share price and a probability assessment of reaching the pre-defined targets in the long-term incentives programmes.

Year-to-date EBIT amounted to SEK 85.2 million (123.4).

Net revenue

Net revenue increased 5.9% to SEK 212.0 million (200.3) in the quarter. Booztlet's growth opportunities are negatively impacted in the short term due to high promotional activity in the in-season stores both from online and offline players as a consequence of high inventory levels in the industry. Furthermore, Booztlet played a key role in managing the inventory risk for the Boozt Group in the third quarter successfully selling in-season items keeping the overall inventory of the Group at a healthy level.

The market for a Nordic fashion outlet remains very attractive and the ambition for Booztlet is to continue the high growth trajectory. Booztlet is focusing on gaining access to relevant and enough campaign goods to support continued growth and exploit the potential extra demand from consumers for outlet business with disposable income under pressure from high inflation.

Growth in the Nordics amounted to 8.7% mainly driven by Finland and Sweden. Rest of Europe experienced a decline of 17.7% to SEK 17.7 million impacted by lower sales in Germany as a consequence of initiatives to improve profitability.

Average order value increased significantly with 16.7% during the third quarter and reached SEK 833 (714) driven mainly by an increased number of items per basket.

For the first nine months net revenue increased 27.7% to SEK 773.6 million (605.6).

Adjusted EBIT and EBIT

Adjusted EBIT increased to SEK 1.9 million (-1.3) in the quarter, while the adjusted EBIT margin increased to 0.9% (-0.6).

The increase in adjusted EBIT was driven by the increase in net revenue and improved cost ratios.

The adjustment in the quarter amounted to SEK -1.6 million (2.4) and consisted fully of share-based payments.

For the first nine months, adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 12.9 million (29.3) with an adjusted EBIT margin of 1.7% (4.8).

EBIT increased to SEK 3.5 million (-3.7) for the quarter and the EBIT margin increased to 1.7% (-1.8). Year-todate EBIT decreased to SEK 10.5 million (23.2) and the EBIT margin decreased to 1.4% (3.8).

Appointment of Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee has been formed in accordance with the principles adopted by the Annual General Meeting and has the following composition:

  • Anders Lund (appointed by BLS Capital), chairman of the Nomination Committee
  • Joakim Gjersøe (appointed by Ferd AS)
  • Claus Wiinblad (appointed by ATP)
  • Henrik Theilbjørn, Chairman of the Board of Boozt AB (publ)

Employees

Number of employees was 1,356 (1,101) at the end of the period equivalent to an increase of 23.3%, which is mainly due to further insourcing of warehouse staff decreasing the share of external consultants for the daily operations and staff from acquired operations.

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 net revenue is higher during the second and the fourth quarter, while the net revenue is lower during the first and third quarter. 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.

Parent company

Boozt AB (publ), Corp. Id. No. 556793-5183, is the parent company of the Group. Boozt AB (publ) is incorporated and registered in Sweden.

Since May 31, 2017, Boozt AB (publ) has been listed on Nasdaq Stockholm and since November 20, 2020, secondary listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen. Since January 3, 2022, Boozt AB (publ) has been traded on Nasdaq Large Cap. The address to the head office is Hyllie Boulevard 35, 215 37 Malmö, Sweden.

Net revenue of the parent company amounted to SEK 18.7 million (36.9) during the quarter. Year-to-date the net revenue amounted to SEK 55.9 million (81.9). The parent company has invoiced fees for management services in accordance with the Group's intra-company 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. The result for the quarter totalled SEK -0,1 million (-0.9) and SEK -0.1 million (26.0) year-to-date.

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 2021 on pages 41-43. No additional risk has been identified as of September 30, 2022.

The first nine months of 2022 has been impacted by market and geopolitical developments, such as significant inflationary pressures and the war in Ukraine, that triggered a demand shock and supply chain pressure. To manage this, we have adjusted our cost base and inventory to reflect current consumer demand. Despite the significant challenges brought about by these events, our 2022 risk assessment process indicates no critical risk that might threaten the company overall as a going concern.

Outlook for 2022

The Group expects a net revenue growth for 2022 in the range of 10-15% and an adjusted EBIT between SEK 235-285 million.

The net revenue growth is supported by market share gains, continued online penetration and a stable or improving consumer confidence compared to the historic low during the third quarter of 2022. The current market situation provides a higher likelihood of achieving the lower end of the guidance in terms of net revenue growth.

Outlook remains unchanged from the trading update on June 9, 2022. The outlook for 2022 was adjusted to reflect a deceleration in consumer spending driven by weakening consumer sentiment, external supply chain disruptions and rising inflation which is expected to have a dampening effect on discretionary spending for the remainder of this year with limited visibility and higher uncertainty than normal.

Medium-term financial targets through 2023

In connection with the financial report for Q4 2020, the Board of Directors adopted updated financial targets for the medium term.

NET REVENUE GROWTH The Group targets to outgrow the Nordic online
market significantly to expand market share
ADJUSTED EBIT MARGIN The Group targets an adjusted EBIT margin
between 5-7% during the period

The priority is a continued high investment in growth as well as a continued strengthening of the customer experience, while maintaining a solid adjusted EBIT margin driven by the high average order value and local scale leadership in the Nordics.

Amended or new standards taking effect from January 1, 2022 have not had any material impact on the Group's financial reports for the period.

Important estimates and assessments

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 2021 Annual Report on page 86. Since the Group has utilised the option to acquire the remaining shares in Everyday Luxury Feeling A/S (Rosemunde), the

Group no longer recognise a put-option liability towards non-controlling interest. No other changes have been made to these estimates or assessments which could have a material impact on the interim report.

Review Report

BOOZT AB (PUBL), CORP. ID: 556793-5183

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim report for Boozt AB (publ) for the period January 1 – September 30, 2022. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

Definitions and rationale for the use of certain Alternative Performance Measures (APM)

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, "Q3 Report 2022" – "Key financials".
