Variable costs refers, in addition to cost of goods sold, to variable sales and distribution costs. These include direct marketing costs as well as other direct costs and correlates essentially with net revenue. Other direct costs mainly consist of freight, invoicing and packaging.

³ Operating profit (EBIT) includes depreciation and amortisation. Amortisation attributable to business acquisitions¹ were SEK 1.5 million during the last twelve months and financial year.

"The second quarter was stable, despite challenges from the pandemic. Our KPI's developed well, while net revenue in local currencies decreased by 1 percent. This is primarily due to last year's exceptionally strong second quarter with a growth of almost 40 percent, clearly driven by Covid-19 related effects. Compared to two years ago, Q2 2019, the average growth (CAGR) in local currencies was 17 percent. Adjusted EBIT during the second quarter was SEK 32 million, equivalent to an adjusted EBIT margin of 7.0 percent. This was SEK 13 million lower than in the previous year. However, we estimate that EBIT during last year's Q2 was positively impacted by pandemic effects exceeding SEK 15 million, primarily due to the high level of sales. The pandemic's impact on customer behavior, together with continued stock availability shortages and delivery disruptions, as well as increased shipping and raw materials prices, imply that it continues to be challenging to navigate in the short term."

This is a translation of the Swedish original of Pierce Group's interim report for the period 1 January – 30 June 2021. In the event of any discrepancies between the two versions, the original Swedish version shall apply.

Stable second quarter, despite challenges

We are following our long-term plan to strengthen our leading position in the European online market for motorcycle equipment. During the second quarter, our KPI's developed well, while net revenue in local currencies decreased by 1 percent, primarily due to a challenging comparative quarter. Last year's second quarter was exceptionally strong, with a growth in net revenue of almost 40 percent, clearly driven by Covid-19 related effects. During the first half year 2021, our growth in local currencies was 9 percent. If we extend the perspective and compare Q2 in the current year with the equivalent quarter in 2019, average growth (CAGR) in local currencies was 17 percent. Corresponding average growth during the first quarter was 19 percent. During June, growth in local currencies was positive.

The second quarter comprised several challenges. Higher global market prices for container shipping increased the cost of goods from March. We have also continued to experience stock availability shortages in both our private and external brands due to global supply chain disruptions. Moreover, the online customer behavior changed compared with Q2 last year. A lower degree of browsing for various options was replaced by a more targeted shopping pattern. This decreased the traffic but was almost fully compensated by an increased conversion rate.

In this challenging environment, we have focused, through increased campaigns, pricing, and marketing activities, together with supplier negotiations, on maintaining a good margin after variable costs. Sales of private brands grew by a couple of percent, which implies that their share of total sales increased and somewhat positively impacted the gross margin.

Adjusted EBIT during the second quarter was SEK 32 million, equivalent to an adjusted EBIT margin of 7.0 percent. This was SEK 13 million lower than previous year. However, as previously explained, we estimate that EBIT during last year's Q2 was positively impacted by pandemic effects exceeding SEK 15 million, primarily thanks to the extraordinary high level of sales.

In the Offroad segment, net revenue decreased in the second quarter by approximately 3 percent in local currencies. For the first half year, growth was approximately 9 percent in local currencies, with a margin after variable costs which increased just below one percentage point compared with the first half year last year.

Within the segment Onroad, net revenue grew by about 2 percent in local currencies. In the first half year, growth was approximately 10 percent in local currencies, with a margin after variable costs which increased just over one percentage point compared with the first half of 2020. We have continued the work with strengthening the Onroad assortment. Amongst other things, we have signed agreements with Dainese and AGV, two leading global brands within motorcycle gear, and we now look forward to deliver an even stronger customer offering. We also launched 'Course Vento', this year's collection of motorcycle jackets and gloves under our private brand, Course.

In addition, net result developed positively as an effect of the refinancing we undertook in conjunction with the listing, as interest expenses decreased.

Positive KPI development

Our KPI's developed well during the second quarter. Our online-community, where we engage daily with motocross, enduro and street riders all over Europe, has surpassed the 1.5 million followers mark – a true milestone!

Customer satisfaction, which we measure through Trustpilot and where, in June, we exceeded 100,000 customer reviews, was at 4.2/5. Amongst other things, we see a notable decrease in customer contacts compared with last year due to both a higher quality in the processes involved and since we offer several self-service solutions which are appreciated by the customers.

The number of active customers was 1,141,000, an increase of 13 percent compared with Q2 2020. The average order value (AOV) increased to SEK 944. Most notable is the increase within Onroad, thanks to a better assortment and less clearance activities.

Continued uncertainty in the near future

There is a large market of motorcycle riders all over Europe longing to get back on the tracks and roads again when the countries open up after the pandemic, and we continue to feel confident with the underlying growth in the online market, as well as the long-term trend. The pandemic's impact on customer behavior, together with continued stock availability shortages and delivery disruptions, as well as increased shipping and raw materials prices, imply that it continues to be challenging in the short-term.

As always, we must focus on what we can control, the customer offering and our scalability. These are two key factors in delivering profitable growth. We strive constantly to become the customer's first choice through adjusting and sharpening the offering with the right assortment, price, and delivery terms. Our ongoing initiatives to improve our processes and systems has resulted in good improvements while there still is a great deal to be done. There is clear potential for us to further strengthen, over time, our economies of scale and customer experience.

We are now intensely planning for the upcoming campaign season starting with Black Friday in November. Given the uncertain situation with the supply chain, we are working with extra safety margin and plan to build up our inventory during the next couple of months to ensure that we have a strong customer offering well in advance of the campaign season.

Finally, I wish to thank all employees for all their hard work to date and look forward to meeting up again, face-to-face, when Europe opens after the pandemic.

(Figures in parentheses refer to the equivalent period last year)

April – June 2021

Net revenue

Net revenue decreased by 5 percent to SEK 451 (472) million and was impacted by a strengthened SEK against EUR. The decrease in local currencies was 1 percent. In the previous year, net revenue was clearly positively impacted by Covid-19 related effects. Compared with the same quarter in 2019, average growth (CAGR) in local currencies was 17 percent. The equivalent growth during the first quarter was 19 percent.

Net revenue within Offroad and Onroad decreased by 7 and 1 percent, respectively. Average growth (CAGR) since Q2 2019 within Offroad was 17 percent and within Onroad, 13 percent. During the first quarter, the equivalent growth in Offroad, respective Onroad, was 22, respective, 10 percent.

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit amounted to SEK 209 (216) million, equivalent to a gross margin of 46.3 (45.8) percent.

During the second quarter, the gross margin was positively impacted by a lower share of price-reduced sales and a higher share of net revenue from private brands. In addition, it was deemed that improvements in the Company's processes for pricing had a positive effect on the margin.

The above positive effects on the gross margin were offset by increased shipping costs from Asia, related to the global shortage of containers. Total shipping costs to the distribution warehouse in Poland amounted to SEK 20 (12) million which reduced the gross margin by 1.9 percentage points compared with the second quarter 2020.

The gross margin is assessed to continuously have benefited from the weakening of USD against EUR from the third quarter 2020. This, as the Company only has outflows in USD for purchase of goods. Furthermore, exchange rate differences arising from revaluation of net working capital items impacted gross profit by SEK 0 (5) million. The abovementioned exchange rate-related changes are assessed to be of the same amount as in previous year.

Operating costs

Sales and distribution costs amounted to SEK -138 (-135) million and include, primarily, variable costs for marketing and shipping to end customer. In relation to net revenue, these costs totaled 30.6 (28.6) percent. The increase was explained by, amongst other things, somewhat higher costs for performance marketing and the distribution warehouse in Poland, whose costs were unusually low previous year.

Administration costs were SEK -40 (-37) million.

Adjusted EBIT and EBIT

Adjusted operating profit (EBIT) was SEK 32 (44) million, equivalent to a margin of 7.0 (9.4) percent.

All in all, it is deemed that adjusted operating profit (EBIT) during the second quarter 2020 was positively affected by Covid-19 related effects by more than SEK 15 million, primarily related to the high net revenue growth. Excluding Covid-19 related effects, adjusted operating profit (EBIT) current quarter is assessed to have been aligned with last year.

In addition, the increased shipping costs from Asia impacted the earnings trend. The improvement in adjusted operating profit (EBIT), excluding the above-mentioned effects, was explained primarily by the assessed underlying sales growth.

The change in margin was attributable to the net of an increased gross margin, higher costs for marketing, and increased overhead costs, in relation to net revenue. The latter was primarily due to the fact that net revenue during the second quarter 2020 was clearly positively impacted by Covid-19 related effects.

Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 31 (43) million. The change compared with the previous year was not significantly affected by exchange rate effects.

Financial items

Financial items amounted to SEK -5 (-21) million, of which SEK -1 (-5) million referred to exchange rate differences related to revaluation of financial balance sheet items.

Other financial items, of SEK -4 (-16) million referred, in all significance to interest expenses on external financing. These decreased as the Company's borrowing, directly after the listing, was reduced and replaced by a credit facility with a significantly lower interest rate than with the previous loans. Interest expenses regarding previous financing structure, bond and shareholder loans, totaled SEK -2 (-12) million during the period.

Taxes

Tax expenses totaled SEK -4 (-6) million and result for the period was SEK 21 (16) million.

January – June 2021

Net revenue

Net revenue increased by 5 percent to SEK 820 (780) million. In local currencies, growth was 9 percent. Growth within Offroad, respective Onroad, was 4 and 6 percent, respectively. The first half year 2020 was positively impacted by Covid-19 related effects. Compared with the first half year 2019, average growth (CAGR) in local currencies was 18 percent.

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit amounted to SEK 385 (354) million, equivalent to gross margin of 47.0 (45.4) percent.

The gross margin is deemed to have been positively impacted by exchange rate effects related to the weakened USD against EUR starting from the third quarter 2020.This, as the Company only has outflows in USD related to purchase of goods. A lower share of price-reduced sales and a higher share of net revenue from private brands has also positively impacted the gross margin compared with the first half year 2020. Moreover, the improved processes for pricing are considered to have helped boost the margin.

The above positive effects on the gross margin were offset by increased shipping costs from Asia related to the global shortage of containers. These effects impacted the first quarter marginally, but total shipping costs amounted to SEK 20 (12) million during the second quarter. Moreover, exchange rate differences referring to revaluation of working capital items impacted gross profit by SEK -4 (0) million.

Operating costs

Sales and distribution costs amounted to SEK -258 (-238) million, equivalent to 31.5 (30.5) percent in relation to net revenue. This increase was explained by, amongst other, a somewhat higher level of costs for performance marketing, and the distribution warehouse in Poland, where the costs were unusually low last year.

Administration costs were SEK -86 (-71) million. Excluding items affecting comparability, administration costs amounted to SEK -78 (-71) million. The increase mainly referred to investments within sales and marketing, product development and IT.

1 Alternative performance measures (APM), see pages 21 - 26 for definitions and purpose of these measurements.

Adjusted EBIT and EBIT

Adjusted operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 50 (46) million, equivalent to a margin of 6.1 (5.9) percent. All in all, it is deemed that operating profit (EBIT) was positively affected during the second quarter 2020 by Covid-19 related effects exceeding SEK 15 million.

Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 38 (45) million and was during the first quarter negatively affected by significant non-recurring expenses related to the Company's listing in March 2021. The change compared to last year is considered to not have been significantly impacted by exchange rate effects.

Financial items

Financial items amounted to SEK -19 (-36) million, of which SEK 2 (-10) million referred to exchange rate differences related to revaluation of financial balance sheet items. In addition, financial items included SEK -8 (-) million referring to early redemption of bond loan, which, amongst other things, included previously capitalised arrangement fees of SEK -5 million.

Other financial items of SEK -13 (-27) million referred primarily to interest expenses on bond and shareholder loans. The decrease compared with previous year was explained by the repayment of the previous financing structure at the beginning of the second quarter, which was replaced by a credit facility totalling SEK 300 million.

Taxes

Tax income (costs) amounted to SEK 3 (-6) million and the net result for the period was SEK 22 (2) million.

The tax income of SEK 3 million referred to tax income of SEK 7 million and tax expenses of SEK -4 million. The first of these referred primarily to deferred tax receivables on previous years' non-deductible interest expenses. These expenses are deemed to be able to be treated as deductible costs in future income tax returns. The changed assessment is based on significantly lower expected interest expenses due to the new financing structure implemented shortly after the stock exchange listing.

Adjusted EBIT¹ and adjusted EBIT (%)¹, last twelve months

(Figures in parentheses refer to the equivalent period last year)

April – June 2021

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 7 (130) million. The difference compared with the same period in 2020 referred mainly to changes in net working capital, SEK -30 (78) million, and by operating profit (EBIT) that amounted to SEK 31 (43) million.

Net working capital changes in 2020 were primarily due to high sales levels during the second quarter, which resulted in lower inventory levels and increased operating liabilities. During the current quarter, changes in net working capital are explained primarily by increased inventory, with operating liabilities at the same levels as last year. Changes in net working capital were negatively affected in the current quarter by SEK 15 million in suppliers' payments attributable to the stock exchange listing. Excluding the listing expenses, changes in net working capital therefore were SEK -15 million.

Cash flow from investments amounted to SEK 6 (-6) million, of which repaid blocked funds totaled SEK 14 (-) million. Investments, of SEK -7 (-6) million, referred mainly to development of internal systems and purchase of equipment for the distribution warehouse.

Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -421 (-6) million and was explained primarily by repayment of previous financing structure and changes in utilised credit facility.

Cash flow for the period was SEK -407 (119) million and cash and cash equivalents totaled SEK 27 (194) million at the end of the reporting period.

Net working capital at the end of the period was SEK 152 (110) million and increased mainly due to increased inventory while operating liabilities were on the same levels as 2020.

Right-of-use assets decreased by SEK 22 million to SEK 73 million, compared with the same point in time last year, primarily due to depreciation for the period. Leasing liabilities decreased in total by SEK 21 million to SEK 80 million.

Net debt, excluding IFRS 16, amounted to SEK 55 (187) million at the end of the period. The reduction, since the end of the same period last year of SEK 132 million, was explained

Cash flow from investments totaled SEK 0 (-18) million, of which repaid blocked funds amounted to SEK 14 (-) million. Investments, SEK -14 (-18) million, referred primarily to internal systems and purchase of equipment for the distribution warehouse. Last year, investments in the new e-commerce platform were included in this amount. The platform was completed during the second quarter 2020.

Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -80 (-9) million, primarily attributable to repayment of previous financing structure, proceeds received from the new share issue in conjunction with the listing and utilised credit facility.

Cash flow during the interim period was SEK -62 (86) million. Including exchange rate differences, which totaled SEK 2 (-3) million, cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 27 (194) million.

As shown below, operating cash flow during the last twelve months amounted to SEK 30 (108) million. The decrease compared with the high levels previous four quarters was primarily attributable to the second quarter 2020 when there was a major reduction in net working capital, clearly impacted by Covid-19 related effects. In addition, the last twelve month period was affected by payments of SEK 20 million related to the stock exchange listing.

April – June 2021

Net revenue decreased by 7 percent to SEK 267 (286) million compared with the equivalent period last year, as net revenue in Q2 2020 were clearly positively impacted by Covid-19 related effects. The decrease in the Nordics and outside the Nordics was 2, respective 8, percent. The larger decrease outside the Nordics was primarily driven by a continued strengthened SEK against EUR. The challenges regarding stock availability shortages negatively impacted net revenue during the quarter.

Profit after variable costs amounted to SEK 69 (73) million, which was equivalent to a margin of 26.0 (25.6) percent. The margin improvement was positively impacted by a higher share of net revenue from private brands and an assessed positive exchange rate effect. These improvements were partially offset by increased shipping costs from Asia, connected to the global shortage of containers and increased variable costs for performance marketing.

January – June 2021

Net revenue increased by 4 percent to SEK 488 (469) million compared with previous year when net revenue was positively impacted by Covid-19 related effects.

Profit after variable costs amounted to SEK 130 (122) million, equivalent to a margin of 26.6 (25.9) percent. This increase is deemed to have been positively impacted by exchange rate effects and a higher share of net revenue from private brands. This was partially offset by increased shipping costs from Asia and increased variable costs for performance marketing.

April – June 2021

January – June 2021

Net revenue decreased by 1 percent to SEK 173 (174) million compared with the same period last year, as net revenue was clearly positively impacted by Covid-19 related effects. Growth in the Nordics and outside the Nordics was 10 and -11 percent respectively. The decrease outside the Nordics was partially driven by a continued strengthened SEK against EUR. The increased average order value was primarily due to a better assortment and fewer price-reduced sales.

Profit after variable costs amounted to SEK 31 (30) million, equivalent to a margin of 18.0 (17.5) percent. The margin improvement referred mainly to fewer price-reduced sales, an assessed positive exchange rate effect and lower shipping costs associated with the increased average order value. This was partially offset by increased shipping costs from Asia related to the global shortage of containers and to increased variable costs for performance marketing.

Net revenue increased by 6 percent compared with previous year to SEK 274 (258) million. Compared with Offroad, the Onroad segment was deemed to have been less positively impacted by Covid-19 related effects last year. Profit after variable costs amounted to SEK 49 (42) million, equivalent to a margin of 17.7 (16.3) percent. The margin improvement was primarily explained by a lower share of price-reduced sales and positive exchange rate effects, as well as lower shipping costs due to the increased average order value. This was offset to some degree by increased shipping costs from Asia and increased variable costs for performance marketing.

April – June 2021

Net revenue decreased by 10 percent to SEK 11 (12) million compared with the same period last year. The quarter was affected by availability issues related to the rich levels of snow during the winter which led to a high demand during the first quarter.

The segment has its largest activity during the first and fourth quarters as the operation are, in all significant aspects, focused on the sales to snowmobile riders

The margin after variable costs was positively impacted by fewer reduced-price sales compared with the snow-poor winter of 2020.

January – June 2021

Net revenue increased by 7 percent to SEK 58 (54) million compared with the previous year.

The margin after variable costs was positively impacted by fewer reduced-price sales compared with the snow-poor winter of 2020.

At an extraordinary general meeting on 20 January 2021, a resolution was adopted regarding a division of Pierce Group AB's (publ) shares, a so-called share split with a 300:1 ratio. In conjunction with the change of company form from private to public company, it was resolved to increase the share capital through a bonus issue of SEK 0.5 million.

The Pierce share was listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm Mid Cap on 26 March and trades under the ticker symbol PIERCE with ISIN code SE0015658364. In conjunction with the listing, a total of 5,468,750 shares were issued.

On 6 April 2021, 534,600 shares were registered through a new share issue based on the exercise of warrants from LTIP 2020/2025. The number of registered shares, and votes, as of 30 June 2021 amounted to 39,687,050, equivalent to a quota value of SEK 0.02.

The share price at listing was SEK 64.0, and was SEK 80.6 on the last trading day of the period. Number of shareholders was 1,442, of which the largest were Procuritas (33.3%), Daniel Petersen via company (7.0%), Stefan Rönn via company (7.0%), Handelsbanken Fonder (6.7%), and Fjärde AP-fonden (AP4) (4.0%).

The Company has launched warrant programs, long term incentive programs — LTIP, (right to acquire shares according to certain terms and conditions). See additional information provided below.

LTIP 2020/2025

During 2020, a warrant program was launched for the CEO. The CEO subscribed to 1,782 warrants at market value, calculated using the Black & Scholes model. The subscription period ran from 30 January 2025 to 13 February 2025, alternatively earlier in the case of an ownership change.

In connection with the listing in March 2021, all warrants were exercised, whereby 534,600 shares1 were subscribed at a subscription price of SEK 24.8. The new share issue was registered in April which contributed SEK 10,692 in share capital to Pierce Group.

LTIP 2021/2024

LTIP 2021/2024 was issued in March 2021 as part of an incentive program for certain senior executives and key employees of the Group. The program comprises 376,443 warrants, all warrants were subscribed as of 31 March 2021. Each warrant grants the right to subscribe one (1) ordinary share in the Company. The warrants were subscribed at market value, calculated using the Black & Scholes model, equivalent to SEK 4 million.

The warrants can be exercised from the date after publication of the interim report for the period 1 January to 31 mars 2024, however not earlier than 1 April 2024, up to and including 31 August 2024, at a pre-determined share price of SEK 73.6. With full subscription of the warrants, the Company's share capital can increase with a maximum of SEK 7,528.9, based on the current quota value.

The Company has reserved the right to repurchase warrants if, amongst other circumstances, the Participant's employment with the Company is terminated.

No significant events have taken place after the end of the reporting period.

In all material aspects, net revenue and the sum of total costs and investments are equivalent to payments received and payments made. During the last twelve months, EUR, SEK and NOK accounted for 57, 16 and 10 percent respectively of total payments received. Of payments made, EUR, SEK, USD and PLN amounted to 46, 25, 14 and 9 percent respectively. To reduce exposure to significant exchange rate fluctuations, the Group purchases, since 2020, currency derivatives for certain selected currencies, including EUR and USD.

Furthermore, operating assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are revalued at the end of each month. This revaluation relates primarily to operating liabilities including trade payables. Exchange rate fluctuations arising from revaluations of operating balance sheet items are reported net, primarily as a part of the cost of goods sold.

If leasing agreements have been signed in a currency other than the functional currency of each Group company, the leasing liability is revalued at each month-end close. These revaluation effects, as well as the revaluation of financial balance sheet items, are reported in financial net.

From 1 January 2021, the subsidiary Pierce AB has EUR as its functional currency. The background to this is the successively increased operations outside the Nordics which means that the subsidiary's operating assets and liabilities, as well as its purchases and sales, are, primarily, in currencies other than SEK. The currency having the single largest impact on the underlying transactions is EUR. With the change of functional currency from SEK to EUR in the subsidiary, exchange rate effects will have a more limited effect on the Group's financial reporting. However, upon consolidation of the subsidiary, the translation exposure of the profit and loss and net assets from EUR to SEK will increase and affect other comprehensive income. See Note 8 for a description of the effects on the Group's reporting and key ratios as a result of the change.

The average number of employees during the second quarter was 457 (400). Of these, 159 (130) worked at the distribution warehouse in Poland, and 297 (271) were white-collar workers in Sweden, Poland and Spain.

As "Black Week" and Christmas occur in the fourth quarter, this quarter most often shows the highest net revenue, while the first quarter often shows the lowest. Together, these two quarters account for about 50 percent of annual sales.

1 Number of warrants adjusted for the 300:1 share split that took place in January 2021.

Pierce Group AB (publ), Corporate ID No. 556967-4392, is the Parent Company in the Pierce Group, and is a public company registered in Sweden. Since 26 March 2021, Pierce Group AB (publ) is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm Mid Cap.

The Parent Company undertakes no business activities and is comprised of owning and managing the subsidiaries.

Net revenue during the second quarter amounted to SEK 3 (2) million and during the interim period to SEK 7 (5) million and was fully attributable to sales to Group companies. Financial net mainly comprised of interest expenses regarding bond and shareholder loans up until April in the current year when the previous financing structure was repaid. Profit/loss before tax during the quarter amounted to SEK -1 (-6) million and during the interim period to SEK -21 (-10) million.

The Parent Company's equity at the end of the period was SEK 392 (71) million. This change was mainly attributable to the new share issue which took place in March 2021 in conjunction with the listing of the Company.

The CEO and CFO are employed in the Parent Company.

The Group's operations and results are affected by several external factors. The Pierce Group is primarily exposed to operational risks which are largely comprised of competition and market developments in local markets, quality of delivered goods mainly from Asia, inventory and product assortment risks, IT-related risks, and dependency on key individuals. A more detailed description of risks and risk management can be found in Pierce's Annual Report for 2020 and in the Company's listing prospectus.

Covid-19 has primarily affected the Group indirectly via the pandemic's effects on the macroeconomic development in the markets in which Pierce operates. Some of Pierce's main markets have been affected due to strict quarantine restrictions that have applied at certain times, and which affect the possibility of motorbike riding.

During the second quarter 2020, the Company's sales growth, which totaled 39 percent, was clearly positively impacted by Covid 19-related closing of physical stores with offerings similar to Pierce's. This took place in combination with the Company's internal decisions to drive short-term sales volume. During the third quarter 2020, net revenue was impacted somewhat negatively because of stock availability shortages due to the unexpected high level of net revenue experienced during the second quarter, and Covid-19 related production problems in supply chains.

During 2021, the Covid-19 pandemic have impacted operations through certain stock availability shortages in the market and delivery delays. Shipping costs from Asia have increased due to the global shortage in containers. This has only marginally affected the gross margin during the first quarter but had a negative effect during the second quarter when the sale of these purchases has taken place. This negative impact is expected to continue in the following quarters. Continuous uncertainties exists in the supply chain in the form of shortages of products and delays which challenges the stock availability and purchase prices. The pandemic's effect on customer behaviour and demand constitutes a factor of uncertainty.

At the beginning of the quarter, the Group have received a credit facility from one of the major Swedish banks of SEK 300 million.

The credit facility contains certain financial covenants, stipulating that the Group's leverage ratio 1 may not exceed 3.5 times (3.0 times, during the period within one year from the termination of the facility) and that the Group's interest coverage ratio2 may not be less than 4.0 times. Pierce fulfills the covenant terms associated with the credit facility.

For further information, see Note 7 Pledged assets and contingent liabilities.

During the interim period, costs for consulting fees to Stefan Rönn and Daniel Petersen, founders, and shareholders in Pierce Group via companies, totalling SEK 188 (1,001) thousand were charged against the Group's earnings. All transactions with related parties have been entered into on arms-length terms. For further information regarding related parties, see Note 6.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU. The Group's interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the applicable parts of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Annual Accounts Act, interim reports, and RFR 2 Accounting for legal entities.

For the Group and the Parent Company, the same accounting principles, grounds for calculation and assessments have been applied as applied in the Annual Report for 2020. For a description of the Group's applied accounting principles, see Note 1 and 2 in the Annual Report for 2020.

Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A are shown, in the financial statements and associated Notes in the interim information, in addition to pages 1–12 which form an integral part of this financial report.

All amounts in this report are stated in millions of Swedish kronor (SEKm) unless stated otherwise. Rounding variances may occur.

Information on future standards

The application of a number of new standards and interpretations which will be compulsory from the next financial year have not been applied in the preparation of these financial statements. None of the IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are yet to come into force are expected to have any significant impact on the Group.

The preparation of the interim report requires that the Company's management make assessments and estimates, as well as assumptions, that affect the application of the accounting principles and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. The actual outcome may differ from these estimates.

Pierce offers customers the option to return any unsuitable products for refund or exchange. To assess the size of the provision, several parameters have been used, such as the actual return rate over the last twelve months, as well as the average number of days from sale to return from customers based on the same period last year.

The critical assessments and sources of uncertainty in estimates, including estimates regarding the contingent consideration, see Note 5, are otherwise the same as in the latest Annual Report, page 20.

The Group's revenue consists exclusively of the sale of goods via the Group's websites and a physical store. Revenue is reported at a given point in time as the conditions for control being transferred over time are not met. In addition to the segments, geographical area is also an important attribute when specifying revenue, and this is shown in the table below.

Other direct costs mainly consist of freight, invoicing and packaging. ²Variable costs refers, in addition to cost of goods sold, to variable sales and distribution costs. These include direct marketing costs as well as other direct costs and correlates essentially with net revenue.

³Other expenses in the operation and financial net regards intra-group costs.

The segments' results are followed up by the CEO, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), to Profit after variable costs, in other words gross profit less variable sales and distribution costs. Variable sales and distribution costs refers to direct marketing costs, as well as other direct costs. Other direct costs essentially include costs for freight, invoicing and packaging.

See the section titled "Alternative Performance Measures" for more information.

Pierce sells gear, parts and accessories to riders. The operating segments into which the Group's operations are divided are:

  • Offroad: sales to motocross and enduro riders under the 24MX brand.
  • Onroad: sales to customers who ride motorcycles on highroads. Sales are under the XLMOTO brand.
  • Other: sales to snowmobile riders under the Sledstore brand and sales via a physical store in Stockholm.
  • Intra-group transactions:
    • Intra-group transactions included under Gross profit and, therefore, in Profit after variable costs, refer to revaluation of net working capital items, mainly included in cost of goods sold. These are not allocated to segments.
    • Intra-group costs, after Profit after variable costs, refers to expenses for group-wide functions, such as central administration, which are not allocated to segments.

No information is provided on segment assets or liabilities as no separate segmentation is performed in reporting the consolidated financial position.

Contingent consideration and currency derivatives are the only instruments reported at fair value through profit/loss. Other financial instruments are valued at amortised cost in the statement of financial position and the reported values corresponded in all material respects with the fair value.

The liability regarding the contingent consideration is attributable to level 3 and the currency derivatives to level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, in accordance with IFRS 13.

The valuation of currency derivatives is based on official market data for exchange rates. At the end of the period, fair value amounted to SEK 0 (0) million and these derivatives have been classified as current assets (liabilities).

Applied input for the valuation of level 3 financial liabilities

The valuation of the contingent consideration takes place in two steps; a probability adjustment is assigned to an assumed value in the case of a listing or sale, as well as a date for payment and, then, this probability-adjusted value is discounted to present value based on a discount rate. The contingent consideration has been classified as a current liability since the end of the financial year 2020 and was paid during the second quarter 2021.

Shareholder loans

At the beginning of the second quarter, there were eight loans from shareholders to Pierce Group, of which three were also board members. All shareholder loans have, during the quarter, been fully redeemed, totalling SEK 64 million, of which SEK 3 million referred to capitalised interest expenses.

Contingent consideration

A contingent consideration was agreed upon when Pierce Group acquired the group in which Pierce AB was included. The liability referred to the Company's founders, one of whom is a board member in Pierce Group.

The contingent consideration was paid during the second quarter 2021, after Pierce Group was listed on the stock exchange. See Note 5 for more information.

Other related party transactions

The Group has consulting agreements with Stefan Rönn and Daniel Petersen, founders as well as shareholders in Pierce Group. These agreements relate primarily to advisory services in conjunction with business development and strategic decision-making. These costs amounted to SEK 0 (505) thousand during the quarter, and during the interim period the combined total was SEK 188 (1,001) thousand. In addition, the sale of goods has taken place to the above related parties, these costs amounted to SEK 9 (11) thousand. See Note 30 in the Annual Report for 2020 for more information.

Warrant programs

The Group has warrant programs as part of an incentive program for certain senior executives and key employees of the Group. See page 10 for more information.

All transactions are based on market terms.

¹ The variance between a "Utilised credit facility" in the note and "Liabilities to credit institutions" in the Group's statement of financial position is explained by capitalised loan and interest expenses.

During the current quarter, the previous financing structure was replaced by an SEK 300 million credit facility, of which SEK 84 million had been utilised at the end of the quarter. There is a surety given on the credit facility provided by the Parent Company, Pierce Group AB, in favor of the subsidiary, Pierce AB's, liabilities to credit institutions.

The credit facility includes certain financial covenants, see more information under the "Financial risks" section, page 11.

As of 1 January 2021, the subsidiary Pierce AB changed its functional currency from SEK to EUR, as EUR has become the dominant currency in the Company's transactions and net assets.

Financial measures not defined in accordance with IFRS

Pierce applies financial measurements in its interim reports which are not defined in accordance with IFRS. The Company believes that these measurements provide valuable supplementary information to investors and the Company's management. As not all companies calculate Alternative Performance Measures in the same manner, these measures are not always comparable with measures used by other companies. These financial measurements should, therefore, not be seen to comprise a replacement for measures defined according to IFRS.

Definitions

The interim report contains financial performance measures in accordance with the applied framework for financial reporting, which is based on IFRS. In addition, there are other performance measures and indicators which are used as a supplement to the financial information. These performance measures are applied to provide the Group's stakeholders with financial information for the purpose of analysing the Group's operations and goals. The various performance measures applied which are not defined according to IFRS are described below.
