CEO Hermann Haraldsson says: "During the first quarter we have managed to strike a delicate balance between growth, high customer satisfaction and profitability. Growth exceeded our expectations with 54% local currency growth and strong profitability with an adjusted EBIT margin of 6%. Customer satisfaction continued to be best-in-class and we attracted new customers and enjoyed a strong contribution from our loyal customer base. On the back of the stronger than expected first quarter, a promising start to the new season and less uncertainty on the development for the rest of the year, we recently upgraded our outlook for 2021". Net revenue growth Between 25-30% Between 20-25% 27.3% Adjusted EBIT margin Above 5.5% Above 5% 6.7%

New outlook as of
Outlook for 2021 April 13, 2021 Prior outlook Realized 2020

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

CEO comment

The start to this year was much less eventful and surprising and luckily so. We did expect the pressure in 2021 would be mostly self-inflicted in contrast to 2020's unexpected developments. Our teams high ambition and joint efforts has resulted in a very strong start to the year with a net revenue growth of 48.5%, adjusted EBIT margin of 6.0% and a recent upgrade of the outlook for 2021. Despite exceeding our internal targets there was a sense of slight disappointment among colleagues that we did not exceed growth of 50%. Initially a strange feeling but taking a moment to reflect I see this as a testament to our strong culture and desire to win.

Performance was convincing across all segments, countries, and categories. Boozt increased net revenue by 40.7% and Booztlet continued the strong growth and managed to double net revenue compared to last year.

Kids, Sport and Home were the fastest growing categories with solid results for Fashion and Beauty also. With the continued diversification of category sales, we see a positive impact on our gross margin.

Denmark, our largest market, delivered the highest net revenue growth in percentages.

During the quarter, the customer base continued to expand along with previous cohorts continuing to show loyalty. What is pleasing is that despite high growth we maintain an industry leading customer satisfaction. I have no doubt that this is our license to operate and pivotal for future growth.

With the clear ambition to significantly outgrow organically the Nordic online market our ability to continuously develop and innovate is put to the test. There is no room for complacency despite a positive development. Fortunately, innovation and business development are close to our hearts and a natural part of our 'care-why' culture.

As I have previously alluded, we have managed to get our house in order with a strong foundation to build on top of. Now, more than ever, we can continue our focus on expanding existing categories along with our journey to develop complementary services for customers and partners to become a true platform business. Booztpay is the latest addition in our quest and recently went live on Boozt.com after a successful trial on Booztlet.

Initiatives that improve customer experience are always welcomed, small and large, and we strive to do this with speed and precision to provide a seamless shopping experience. A few selected improvements from 2021 so far:

  • BooztPay
  • Live shopping
  • Product alternative alternative product browsing for Booztlet based on machine learning
  • Improved back in stock functionality
  • Product launch calendar teaser on future products
  • App animations more native and dynamic user experience.

Our leading position and technology present a unique opportunity to push for a more sustainable industry.

As we want to accelerate our sustainability initiatives further, we have launched our Care-For strategy. This is our roadmap to becoming the leading responsible e-commerce company in the Nordics by 2025.

An important part is to become a B Corp certified e-retailer – joining a global community of companies across industries focused on using their business as a force for good, balancing profit and purpose. This year we are starting the journey with a self-assessment to measure our current score and identify areas that we will need to focus on to become certified. We believe the process of certification and the interaction with the B Corp movement will help us scale our positive impact through the Boozt business model.

For more details I encourage you to take a closer look at our recently published sustainability report at booztgroup.com.

Looking ahead for the remainder of 2021 we are pleased to see a positive start to the new season and despite the continued increased uncertainty, we feel confident that we will be able to cater for our new and existing customers with upfront investments in a stronger inventory and continuous development of selection and seamless user experience.

As much as everyone else, we are eagerly looking forward to the reopening of societies and the opportunity for all of us to socialize.

Gross profit

The gross profit increased with 87.5% to SEK 458.0 million (244.3) during the quarter. The gross margin increased to 40.3% (31.9%).

The significant improvement compared to last year was driven by the extraordinary write-down of previous seasons items of SEK 57.8 million made at the outbreak of the corona pandemic in March 2020. The extraordinary write-down in 2020 was a consequence of the expected subdued demand of fashion for the rest of 2020 and was made on the remaining seasonal stock from the Spring/Summer 2019 and Autumn/Winter 2019 campaigns. Usually, prior seasons goods would have a second chance to sell in line with the Group's write-down principles of writing items down after 12-18 months.

Excluding the effects of the extraordinary write-down in 2020, the gross margin was slightly higher in the period compared to last year with a higher part of seasonal income from inventory risk-sharing agreements with brands received in the first quarter 2021 compared to 2020.

Operating costs

The fulfilment cost ratio decreased to 11.1% (13.4) and was driven by a decrease in overall distribution costs from contractual improvements and optimized allocation between an increased number of distributors. Also, the insourcing of the fulfilment operations and a lower return rate impacted the fulfilment cost ratio positively.

The marketing cost ratio increased to 10.6% (10.3) driven by a continued high marketing spend to attract new customers.

The admin & other cost ratio decreased to 10.1% (10.6).

The adjusted admin & other cost ratio decreased to 9.2% (11.6). The adjustment in the quarter consists of share-based payments for the Group's LTI Programs of SEK -10.4 million (8.5) related to social charges and IFRS 2 costs.

The improved adjusted admin & other cost ratio was primarily driven by overall scale effects and leverage on staff costs and positive currency effects from operations.

The depreciation cost ratio decreased to 3.3% (9.0) since the Group decided to close the Beauty by Boozt store in Copenhagen during the first quarter 2020 and to use an exitclause in the lease contract. The decision to close the store resulted in one-off costs affecting the depreciation costs in the first quarter 2020 of SEK 34.2 million in impairment of the remaining lease asset and a write-down of fixtures and inventory.

The adjusted depreciation cost ratio decreased to 3.3% (4.5). The adjusted depreciation cost for the first quarter 2020 was negatively impacted by SEK 5.5 million due to the revaluation of the Beauty by Boozt lease contract to include an 18-month penalty fee for using the exit-clause.

Adjusted EBIT

Adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 68.7 million (-61.0) in the first quarter. The adjusted EBIT margin increased with 14 percentage points to 6.0% (-8.0), driven by the significantly increased gross margin and overall improvements in the other cost ratios.

Total adjustments in the quarter amounted to SEK 10.4 million (26.9) and consisted of share-based payments of SEK 10.4 million (-8.5). The comparison period was also affected by one-off costs for closure of the Beauty by Boozt store in Copenhagen of total SEK 35.3 million.

Share-based payments fluctuates 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 see page 30.

EBIT

EBIT increased to SEK 58.3 million (-87.8) in the first quarter, while the EBIT margin increased 16.6 percentage points to 5.1% (-11.5).

Negatively impacting EBIT compared to adjusted EBIT in the period was a cost of SEK 10.4 million from share-based payments.

Financial items

The Group's financial costs amounted to SEK -3.5 million (-1.9). The financial items are attributable to interests on loans and lease liabilities.

Tax

Tax costs for the period amounted to SEK -11.9 million compared to SEK 9.8 million in the first quarter last year. Tax for the period consist of a utilization of tax losses carry forward from deferred tax asset of SEK -9.4 million (9.8) and income tax of SEK -2.5 million. The Group has now utilized all its tax losses carry forward from historical tax losses where a deferred tax asset has been reported.

The effective tax rate for the period was 21.7% (10.9), which is in line with the current tax rate for the parent company of 20.6%. The effective tax rate in the comparison period was affected by losses from the Group's danish subsidiaries on which no deferred tax asset was recognised.

Earnings for the period

Earnings for the period totalled SEK 42.9 million (-79.9). Earnings per share before dilution amounted to SEK 0.67 (-1.39). Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 0.64 (-1.39).

Working capital

The Group realised a net working capital of SEK 370.5 million (413.0) equivalent to 7.8% (11.9%) of the net revenue for the last twelve months. The decrease to 7.8% was driven by increased leverage on working capital and a higher inventory turn-over rate, as well as lower returns.

The first quarter has been characterized by intensive stockbuilding activities to support the continued online growth and to prepare for the expected stronger general demand for fashion when the society starts to open-up after the COVID-19 lockdowns. The stock position has increased with 45.4% since March 2020, which was offset by increased accounts payable of 69.5%.

Net debt

The Group's net debt decreased to SEK -761.7 (276.5) due to a higher cash position.

Cash position

Cash and cash equivalents increased to SEK 1,422.2 million (434.1), driven by strong cash flow generation in 2020 along with net proceeds obtained from the issuing of new shares in connection with the dual listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen of SEK 795.0 million in November 2020.

Lease liabilities

Lease liabilities (current and non-current) has increased to SEK 472.5 (374.6) million since the Group took a new warehouse, next to the existing, into operation in December 2020.

Interest-bearing liabilities

Interest-bearing liabilities (current and non-current) has decreased to SEK 188 (336) million since the Group has repaid the revolving credit facility of SEK 200 million utilized in March 2020, which was partly offset by new loans for the expansion of AutoStore at the Fulfilment Centre.

Non-current assets

Non-current assets increased to SEK 882.3 (730.6) million. The increase was driven by the lease asset for the new warehouse and the AutoStore 4 expansion at the fulfilment centre.

Equity

Equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent company increased to SEK 1,958.6 (861.4) million, driven by the capital increase in connection with the dual listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen of SEK 825.6.7 million before deduction of costs related to the share issue of SEK -30.7 million.

Cash flow

Cash flow for the period amounted to SEK -292.6 (94.0) million, driven largely by the build-up of working capital during the period.

Cash flow from operations

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -193.4 million (-6.9) in the quarter. A positive cash flow from operations was driven by improved operating profit but was negatively impacted by cash flow from changes in working capital, which decreased due to a higher stock position from stock-building.

Cash flow from investments

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -42.5 (-16.0) million, driven by the completion of the fourth expansion phase of AutoStore at the fulfilment centre.

Cash flow from financing

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -56.7 (116.9) million. The quarter was negatively impacted by high initial repayment of the new AutoStore loan and repayment of the 18 month penalty fee for executing the exit-clause in the lease agreement for the previous Beauty by Boozt store in Copenhagen.

Net revenue

Net revenue increased with 40.7% to SEK 937.6 million (666.2) in the quarter. The net revenue growth was negatively impacted by currency effects from the weakening DKK and NOK to SEK compared to the first quarter last year.

New customer intake continued at a high pace as an increasing number of people are shopping online which contributed to the strong growth. Positively affecting net revenue growth was lower returns due to a different sales mix with relatively stronger growth in categories outside Women's fashion, which all have a lower return rate. The Home category that was soft launched in the fourth quarter 2020 had a positive impact and exceeded the expectations.

Adjusted EBIT & EBIT

Adjusted EBIT increased to SEK 53.6 million (-57.4) in the quarter, while the adjusted EBIT margin increased to 5.7% (-8.6).

The increased adjusted EBIT margin was driven by a significantly higher gross margin due to the extraordinary write-down of stock in 2020 and overall improvements in the operating cost ratios, especially in the fulfilment ratio.

The adjustment in the quarter amounted to SEK 8.7 (27.8), whereof SEK 8.7 million (-7.5) relates to a negative impact from share-based payments for the Group's LTI Programs, while the comparison figures also include the one-off costs from the closure of the Beauty by Boozt store in Copenhagen.

Net revenue

Net revenue increased with 100% to SEK 199.8 million (99.8) in the quarter. The acceleration in growth was driven by higher awareness of Booztlet.com due to increased exposure both online and offline. The improving trajectory compared to last year was supported by Booztlets expansion into new markets during 2020, driven by Germany and Netherlands.

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.

To illustrate the long-term development trend the Group reports rolling twelve months' figures, where applicable.

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

Explanation APM / IFRS Definition Rationale
Active customers APM Number of customers which made at least one order during
the last 12 months.
The measure is to display, together with historical figures,
how the number of active customers has developed in
absolute figures.
Adjusted admin
& other cost ratio
APM Total operating costs less items affecting comparability, less
share-based compensations, less fulfilment costs, less
marketing costs, less goods for resale less depreciation plus
other operating income divided by net revenue.
The aim of the figure is to demonstrate the development of
administation & other costs without the effect of one-time
events, as well as costs linked to the share price
development of Boozt AB (publ).
Adjusted depreciation cost ratio APM Depreciation cost less items affecting comparability divided
by net revenue.
The aim of the figure is to track the development of
depreciation / amortization costs and then evaluate these
costs against net revenue created, without the effect of
one-time events that affect the comparability.
Adjusted Earnings per share APM Profit/loss for the period, adjusted with share-based
payments and items affecting comparability, divided by
weighted average number of shares outstanding the period.
The aim is to distribute the company's profit to each share
after adjustments.
Adjusted Earnings per share
after dilution
APM Profit/loss for the period, adjusted with share-based
payments and items affecting comparability, divided by the
diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding the
period.
The aim is to distribute the company's profit after
adjustments to each share including the net-non registered
shares (i.e. warrants or similar).
Adjusted EBIT APM Profit/loss before interest, tax, share-based payments related
to employees and items affecting comparability, such as
restructuring costs in connection with the closures of the
Beauty by Boozt stores in Copenhagen, March 2020 and in
Roskilde, June 2019.
The aim of the figure is to display the operating profit
excluding non-recurring items and share based
compensation related to employees and items affecting
comparability are excluded from this metric.
Adjusted EBIT margin APM Adjusted EBIT divided by net revenue. The aim of the figure is to display the Group's effectiveness
in profit creation excluding impact from share price
dependent costs.
Adjusted fulfilment
cost ratio
APM Fulfilment and distribution cost less items affecting
comparability divided by net revenue.
The aim is to group the costs which is related to pick, pack,
return handling, indeliveries and all distribution costs
associated with shipping parcels to and from customers as
well as business to business distribution costs less any cost
items, which might affect the trend being one time by
nature, and then evaluate these costs against net revenue
created.
Adjusted net debt/net cash APM Interest bearing liabilities excluding interest bearing lease
liabilities (IFRS 16) less cash and cash equivalents.
The aim is to display the cash and cash equivalent available
after having theoretical settled all interest-bearing liabilities
be it current or non-current (excluding interest-bearing
lease liabilities).
Admin & Other cost ratio APM Total operating costs less fulfilment costs, less marketing
costs, less goods for resale, less depreciation plus other
operating income divided by net revenue.
The aim of the figure is to demonstrate the development of
admin & other costs and then evaluate these costs against
net revenue created.
Average order value APM Transactional net revenue divided by no. of orders. The aim of the figure is to show the average consumer
monetary value per basket excluding VAT, which again is
very important to determine and understand the unit
economics of each basket of the Group's operation.
BFC APM Boozt Fulfilment Centre. The location of the Group's warehouse.
Conversion rate APM Total number of orders divided by total number of site visits. The aim is to understand how traffic sent to the Group's
websites are converting into monetary orders.
Depreciation cost ratio APM Depreciation and amortizations divided by net revenue. The aim of the figure is to track the development of
depreciation / amortization costs and then evaluate these
costs against net revenue created.
Explanation APM / IFRS Definition Rationale
Equity / asset ratio APM Total equity divided by total assets. To what degree are the Group's assets funded by capital
ultimately owned by the Group's shareholders.
Free Cash flow APM Cash flow from operating activities and Cash flow from
investing activities.
The aim is to show the cash flow generated in the Group
when excluding the cash flow impact from financing
activities.
Fulfilment cost ratio APM Fulfilment and distribution cost divided by net revenue. The aim is to group the costs which is related to pick, pack,
return handling, in deliveries and all distribution costs
associated with shipping parcels to and from customers as
well as business to business distribution costs and then
evaluate these costs against net revenue created.
Gross profit APM Net revenue decreased with cost of goods for resale. The aim is to show the contribution left after cost of goods
for resale, implying the amount of funds available for the
remaining costs and profit.
Gross margin APM Gross profit (excluding other operating income) as a
percentage of net revenue.
The aim is to analyse gross profit over time, expressed as
percent of net revenue.
Growth in local currency APM Growth in net revenue when using exchange rates from the
comparable period
To illustrate the growth adjusted for the impact of exchange
rate effects
Items affecting comparability APM Items that are not related with the operations and are the
type of items that are not expected to re-occur often or
regularly and that are items of significant value.
The aim is to isolate events, that cannot be characterised as
normal operational costs or non-recurring.
Marketing cost ratio APM Marketing cost divided by net revenue. The aim is to group the costs which is related to production,
media airtime, online exposures, analytics concerning
monitoring of sales, CRM activities and then evaluate these
costs against net revenue created.
Net working capital APM Current assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, less
non-interest-bearing current liabilities.
The purpose of displaying net working capital is to display
short-term financial health since the measure indicate if the
company has enough short-term assets to cover its short
term debt. Net working capital can be put in relation to net
revenues to understand efficiency of net working capital
tied up in operations.
Net debt / net cash APM Interest bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents. The aim is to display the cash and cash equivalent available
after having theoretical settled all interest-bearing liabilities
be it current or non-current.
No. of orders APM Number of orders placed by customers during the period,
irrespective of cancellations or returns.
Number of orders is a parameter in measuring the average
order value.
No. of orders per active
customer (order frequency)
APM Number of orders during the last 12 months divided by the
total number of active customers end of period.
This number illustrates the frequency for an isolated cohort
(active customers). It helps the reader in understanding to
what extend the customers are coming back and the
frequency at which they have shopped during the last 12
months, irrespective of whether they have been active from
the start of the 12 months or are new customers who have
been active in less than 12 months.
Site visits APM Number of visits to a site or group of sites, irrespective of
device used.
This number is relevant to understand the conversion rate.
Share based payments APM Costs of the Group which are settled via issuing of shares. The aim is to isolate all costs associated with share-based
payments be it IFRS 2 costs and taxes associated with
share-based payments. Since these costs to a large extend
will fluctuate with the share price development or employee
turnover, it can assist the reader in evaluating the Group's
performance excluding these share-based payment costs.
Transactional net revenue APM Gross sales (incl. shipping and invoice income) less
discounts and returns, excl. VAT.
"The aim of the figure is to display the total consumer value
of the orders processed less returns and excluding VAT.
Transactional net revenue less fee to consignment partners
plus other revenue not related to consumer orders equals
net revenue. The transactional net revenue can be
calculated as average order value (AOV) multiplied with no.
of orders."
True frequency APM Order frequency for customers that have been with
Boozt.com during last 12 months, hence not impacted by
orders from new customers.
This figure isolates the co-hort which purchased with the
Group 12 months ago, and then looks at this co-hort's
behaviour for the proceeding 12 months in terms of
frequency (how many orders do they place on average).
This will give the reader an understanding about the co
horts frequency behaviour once they mature.
