CEO Hermann Haraldsson says: "The softening of the apparel market, especially in Sweden and Denmark, increased over the summer which is reflected in the 19% growth of Boozt.com in the quarter. Booztlet.com however continued the strong trajectory with a 90% growth in the quarter. We are pleased that we were able to execute strongly on our main key performance indicators; Customer satisfaction stays very high, average order value is on par with last year, and the new customer intake is still increasing year over year. Our balance sheet is strong with a healthy inventory, giving us flexibility to respond to the many opportunities that arise in a challenging market."

"After a declining gross margin trend over the last couple of seasons, we have witnessed a slightly increasing gross margin in the beginning of the current Autumn/Winter season compared to last year. This is encouraging. For the quarter, however, the reported gross margin was down due to a different sales mix and an early write down of prior season Boozt.com stock. This stock can achieve a better margin on Booztlet.com during the current season, more than offsetting the negative impact from the write down. Despite the lower gross margin, the adjusted EBIT margin improved driven by scale effects within marketing and administration & other costs."

"In October we made changes to the agreement structure with a large brand partner. We entered into a consignment-like agreement with the brand partner owning the inventory in our warehouse, which has the effect that only our consignment fee will be recorded as revenue. This impacts net revenue negatively, but also improves our net working capital ratio with approximately 1 percentage point. This change together with the fact we are entering more cautiously into the fourth quarter due to softer apparel markets in Denmark and Sweden, leads us to adjust our full year outlook on net revenue growth from previously above 27% to now between 23% and 26%. The outlook for the adjusted EBIT margin is upgraded from previously above 2.3% to now above 2.5% due to operational improvements. These improvements are a small first step in a number of operational improvement initiatives we have identified. These initiatives will play out over the coming years and allow for a continued high investment in growth simultaneously with reaching our mid term EBIT margin target of 6%." Net revenue growth 38.1% Above 27% Between 23-26% Adjusted EBIT margin 2.3% Improved from 2018 Above 2.5%

Group Development

Net revenue

Net revenue in the third quarter increased with 22.3% to SEK 764.1 million (625.0). Currency had a neutral impact on net revenue growth in the quarter.

The net revenue increase was supported by 18.5% growth for Boozt.com and 89.7% growth for Booztlet.com. The structural growth towards online continued in the Nordics, despite the overall apparel market struggling with weaker consumer sentiment in especially Sweden and Denmark.

Other net revenue (included in net revenue) increased to SEK 10.2 million (9.4) in the third quarter driven by higher marketing income compared to the same period last year. Other net revenue increased to SEK 29.7 million (27.4) in the first nine months driven by higher marketing income, partly offset by lower revenue from breakage of gift cards. Breakage from gift cards was re-estimated in the first quarter of 2018 also taking into account breakage revenue from previous years.

Net revenue geographical split

The largest markets Sweden and Denmark grew respectively 16.0% and 11.8%. Both countries were impacted by weaker consumer sentiment. Finland grew 48.1% while Norway grew 29.1%. The increase in Rest of Europe of 67.8% was driven by an increasing consumer appetite towards Nordic fashion brands and an increase in online marketing spending compared to the year-earlier period. There has been no change in the marketing strategy outside the Nordics, as it remains online marketing only.

For the first nine months of 2019 net revenue increased

revenue growth relating to the strengthening of DKK, EUR

Net revenue – geographical split

Gross profit

The gross profit increased with 19.2% to SEK 273.0 million (228.9) during the quarter. The gross margin decreased to 35.6% (36.6%).

The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by a different sales mix with less consignment sales, which have a 100% gross margin, and an early write down of prior season Boozt.com stock, which has subsequently been moved to Booztlet.com. The written down stock can achieve a better margin on Booztlet.com during the current Autumn/Winter season, more than offsetting the negative impact from the write down. The trading gross margin for the quarter improved compared to last year due to higher margin during the first part of the Autumn/Winter season as the season started without the delay experienced last year.

For the first nine months gross profit increased with 21.7% to SEK 907.0 million (745.3). The gross margin decreased to 38.2% (39.4%).

The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by elevated promotional activities to ensure a continuously healthy stock composition in a market affected by high inventory levels. The first quarter was impacted by late start to the autumn/winter 2018 season which continued to impact the market throughout the winter months, while the second quarter was negatively impacted by a late start to the summer in the Nordics compared to last year. The third quarter was negatively impacted by sales mix with less consignment sales and an early write down of prior season Boozt.com stock, which has subsequently been moved to Booztlet.com. This was partly offset by higher gross margin when the Autumn/Winter season started compared to last year.

EBIT

EBIT decreased to SEK -40.8 million (-28.8) in the third quarter, while the EBIT margin decreased 0.7 percentage point to -5.3% (-4.6%).

The decline in the gross margin was partly offset by a lower marketing cost ratio. The marketing cost ratio decreased to 11.4% (13.0%) driven by leverage on offline marketing spend.

The fulfilment cost ratio decreased to 14.4% (14.6%). Excluding IFRS 16 depreciation impact the fulfilment cost ratio increased around 0.6 percentage point. The increase was driven by costs related to the ongoing implementation of our new internally developed robot management system, which will improve the control of the robots in the fulfilment centre compared to the existing system. Further, a slight inflation on overall distribution costs impacted the fulfilment cost ratio.

The admin & other cost ratio increased to 11.7% (11.6%). Excluding IFRS 16 depreciation impact the admin & other cost ratio increased around 0.9 percentage point. The increase was driven by higher social charges and sharebased compensation related to the Group's long-term incentive programs. Admin & other costs were negatively impacted by higher personnel costs driven by a strengthening of the personnel teams around Booztlet.com and the categories Beauty, Sports and Kids as well as increased rent following the HQ move in the second quarter 2019. These higher costs were offset by general scale effects and a lower loss in the physical stores.

For the first nine months EBIT decreased to SEK -12.8 million (-1.0), while the EBIT margin decreased 0.5 percentage point to -0.5% (-0.1%). The decrease can be explained by a higher loss in the loss-making Beauty by Boozt store as well as higher social charges and sharebased compensation related to the Group's long-term incentive programs. Compared to last year the EBIT margin was negatively by impacted by 0.4 percentage point (SEK 8.8 million) from the loss-making Beauty by Boozt physical stores.

Adjusted EBIT

Adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK -27.6 million (-25.0) in the third quarter. The adjusted EBIT margin improved 0.4 percentage point to -3.6% (-4.0%) driven by the adjusted admin & other cost ratio which improved to 10.0% (11.0%). Excluding IFRS 16 depreciation impact the adjusted admin & other cost ratio improved around 0.2 percentage point.

The adjustment consists of social charges related to the Group's warrant program 2015/2025 and LTI program 2019/2022 of SEK -7.7 million (-3.4). The reserve for social charges fluctuates between periods since it, among other things, is affected by the share price of the company and the probability of number of vested warrants. Included in this adjustment is also IFRS 2 costs for share-based payments related to the warrant program 2015/2025 and LTI program 2019/2022 of SEK -5.4 million (-0.4).

For the first nine months adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 8.2 million (5.8). The adjusted EBIT margin was 0.3% (0.3%). Compared to last year the adjusted EBIT margin was negatively impacted by 0.2 percentage point (SEK 3.9 million) from the loss-making Beauty by Boozt physical stores.

The adjustment consists of social charges related to the Group's warrant program 2015/2025 of SEK -10.3 million (-5.4) and IFRS 2 costs for share-based payments related to the warrant program 2015/2025 and LTI program 2019/2022 of SEK -5.8 million (-1.5). The adjustment also consists of one-off costs affecting comparability related to the closure of the smaller Beauty by Boozt store in Roskilde in Q2 of SEK 4.9 million.

IFRS 16 implementation

Following implementation of IFRS 16 the operating cost and depreciation ratios are compiled differently from last year as leased assets are reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. More information can be found in the 2018 Annual Report (note 2).

The Group has signed an agreement to extend its current warehouse facilities as of Q4 2020. The agreement will have substantial IFRS 16 impact when the facility is handed over to the Group. The expected IFRS 16 impact is approximately 154 million in right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as the agreement length is set to 12 years.

Financial items

The Group's financial costs amounted to SEK -2.8 million (-0.6) and financial income amounted to SEK -0.0 million (2.3) in the quarter. The third quarter last year was impacted by changes in fair value of the Group's derivatives, while no derivatives were held this year.

The financial items are attributable to interests on interest bearing liabilities as well as changes in fair value of the Group's derivatives.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -2.8 million (-1.7).

For the first nine months financial costs amounted to SEK -7.8 million (-10.2) and financial income amounted to SEK -0.0 million (3.8). Net financial items amounted to SEK -7.8 million (-6.4).

See note 3 for information on IFRS 16 impact on financial items.

Tax

Tax amounted to SEK 7.9 million compared to SEK 4.4 million in the third quarter last year. Tax for the period consisted of an increase in the deferred tax asset related to tax losses carried forward. Deferred tax assets for tax losses carried forward are reported to the extent that it is likely they will be utilised.

For the first nine months tax amounted to SEK -2.0 million compared to SEK -2.3 million last year.

The Group expects to utilise the deferred tax assets recognised within the coming three years. There is no time limitation for the deferred tax asset relating to tax losses carried forward.

Net profit

The net result for the quarter totalled SEK -35.6 million (-22.7). Earnings per share before and after dilution amounted to SEK -0.62 (-0.40).

For the first nine months the net result totalled SEK -22.7 million (-9.8). Earnings per share before and after dilution amounted to SEK -0.40 (-0.17).

Working capital

The Group realised a net working capital of SEK 365.9 million (268.2) equivalent to 11.2% (10.6%) of the net revenue for the last twelve months. The increase in net working capital was primarily driven by lower accounts payable partly offset by lower inventory growth and higher accrued expenses and prepaid income from increased level of reservations for returns. Also, the Group has accrued income of approximately SEK 35 million in reverse customs from returns in Norway. Lower accounts payable was driven by a higher maturity of the campaign goods as less campaign stock was bought during the Spring/Summer 2019 season compared to last year. This means a lower share of the current inventory is financed by our suppliers.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -24.3 million (-164.7). The improvement compared with last year was driven by the limited growth in working capital compared to the same quarter last year. Cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to SEK -18.8 million (-141.7) impacted by lower inventory growth. Further, the operating profit after adjustment for non-cash items increased by 19.8 million compared to the same quarter last year, which also contributed to the improved cash flow from operating activities.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -73.0 million (-11.5) driven by the build-out of the phase 3 AutoStore expansion in the fulfilment centre.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 57.8 million (19.9) in the quarter and was attributable to a new loan to the phase 3 AutoStore expansion partly offset by repayments according to plan related to the automation of the fulfilment centre and a change in the lease liability from implementation of IFRS 16.

Cash flow for the quarter amounted to SEK –39.5 million (-156.3).

For the first nine months cash flow amounted to SEK -72.6 million (-64.8). Cash flow from operating activities increased to SEK 20.6 million (-38.5) driven by lower growth in working capital and improved operating profit after adjustments for non-cash items.

Financial position

Total assets increased to SEK 2,440.3 million (1,735.5) driven by higher fixed assets from implementation of IFRS 16 but also a 22% increase in inventory value.

Fixed assets increased to SEK 661.9 million (141.5). The increase was driven by the implementation of IFRS 16 resulting in a right of use asset of SEK 433.0 million (and corresponding lease liabilities) and the phase 3 expansion of AutoStore in the fulfilment centre. The right of use asset is primarily made up of leasing contracts relating to the premises for the fulfilment centre in Ängelholm (equivalent to around 70% of the total lease liability), the headquarter in Hyllie and the physical retail stores. In addition, the Group has accounted for other essential lease agreements regarding cars, trucks and machines. Equipment increased compared to last year due to investments made in the Group's fulfilment centre.

Deferred tax assets decreased to SEK 71.4 million (90.1) and consist of capitalised tax losses carried forward.

Inventory increased with 22%, slightly less than the revenue growth, driven by a lower up-front buy compared to last year.

Total equity and liabilities increased to SEK 2,440.3 million (1,735.5) driven primarily by non-current liabilities from implementation of IFRS 16 and higher accrued expenses and prepaid income from higher reservations for returns.

Net revenue

Net revenue increased with 18.5% to SEK 691.2 million (583.5) in the quarter. For the first nine months net revenue increased with 21.4% to SEK 2,183.4 million (1,798.8).

The overall market for apparel in Sweden and Denmark has been challenged by weaker consumer sentiment. The categories Sport and Beauty grew the strongest in the quarter.

The first half of the quarter was impacted by elevated promotional activities due to the high inventory levels for Spring/Summer, while the second half of the quarter had a normal level of promotional activities as the Autumn/Winter season began.

Average order value increased 1% to SEK 801 (794) for the quarter. Higher gross average order value was partly offset by slightly higher returns in line with expectations as existing customers, who have a higher return rate than new customers, represent a larger share of the net revenue.

New customer intake in the quarter was higher than last year.

True frequency developed positively with an increase to 8.0 (7.8). Customer satisfaction continued at a high level as shown by a Trustpilot score of 9.2 (9.2) and a Net Promoter Score of 73 (73).

EBIT & Adjusted EBIT

EBIT decreased to SEK -44.1 million (-25.6) for the quarter, and the EBIT margin decreased 2.0 percentage point to -6.4% (-4.4%). The decrease was driven by lower gross margin from less consignment sales, which have a 100% gross margin, and an early write down of prior-season stock, which has subsequently been moved to Booztlet.com. Further, higher costs related to share based payments impacted EBIT negatively. This was partly offset by leverage on offline marketing costs.

Adjusted EBIT decreased to SEK -32.0 million (-22.1), while the adjusted EBIT margin decreased to -4.6% (-3.8%). The adjustment relates to social charges and IFRS 2 costs for share based payments related to the Group's 2015/2025 warrant program and LTI 2019/2022 program.

For the first nine months EBIT decreased to SEK -13.6 million (2.4), and the EBIT margin decreased 0.8 percentage point to -0.6% (0.1%). Adjusted EBIT decreased to SEK 1.3 million (9.0), while the adjusted EBIT margin decreased to 0.1% (0.5%). The lower adjusted EBIT margin was primarily driven by lower gross margin which was partly offset by a lower marketing cost ratio driven by leverage on offline marketing costs.

Net revenue

Net revenue increased with 89.7% to SEK 68.0 million (35.9) in the quarter and was attributable to an increased focus on attracting new customers in the off-price segment (customers with a high interest in discounted goods) as well as providing incentives for active Booztlet.com customers to increase their buying frequency.

EBIT & Adjusted EBIT

Net revenue

Net revenue decreased with 11.3% to SEK 5.0 million (5.6) in the quarter. The decrease is driven by the closure of the Beauty by Boozt store in Roskilde in the second quarter of 2019.

For the first nine months net revenue increased with 70.3% to SEK 20.3 million (11.9). The increase is mainly attributable to the opening of the new offline Beauty by Boozt store in Copenhagen in June 2018.

EBIT and Adjusted EBIT

For the first nine months EBIT decreased to SEK -17.2 million (-12.7) and adjusted EBIT improved to SEK -12.3 million (-12.7). The adjustment consists of one-off costs including write-downs related to the closure of the Beauty by Boozt store in Roskilde, Denmark in the second quarter of 2019.

Limiting exposure to physical retail

The first Beauty by Boozt store opened in Roskilde, Denmark in December 2016 and served the purpose of strengthening the relationship with the beauty brands helping build a strong offering online on Boozt.com. As the new larger store in Copenhagen can serve that purpose alone, the store in Roskilde was closed by the end of the second quarter 2019. This resulted in one-off costs of SEK 4.9 million.

Significant events during the third quarter

Acquisition of Touchlogic and inauguration of Boozt Innovation Lab

Boozt AB signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in Touchlogic. Touchlogic is an app and mobile web development company based out of Copenhagen, Denmark with 11 developers. Touchlogic will strengthen current front-end capabilities regarding app and mobile web and enable an acceleration of the development as well as foster further innovation regarding app usability and functionality. The offices of Touchlogic now serves as the home of the new Boozt Innovation Lab, which will be separated from the daily operations. The focus is on developing innovative tools and applications to stay in the forefront of meeting the increasing expectations from customers and partners as well as improving the internal workflows. The purchase price, that includes a three year earn-out, is expected to be around SEK 10 million. Closing of the transaction took place in October 2019. The acquisition is assessed as non-material.

Change to Group Management

After almost 9 years with Boozt, CFO and co-founder Allan Junge Jensen has decided to pursue a career outside of Boozt. Allan will leave Boozt by the end of January 2020.

Sandra Gadd was subsequently appointed as CFO and will assume her new position as of December 1, 2019. Sandra is Swedish and 36 years old. She holds an MBA degree from Lund University and has been an Authorized Public Accountant. Sandra Gadd has been with Boozt since October 2016 where she took the position as Transformation Finance Manager, responsible for the internal financial preparations for Boozt's IPO on Nasdaq Stockholm in May 2017. In January 2018, Sandra Gadd was appointed Business Development Director. Before joining Boozt, Sandra had been working with Deloitte for 8 years in the audit practice as Authorized Public Accountant and Finance Manager.

R&D partnership with AutoStore and Element Logic

Boozt has strengthened its ties to the automation partner AutoStore and the automation service partner Element Logic with a R&D partnership to ensure continued progress in increased productivity and adoption of the latest advancements within the technology. In close cooperation new technology can be developed and tested in a controlled environment limiting the potential risk of adopting new and improved technology. A key benefit for Boozt is the early access to new technology.

Agreement with Catena to build new fulfilment centre

The existing fulfilment centre in Ängelholm is expected to be fully build out with automation during 2020. The new fulfilment centre, of approximately 23.000 m2 , will be situated next to the current and is expected to be handed over and be operational by the end of 2020.

Events after the reporting date

Change to Group Management

After more than 8 years with Boozt Niels Hemmingsen left his position as Chief Operating Officer on November 1, 2019. Niels will stay on in an advisor role until mid-2020. The position as Chief Operating Officer will be split to reflect the increased complexity of the role's many responsibilities and to reflect that Boozt is entering a phase with more focus on optimizing the operational processes compared to previous years' focus on handling the high relative growth. Lars Lindgaard, previously Distribution Director, will take up the position as Head of Fulfilment Operations and report directly to CEO Hermann Haraldsson.

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:

  • Claus Wiinblad (representing ATP), Chairman of the Nomination Committee
  • Daniel Ahlstrand (representing Verdane Capital VII K/S)
  • Johannes Wingborg (representing Länsförsäkringar)

Henrik Theilbjørn, Chairman of the Board of Boozt AB (publ).

Employees

Number of employees was 348 (298) at the end of the period equivalent to an increase of 17%. The increase was driven by a strengthening of the personnel teams around the categories Sport, Beauty, Kids and Booztlet.com, partly offset by a lower number of employees in the physical stores. The average number of employees was 329 (270) for the quarter equivalent to an increase of 22%.

Seasonal variances

Seasonal variances affect the Group. 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.

Warrant program 2018/2021

The Annual General Meeting on 27 April 2018 in Boozt AB (publ) resolved on a long-term incentive program by way of a directed issue of warrants to a wholly owned subsidiary and approval of transfer of warrants from the subsidiary to group management and key employees (the "Warrants Program 2018/2021").

Each warrant in Warrants Program 2018/2021 entitles to subscription of one share in the company at a subscription price of SEK 96.31 corresponding to 126 per cent of the volume weighted average price according to Nasdaq Stockholm's official price list for shares in the company during the period as from 18 May 2018 to and including 24 May 2018. Subscription of shares by virtue of the warrants may be affected as from 1 June 2021 up to and including 14 June 2021. The transfer of the warrants to the participants in Warrants Program 2018/2021 has been made at a price per warrant of SEK 9.18, corresponding to the fair market value of a warrant as of 31 May 2018 as established by Öhrlings Pricewaterhouse Coopers AB in accordance with the Black Scholes formula. Hence no IFRS 2 cost will affect the Group, and no provisions will be made for social charges.

LTI program 2019/2022

The Extraordinary Annual General Meeting on 24 June 2019 in Boozt AB (publ) resolved on a long-term incentive program by way of approval of transfer of performance shares to group management and key employees (the "LTI Program 2019/2022"). The LTI Program 2019/2022 entitles the company's CEO, Group Management and key employees to receive shares in the company at a subscription price of SEK 0.00 if certain performance measures are met at the end of the performance period 31 December 2021. The vesting takes place 24 June 2022, where after the performance shares can be distributed to the participants in the program. The maximum number of performance shares that can be distributed to the participants are 406,994. The LTI program 2019/2022 is classified as an IFRS 2 program, whereas the costs associated with the program will be distributed over the period from July 2019 until the end of June 2022. In addition, the Group will account for provisions for social charges during the expected lifetime of the LTI program.

By closing date Sep 30, the Group considers 93,334 performance shares to have been vested with the following IFRS2 impact: For non-market vesting conditions the IFRS2 cost is set at 61.7 SEK per performance share and for market vesting conditions the IFRS 2 cost is calculated with a Monte Carlo model setting the IFRS 2 cost to SEK 40.1 per performance share. The underlying assumptions in the Monte Carlo model are a risk free interest rate of -0.591% and a volatility of 37.7% In addition, the Group applies probabilities to the calculation of the total amount of vested performance shares per closing date taking into consideration survival rate of employees (hence performance shares), a probability of reaching the pre-determined targets for achieving a grant of performance shares in 2022 and a probability for achieving the net working capital constraints as set out in the terms and conditions of the program.

Annual General Meeting

The Board of Directors has decided that the Annual General Meeting will be held in Malmö on May 7, 2020.

Outlook

The outlook for the Group is adjusted compared to the Q2 report. The Group now expects net revenue growth for 2019 of between 23% and 26% (previously above 27%). The adjustment is due to a softer apparel market in Denmark and Sweden and a change of agreement structure with a large brand partner negatively impacting net revenue growth. The outlook for the adjusted EBIT margin for 2019 is, however, upgraded to above 2.5% from previously above 2.3% due to operational improvements. The Other segment is expected to have a

negative impact on adjusted EBIT of around SEK 15 million in 2019 (SEK 20 million including one-off costs from closure of the Beauty by Boozt store in Roskilde as previously communicated). The outlook assumes constant currencies from the time of this announcement and for the remainder of the financial year.

The Group maintains the medium term financial targets adopted by the Board of Directors at the time of the listing of the Group.

Note 1 - Accounting principles

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 complete accounting principles will be disclosed in the annual report of 2019.

The accounting and measurement policies, as well as the assessment bases, applied in the 2018 Annual Report have also been applied in this quarterly report, with exception of what is described below

New or amended accounting standards that come into force in 2019 or later

IFRS 16 Leasing replaced IAS 17 as of January 1, 2019. Under the new standard, the majority of leased assets are reported in the balance sheet. The only exceptions are short-term and low-value leases. For the Group the implementation of IFRS 16 affected the financial statements as all leases in the Group are capitalized, i.e. an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rent are recognised. This have an effect on the total balance sheet and key ratios such as solidity. The contracts that have the greatest impact are leasing contracts relating to the premises for the fulfilment centre in Ängelholm (approximately 70% of the Group's lease liability), the headquarter in Hyllie and the physical retail stores. In addition, the Group has identified smaller lease agreements with cars, trucks and minor machines which also are accounted under IFRS 16. For the third quarter in 2019, the value of the Group's "right use of asset" is SEK 433.0 Million.

Important estimates and assessments

Effect on implementation of IFRS 16

expected to fulfil the terms and conditions that gives them a right to exercise the issued warrants is performed at each reporting date. The assessment is thereby a factor in the calculation of the liability (social charges) and IFRS 2 cost for share based payments to employees for the period.

In IFRS 15 the accrual for customer returns is based on 90% of the realised returns (approximately 20 days into the month after closing) and an estimate to the last 10% of the total accrual.

The depreciation period for the automated warehouse system AutoStore has been changed from January 1, 2019. The residual value as per January 1, 2019 will be linearly depreciated resulting in a total depreciation period of 10 years from the first day of capitalisation. Aluminium grid and boxes are depreciated over 10 years and the remaining components over 5 years. The operation of AutoStore until today has shown that the durability and service lif

of aluminium grid and boxes is very good and exceeds the original assessment of 5 years. For robots and other components, the depreciation period of 5 years is retained.

Parent Company

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 Group reports net revenue, EBIT and Operating profit before tax for each of the operating segments. No information on segment assets or liabilities is provided, as the two major segments share the assets and liabilities.

after which the carrying amount is estimated to be the same as the fair value. For more detailed description of the Group's
classification and valuation of financial instruments please see the Group's Annual Report.
Derivative instruments
The fair value is calculated as defined for level 2 in IFRS 7. As per Q3 2019 the Group has no active derivative contracts.

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, 2019. 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)

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 have 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 EBIT APM Profit/loss before interest, tax, share based payments related
to employees and items affecting comparability.
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,
returnhandling, 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.
Earnings per share IFRS Profit/loss for the period divided by weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period.
The aim is to distribute the company's profit to each share.
Earnings per share after dilution IFRS Profit/loss for the period divided by the diluted weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period.
The number of ordinary shares shall be the weighted
average number of shares, used when per share, plus the
weighted average number of shares that would be issued
measuring basic earnings on the conversion of all the dilutive
potential shares into ordinary shares. Potential ordinary
shares shall be treated as dilutive when, and only when, their
conversion to ordinary shares would decrease earnings per
share or increase loss per share.
The aim is to distribute the company's profit to each share
including the net non registered shares (i.e. warrants or
similar).
Explanation APM / IFRS Definition Rationale
EBIT (Operating profit) IFRS Profit/loss before interest and tax. The aim of this figure is to display the profit/loss before
interests and tax
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.
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,
returnhandling, indeliveries 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 revneue.
Growth in local currency APM Growth in local currency weighted with the local currency's
share of net revenue in SEK in the reporting quarter.
To illustrate the growth adjusted for the impact of
translating foreign currency to SEK.
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.
Lease liabilities IFRS The Group's lease liabilities taking into consideration the
Group's borrowing interest rate and lenght of lease
agreements, options etc.
The Group's lease liabilities considered as a loan with
amortizations and interest.
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.
Net revenue IFRS Transactional net revenue less fees paid to consignment
partners plus other revenue.
This is the IFRS net revenue measurement taking into
consideration that only the commission share of a
transaction can be recognised as revenue, and even to
include revenue which does not come from transactions
with customers.
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.
Right of use asset IFRS Present value of the Group's lease assets taking into
consideration the Group's borrowing interest rate.
To clarify the Group's contingent assets which will have to
be considered in combination with the Group's contingent
lease liabilities.
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.
Explanation APM / IFRS Definition Rationale
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
behavior 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 behavior once they mature.
