PRESIDENT'S COMMENTS

Increased sales and profit

During the third quarter, sales increased approximately 6 percent, operating profit (EBITA) increased 19 percent, and we made good progress on our strategic priorities. Byggmax growth initiatives gave good results, Skånska Byggvaror increased profitability for the fifth consecutive quarter and also returned to growth.

Sales in the third quarter increased 5.9 percent, driven by good growth in both Byggmax and Skånska Byggvaror. During the first nine months, sales increased 5.3 percent.

Gross margin for the quarter increased to a high 32.2 percent (30.7). The negative effect of timber prices that impacted last year's third quarter has been reversed. The gross margin was further strengthened by continued purchasing improvements and price/mix effects. Currency effects had a negative impact.

Cost control remained solid. The increase in costs for the quarter was mainly attributed to new Byggmax stores. The efforts to increase our operational efficiency continues.

Profit for the quarter, measured as EBITA excl. non-recurring items, increased to SEK 220.4 M (185.7), and the EBITA margin increased 1.4 percentage points to 12.2 percent (10.8)2 Excluding IFRS 16, EBITDA excl. non-rec. items was SEK 250.9 M (218.1). Year to date EBITA increased to SEK 275.4 M (224.2).

Still a cautious market

In the third quarter, the consumer market was still cautious. Weather effects were clearly positive compared to last year's hot summer. On the negative side, Swedish households' intent to renovate declined somewhat further in the second quarter, following a clear decline in the first quarter. Despite early signs of an improved Swedish housing market, the decline in number of detached houses sold continued in both the first and second quarter.3

In all we estimate that the Nordic consumer market for building materials was unchanged to somewhat lower (0 to -2 percent) in the third quarter, compared to the same period last year.

The market grew during last autumn, supported by mild weather, and for the fourth quarter we expect a negative development compared to last year. In the medium term, a stronger housing market would benefit the renovation market. Longer term, renovation needs are substantial for many years.

Larger and more efficient Byggmax

The Byggmax segment grew 6.1 percent in the quarter and Byggmax continued to capture market share. Sales in comparable stores was flat (0.0 percent). Profit measured as EBITA increased to SEK 208.9 M (175.3). Gross margin increased and cost control remained strong

Byggmax growth initiatives have given good results. New stores, eleven year to date of which five of the small format, have been well received and non-comparable stores generated a 6 percent increase in sales. In the quarter, new stores had a positive impact on EBITA of SEK 4 M. Online sales increased and both our Garden departments and the Store 3.0 initiative contributed to sales growth. We can now see that Store 3.0 meets the expectations of sales growth of ca 3 percent per store, and a quick return on investment.

With good results from our small format stores, Garden departments and Store 3.0 conversions, we now have more options to drive profitable growth in the short and long term. While we plan to continue open new stores and grow our online sales, we will increasingly shift focus to upgrading existing stores. The Garden departments and Store 3.0 offers are still only in parts of the store portfolio (Garden in 21 stores or 13 percent of portfolio, Store 3.0 in 19 stores, or 12 percent).

Continued increased profitability for Skånska Byggvaror, now also return to growth

The transformation of Skånska Byggvaror continued to give good effects. Profitability improved for the fifth consecutive quarter. Sales increased 8.8 percent compared to the same period last year, and EBITA excl. non-rec. items amounted to SEK 19.0 M (15.9). The sales trend has now turned positive, following a flat (+0.4 percent) development in the second quarter. Order intake in the period increased, driven by good growth in the core categories.

We remain focused on driving profitable growth through initiatives within the core assortment, sales and marketing, while continuing to improve efficiency.

Increasingly well positioned

In the third quarter, our peak season, we made good progress on our priorities and sales and profits increased well.

The financial results should of course be seen in the light of the challenging third quarter last year, with high timber prices and hot weather. We are still pleased to see strong earnings growth in a continued cautious market.

Market conditions will vary over time. Byggmax is increasingly well positioned with our strong low price concept and more proven initiatives to drive profitable growth. I look forward to give more of Byggmax to more customers in the future!

Cash flow from operating activities excluding IFRS 16 amounted to SEK -224.9 M (18.4) for the period, down SEK 243.3 M year-on-year. The decrease is mostly related to a decrease in accounts payables.

Market - potential for continued organic growth

The Byggmax Group conducts business in the Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish do-it-yourself market. The renovation market has over time grown at approximately the same rate as GDP. In the short term the market is highly impacted by weather conditions as they determine the prerequisites for customers to conduct outdoor projects.

Many Nordic towns still lack a low price retail option, which creates a potential for Byggmax to continue organic growth through successful store expansion.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Byggmax Group AB (publ) applies the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups. The same accounting policies and measuring methods apply as in the 2018 Annual Report. The application of the accounting policies corresponds with the policies in the Annual Report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, with the exception of the introduction on January 1, 2019 of IFRS 16 Leasing.

The Parent Company's accounts have been prepared pursuant to the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The same accounting policies have been applied as for the Group except in those cases stated in the Parent Company's accounting policies section in the 2018 Annual Report, Note 2.18. The Parent Company has not applied IFRS 16.

Refer to the Annual Report for the 2018 fiscal year, notes 1–4, for a more detailed description of the accounting policies applied for the Group and the Parent Company in this interim report.

The interim data on pages 1-26 comprises an integrated part of this financial report.

IFRS 16 Leasing

IFRS 16 Leases was published in January 2016 by the IASB. The standard has been adopted by the EU and will replace IAS 17 Leases, as well as the appurtenant interpretations IFRIC 4, SIC-15 and SIC-27. IFRS 16 requires assets and liabilities attributable to all lease contracts, excepting brief agreements or agreements regarding low-value assets, to be recognized in the balance sheet.

This report is based on the view that the lessee is entitled to use an asset for a specific period of time while also having an obligation to pay for this entitlement.

This will result in the majority of current operating leases being recognized in the balance sheet beginning 1 January 2019.

The Group has conducted a complete review of all lease contracts. in which information was collected and compiled as a basis for calculations and quantification in connection with conversion to IFRS 16. In the Group, leases primarily relate to store leases. In connection with the transition to IFRS 16, the majority of these leases will be recognized in the balance sheet as assets with a right of use and a financial liability. The Group has decided to apply partial retroactive application. which means that comparison figures do not need to be recalculated and that there is no impact on opening shareholders' equity.

The Group will apply the following practical solutions allowed under the standard:

  • . The same discount rate will be used for lease portfolios with similar attributes.
  • Operating leases with a remaining lease term of 12 months are recognized as short-term leases.

Accounting policies Leases

The Group's leases pertain to premises. The terms and conditions are negotiated separately for each lease and include a number of different contractual terms.

Leases are recognized as right-of-use assets with a corresponding liability on the date the leased asset becomes available for use by the Group. Each lease payment breaks down into a debt repayment and a financial expense. The financial expense portion is allocated over the lease period so that an amount is recognized in every reporting period that corresponds to a fixed interest rate for the liability recognized in each period. Straight-line depreciation is applied to the right-of-use asset over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the term of the lease.

The lease period is defined as the date on which the lease starts until the first possible exit period.

Assets and liabilities that arise from leases are initially recognized at present value. Since this is the first report under IFRS 16, all rightof-use assets have been measured at the amount of the lease liability, with adjustment for prepaid lease payments attributable to the lease as of January 1, 2019.

The lease liability includes the present value of the following lease payments:

  • Fixed payments
  • Variable index-related lease payments

Q3 Interim report 2019 Byggmax Group AB (publ)

Lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost and include the following:

  • The initial valuation of the lease liability
  • Payments made at or prior to when the leased asset became available to the lessee.

Low-value leases are expensed straight line in profit or loss.

Auditor's report

Byggmax Group AB (publ) reg.no. 556656-3531

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Byggmax Group AB (publ) as of 30 September 2019 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish 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 Report 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 is substantially
less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

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

New financial goal as a result of IFRS 16

Impact of IFRS 16

The IFRS 16 accounting standard have been implemented from January 1, 2019. The majority of the company's lease agreements have been recognized in the balance sheet. In the Group, leases primarily related to store leases.

The effects on the carrying amounts are described on page 11.

Byggmax has chosen to apply a method that means that comparative figures, in other words 2018, will not be restated. To facilitate for the reader, in 2019 the company will include some key performance indicators for 2019 excluding the effects of IFRS 16 in its interim reporting. This is for the purpose of comparability between the years.

Updated financial targets from 2019

As a result of IFRS 16, from 2019, the profitability target will be
updated to an EBITA margin of 7-8 percent. The historic difference between EBITDA and EBITA has been around 2.5 percent. IFRS 16 entails a slightly positive effect on EBITA. Our ambitious targets for the operations remain unchanged and the profitability target is now formulated to comply with the new accounting policies that apply from 2019.

Effect of IFRS 16 on the P/L in the first nine months of 2019

Leases for store premises are no longer classified in profit or loss as lease rents and are instead recognized as asset depreciation and interest expenses on the lease liability. This positively impacts the EBITDA metric and depreciation increases.

IFRS 16 has positively affected EBITA in an amount of SEK 13.2 M in the first nine months of 2019, corresponding to an increase of 0.3 percentage points. Given Byggmax' sales pattern this percentage will decrease over the coming quarters and is estimated at 0.3 percentage points for the fiscal year 2019.

Profit and loss for the period has been negatively affected by SEK 8.2 M. The effect of SEK -8.2 M is explained by financial costs being a higher part of the lease debt at the beginning than at the end of the lease period while depreciation is linear.

THE BYGGMAX GROUP

Byggmax in brief

Byggmax Group consists of Byggmax. Buildor and Skånska Byggvaror. The first Byggmax store opened the doors 1993 and 17 years later, 2010, Byggmax Group' s stock was listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. Byggmax has operations in Sweden, Norway and Finland.

Business concept

Byggmax's business concept is to sell high-quality building supplies at the lowest price possible.

Business model and key factors for success

Byggmax offers affordable high-quality products for the most common maintenance and DIY projects. Since the start in 1993, the business has been characterized by the so-called "Byggmax concept" which has been decisive for the company's development. The concept is built on a limited product range. resource-efficient administration, strong company culture and a competitive and effective pricing strategy, as well as the stores' distinguished shape and design.

Goals

Byggmax has established the following long-term goals for the Group1:

  • Organic sales growth of 10 to 15 percent per year.
  • The EBITA margin should be 7-8 percent per year1
  • Distribute at least 50 percent of net profit.

The company's long-term financial targets were updated in connection with the launch of an updated strategy in June 2017. To realize the strategy, a number of initiatives to increase efficiency and the rate of growth were implemented in 2017 and will be implemented in 2018. As a result of IFRS 16, we have updated the formulation of our profitability target as follows: an EBITA margin of 7-8 percent.

Strategies

Focus on organic growth based on existing strengths in store expansion, e-commerce and assortment development. To exemplify this strategy: in the summer of 2017, two tests were launched. The first was a condensed store format for smaller locations, and the second a garden concept in accordance with the Byggmax concept, with drive-in and an easy-to-buy, focused range of quality products and the market's lowest prices.

In conjunction with this, the financial targets have been updated to reflect a higher ambition. The target is organic growth of 10-15% per year, an EBITA margin of 7-8%, and a dividend of at least 50% of net profit

Byggmax organization

Byggmax has a resource-efficient organization with the majority of business activities managed centrally. Aside from the sales force, which is based in Byggmax stores, most business processes, includingByggmax's online sales, are managed across all stores by the head office in Solna, near Stockholm. In addition to the office in Solna, Skånska Byggvaror has an office in Helsingborg.

Risks and uncertainties

A number of factors can impact Byggmax's earnings and operations. Most of these factors can be managed through internal procedures, while certain factors are largely governed by external circumstances. For a more detailed description of the Group's risks and risk management, see the Annual Report. Apart from the risks described in the Annual Report, no material risks arose during the period.

Seasonal fluctuations

The company's operations are affected by strong seasonal variations controlled by consumer demand for basic building supplies. Due to the weather's impact on demand, Byggmax's sales and cash flow are generally higher in the second and third quarters, when about two thirds of the company's sales are generated, while these usually decline in the fourth and first quarters. Although seasonal variations do not normally affect Byggmax's earnings and cash flow from year to year, earnings and cash flow may be impacted during the year by unusually harsh or mild weather conditions, or by excessive or insufficient precipitation. Byggmax endeavors to balance the seasonal effects by launching new products that are not as susceptible to seasonal variations.

About Buildor se

Buildor.se has been a part of the Byggmax family since October 2015. Buildor.se was launched in 2013 with the goal of making it easier and more pleasant to shop for building supplies. Buildor offers a broad range of varied product categories at the market's most competitive prices for building supplies and interior fittings online.

About Skånska Byggvaror

Skånska Byggvaror has been a part of the Byggmax family since January 2016. Skånska Byggvaror was founded in 1965 and is an online Nordic distance retailer of value-added building products for the DIY market, with a particular strong presence within "Garden Living" categories, i.e., conservatories, green houses, and other garden buildings.

With internal product development and carefully selected suppliers, Skånska Byggvaror creates attractive products sold under its own brands. The path from idea to launch is and has always been short. This gives Skånska Byggvaror unique control over the assortment, in areas including quality, design and value. Since 2012. Skånska Byggvaror has successfully sold its products in Norway through the Grønt Fokus brand.

1 From 2019 our profitability target has a result of FRS 16 from EBTDA margin 9-10 percent per year to EBTA margin 7-8 percent per year.

  • Weather Byggmax sells many items for outdoor use and. accordingly, sales are impacted by the weather. Seasonal variations are clearly visible and the company has significantly higher turnover in spring, summer and early autumn.
