1 Earnings 12 months, and full year, 2016 were impacted by the revaluation of the earnout linked to the acquisition of Skånska Byggvaror Group AB and part of the earnout for Buildor AB. The effect on other operating income totaled SEK 112.3 M. Earnings were also impacted by SEK -44.8 M goodwill impairment linked to the acquisition of Skånska Byggvaror Group AB.
Sales in the first quarter increased by 6.1 percent year-onyear, while sales in comparable stores were largely unchanged (increased 0.2 percent, compared with a 5.3 percent increase in the year-earlier period). In addition to challenging comparative figures, the sales trend for the quarter was negatively impacted by calendar effects (the preceding year had one more trading day due to leap year, and Easter fell in March). Our online sales continue to show good growth.
Sales for the Byggmax segment increased 6.5 percent during the quarter, and sales for Skånska Byggvaror increased by 3.2 percent during the same period. February was the weakest sales month of the quarter.
Profitability measured as EBITDA margin increased slightly compared with the preceding year. EBITDA margin was -3.0 percent for the quarter, compared with -3.3 percent for the yearearlier period.
The gross margin for the quarter was 0.9 percentage points lower year-on-year.
The gross margin for the Byggmax segment increased during the quarter. The gross margin was positively affected by the stronger NOK, but adversely impacted by mix-effects and rising costs for input goods. Retail prices have remained largely unchanged. The gross margin for Skånska Byggvaror declined significantly during the quarter as a result of aggressive pricing, mix effects and rising costs for input goods. The effect of aggressive pricing is mainly attributed to orders placed during the fourth quarter 2016, but where products where delivered and sales recorded during the first quarter 2017. Skånska Byggvaror has also taken measures to improve price and campaign management, which has resulted in positive effects in the first quarter.
Cost control was good during the first quarter, and we have taken measures to reduce costs in all companies in the Group. The Group's cost share of sales was lower during the first quarter than one year earlier.
The Swedish building supplies market grew 6.2 percent during the first two months of the year. According to Byggvaruhandlarna , the Swedish market is negatively affected by the reduction in ROT (Repairs, Conversion and Extension) deductions, but positively affected by an increase in new housing production. Byggmax, which primarily targets consumers, has not substantially benefitted from the positive affect of an increase in new-builds.
During the same period, the Norwegian market increased 3.7 percent and the Finnish market 0.9 percent. The Danish market was unchanged in January, 0.0 percent.
During the first quarter 2017, two new Skånska Byggvaror stores opened. We have also announced five new Byggmax stores, and one Skånska Byggvaror store, which will open in 2017.
In April, we made changes to Group management. The Byggmax segment accounts for the vast majority of the Group's business. To better reflect the Group's operations and priorities, Byggmax Country Managers and the head of the Byggmax Marketing & Store concept are now part of Group management.
Sustainability is important for Byggmax and impacts our decisions. As part of our efforts to preserve the environment, in particular from CO2 emissions, Byggmax opened a new distribution center in Gävle during the second quarter of 2016. The center reduces the need for road freight, since this will be replaced with sea freight, which emits less CO2.
With low prices, cost consciousness, presence in several channels and a broad product range, we are on the side of the customer.
The market trend in Sweden is positive over time. The market showed strong growth during the first half 2016, ROT deductions have decreased during the first quarter 2017, and the trend in the consumer market will probably remain weak during the first half 2017. In both the Finnish and Norwegian market, uncertainty remains regarding economic developments. We continue to take market shares in our categories, which confirms the strength of the concepts in the Byggmax Group.
We plan to continue grow through online sales and stores, and aim to open 8 to 12 new stores in 2017.
During the spring. we are updating the strategic plan for Byggmax Group, and this work is proceeding as planned. We will communicate the result of this work in June.
Mattias Ankarberg President, Byggmax Group AB (publ)
In 2017, Byggmax has opened two new stores: one Skånska Byggvaror stores in Sweden and one Skånska Byggvaror store in Norway.

No individual part of the Other segment represents such a material part that it forms a reportable segment, which is why we have chosen to aggregate them. The performance metric we use internally to follow up and evaluate operations is EBIT before depreciation/amortization and impairment of tangible and intangible fixed assets (EBITDA).

Byggmax's business concept is to sell high-quality building supplies at the lowest price possible.
Byggmax offers affordable high-quality products for the most common maintenance and DIY projects. Since the start in 1993, the organization 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.
Byggmax has determined its long-term goals for the Group as follows:
Byggmax's strategy for achieving its financial goals is to expand the chain of stores in existing markets, to improve operating activities and to maintain continuous focus on business development.
To reach the financial goals, Byggmax has defined the following strategies:
.
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, including Byggmax's online sales, are managed functionwide 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.
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, refer to the Annual Report. Apart from the risks described in the Annual Report, no material risks arose during the period.
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.
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. It is just as important for us to provide fast and personal customer service as it is to ensure our employees have the requisite expertise regarding the products' function and accessories to be able to help customers in the most effective way. Another equally important aspect is offering lightning-fast deliveries, which is something Buildor is known for. During the end of 2016, Buildor was launched on the Norweigan market, Buildor.no.
Skånska Byggvaror has been a part of the Byggmax family since January 2016. Skånska Byggvaror was founded in 1965 and is an expansive and profitable online Nordic distance retailer of value-added building products for the DIY market.
Skånska Byggvaror offers a carefully selected and affordable product range to DIY customers, mainly through its web platform. The business model is characterized by a high number of products under its own brand, control of the value chain from product development to home delivery and a high level of service regardless of sales channel. Skånska Byggvaror has thirteen: ten in Sweden and three in Norway.

Byggmax's ability to create value through its business is impacted in the long and short term by various external and internal factors. A selection of these are listed below.
The ability to renew the concept and strategies when needed – The Byggmax concept has remained much the same since it was founded in 1993. However, the concept has developed over time and new ideas have been tested and incorporated or discarded.
Long-term development of the DIY market Byggmax operates in the DIY market and its long-term trend is important.

The fair value of financial liabilities and assets is estimated as equal to their carrying amounts. All external loans have an interest period of three months, meaning that the carrying amount closely corresponds to fair value.
Byggmax only holds derivative instruments measured at fair value in its financial statements. These instruments are measured at fair value in profit or loss. The value of the derivative instruments is based on observable data for the asset or liability, i.e. level 2. No reclassifications between the various levels took place during the period.
Byggmax has reviewed its terminology for alternative key ratios due to the new guidelines from the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). It has not been deemed necessary to change the key ratios. The Byggmax Group uses the alternative key ratios EBITDA, working capital, return on equity and net debt. The Group believes that these key ratios can be utilized by users of the financial statements as a supplement in assessing the possibility of dividends, making strategic investments, evaluating profitability and assessing the Group's ability to meet its financial commitments. Byggmax reports alternative key ratios to describe the operations' underlying profitability and to improve comparability between reporting periods and industries. The Group's definitions are unchanged compared with prior periods. Calculation of alternative key data is available at www.byggmax.com under financial statistics.
| Key ratio | Definition |
|---|---|
| Net sales for comparable stores | Net sales for comparable stores is an important industry-specific ratio for the organic increase in sales. The ratio is a good tool for investors who want to compare sales increases for different companies in the industry. The Group defines this as sales for stores that are comparable. |
| EBITDA | EBITDA is a ratio that the Group considers to be relevant for investors seeking to understand earnings generation before investments in fixed assets. The Group defines earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as EBIT from continuing operations excluding depreciation/amortization and impairment of tangible and intangible fixed assets. |
| EBITDA margin | EBITDA dividerat by net sales |
| EBIT margin | EBIT divided by net sales |
| Earnings per share | Profit after tax divided by the average number of shares outstanding at the end of the period |
| Cash flow from operating activities per share | Cash flow from operating activities for the period divided by the number of shares outstanding on the balance-sheet date |
| Return on equity | Return on equity is a ratio that the Group considers to be relevant for investors seeking to compare their investments with alternative invest ments. The Group defines return on equity as profit after tax divided by average shareholders' equity. |
| Working capital | Working capital is a ratio that the Group considers to be relevant for creditors and investors seeking to compare the amount of capital required by the Group to finance the operating activities. The Group defines working capital as items on the assets side (inventories, current receivables) less items on the liabilities side (accounts payable, current income tax liabilities, other liabilities, accrued expenses and deferred income). |
| Net debt | Net debt is a ratio that the Group considers to be relevant for creditors who want to see the scope of the Group's total liabilities situation. The Group defines net debt as interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equiva lents. |
| Equity/assets ratio | Equity/assets ratio is a ratio that the Group considers to be important to creditors who want to understand the Group's long-term solvency. The Group defines the equity/assets ratio as shareholders' equity divided by total assets. |
| Ratio | Definition |
|---|---|
| Gross margin: | (Net sales less goods for sale) in relation to net sales |
| Comparable stores: | A comparable unit is considered comparable from the beginning of the second year following the opening of the online or physical store. Stores relocated to new premises in an existing location are treated in the same manner. |
