Second quarter in brief

  • Group revenues increased by 7.3% (+10.2%) to MNOK 856.4. In constant currency:
    • Group revenues increased by 5.0% (+10.6%)
    • LFL revenues increased by 4.6% (+9.2%)
    • Online revenues increased by 5.9% (+9.8%)
  • Gross margin decreased by 0.9 percentage points to 62.3% (63.2%)
  • OPEX increased by 13.7% (+6.9%) impacted by the warehouse transition combined with significant currency effect
  • EBITDA decreased by MNOK 12.4 to MNOK 189.1 (MNOK 201.5)
  • Net income is impacted by an impairment of right-of-use asset of MNOK 25.0 and disagio of MNOK 8.8
  • EPS of NOK -0.07 (NOK 1.19)

  • Following the acquisition of Hemtex in 2019, The Kid Group has been operating with two distinct warehouse and logistical setups; One serving Norway, and one serving Sweden, Finland and Estonia
  • To capitalise upon operational synergies and enhance efficiency, it was in 2023 decided to expand the facilities in Sweden, establishing one central warehouse for the Group
  • The investment also addressed capacity constraints in the Norwegian warehouse, which has been strained by several years of strong growth. The new facility lays a critical foundation for Kid Group's continued expansion
  • Construction was completed on schedule, and the new 57,000 square meter common warehouse became operational during second quarter 2025
  • Significant efforts have gone into building a robust organization capable of serving all markets – across both physical and online channels - from a single location. A total of 100 new employees have been recruited and trained to operate the automated warehouse facility
  • The transition to the new setup has introduced some temporary efficiency challenges, leading to lower store inventory and delayed online deliveries
  • The performance is improving gradually, even though it still will take some time before all solutions work seamlessly together and the full saving potential is materialising

Second quarter in brief

  • Categories launched since 2022 accounted for MNOK 25.0 (MNOK 22.5) in revenues
  • Revenues were positively impacted by the timing of Easter and strong seasonal product sales compared to last year, partially offset by fewer shopping days in the Norwegian market
  • Opened four new stores during the quarter; one Kid Interior store and three Hemtex stores
  • Completed 15 store projects, six in Kid Interior and five in Hemtex, including four Extended stores in Norway during the quarter
  • Signed the fifteenth Extended store in Norway, completing Kid Interior's stated ambition of 15 stores
  • Kid Group is actively contributing to the development of cost-efficient, competition-neutral textile return schemes through Tekstilpro AS

Group revenues Q2 increased by 7.3% to MNOK 856.4

  • In constant currency:
    • Group revenues increase of 5.0% (+10.6%)
    • Group like-for-like revenues increase of 4.6% (+9.2%) including online sales
    • Online growth of 5.9% (+9.8%), equivalent to an online share of 12.2% (12.1%). Including click-and-collect, the online share was 18.8% (17.3%)
  • Kid Interior revenue growth of 7.1% (+11.0%)
    • Like-for-like growth of 5.7% (+9.5%) including online sales
    • Online sales increased by 2.8% (+15.4%)

    • Online sales increased by 9.9% (+3.1%)

5 Kid ASA – Q2 presentation

Robust gross margin impacted by higher share of freight

  • Group gross margin was 62.3% for the quarter
    • Kid Interior gross margin decreased by -0.9pp to 62.4% (63.3%)
    • Hemtex gross margin decreased by -0.9pp to 62.3% (63.2%)
  • The reduction in gross margin this quarter compared to previous year is attributed to several factors
    • Increased proportion of freight costs in the cost of goods sold
    • The margin last year was positively impacted by early price adjustments

OPEX-TO-SALES (excl. IFRS 16) of 53.7% (50.7%)

  • Employee benefit expenses increased by MNOK 19.1
    • General salary increase and increased number of working hours in stores, in addition to net new stores
    • Increased hours in the logistics due to increased activity level and transition of the warehouse setup for Kid Group
    • MNOK 4.3 increase due to changes in SEKNOK exchange rate
  • Other operating expenses increased by MNOK 22.6
    • Increase is mainly driven by costs related to the activity level, in addition to increased store portfolio in terms of square meters
    • Logistics increase due to activity level and transition of the new warehouse setup
    • MNOK 3.6 increase due to changes in SEKNOK exchange rate
  • Approximately MNOK 9 was booked as other OPEX and rental costs during the quarter, and these costs are considered non-recurring
    • These costs are related to the commencement of the new common warehouse

Cash flow development in Q2

  • Cash flow from operations was positive by MNOK 105.4 due to effects from working capital changes
