1 Earnings overview excluding listing costs 2 Comparative figures have been adjusted for the share split 1:3 carried out on June 2, 2010.
Overall sales rose by close to 13 percent during the quarter compared to the year-earlier period. The establishment of new stores made a positive impact on growth in parallel with increased sales from existing stores. In addition, the milder than normal weather for part of the quarter had a positive impact on sales.
The gross margin for the quarter was higher than for the yearearlier period. The gross margin has been strengthened by a positive product mix and by early payment of suppliers by Byggmax in return for discounted prices for a longer period in the fourth quarter compared with the preceding year. Byggmax ceased discounted early payments to suppliers at the end of December and expects accounts payable to be at a more normal level at the end of the first quarter. Operating costs increased during the quarter, primarily due to an increase in the number of stores.
Byggmax opened no stores in the fourth quarter of 2011. This means that the total number of store openings in 2011 was 13, six in Sweden, three in Norway and four in Finland. Byggmax plans to open an additional 10-15 stores in 2012.
Byggmax joins the Bricoalliance from January 2012. The Bricoalliance is a joint purchasing collaboration comprising nine major commercial enterprises in Europe that operate a total of 547 stores with sales of SEK 16 billion. Byggmax is joining this partnership to further strengthen its competitive purchasing operations.
The uncertainty regarding trends in the economies of Byggmax's markets continues. Historically, Byggmax has strengthened its market position during a weaker economy due to its low-price concept. Sales growth was slightly lower than the goal for the fourth quarter, although higher than in the previous two quarters. We are convinced of the strength of the Byggmax concept, which is confirmed by the Board of Directors' proposed increase in the dividend from SEK 1.50 to 1.80 per share.
An expanded store network is enabling us to reach an increasing number of consumers in Sweden, Norway and Finland and with our high degree of cost awareness, we remain on the side of our customers by offering an attractive range at very low prices.
Number of stores
Byggmax's business concept is to sell high-quality building supplies at the lowest price possible.
Byggmax offers inexpensive high-quality products for the most common maintenance and DIY projects, ever since the company was founded in 1993, the operations have been conducted in accordance with the Byggmax concept, which has been essential to the company's development. The concept is based on a focused product range, a resource-efficient organization, a strong corporate culture and consistent pricing strategy, as well as the characteristic design of the stores.
Byggmax has determined it's 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.
During 2011, Byggmax opened 13 new stores, six in Sweden, three in Norway and four in Finland. The diagram illustrates the expansion of the chain of stores since Byggmax was founded in 1993.
The operation's net sales totaled SEK 618.3 M (549.1), up 12.6 percent. Operating revenue was SEK 619.4 M (550.1), up 12.6 percent. Net sales for comparable stores3 rose 2.3 percent in local currency. Net sales amounted to SEK 444.7 M (419.9) in Sweden and SEK 173.6 M (129.2) in the other Nordic markets.
| The sales increase of 12,6 percent was divided according to the following: |

The Group opened zero (zero) new stores during the quarter. Accordingly, the total number of stores in the Group at December 31, 2011 was 86 (73).
EBIT amounted to SEK 50.3 M (37.9). The EBIT margin was 8.1 percent (6.9). The gross margin amounted to 31.6 percent, compared with 29.7 percent for the year-earlier period.
Personnel and other external costs increased by a total SEK 17.5 M. This was primarily due to costs of SEK 14.4 M incurred for new stores opened in 2011.
Profit before tax amounted to SEK 45.7 M (31.9). Net financial items amounted to an expense of SEK 4.6 M (expense: 5.9). Net financial items were impacted by exchange-rate differences.
The operation's net sales totaled SEK 2,987.1 M (2,773.0), up 7.7 percent. Operating revenue was SEK 2,992.1 M (2,776.1), up 7.8 percent. Net sales for comparable stores3 declined 1.9 percent in local currency. Net sales amounted to SEK 2,269.0 M (2,202.3) in Sweden and SEK 718.0 M (570.7) in the other Nordic markets.

The Group opened 13 (12) new stores during the period. Accordingly, the total number of stores in the Group at December 31, 2011 was 86 (73)
EBIT amounted to SEK 277.5 M (274.8). The EBIT margin was 9.3 percent (9.9). The gross margin amounted to 30.1 percent, compared with 29.7 percent for the corresponding period of the preceding year.
Personnel and other external costs have increased by a total of SEK 67.2 M. This was primarily due to costs of SEK 69.2 M incurred for new stores that were not opened in the corresponding period in 2010. The first half of 2010 was charged with costs arising from the stock exchange listing of SEK 16.7 M. Marketing costs for the period were SEK 10.4 M higher than for the yearearlier period, which was primarily explained by costs associated with television commercials in Finland and the production of advertising commercials.
Profit before tax amounted to SEK 251.9 M (237.4). Net financial items amounted to an expense of SEK 25.8 M (expense: 37.4). The improvement in net financial items was attributable to lower interest expenses subsequent to the conversion of half of the Group's shareholder loan to equity in June 2010. Net financial items were impacted by exchange-rate differences.
Cash flow from operating activities for the October to December period amounted to negative SEK 221.5 M (148.7), a decline of SEK 72.8 M compared with the year-earlier period. This is primarily attributable to an increase in accounts payable arising from a greater degree of cash payments made by the Group compared with the year-earlier period. Tax paid rose by SEK 40.2 M compared with the preceding year. This was attributable to increased preliminary tax during the year. At the end of the period, inventory amounted to SEK 424.9 M (350.5). Compared with the end of the year-earlier period, 13 new stores were added and inventory associated with these amounted to SEK 56.4 M. Stock for distribution was SEK 26.1 M higher year-on-year due to an increasing amount of stock being distributed via the distribution hub.
At December 31, 2011, consolidated shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 844.4 M (748.5). The Group's net indebtedness amounted to SEK 487.5 M (445.1), an increase of SEK 42.4 M compared with the year-earlier period. The equity/assets ratio was 47.8 (45.0) percent. Unutilized credits totaled SEK 70.2 M (175.3).
Investments (excluding financial leasing) during the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 8.7 M (1.8), of which SEK 1.2 M (0.2) comprised investments in new stores and SEK 4.3 M (1.7) in IT equipment. Investments (excluding financial leasing) for the year amounted to SEK 36.2 M (29.1), of which SEK 11.7 M (14.8) comprised investments in new stores and SEK 13.3 M (6.2) in IT equipment.
Thirteen new stores were opened during the period January to December 2011: Ängelholm, Avesta, Enköping, Bollnäs, Lidköping and Norrtälje (Sweden). Lillehammer, Arendal and Tiller/ Trondheim (Norway). Borgå, Björneborg, Reso and Vanda (Finland). In the third quarter of 2011, the property investment company Byggmax Fastighetsutveckling 5 AB was sold.
The number of employees (converted to full-time equivalents) rose to 527 (434) at the end of the year, due to an increase in the number of stores.
• Weather – Byggmax sells many items for outdoor use and these sales are seasonal and, additionally, the majority of Byggmax's sales occur in the spring, summer and early autumn. The beginning and end of winter, as well as the weather during the peak season impact sales.
• Trends in cost prices – cost prices impact Byggmax's margins. Historically, the market has passed on adjustments in cost prices to the end consumer.
• Competitors' pricing – Byggmax prices products based on the prices of the competition with the objective of always being the cheapest. Therefore, the pricing of competitors affects margins. • Short-term trends in the DIY market – Byggmax operates in the DIY market and, accordingly, its trends impact the company.
• Availability of attractive store locations – The establishment of new stores is a key element of Byggmax's strategy in both the long and the short-term, thus making attractive store locations of key importance.
• The ability to maintain the strong corporate culture – The Byggmax culture plays a key role in the company's success and its retention is a key factor for continued success.
• The ability to execute the Group's strategy and business concept – Maintaining stringency levels in the product range and pricing as well as continuing to trim the organization through continuous improvements comprise a few of the key elements for success.
• 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.
• Trends in the attractiveness of the low-price segment in the DIY market – Byggmax's strategy is to become the largest operator in the low-price segment in the Nordic region. Long-term trends are therefore important.
• The competition's strategies and their execution – Byggmax operates in a competitive market and the actions of the competition affect the Group.
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.
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 for 2010. Byggmax has updated its currency policy and now hedges currency positions greater than SEK 100 M on an annual basis (previously SEK 10 M). Apart from the risks described in the Annual Report, no material risks arose during the period.
The Parent Company is a holding company. Parent Company sales amounted to SEK 0.1 M (0.1) during the fourth quarter and SEK 0.3 M (0.3) for the full fiscal year. The Parent Company reported a profit after financial items of SEK 7.0 M (loss: 24.8) for the fourth quarter of 2011 and a loss of SEK 3.8 M (profit: 6.9) for the fiscal year. The company's earnings for 2010 were charged with expenses of SEK 16.7 M related to the IPO process. Net financial items improved significantly subsequent to the conversion of half of the Group's shareholder loan to equity in June 2010.
The Board of Directors proposes a dividend of SEK 1.8 per share for 2011.

The Annual General Meeting 2011 resolved to adopt an incentive program encompassing approximately 20 senior executives and other key employees of Byggmax. The expiry date for the warrants will be in 3.5 years and the warrants will be exercisable in the last six months of this period. In total, 565,000 warrants have been subscribed for, entailing dilution of slightly more than 1 percent. The price of the warrants corresponded to market price (SEK 6.77 per warrant) and the valuation was conducted by an independent party. Each warrant will entitle the holder to subscribe for one share in the company at an exercise price of SEK 63.90. Participants in the warrants program have signed a pre-emption agreement.
During the first quarter of 2010, an acquisition was made of Svea Distribution AB. The acquisition was completed in March 2011 and an additional purchase price of SEK 0.5 M (the acquisition valuation method includes this amount) was paid.
