In the second quarter we showed strong organic growth. The positive sales trend means that we have now grown for the last three quarters. On the basis of available market data, we conclude that we have taken market share. We also improved our profitability year on year for the seventh consecutive quarter.

2025/Q2
The underlying market continues to grow and in the second quarter we continued to show strong organic growth. In the first half of the year we have shown solid growth and effective cost control and have thereby significantly improved profitability compared to last year. Thanks to continued sales growth in the second quarter, we have now grown for the last three quarters. We grew 5.4% organically in the quarter and have grown 6.6% organically to date this year. On the basis of available market data, we conclude that we have taken market share. We also improved our profitability year on year for the seventh consecutive quarter. In the second quarter, adjusted EBIT improved by SEK 19 million, or 19%, compared with the same period last year. Note that the underlying profitability improvement in the quarter is an additional approximately SEK 9 million better if the comparison period is adjusted for the divested businesses IP-Agency and Designkupp. During the first half of the year, we have improved EBIT by SEK 41 million or 42% compared to last year, which shows the operating leverage of our business model. The decisive measures we have taken during our restructuring phase in recent years have enabled us to establish a stable and scalable platform to further consolidate our market-leading position in the online segment. We are well prepared for our continuing journey of profitable growth in a market that we expect will improve during the year compared with last year and where we assess the online market to grow faster than the total market.
As mentioned above, we have noted an improvement in the market so far this year compared with the year-earlier period. Demand in the second quarter was negatively impacted by relatively cold weather in May, which is also our most important month in the quarter in terms of sales. Nevertheless, we achieved organic growth in all three business areas in the quarter. Home Improvement delivered a stable quarter despite a cold spring, Value Home reported robust growth and improved profitability as a result of the strong measures we have taken in the business area, and Premium Living continued to display very good cost control and growth despite challenging comparative figures. We continued to experience favourable growth in our largest market of Sweden, the region which we believe has seen the strongest recovery, driven by favourable underlying macro factors. However, we also achieved growth in our key markets of Norway and Germany. We still consider Finland to be a challenging market. We delivered a strong performance in the quarter, mainly in the furniture category as well as in capital-intensive product categories such as bathrooms, windows and doors. Profitability also improved year-on-year during the quarter, mainly as a result of our successful efforts in recent years to make our model more scalable, adjust our costs and enhance our efficiency. We also made good progress in our initiatives to improve customer satisfaction during the quarter.
Our goal is to grow more than our addressable market and ultimately to achieve an adjusted EBIT margin of 7 %, with an initial target of returning to our pre-pandemic profitability level in the form of a 5% adjusted EBIT margin. We see opportunities to grow by expanding our strong offering of external and proprietary brands into adjacent product categories and geographic regions through both organic initiatives and acquisitions. As primarily an e-commerce company, we have a cost advantage over physical stores since we have a lower share of fixed costs, which increases the scalability of our operations. Cost control has always been a fundamental part of BHG's model and will always remain a central component of our strategy to continuously provide customers with the best offering and improve our competitiveness. The cash flow we generate will primarily be used to strengthen our balance sheet in the short term and later be reinvested in growth in the form of strategic initiatives and M&A and at a later stage dividends. Our main tactical priorities for 2025 can be summarised as follows:
With our restructuring phase behind us, we now have a stable foundation and can look to the future and once again shift our focus to business development and profitable growth. In closing, I would like to thank our employees for their outstanding dedication and our customers and shareholders for their trust.

* Refer to "Relevant reconciliations of non-IFRS alternative performance measures (APMs)" on page 29 of this report for a more detailed description. ** As a result of regulatory changes for the processing of personal data and changes in tools from third-party suppliers for gathering data on online traffic, the data collected during the quarter is not comparable with the year-earlier period. We are therefore no longer presenting data for online traffic ("Number of visits") and the conversion rate since this would result in a misleading and inaccurate view of the development over time.
In the second quarter, the market performed in line with our expectations and improved compared with the year-earlier period. We achieved organic growth in all three business areas and improved our profitability year on year.
We continued to perform well in our largest market of Sweden, which has also made the strongest recovery as a result of favourable underlying macro factors. We also noted robust growth in Norway and Germany during the quarter. Finland delivered a slightly weaker performance, and according to our assessment, demand in the market remains challenging. Sales of furniture and in capital-intensive categories such as bathrooms, doors and windows were particularly strong during the quarter. At the same time, we saw a relatively low level of activity in garden machinery and outdoor furniture since the market was weaker due to the periodically cold weather.
We substantially improved our profitability during the quarter compared with last year by reducing and leveraging our fixed costs, depreciation and amortisation.
• The Group's net sales amounted to SEK 2,744.8 million (2,715.9) for the quarter. Total growth amounted to 1.1% and organic growth to 5.4%, with the difference mainly attributable to IP-Agency, which was divested in the first quarter and is therefore included in the comparative period but not in the outcome for this quarter.
As part of our financial targets, our ambition is to achieve an adjusted EBIT margin of 7% and to grow more than our addressable market. The decisive measures we have taken to reduce our cost base during our restructuring phase in recent years have enabled us to establish a solid foundation. We are the largest consumer-facing e-commerce company in the Nordic region, and thanks to our strategy for profitable growth, we are well positioned to continue consolidating our category leadership and capturing market share in the attractive and growing online markets for DIY, furniture and home furnishings.
We see good opportunities for continued profitable growth, mainly through product range development and international expansion in all three business areas. We currently hold a market-leading position in several of our core categories and see good potential in further consolidating our leading
position in more categories and geographic regions. We are also evaluating both organic initiatives and acquisitions as a means for growth.
During the second quarter, we continued to note favourable effects from our efforts to develop our assortment of proprietary brands, mainly furniture in Value Home, and to increase the availability of stocked products.
We are also seeing favourable effects from our initiatives to achieve geographic expansion outside our companies' home markets, including successful international expansion in Home Improvement.
Cost control has always been a central part of BHG's DNA and remains a central component of our strategy for profitable growth. Thanks to the work carried out during our restructuring phase in recent years, we have reduced our costs, invested in scalable solutions and enhanced our efficiency. We also see good opportunities to further improve our profitability going forward by reducing our costs. In addition to our daily focus on cost control across our operations, we believe that our continued work on consolidation and streamlining will offer the greatest potential.
We have made good progress on our consolidation journey, with the aim of achieving economies of scale. Having previously had 25 operating units in the Group, our goal now is to consolidate these into seven platforms. Six of these platforms are already in place. The remaining consolidation will take place in Home Improvement, focusing on consolidating our Nordic DIY operations through the scalable platform Bygghemma Nordic, with local one-stop-shop destinations within DIY in our Nordic main markets. This is a major project that is expected to lead to significant savings and synergies, and the work will continue over the next 12 months as we balance our resources between structural measures and business development. The structure is now in place for the six platforms already created, and work is now focused on generating sales and cost synergies.
Continuing to streamline, partly by developing the use of artificial intelligence in customer service, content and marketing and through reductions in warehouse space and automation of inventory handling.
Based on available market data, our assessment is that demand improved in the first half of the year compared with the same period last year, mainly due to higher consumer disposable income in a number of our markets. Our assessment is that the market grew in the second quarter, but at a lower rate than in the first quarter. The difference in growth rates between the quarters was mainly attributable to weather and calendar effects. The first quarter was positively impacted by an early spring, while the second quarter was negatively affected by colder weather than the same period last year. At the same time, Easter, which has an overall negative impact on BHG's sales, fell in the second quarter this year rather than in the first quarter as was the case last year.
As at year-end, our assessment is that Sweden has seen the strongest recovery, driven by several favourable underlying macro factors, such as interest rate cuts, lower inflation, tax cuts and a higher rate of housing market activity. We also noted a positive market performance in the rest of the Nordic region, with the exception of Finland, and in Germany during the quarter.
The ROT tax reduction in Sweden has been temporarily increased since May 2025. While we expect this to stimulate demand in our product categories, it is still too early to clearly assess the impact. However, we did note favourable demand in capital-intensive product categories such as bathrooms, floors, doors and windows, which continued to perform well in the second quarter. At the same time, the colder weather in the second quarter softened demand in the gardening category and outdoor furniture.
Our assessment remains unchanged: we expect a continued market recovery in 2025 compared with 2024.
While our outlook is somewhat uncertain due to the current geopolitical situation and US tariff policy, we have also seen positive developments in underlying macro factors in recent quarters, primarily in our largest market of Sweden, which are having a positive impact on demand in our product categories. The increase in real wages and the positive trend in housing transactions continued in the second quarter.
Our assessment is that the long-term fundamental structural trends that have driven BHG's growth journey are continuing. The structural shift from physical stores to online and penetration within the product categories and markets where we operate are still lower than in more mature product markets and geographies. For further information, refer to the Group's financial targets (page 8).
Growing through acquisitions is an important part of our strategy for profitable growth. Going forward, our focus will be on bolt-on acquisitions for our existing platforms – acquisitions that can help strengthen our offering with limited risk.

Net sales growth by country (%), Apr–Jun 2025

* Adjusted for the sale of IP-Agency, net sales growth in Finland amounted to 1%.
Net sales increased 1.1% to SEK 2,744.8 million (2,715.9) for the quarter, of which organic growth accounted for 5.4%
We continued to experience favourable growth in our largest market of Sweden. Of our other major markets, we noted the strongest performance in Norway and Germany, driven by successful geographic expansion. The remaining geographic markets also delivered growth, with the exception of Finland, where the market remains particularly challenging. If the sales performance in Finland is adjusted for the sale of IP-Agency, we achieved marginally positive sales growth in the quarter compared with the year-earlier period.
Sales of furniture were particularly strong during the quarter, mainly due to successful assortment development in Value Home, as were sales in capital-intensive categories such as bathrooms, doors and windows, primarily in Home Improvement. At the same time, we saw a relatively low level of activity in garden machinery and outdoor furniture, for which the market was weaker due to the periodically cold weather compared with the same period last year.

The adjusted product margin amounted to 36.9% (37.6) for the quarter and 37.4% (38.2) for the first half of the year. The adjusted gross margin (that is, the margin after deductions for direct selling costs, such as logistics, fulfilment, etc.) amounted to 25.1% (25.6) for the quarter and 25.2% (26.0) for the first half of the year.
The slightly lower gross margin for the quarter compared with the year-earlier period was mainly attributable to mix effects in Home Improvement since IP-Agency, which has a high product margin due to its large share of proprietary brands and was divested in the first quarter of 2025, is included in the comparative period but not in the outcome for this quarter. Excluding IP-Agency from the comparative period, the product margin was only 0.1 of a percentage point lower than in the year-earlier period. The gross margin was also impacted to a certain extent by high campaign pressure and negative currency effects in Premium Living.
While the three business areas felt the effects of the stronger SEK in different ways, the overall currency effect on the Group was negative during the quarter due to a growing share of sales in foreign currency.
Adjusted for IP-Agency and currency effects, the underlying gross margin in the second quarter is in line with the same period last year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A, defined as total personnel costs and other external costs adjusted for items affecting comparability) declined to SEK -491.6 million (-509.0) for the quarter, corresponding to 17.9% (18.7) of net sales, and to SEK -943.5 million (-962.2) for the first half of the year, corresponding to 19.1% (20.4) of net sales.
The Group's operating income amounted to SEK 131.7 million (-69.5) for the quarter, corresponding to an operating margin of 4.8% (-2.6), and to SEK 181.6 million (-93.2) for the first half of the year, corresponding to an operating margin of 3.7% (- 2.0).
Depreciation, amortisation and impairment of tangible and intangible assets amounted to SEK -106.3 million (-147.7) for the quarter, of which SEK -52.0 million (-84.7) pertains to depreciation, amortisation and impairment of lease assets,
and to SEK -212.4 million (-259.9) for the first half of the year, of which SEK -103.1 million (-143.7) pertains to depreciation of lease assets.
The Group's adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 118.3 million (99.1) for the quarter and SEK 139.6 million (98.5) for the first half of the year, corresponding to an adjusted EBIT margin of 4.3% (3.6) and 2.8% (2.1), respectively.
Items affecting comparability amounted to SEK 36.9 million (-140.7) for the quarter and SEK 89.2 million (-140.7) for the first half of the year. The items were entirely attributable to the dispute with and the sale of IP-Agency, see page 30.
The Group's net financial items amounted to SEK -32.4 million (-44.8) for the quarter and pertained to interest expenses of SEK -30.3 million (-45.0) for the quarter, of which SEK -4.6 million (-4.7) relates to lease liabilities in accordance with IFRS 16. For the first half of the year, the Group's net financial items amounted to SEK -60.7 million (-101.0). Interest expenses amounted to SEK -71.4 million (-95.8), of which SEK -8.9 million (-9.6) relates to lease liabilities in accordance with IFRS 16.
The Group's profit before tax was SEK 99.2 million (-114.3) for the quarter and SEK 120.9 million (-194.2) for the first half of the year. Net income amounted to SEK 91.1 million (-92.8) for the quarter and SEK 120.5 million (-158.3) for the first half of the year. The effective tax rate was 8.2% (18.8) for the quarter, corresponding to SEK -8.2 million (21.5), and 0.3% (18.4) for the first half of the year, corresponding to SEK -0.3 million (35.8). The low effective tax rate during the quarter and during the first half of the year compared to corresponding periods in the previous year is primarily a result of the Group recognizing tax receivables for previously uncapitalized tax losses carried forward and the non-taxable capital gain on the divestment of IP-Agency during the second quarter.
Cash flow from operating activities improved to SEK 363.2 million (327.8) for the quarter and SEK 260.1 million (216.9) for the first half of the year, driven by the Group's EBITDA and a positive effect from changes in working capital. The positive development in working capital reflects both our targeted inventory optimisation activities and the normal seasonal
pattern. Strong demand during the outdoor season in the second quarter typically results in lower inventory levels and temporarily higher accounts payable and VAT, which combined resulted in lower tied-up capital.
Cash conversion (cash flow from operating activities before tax less investments in non-current assets in relation to adjusted EBITDA) was 169.0% (169.9) for the quarter and 71.2% (63.1) for the first half of the year.
The Group's cash flow from and to investing activities amounted to SEK 0.1 million (4.8) for the quarter and SEK - 31.3 million (-25.8) for the first half of the year, and during the period was mainly attributable to the sale of IP-Agency and IT investments related to web platforms.
Cash flow to and from financing activities amounted to SEK -108.2 million (-317.9) for the quarter and SEK -9.8 million (-237.8) for the first half of the year, and was primarily attributable to repayments of lease liabilities and interest payments.
The Group's cash and cash equivalents at the end of the reporting period, compared with the beginning of the year, amounted to SEK 682.1 million (473.0).
The Group's net debt, which is defined as the Group's current and non-current interest-bearing liabilities to credit institutions, less cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, etc., amounted to SEK 1,017.9 million (1,161.2) at the end of the period, corresponding to net debt in relation to pro-forma adjusted EBITDAaL, LTM (see definition on page 39) of 3.02x, which exceeds the Group's medium-term capital structure target.
The Group's unutilised credit facilities amounted to SEK 600 million at the end of the period, compared with SEK 800 million at the beginning of the year.
Continue to deliver organic growth above the addressable market.
Return to an adjusted EBIT margin of 5%. Over time, further improve the adjusted EBIT margin to 7%.
Objective to strengthen the balance sheet and operate with a net debt/EBITDA target of below 2.5x, subject to flexibility for strategic activities.
When free cash flow exceeds available investments in profitable growth, and provided that the capital structure target is met, the surplus will be distributed to shareholders.
"A continued favourable recovery in key categories, such as bathrooms, floors, doors and windows, provided a good foundation for organic growth in the second quarter. The spring season was impacted by weather, resulting in lower demand in the gardening category, which had a slightly negative effect on overall growth. We still consider our important market Finland to be challenging, but we nevertheless managed to achieve organic growth here in the quarter. Our work on streamlining and cost reductions are continuing, partly through the implementation of AI into relevant processes, mergers of warehouses and the consolidation of smaller units," says Mikael Hagman, Deputy CEO and Head of Home Improvement.

The Home Improvement business area accounted for 54% of the Group's total net sales for the quarter. Home Improvement operates almost exclusively in the Nordic market, and is largely based on a drop shipping model with a low level of tied-up capital, featuring a broad product range and price matching. Sweden is its largest market, making up approximately two thirds of the business area's sales in the second quarter.
The leading brand in Home Improvement is Bygghemma.
The focus is on:


* Adjusted for the sale of IP-Agency, net sales growth in Finland amounted to 3%.


Adjusted gross margin (%)

"The focus on sales and marketing activities continued as the market improved. We also concentrated on our assortment and on improved inventory availability. Our efforts are yielding results – organic sales improved decisively compared with last year, with favourable profitability. Sales increased in all categories, particularly in indoor furniture. Sales of outdoor also grew, despite a cold quarter," says Johan Engström, Head of Value Home.

Net sales in the Value Home business area accounted for 27% of the Group's total net sales for the quarter. Sales to customers from countries outside the Nordic region accounted for 35% of the business area's sales in the first quarter.
Value Home operates primarily in the Nordic and Eastern European markets. It is a value-driven model that focuses on offering competitive prices, enabled by private label products and a low cost base.

Adjusted gross margin (%)




"We once again delivered growth in the quarter, despite challenging comparative figures. Combined with a stronger SEK, continued high campaign and price pressure are further pressing the gross margin. Thanks to successful cost reductions, this decline in the gross margin was offset by lower variable and fixed costs, resulting in improved profitability compared with the preceding year," says Bank Bergström, Head of Premium Living.

This report has been prepared by applying the rules of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable regulations contained in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 Interim Reports of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. For the Group and the Parent Company, the same accounting policies and estimation techniques have been applied as in the 2024 Annual Report.
The Group also applies the European Securities and Markets Authority's (ESMA) guidelines for alternative performance measures. Definitions of alternative performance measures can be found in the relevant reconciliations on pages 29-41 of this report. The interim information on pages 1–16 is an integrated part of this financial report.
The Group's operations are impacted by seasonal variations' effect on demand, especially for building products, outdoor furniture and home furnishings. As a rule, demand and thus the Group's sales and cash flow are highest in the second and fourth quarters. Demand in the second quarter is driven by the important gardening season, while demand in the fourth quarter is mainly driven by the Black Week period. Demand and thus the Group's sales are generally lower in the third quarter than in the second and fourth quarters. Demand has historically been lowest in the first quarter. Although seasonal variations do not normally affect the Group's relative earnings and cash flow from year to year, earnings and cash flow may be impacted in years with extremely mild or severe weather conditions, or with very high or low rainfall. Weather conditions may also have a significant impact on individual quarters.

On 22 November 2024, BHG entered into an agreement with the minority owners of IP-Agency giving BHG the right to sell all of the shares in IP-Agency to the minority owners. The minority owners have a corresponding right to purchase all of the shares in IP-Agency from BHG, and IP-Agency was therefore recognised on 31 December 2024 and 31 March 2025 as a disposal group in accordance with IFRS 5.
On 1 April 2025, the sale of 100% of the shares in IP-Agency was completed. The buyer was IPA Holding Oy, a company wholly owned and controlled by the founders of IP-Agency. The consideration of EUR 5.0 million was paid in cash. The divestment of IP-Agency gave rise to an earnings effect of SEK 33.9 million in the second quarter, comprising a transfer of accumulated exchange-rate differences from the translation reserve in equity to the income statement. The net impact of the divestment on the Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 56.3 million.

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position comprise acquisition-related liabilities and currency forwards. The carrying amount for all financial assets and financial liabilities is deemed to be a reasonable approximation of the fair values of the items.
Acquisition-related interest-bearing liabilities pertain to contingent and deferred considerations attributable to the Group's acquisitions and liabilities to non-controlling interests. These are included in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, meaning the level applicable for assets and liabilities that are considered illiquid and difficult to value, and for which inputs for measuring fair value are unobservable inputs in the market. The fair value of contingent considerations is calculated by discounting future cash flows with a risk-adjusted discount interest rate. Expected cash flows are forecast using probable scenarios for future EBITDA levels, amounts that will result from various outcomes and the probability of those outcomes. The table below shows the carrying amounts for the Group's acquisition-related interest-bearing liabilities.

The Group recognises currency forwards at fair value, which as of 30 June 2025 was SEK -0.4 million (0.4), of which SEK 0.0 million (0.4) comprised assets and SEK 0.4 million (0.0) comprised liabilities for the Group. The currency forwards are measured based on a discount comprising the difference between the contracted forward rate and the actual forward rate for a currency forward maturing on the same date. This measurement is included in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Transactions between BHG Group AB and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. All transactions between related parties have been conducted on commercial terms, on an arm's length basis. As of June 2024, Joanna Hummel is a member of the Board of Directors of the subsidiary Nordic Nest Group AB and receives an annual director fee of SEK 150,000 for this work.
There are several strategic, operational and financial risks and uncertainties that can affect the Group's financial results and position. Most risks can be managed through internal procedures, while others are largely driven by external factors. There are risks and uncertainties related to IT and management systems, suppliers, season and weather variations and exchange rates, while other risks and uncertainties may also arise in the case of new competition, changed market conditions or changed consumer behaviour for online sales. The Group is also exposed to interest-rate risk.
Other than the changes below, no significant changes to the Group's risks and uncertainties are deemed to have taken place compared with what is stated on pages 28–29 of the 2024 Annual Report.

Some of the data stated in this report, as used by management and analysts for assessing the Group's development, is not defined in accordance with IFRS. Management is of the opinion that this data makes it easier for investors to analyse the Group's development, for the reasons stated below. Investors should regard this data as a complement rather than a replacement for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS. The Group's definitions of these performance measures may differ from similarly named measures reported by other companies.
Adjusted EBIT corresponds to operating income excluding amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets, gains/losses on sales of non-current assets and, where applicable, items affecting comparability. In other words, adjusted EBIT, in accordance with the accounting rules, includes all depreciation and amortisation of tangible and intangible assets attributable to the business. The difference between adjusted EBIT and EBIT is that the amortisation which arises as a result of the accounting treatment of purchase price allocations in conjunction with acquisitions is added back to adjusted EBIT.
Using the estimation technique for adjusted EBIT facilitates the understanding of the Group's earnings and profit, since adjusted EBIT provides a correct picture of the Group's operating income, without deduction of the accounting-related amortisation arising due to the acquisition analyses in conjunction with the acquisitions (which are not related to the underlying operations). Furthermore, the measure simplifies peer comp analysis of companies that do not make acquisitions, while analysis and assessment of acquisition candidates becomes clearer and more transparent, since their EBIT contribution will then correspond to their actual contribution to the Group after consolidation. It is also important to note that the effect of acquisitions is already reflected in the Group's capital structure and net debt, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices.
Adjusted gross profit and adjusted EBITDA correspond to gross profit and EBITDA adjusted for items affecting comparability.

Management is of the opinion that because the Group's actual net debt/net cash corresponds to the Group's non-current and current interest-bearing liabilities to credit institutions less cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, etc. and transaction fees, other non-current and current interest-bearing liabilities should be excluded. The Group's other non-current and current interest-bearing liabilities consist of acquisition-related liabilities, which are subject to an implicit interest expense. Lease liabilities reflect the balance sheet effects of IFRS 16.

| Pro-forma adjusted EBITDAaL, LTM |
LTM adjusted EBITDA with the following adjustments: less depreciation of right-of-use • assets and interest on lease liabilities under IFRS 16 (or "Adjusted EBITDA after leases"), less net profit/loss for the period • attributable to legal minority stakes in subsidiaries, regardless of whether or not the Group recognises a net profit/loss for the period for the minority stake (for the Group's policies for the recognition of put options to non controlling interests, refer to section 2.3.3. in Note 2 of the Annual Report), plus Adjusted EBITDAaL for • acquired operations as though the acquired operations had been included in the consolidated income statement for the entire LTM period but not for the comparative period (pro-forma adjustment). For divested operations, a corresponding adjustment is made, meaning that adjusted EBITDAaL for the divested companies is excluded as though the divested companies were not included in the consolidated income statement for the entire LTM period but were included in the comparative period. |
Pro-forma adjusted EBITDAaL, LTM is a performance measure used to facilitate transparency and comparisons between periods by excluding items affecting comparability, correcting for acquired and divested operations and net profit/loss for the period attributable to legal minority stakes in subsidiaries, and including all leases as an operating expense rather than as depreciation/amortisation and interest in accordance with IFRS 16. The performance measure is also used as a denominator for Net debt (+) / Net cash (-) in relation to Pro-forma adjusted EBITDAaL, LTM. As of 1 January 2024, BHG has adjusted the definition of the measure by now deducting net profit/loss for the period attributable to legal minority interests in subsidiaries. Previously, BHG adjusted for acquired and divested operations and the current amendment makes the calculation more consistent. Furthermore, the new definition is in line with the calculation of the Group's fulfilment of the covenants in the financing agreement. |

Adjusted gross profit gives an indication of the contribution margin in the operations. |
| Items affecting comparability |

Items affecting comparability include capital gains and losses on divestments, costs related to material downsizing, restructuring with action plans designed to restructure a major part of the operations, material impairment and other material non-recurring costs and revenue. |
Items affecting comparability is a term used to describe items which, when excluded, show the Group's earnings excluding items which, by nature, are of a non-recurring nature in the operating activities. |

Operating cash conversion enables the Group to monitor management of its ongoing investments and working capital. |
| Net sales growth | Annual growth in net sales calculated as a comparison with the preceding year and expressed as a percentage. |

| Equity/assets ratio | Equity, including non-controlling interests, as a percentage of total assets. |
This performance measure reflects the company's financial position and thus its long-term solvency. A favourable equity/assets ratio and strong financial position enable the Group to handle periods with a weak economic situation and provide the financial strength for growth. A lower equity/assets ratio entails a higher financial risk, but also higher financial leverage. |
