CEO comment

Since day 1 back in 2011 the goal has been to create The Nordic Department Store. An online version of the classic department store we all know. Curated as before, but not limited by physical constraints, locations nor geographies.

To realise our ambition, we have over the years launched our categories Kids, Sport, Beauty and Home alongside the Women's and Men's fashion. We have always believed that the expansion of categories is a good hedge towards changes in consumer behaviour and the development in the past two years supports this. Take occasion wear as an example. Both women and men have been buying less occasion wear, but we have not been impacted to a great extent, as we have been able to sell much more Kids, Sport, Beauty and Home. This is the reason why we have accelerated our growth and why we have a higher profitability than most, if not all, of our peers.

We have not achieved our goal yet, but we believe that we have laid the foundation. I am quite confident that we now have categories that are becoming destinations in their own rights. We believe that this is important because it provides a unique potential for value creation differentiating us from our peers.

The evidence is present with our average order value being best in class along with superior unit economics and not least the increase of our addressable market that the category expansion has provided. Although we still have a lot to improve, we have taken some important steps in the right direction, and we will continue to develop our business model further but with the same ambition as always.

Most importantly, the execution of our Nordic Department Store strategy is showing in the numbers. In 2021 we achieved net revenue growth of 33.4% with an acceleration in the fourth quarter with 38.1% growth. Growth was strong across our universe, but most notably in our adjacent categories. The Home category launched late 2020 was the last missing piece of the puzzle and has experienced tremendous growth in 2021, exceeding our expectations also in term of profitability.

The fact that Kids, Sport, Beauty and Home continued to take a larger share of sales benefitted our return rate which dropped with more than 2 percentage points for the full year compared to 2020 and close to 9 percentage points versus 2019.

Customers have really started to buy into the concept of The Nordic Department Store and we see a gradual increase in the number of baskets containing items from multiple categories. In 2021 more than 40% of all orders contained items from two or more categories and we see a general trend of customers adding more items per basket to the benefit of our average order value. The high average

order value is one of the most important pillars of our business model and something we will protect and develop without compromise.

During the year we have managed to grow our active customer base with more than 500,000 and the cohorts from 2020 have displayed similar buying patterns as our historic cohorts. More importantly, we have succeeded in keeping our new and existing customers happy with the service and selection resulting in an all-time high net promotor score of 79 at the end of the year along with a stable 5-star rating on Trustpilot.

We have throughout 2021 intensified our focus on communicating our key priorities. The number one priority remains net revenue growth by continuing to make significant investments in marketing, fulfillment capacity and organisational capabilities to ensure further scale and market share gains. Secondly, we will aim for profitability at a level that will enable us to deliver a free cash flow sufficient to fund our growth journey. In 2021 we delivered a solid adjusted EBIT margin of 5.9% despite increased investments into marketing and organisational capacity and capabilities.

Our expectations for 2022 are ambitious and we expect to continue the diversification of our business by an increased focus on building our adjacent categories to become destinations by themselves. We will continue our focus on profitable growth by investing in new customers and further building our brand to cement our position as a Nordic household brand. The outlook for 2022 is to achieve net revenue growth of 20-25%.

Finally, we reconfirm our 2023 ambition in terms of profitability and expect an adjusted EBIT margin between 5% and 7%. We believe that reinvesting parts of our underlying margin improvements in an even stronger customer experience over the coming years will drive further market share gains and best-in-class growth rates, maximizing the value of the company when overall online market growth slows, and our attractive unit economics will drive the operating margin towards our long-term double-digit ambition.

Net revenue

Fourth quarter

Net revenue in the fourth quarter increased with 38.1% to SEK 1,967.9 million (1,425.1). Currency had a marginal positive impact on net revenue growth in the fourth quarter of around 0.3 percentage points and relates primarily to the strengthening NOK/SEK compared to the fourth quarter last year.

The momentum for online shopping gained in 2020 fuelled by the corona pandemic has continued in 2021 with a high structural growth towards online in the Nordics. The net revenue growth was supported by a continued high investment in new customers and significant stock-building activities to have the most relevant customer offer along with the acquisition of Rosemunde.

The net revenue increase was supported by 36.1% growth for Boozt.com and 52.3% growth for Booztlet.com.

Other revenue (included in net revenue) was up in the fourth quarter, driven by increased marketing income from brand partners utilizing Boozt Media Partnership and the launch of BooztPay on Boozt.com.

Full year

Net revenue in the period increased with 33.4% to SEK 5,813.8 million (4,359.3). Currency had a negative impact on net revenue growth for the period of around 1.7 percentage points and relates primarily to the weakening of DKK and EUR to SEK compared to last year.

Gross profit

Fourth quarter

The gross profit increased with 31.7% to SEK 807.6 million (613.2) during the quarter. The gross margin decreased to 41.0% (43.0).

The decrease is mainly related to a higher level of campaign buys last year resulting in an increased product margin. Last year's availability of campaign stock was unique, and the situation has normalized in 2021.

Full year

The gross profit increased with 32.9% to SEK 2,351.6 million (1,769.4) during 2021. The gross margin was on level with last year at 40.4% (40.6).

Operating costs

Fourth quarter

The fulfilment cost ratio increased to 12.1% (11.0). Temporary diseconomies of scale due to tight capacity in our fulfilment operations have continued because of higher-than-expected growth. There is a continued focus on expanding our fulfillment capacity to accommodate 20+% growth for the foreseeable future.

The marketing cost ratio was on level with last year at 10.2% (10.1) with a continued high marketing spend to attract new customers.

The admin & other cost ratio decreased to 10.4% (12.4).

The adjusted admin & other cost ratio decreased to 8.8% (9.7). In 2020 the adjusted admin & other cost ratio was impacted by a discretionary bonus of total SEK 10 million (SEK 20,000 to all employees) during the fourth quarter, as well as a write-down of a part of the Norwegian customs receivable in the level of SEK 12 million. The adjustment in the quarter consisted of share-based payments for the Group's LTI Programs of SEK 31.5 million (29.7) related to social charges and IFRS 2 costs.

The depreciation cost ratio was on level with last year at 2.4% (2.3) due to increased investments that accelerated through the year and is related to the fulfilment services.

The adjusted depreciation cost ratio increased to 2.4% (2.3).

Full year

The fulfilment cost ratio increased to 11.8% (11.6). The increase was due to tight capacity leading to increase in manual processes which was partly offset by improved distribution costs along with gains from insourcing of fulfilment operations.

The marketing cost ratio increased to 10.5% (9.9) driven by a continued high marketing spend to attract new customers and an extraordinary low cost of external marketing services in the second quarter of 2020 due to the pandemic.

The admin & other cost ratio decreased to 10.8% (11.2). Throughout the year investments have been made to secure organisational capacity to continue gaining market share and further develop our business model.

The adjusted admin & other cost ratio was on level with last year at 9.4% (9.6). The adjustment for the period consisted of sharebased payments for the Group's LTI Programs of SEK 78.0 million (64.0) related to social charges and IFRS 2 costs.

The depreciation cost ratio decreased to 2.9% (3.7). The Group decided to close the Beauty by Boozt store in Copenhagen during the first quarter of 2020 and to use an exit-clause in the lease contract. The decision to close the store resulted in oneoff costs affecting the depreciation costs in the first quarter 2020 of SEK 34.2 million in impairment of the remaining lease asset and a write-down of fixtures and inventory.

The adjusted depreciation cost ratio was on level with last year at 2.9% (2.9).

The adjusted depreciation cost for the first quarter 2020 was negatively impacted by SEK 5.5 million due to the revaluation of the Beauty by Boozt lease contract to include an 18-month penalty fee for using the exit-clause.

Adjusted EBIT

Fourth quarter

Adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 149.5 million (140.7) in the fourth quarter. The adjusted EBIT margin decreased with 2.3 percentage points to 7.6% (9.9). The decrease is mainly related to the extraordinary high product margin last year due to access to higher than usual campaign buys.

Total adjustments in the quarter amounted to SEK 31.5 million (38.6) and consisted fully of share-based payments. The fourth quarter in 2020 was impacted by listing costs of SEK 7.5 million due to the dual listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen and additional cost for the closure of the Beauty by Boozt store in Copenhagen of SEK 1.5 million.

Share-based payments fluctuates between periods since the probability of the number of vested options under the program is dynamic, as well as the provision for social charges are determined by the company´s share price.

Full year

Adjusted EBIT increased to SEK 342.5 million (290.3) for the period. The adjusted EBIT margin decreased with 0.8 percentage points to 5.9% (6.7). The decrease is driven by a continued high marketing spend to attract new customers and an extraordinary low cost of external marketing services in the second quarter of 2020 due to the pandemic.

The comparison period was affected by one-off costs for closure of the Beauty by Boozt store in Copenhagen of total SEK 35.1 million.

EBIT

Fourth quarter

EBIT increased to SEK 117.9 million (102.0) in the fourth quarter, while the EBIT margin decreased 1.2 percentage points to 6.0% (7.2).

Negatively impacting EBIT compared to adjusted EBIT in the period was a cost of SEK 31.5 million from share-based payments.

Full year

EBIT increased to SEK 264.5 million (182.3) for the period, while the EBIT margin increased 0.3 percentage points to 4.5% (4.2).

Negatively impacting EBIT compared to adjusted EBIT in the period was a cost of SEK 78.0 million from share-based payments.

Financial items

Fourth quarter

The Group's financial costs amounted to SEK -7.3 million (-3.0). The increase is driven by net change in fair value of liability to non-controlling interest of SEK -2.0 million, for more explanation see note 3 and 5. Remaining financial items are attributable to interests on loans and lease liabilities. Net financial items amounted to SEK -7.3 million (-3.0).

Full year

Financial costs for the period amounted to SEK -19.8 million (-12.0) million. Net financial items amounted to SEK -19.5 million (-11.9).

Tax

Fourth quarter

The effective tax rate for the period was 19.2% (14.1), which is in line with the current tax rate for the parent company of 20.6%.

Full year

Tax costs for the period amounted to SEK -49.8 million (-37.6). The effective tax rate for the full year was 20.3% compared to 22.0% last year.

Full year

Earnings for the period totalled SEK 195.2 million (132.8). Earnings per share before dilution amounted to SEK 2.87 (2.27). Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 2.81 (2.21).

Working capital

The Group realised a net working capital of SEK 277.0 million (73.8) equivalent to 4.8% (1.7) of the net revenue for the last twelve months. The increase to 4.8% was driven by increased capital tied up in inventory. The fourth quarter last year were characterized by a low availability of stock on the market due to a high sell-through of the seasonal stock. The stock position increased with 38.9% compared to Dec 31, 2020. Delivery of the SS22 season started in November 2021 and is going according to plan providing us with a confident stock position going into the first half of 2022.

Net debt / net cash

The Group's net cash (-) decreased to SEK -602.9 million (-1,006.2). The decrease was driven by liability to non-controlling interest of SEK 119.3 million from the Rosemunde acquisition, as well as cash flow for the year and interest-bearing liabilities.

Cash position

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to SEK 1,564.9 million (1,714.5).

Lease liabilities

Lease liabilities (current and non-current) has decreased to SEK 469.3 (491.0), driven by amortization of the exit-fee for closing the Copenhagen store in 2022.

Interest-bearing liabilities

Interest-bearing liabilities (current and non-current) has increased to SEK 373.3 million (217.3), driven by new loans for financing of the AutoStore investments.

Non-current assets

Non-current assets increased to SEK 1,484.2 million (878.0). The increase compared to last year was mainly driven by trademark and goodwill deriving from acquisition of operations and new AutoStore expansions at the fulfilment centre, which has effectively increased our capacity with 40+%.

Equity

Equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent company increased to SEK 2,176.5 million (1,908.1), driven by proceeds obtained from share capital increases in connection with exercises of warrants under the Group's long-term incentive programs. Put option issued to non-controlling interest for future acquisition of non-controlling interest has been recognised as a financial liability and has reduced equity with SEK 115.1 million, which has been offset by equity attributable to non-controlling interest amounting to SEK 114.6 million. Total equity amounted to SEK 2,297.7 million (1,908.1).

Cash flow

Fourth quarter

Cash flow for the period amounted to SEK 337.9 million (656.5), driven by cash flow from operating activities.

Full year

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 405.6 million (100.3) in the quarter. The quarter was positively impacted by a positive cash flow from changes in working capital, driven by changes in goods inventory from stock-building activities in the previous quarter.

Full year

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 241.8 million (747.3) for the full year. Cash flow from changes in working capital during last year was positive impacted by the accelerated online migration at the outbreak of COVID-19. Last year the Group didn't have enough stock in the end of the year due to a high sellthrough and compensated it partly by an increased level of campaign goods, products with a higher turnover rate. Negative cash flow from changes in goods inventory was partly offset by cash flow from changes in current liabilities.

Cash flow from investments

Fourth quarter

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -78.4 million (-74.4), driven by further investments in AutoStore expansions where the fifth/sixth expansion phase were finalized.

Full year

Year-to-date, the cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -606.9 million (-150.8). The negative cash flow is mainly originating from the acquisitions of the Danish fashion company Rosemunde and the long-time Lithuanian tech-partner Estina, as well as AutoStore expansions at the fulfilment centre. The investments in AutoStore are related to the finalization of the fourth- and combined fifth/sixth expansion phases and the initiation of the seventh expansion phase.

Cash flow from financing

Fourth quarter

Cash flow from financing activities during the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 10.7 million (630.6). Last year quarter were impacted by the capital increase in connection with the dual listing in Copenhagen.

Full year

Cash flow from financing activities year-to-date amounted to SEK 216.0 million (779.4). The year was positively impacted by proceeds obtained from the exercises of warrants under the Group's LTI Programs and new loans from financing of the AutoStore investments, partly offset by repayment of existing AutoStore loans and lease liabilities.

Net revenue

Net revenue increased with 52.3% to SEK 270.0 million (177.3) in the quarter. Booztlet continued to accelerate investments to further build the brand in Nordics, as well outside Nordics and has increased offline marketing efforts compared to last year. On a two-year stack Booztlet grew 239% in the fourth quarter.

Booztlet benefitted last year from an exceptionally high access to campaign goods as well as large parts of Boozt.com stock in the wake of the pandemic. During 2021 the situation normalised and returned to pre pandemic patterns.

Net revenue increased with 51.2% to SEK 875.6 million in 2021 (579.0). Measured on a two-year stack Booztlet managed to grow 235% compared to 2019.

Adjusted EBIT & EBIT

Adjusted EBIT decreased to SEK 8.8 million (20.5) in the quarter, while the adjusted EBIT margin decreased to 3.3% (11.6). Most of the decrease is related to a lower product margin in the fourth quarter of 2021 with an unfavourable inventory mix. In addition, last year was positively impacted due to the extraordinary access to campaign buys.

Significant events after the reporting date

Acquisition of the remaining shares in Rosemunde

Boozt has as of January 24, 2022 acquired the remaining 33.3% of the shares of everyday Luxury Feeling A/S to take full ownership of the company. By taking full ownership, Boozt expects to accelerate the positive development of Rosemunde and to further develop the Brand Hub organisation to drive a successful expansion of acquired brands like Svea. The transaction was made at an enterprise value of DKK 275 million on a cash and debt free basis and has been financed through own cash.

Transfer to Large Cap

From January 3, 2022, Boozt AB (publ) is a part of the Nasdaq Large Cap segment for companies with a market value above EUR 1 billion. The Boozt share was previously traded on Nasdaq Mid Cap.

Positive profit warning

Boozt issued a positive profit warning on 1 February 2022 announcing net revenue growth and adjusted EBIT margin for 2021 ahead of previously announced outlook. The deviation to expectations came from higher-than-expected sales in December and significantly lower returns from Black Week as well as Christmas shopping, which had extended return until January 31, 2022.

Employees

Number of employees was 1,296 (439) at the end of the period equivalent to an increase of 195% due to the take-over of fulfilment staff at the Boozt Fulfilment Centre, additional staff at the HQ as well as staff joining from recent M&A transactions. The average number of employees was 1,198 (424) for the quarter equivalent to an increase of 182%.

Seasonal variances

Seasonal variances affect the Group since purchases are cyclical and inventories are built up before each season. However, each quarter is comparable between years. Traditionally the fourth quarter has the highest net revenue, whereas the first quarter has the lowest. Inventory levels in the industry can be affected by an early or late start to the season impacting the promotional activities needed to clear inventory. To illustrate the long-term development trend the Group reports rolling twelve months' figures, where applicable.

Important estimates and assessments

Preparation of the financial reports in accordance with IFRS requires management to make assessments and estimates and assumptions that affect application of the accounting policies and the recognised amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated. Changes in estimates are recognised in the period the change is made if the change only affected that period or in the period the change is made and in future periods if the change affects both current and future periods.

Important estimates and assessments are disclosed in the 2020 Annual Report on page 135. The group has recognised a financial liability of SEK 119.3 million related to a put-option that the Group has issued to non-controlling interest in Everyday Luxury Feeling A/S. The value of the liability of SEK 119.3 million, is measured at the discounted present value of the estimated future strike price. More information can be found in note 3 and note 5.

No other changes have been made to these estimates or assessments which could have a material impact on the interim report.

Note 5 - Acquisitions

Rosemunde

Boozt acquired 66.7 % of the shares in the danish fashion brand Rosemunde (via Everyday Luxury Feeling A/S) on July 1, 2021 with an agreement to acquire the remaining shares in three phases until 2026 at the same EV/EBIT multiple as used in the transaction of 7.5x EV/EBIT. The transaction multiple was based on EBIT for the financial year 2020. The transaction was made at an enterprise value of DKK 250 million on a cash and debt free basis and has been financed through the Group's cash. Rosemunde is an established lifestyle brand retailing online and in more than 1,000 select shops and department stores worldwide and have personnel of around 30 employees. As an effect of the acquisition, the Group has recognised equity attributable to non-controlling interest in Rosemunde. The option issued to non-controlling interest that entitle the Group to acquire the remaining shares in the future has been recognised as a liability and has been classified as a separate transaction with the non-controlling interest. The initial value of the liability of SEK 115.1 million at the time of the acquisition, is measured at the discounted present value of the estimated future strike price and has reduced the Group's equity. Rosemunde has been included in the consolidated financial statement from July 1, 2021 and is expected to contribute with ~1% to the FY2021 net revenue growth of the Boozt group and to have limited impact on the net working capital and capex. The transaction has not impacted the current outlook for 2021.

As of January 24, 2022 the Group has utilized the option and acquired the remaining shares in Everyday Luxury Feeling A/S to take full ownership of the company. The transaction was made at an enterprise value of DKK 275 million on a cash and debt free basis and has been financed through own cash.

Estina

On June 2, the Group announced the acquisition of its longstanding technology partner Estina (via Estina Group UAB). The acquisition was a strategic investment to secure scalable platform and frictionless online experience. Boozt has engaged Estina continuously since 2010 and the close partnership has been crucial to building tech solutions tailored to the business. After the acquisition, the Estina team of more than 30 developers will continue to be based in Vilnius while fully integrating with Boozt and eventually changing name to Boozt Technology Baltics. The acquisition has had a minor financial impact. Acquired net assets on acquisition date* 99.5

Review Report BOOZT AB (PUBL), CORP. ID: 556793-5183

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim report for Boozt AB (publ) for the period January 1 – December 31, 2021. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the 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 Financial Information 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 has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

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

Definitions and rationale for the use of certain Alternative Performance Measures (APM)

The full year report contains certain performance measures that are not defined in accordance with IFRS (alternative performance measures). The performance measures included are used by investors, securities analysts and other stakeholders as additional measures of performance and financial position. The Group's alternative performance measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measurements presented by other companies and have certain limitations as analytical tools. They should therefore not be considered separately from, or as a substitute for, the Group's financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Definitions, calculations, and rationale behind the use of included alternative performance measures are available on the Group's website www.booztgroup.com/reports-and-presentations, "Q4 Report 2021" – "Key financials".
