BOOZT GROUP
We turned the challenges of 2022 into an opportunity resulting in outstanding financial results. During the year, we have made tremendous progress on further cementing our position as the leading Nordic Department Store displayed in the increasing average order value, stable return rates and continued high customer satisfaction.
Income statement and cash flow items are compared with the corresponding year-earlier period. Balance sheet items refer to the position at the end of the period and are compared with the corresponding year earlier period, meaning December 31, 2021. The fourth quarter refers to the period October - December 2022.
Net revenue in the fourth quarter increased 23.9% to SEK 2,438.1 million (1,967.9). Currency had a positive impact on net revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 5.5 percentage points and mainly relates to the strengthening of DKK and EUR compared to SEK in the fourth quarter last year.
Consumer sentiment and inflationary pressure continued to impact demand during the quarter. On top, the industry was impacted by elevated inventory levels all in all leading to an increased promotional environment.
The continued execution of our Nordic Department Store strategy enabled us to accelerate market share gains despite the aforementioned challenges. The trend of customers putting more items in the basket continued in the quarter supporting a sustainable high average order value and at the same time return rates continued to be on par with last year.
Due to the successful sales development we managed to improve sellthrough of the Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter 2022 collections compared to 2021, ensuring a strong and healthy inventory position at the end of the year.
The net revenue increase was driven by 22.4% growth for Boozt.com and 33.1% for Booztlet.com.
Other revenue (included in net revenue) increased to SEK 85.4 million (67.4) in the fourth quarter, mainly driven by the continued growth of Boozt Media Partnership and BooztPay. Other revenue is revenue not directly related to product sales, and include income from Boozt Media Partnership, BooztPay as well as breakage from gift cards.
For the full year net revenue increased 16.0% to SEK 6,743.4 million (5,813.8). Currency had a positive impact on net revenue growth for the full year of 3.9 percentage points and relates to the strengthening of DKK, NOK and EUR compared to SEK last year.
Net revenue in the Nordics increased 25.2% in the fourth quarter driven by a strong performance across all markets. Rest of Europe saw an increase in revenue of 9.3%, impacted positively by the recent expansion into the Baltics however offset by the rationalisation of marketing efforts in Germany. For the full year net revenue in the Nordics increased 16.5% and Rest of Europe increased 10.0%. In 2022, the most significant markets in terms of net revenue were Denmark and Sweden accounting for 34.0% and 33.7% of total net revenue respectively.

The gross profit increased 15.5% to SEK 933.1 million (807.6) in the quarter. The gross margin decreased compared to last year at 38.3% (41.0).
The gross margin was negatively impacted in the quarter by increased promotional activity both in the industry and for the company. Continued pressure on consumers' disposable income and elevated inventories in the industry were the main drivers of the increased promotional activity. The superior unit economics of the Nordic Department Store allowed a high promotional pressure while delivering healthy profitability.
For the full year 2022 gross profit increased 13.4% to SEK 2,666.8 million (2,351.6). The gross margin decreased to 39.5% (40.4).
The fulfilment cost ratio in the fourth quarter was 10.5% (12.1). During the quarter productivity improvements accelerated due to several operational initiatives along with a positive impact from the increasing average order value. Further, the shortage of capacity that impacted operations negatively in 2021 and start of 2022 has improved significantly with the investments into expansion of our automated capacity. Year-to-date the fulfilment cost ratio decreased to 11.3% (11.8).
The marketing cost ratio increased to 10.7% (10.2) in the quarter to continue building on our online and offline presence in our core markets, leading to accelerated market share gains Our business continues to be managed based on the core principle of a profitable and sustainable customer acquisition cost (CAC) and customer-lifetime-value (CLV) with a payback between 16-18 months. Year-to-date the marketing cost ratio increased to 11.0% (10.5).
The admin & other cost ratio decreased to 8.2% (10.4). The ratio was positively impacted by the right-sizing of the organisation during the summer and the increased scale effects from the acceleration in net revenue. With effect from July 1, 2022, the company reduced staffing corresponding to a monthly saving of approximately SEK 3 million. The cost of redundancy payments was incurred in June 2022 and amounted to SEK 9.5 million. Part of the savings were earmarked for salary negotiations with existing staff which took effect from September 1, 2022. Year-to-date the admin & other cost ratio decreased to 10.2% (10.8).
The adjusted admin & other cost ratio decreased to 7.7% (8.8). Year-to-date the adjusted admin & other cost ratio increased slightly to 9.7% (9.4).
The deprecation cost ratio was at the same level as last year at 2.4% (2.4) despite the significant investments in 2021 and 2022 to increase our automated fulfilment capacity to support growth and best in class lead time to customers. As per January 2023 the latest expansion of our automated warehouse capacity was taken into operation increasing depreciations and we expect to gradually grow into the current excess capacity over the next couple of years. Year-to-date the depreciation cost ratio increased to 3.3% (2.9).
Adjusted EBIT increased in the fourth quarter to SEK 170.4 million (149.5). The adjusted EBIT margin was slightly below last year at 7.0% (7.6) due to the higher than usual promotional activity impacting gross margin. Year-todate adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 285.6 million (342.5). The adjusted EBIT margin decreased with 1.7 percentage points to 4.2% (5.9) driven by the high promotional activity in the market during 2022 due to the mix of elevated inventory levels and inflationary pressure on consumers disposable income.
Total adjustments in the quarter amounted to SEK 12.8 million (31.5) and consisted mainly of share-based payments. Year-to-date adjustments amounted to SEK 32.5 million (78.0). Adjustments include share-based payments of SEK 17.4 million and an adjustment of SEK 15.1 million for non-recurring items mainly related to the right-sizing of the organisation end of June 2022 to reflect the business environment at the time as well as growth opportunities.
Share-based payments fluctuate between periods since the probability of the number of vested options or shares under the program is dynamic, as well as the provision for social charges are determined by the company's share price.
For a reconciliation of adjusted EBIT, please visit the Group's website www.booztgroup.com/reports-and-presentations, "Q4 Report 2022" – "Key financials".
EBIT increased to SEK 157.6 million (117.9) in the fourth quarter, while the EBIT margin increased 0.5 percentage points to 6.5% (6.0). EBIT was positively impacted by scale benefits and productivity improvements in cost ratios for fulfilment and admin & other.
Negatively impacting EBIT compared to adjusted EBIT in the fourth quarter was a cost of SEK 12.8 million mainly related to share-based payments.
Year-to-date EBIT decreased to SEK 253.1 million (264.5), while the EBIT margin decreased to 3.8% (4.5%).
The Group's financial costs for the period amounted to SEK -2.2 million (-7.3) and are mainly attributable to interests on loan and lease liabilities. The financial costs were driven by interest on new loans for financing of the expansion of AutoStore at the fulfilment centre and recent interest rate hikes, however, largely offset by the positive interest on our cash position. Last year the Group recognised a change in fair value of put option liability to non-controlling interest of SEK -1.9, which the Group doesn't have anymore. Financial costs year-to-date was SEK -17.0 million (-19.5).
Income tax for the period amounted to SEK -32.0 million (-21.2). The Group's effective tax rate for the period was 20.6% (19.2). Year-to-date, the income tax amounted to SEK -50.0 (-49.8), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 21.2% (20.3).
Earnings for the period totaled SEK 123.3 million (89.5). Earnings per share before dilution amounted to SEK 1.83 (1.31). Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 1.81 (1.29). Earnings year-to-date amounted to SEK 186.1 million (195.2). Earnings per share before dilution amounted to SEK 2.76 (2.87). Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 2.73 (2.81).
The net working capital of the Group amounted to SEK -109.1 million (277.0), equivalent to -1.6% (4.8) of the net revenue for the last twelve months. The inventory position developed positively during the quarter and the Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter 2022 sell-through improved compared to 2021.
The Group's net cash amounted to SEK -668.4 million (-602.9). The increased net cash position was positively impacted by a positive free cash flow for the year, partly offset by the acquisition of Rosemunde and increased loans to finance the AutoStore expansion at the fulfilment centre.
The Group has prolonged its existing revolving credit facility agreement with Danske Bank for 1 year. The credit facility amounts to SEK 200 million and will expire in February 2025. In addition, the Group has access to overdraft facilities of around SEK 85 million.
Cash and cash equivalents increased to SEK 1,777.2 million (1,564.9), driven by a strong cash conversion in the fourth quarter leading to a positive free cash flow for the year.
Lease liabilities (current and non-current) increased compared with last year and amounted to SEK 538.5 million (469.3). The increase is related to additional contracts to increase footprint of the fulfilment centre as well as the Group's headquarter, and was partly offset by repayment of lease liabilities.
Interest-bearing liabilities (current and non-current) increased to SEK 570.1 million (373.3). The increase was attributable to new loans for financing the expansion phases of AutoStore at the Fulfilment Centre.
Non-current assets increased to SEK 1,992.1 million (1.484.2). The increase compared to last year was mainly driven by AutoStore expansions at the fulfilment centre, which has effectively increased our capacity by more than 40%.
Equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent company increased to SEK 2,502.6 million (2,176.5). The change was driven by net profit and share-based payments, recognised within equity.
Cash flow for the quarter amounted to SEK 751.0 million (337.9) driven by increasing profits and favourable changes to working capital. Year-to-date cash flow amounted to SEK 209.9 million (-149.0).
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 832.8 million (405.6), where the acceleration in sales during the fourth quarter resulted in an improved sell through of the Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter seasons 2022 contributed positively to changes in working capital. Year-to-date cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 805.4 million (241.8).
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -102.6 million (-78.4) as the last part of the Group's latest AutoStore expansion was finalised during the fourth quarter. Year-to-date cash flow from investment amounted to SEK -715.2 million (-606.9), driven by the AutoStore investments and the buy-out of the remaining 33.3% of the shares in Rosemunde.
New loans amounted to SEK 69.0 million (67.2), with the last part of the Group's latest AutoStore expansion finalised during the quarter. Loan repayments amounted to -27.8 (-37.7). Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 20.9 million (10.7) for the quarter. Year-to-date cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 119.7 million (216.0) impacted by the financing of the latest AutoStore expansions and higher repayments of subsequent loans.

Net revenue increased 22.4% to SEK 2,078.6 million (1,697.9) in the quarter. The net revenue growth was positively impacted by currency effects from the strengthening of DKK, NOK and EUR compared to SEK during the fourth quarter last year.
The overall market for apparel in the Nordics has been challenged by weaker consumer sentiment. The promotional activities in the market increased during the fourth quarter, fuelled by high industry inventory levels.
The acceleration in sales was driven by a strong performance across categories and countries.Further, the return rate was on par with last year supported by the continued growth of the adjacent categories and continued improvements to our Fair Use initiative. The number of active customers was on par with last year as new customer intake slowed during 2022 impacted by the historic low consumer confidence driven by pressure on disposable income.
Average order value increased 14.2% to a new historic high of SEK 956 (837). The continued execution of the Nordic Department Store strategy resulted in a further diversification of sales benefiting the number of items per basket and a structurally lower return rate driven largely by continued efforts with the Fair Use initiative. Further, the average order value was positively impacted by currency effects compared to last year.
True frequency was in line with last year at 5.8 (5.9) with cohorts displaying similar buying patterns as our historic cohorts. Customer satisfaction remained at a high level displayed by our Trustpilot score of 4.4 (4.5) and
our Net Promoter Score of 74 (79). The Net Promoter Score declined during the fourth quarter compared to the historic high last year, but still well above the historical average around 70.
For the full year net revenue increased 13.6% to SEK 5,610.4 million (4,938.2).
Adjusted EBIT increased to SEK 169.6 million (140.7) in the quarter, while the adjusted EBIT margin was on par with last year at 8.2% (8.3).
The adjustment in the quarter amounted to SEK 11.2 million (27.6) and consisted mainly of share-based payments.
The increase in adjusted EBIT is mainly related to scale benefits from the acceleration in growth benefitting cost ratios.
The cost ratios developed positively during the quarter supported by scale benefits and the cost saving initiative that was executed at the end of June 2022 to ensure that our organisation and cost base reflected the market environment and growth opportunities.
For the full year, adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 271.9 million (304.4) with an adjusted EBIT margin of 4.8% (6.2).
EBIT increased to SEK 158.4 million (113.1) for the quarter. Year-to-date EBIT amounted to SEK 243.4 million (236.5).

BOOZT GROUP
Net revenue increased 33.1% to SEK 359.5 million (270.0) in the quarter. Booztlet played a key role throughout 2022 in managing the inventory risk for the Boozt Group and selling previous and in-season items successfully contributing to deliver an improved sellthrough of Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter 2022.
Booztlet's growth opportunities were negatively impacted during the second half of 2022 due to high promotional activity both from online and offline players as a consequence of elevated inventory levels in the industry.
The market for a Nordic fashion outlet remains very attractive and the ambition for Booztlet is to continue the high growth trajectory. Booztlet is focusing on gaining access to relevant and enough campaign goods to support continued growth and exploit the potential extra demand from consumers for outlet business with disposable income under pressure.
Growth in the Nordics amounted to 29.8% mainly driven by Sweden and Finland. Rest of Europe experienced an increase of 62.9% to SEK 44.3 million impacted by accelerated sales in Germany and the Baltics.
Average order value increased significantly with 19.1% during the fourth quarter and reached SEK 861 (723) driven mainly by an increased number of items per basket.
For the full year net revenue increased 29.4% to SEK 1,133.0 million (875.6).
Adjusted EBIT decreased to SEK 1.0 million (8.8) in the quarter, while the adjusted EBIT margin decreased to 0.3% (3.3).
The decrease in adjusted EBIT was driven by a lower gross margin as a consequence of the promotional environment and to manage the inventory risk for the Group. The adjustment in the quarter amounted to SEK 1.6 million (4.0) and consisted fully of share-based payments.
For the full year, adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 14.0 million (38.1) with an adjusted EBIT margin of 1.2% (4.4).
EBIT decreased to SEK -0.5 million (4.9) for the quarter and the EBIT margin decreased to -0.2% (1.8). Year-todate EBIT decreased to SEK 9.9 million (28.0) and the EBIT margin decreased to 0.9% (3.2).

BOOZT GROUP

Appointment of Nomination Committee
The Nomination Committee has been formed in accordance with the principles adopted by the Annual General Meeting and has the following composition:
On November 29, 2022, the Group upwardly adjusted its net revenue growth outlook for 2022 to the upper end of the previously communicated range of 10%-15%.
Boozt issued a positive profit warning on January 11, 2023, announcing net revenue growth and adjusted EBIT for 2022 ahead of previously announced outlook. The positive deviation to expectations came from the better than expected performance in November that carried into December with elevated sales and strong profitability supported by the continued execution of the Nordic Department Store strategy.
The Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting a suggestion to grant the board authorisation to decide on buyback and transfer of own shares. Such a mandate would give the board the opportunity until the next annual general meeting - if deemed appropriate - to decide on buyback and transfer of the company's shares to a maximum of 10 percent of the outstanding share volume, in accordance with current Swedish legislation.
The purpose of granting the authorisation would be to give the board an opportunity to adjust the company's capital structure and to enable acquisition financing using own shares.
Number of employees was 1,246 (1,296) at the end of the period equivalent to a decrease of 3.8%, which is mainly due to the right-sizing of the organisation carried out with effect from July 1, 2022.
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 net revenue is higher during the second and the fourth quarter, while the net revenue is lower during the first and third quarter. 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.
Boozt AB (publ), Corp. Id. No. 556793-5183, is the parent company of the Group. Boozt AB (publ) is incorporated and registered in Sweden.
Since May 31, 2017, Boozt AB (publ) has been listed on Nasdaq Stockholm and since November 20, 2020, secondary listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen. Since January 3, 2022, Boozt AB (publ) has been traded on Nasdaq Large Cap. The address to the head office is Hyllie Boulevard 35, 215 37 Malmö, Sweden.
Net revenue of the parent company amounted to SEK 33.9 million (21.1) during the quarter. Year-to-date the net revenue amounted to SEK 89.8 million (102.9). The parent company has invoiced fees for management services in accordance with the Group's intra-company agreements to other Group companies during the period. Costs for the period are mainly related to personnel costs for Group Management and remuneration to the Board of Directors. The result for the quarter totalled SEK 0.8 million (-7.0) and SEK 0.8 million (25.9) year-to-date.
INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT Q4 2022
Boozt has developed a risk management framework with the purpose to strengthen the structure of how risk management is carried out throughout the Group. Identified risks are reviewed by the Board of Directors continuously. No recognisable risk for the Group's ability to continue as a going concern has been identified. All identified risks as well as the risk management process is described in the Group's Annual Report 2021 on pages 41-43. No additional risk has been identified as of December 31, 2022.
The year 2022 was impacted by market and geopolitical developments, such as significant inflationary pressures and the war in Ukraine, that triggered a demand shock and supply chain pressure. To manage this, we have adjusted our cost base and inventory to reflect current consumer demand. Despite the significant challenges brought about by these events, our 2022 risk assessment process indicates no critical risk that might threaten the company overall as a going concern.
The Boozt share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm with secondary listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen. The Boozt share is traded on Nasdaq Stockholm under the ticker BOOZT and Nasdaq Copenhagen under the ticker BOOZT DKK. The ISIN-code for the Boozt share is SE0009888738.
The combined average turnover of the Boozt share on Nasdaq Stockholm and Nasdaq Copenhagen was 332,710 shares per day during the fourth quarter compared to 300,847 shares per day in the fourth quarter last year. As per December 31, 2022, the company had around 17,800 shareholders, whereof the largest shareholders were BLS Capital (24.5%), Ferd (14.2%), ATP (5.7%), Invesco (5.7%), Första AP-fonden (3.6%) and Kabouter Management (3.2%).
The market value for the Company as per December 31, 2022 amounted to SEK 7,917 million. The total number of shares at the end of the reporting period amounted to 67,467,637, whereof 1,658,375 C shares are held in own custody. More information of the Group's share capital can be found in the Annual Report 2021 on page 98. Beyond shares, the Company has issued long-term incentive programs where participants can receive or have the right to receive shares under specific terms and conditions.
The Group has currently three ongoing long-term incentive programs directed to senior executives and key employees within the Group, LTIP 2020/2023, LTIP 2021/2024 and LTIP 2022/2025. No long-term incentive programs have been implemented or expired during the quarter.
LTIP 2020/2023, LTIP 2021/2024 and LTIP 2022/2025 are performance share programs with a 36 month cliff vesting period. The programs contain different performance criterions and constraints. The maximum number of shares that can be granted to the participants amounts to 2,520,000. More information of the Groups long-term incentive programs can be found in the Annual Report 2021 on pages 90-91, and on the Group's website: https:// www.booztgroup.com/annual-general-meeting.
Boozt's related parties and the extent of transactions with its related parties are described in Note 26 in the Annual Report 2021. No transactions with members of the Group Management have occurred during the quarter.
No other material changes occurred during the quarter or year-to-date for the Group or the parent company in relation to or the extent of transactions with its suppliers, classified as related parties, compared to the disclosures in the Annual Report 2021.
The Group expects a net revenue growth for 2023 in the range of 5-15% and an adjusted EBIT between SEK 275-375 million.
Due to the volatile and unpredictable markets, the outlook for 2023 is more uncertain than normally. As a consequence, the Group has decided to widen the range compared to previous years for both net revenue growth and adjusted EBIT.
The net revenue growth is supported by market share gains, continued online penetration and a stable or improving consumer confidence compared to the historic low of 2022.
The Adjusted EBIT outlook for 2023 is positively impacted by a reassessment of the useful lives of selected parts of the Group's fixed assets that mainly relates to the AutoStore installations. The reassessment is carried out to better reflect the actual useful life on a component level based on the experience obtained after operating our AutoStore setup for the past six years. In addition, we have performed a benchmark for companies operating similar setups.
The conclusion based on our own experience in combination with the benchmark is that the AutoStore components have a longer useful life than what our assessment previously reflected. By extending the useful lives, the Group assesses a higher degree of comparability of EBIT towards industry peers. In conclusion, the positive impact on yearly depreciation on a like-forlike basis is in the level SEK 25 million, compared to 2022.
The priority is a continued high investment in growth as well as a further strengthening of the customer experience, while maintaining solid profitability driven by a sustainable high average order value and further cementing the position as the leading Nordic Department Store.
The outlook for 2023 assumes that the exchange rates will remain at the current level.
The Board of Directors expect to announce updated medium to long-term financial targets for the Group, in connection with the Capital Markets Day taking place on March 28, 2023. The new targets will replace the previously communicated medium-term financial targets through 2023.

The report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish annual Accounts Act. Information required by IAS 34 p.16 A is provided in notes and other sections in the interim report. The accounting principles and calculations method have remained unchanged from those applied in the 2021 Annual Report. Amended or new standards taking effect from January 1, 2022 have not had any material impact on the Group's financial reports for the period.
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 esti mates 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 2021 Annual Report on page 86. Since the Group has utilised the option to acquire the remaining shares in Everyday Luxury Feeling A/S (Rosemunde), the Group no longer recognise a put-option liability towards non-controlling interest. No other changes have been made to these estimates or assessments which could have a material impact on the interim report.
For the Parent Company Boozt AB (publ), the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The reporting currency is SEK and all figures in the interim report are rounded to the nearest million with one decimal point.

This report has been subject to a limited review by the Group's auditors.
The undersigned certifies that this interim report gives a true and fair overview of the Parent Company's and the Group's operations, financial position, performance and describes the material risks and uncertainties facing the Parent Company and the companies in the Group.
Malmö, February 10, 2023
HERMANN HARALDSSON GROUP CEO In accordance with authorization given by the Board of Directors
We have reviewed the interim report for Boozt AB (publ) for the period January 1 – December 31, 2022. The Board of Directors and the CEO 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.
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.
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.

The quarterly 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, "Interim Report Q4 2022" – "Financial Data".
