The outlook assumes constant currencies from the time of this announcement and for the remainder of the financial year.
*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 market practice and by doing so the Group assesses a higher degree of comparability of EBIT towards industry peers. Compared to 2022, the positive impact on yearly depreciation on a like-for-like basis is in the level SEK 25 million.

"We demonstrated superior execution in the third quarter with a strong acceleration of net revenue growth and a solid jump in profitability cementing our best-in-industry margins. Considering the strong momentum of our commercial efforts and competitive inventory composition, we upgrade the outlook for 2023 indicating a significant leap in terms of market share for The Nordic Department Store."

We demonstrated superior execution in the third quarter with a strong acceleration of net revenue growth and a solid jump in profitability cementing our best-in-industry margins.
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 September 30, 2022. The Third quarter refers to the period July - September 2023.
Net revenue increased 16.7% to SEK 1,550.0 million (1,328.1) in the third quarter. Currency had a positive impact on net revenue growth of 6.0 percentage points and relates primarily to the strengthening of DKK and EUR compared to SEK in the third quarter last year.
Growth was solid throughout the quarter with support from the strong inventory position. Weather conditions worked in favour of growth in the first part of the quarter while September was relatively warm in the Nordics which normally has a negative impact on the start of the autumn/winter season. Despite that, growth remained encouraging throughout the quarter.
While the market conditions continue to be pressured as consumer confidence remains low and the number of eyeballs are fewer than prior years this also provides opportunities to gain market share in relation to both local and international peers of whom many have less favourable unit economics.
Management assesses that the Group continued to take market share in the third quarter. Growth was fueled by a further increase in average order values in both stores and slightly lower return rates.
The execution of the Nordic Department Store continued successfully exemplified by 250 thousand more customers buying into more than one category on Boozt.com over the last twelve months compared to the prior twelve months. As multicategory buyers add significant value to the Group through improved average order value, loyalty and profitability this remains a strategic important focus area.
Net revenue increase was driven by a growth of 13.9% for Boozt.com and 31.3% for Booztlet.com.
Other revenue (included in net revenue) increased to SEK 64.5 million (51.2) in the third quarter mainly driven by Boozt Data Intelligence supporting our brand partner with valuable insights into customer behaviour and product performance. Other revenue is revenue not directly related to product sales, such as income from Boozt Media Partnership, Boozt Data Intelligence, BooztPay and breakage from gift cards.
For the first nine months of 2023 net revenue increased 10.6% to SEK 4,761.9 million (4,305.3). Currency had a positive impact on net revenue growth for the first nine months of 4.4 percentage points and relates primarily to the strengthening of DKK and EUR compared to SEK .
Net revenue in the Nordics increased 14.3% with the strongest performance in Finland followed by Denmark and Sweden. The growth in Rest of Europe came to 56.6%. For the third quarter, the most significant markets in terms of net revenue were Denmark and Sweden accounting for 34.4% and 33.3% of total net revenue respectively.

BOOZT GROUP
INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT Q3 2023
Gross profit increased 16.0% to SEK 617.5 million (532.3) in the quarter. The gross margin of 39.8% (40.1) was slightly lower than last year. The conversion of a previous agent agreement into a wholesale agreement had a negative impact of 0.6 percentage points in the quarter. This implies that a like-forlike comparison of the gross margin in the quarter would be an increase of 0.3 percentage points. While the quarter remained highly promotional, the strength of the Boozt business model was showcased as the strong inventory position enabled accelerated market share gains with a sustained strong gross margin, despite higher input prices from brand partners.
During the quarter, the Group built up a solid inventory position to secure profitable growth opportunities for the fourth quarter as well as the first quarter of 2024. The stock build up relates both to Boozt.com as well as Booztlet.com. To ensure flexibility and reduce inventory risk, investments are mainly towards Never-Out-Of-Stock (NOOS)-items, Campaign stock; stock bought at favourable prices as well as re-runners with proven track record in relation to new season goods. These investments enabled the high growth numbers and solid margins in the quarter and are a prerequisite for future sustainable high growth.
For the first nine months of 2023 gross profit increased 10.6% to SEK 1,916.7 million (1,733.8). Gross margin was maintained at 40.3% (40.3).
The fulfilment cost ratio decreased 0.9 percentage points to 10.7% (11.6). In the third quarter, productivity improvements continued to materialise in our fulfilment operations. Our effort to strengthen key parts of our logistics organisation to harvest further improvements is well under way with the key objective to improve transparency, accountability and ownership. During the quarter our distribution costs developed favourably, benefitting from dedicated efforts to increase competition across all markets and guiding customers to our preferred carrier as well as a positive impact from the continuing increase in average order value. The recent years capacity expansion has provided ample space to grow the business and the company expects to gradually
increase utilisation of automation and warehouse footprint to the benefit of productivity and ultimately the cost ratio. Year-to-date the fulfilment cost ratio decreased to 11.3% (11.8).
The marketing cost ratio decreased compared last year to 10.5% (11.4) as the Group gained benefits from lower cost-per-click in the Nordic market. The company aims to continue a high marketing spend to attract new customers along with further efforts to build Boozt as a household brand in the Nordics via offline marketing efforts.
The 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 decreased to 10.6% (11.1).
The adjusted admin and other cost ratio decreased to 10.2% (11.0). While cost of personnel was on par with last year, other admin costs decreased due to re-evaluation of accounts payables in foreign currencies. Year-to-date the adjusted admin and other cost ratio was on par with last year 10.8% (10.8).
The deprecation cost ratio decreased slightly to 4.1% (4.2) in line with expectations on absolute amounts.
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 was 3.9% (3.8).
Adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 67.2 million (25.5) in the third quarter. The adjusted EBIT margin increased with 2.4 percentage points to 4.3% (1.9). The increased marketing efficiency, improvements in fulfilment and leverage on the adjusted admin and other expenses all impacted the margin positively.
Year-to-date the adjusted EBIT was 3.6% that is to be compared to 2.7% last year.
Total adjustments in the quarter amounted to SEK 14.3 million (-10.2). Adjustments include share-based payments of SEK 14.1 million (-10.2). Year-to-date adjustments amounted to SEK 53.2 million (19.7).
Share-based payments fluctuate 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.
For a reconciliation of adjusted EBIT, please visit the Group's website www.booztgroup.com/reports-and-presentations, "Q3 Report 2023" – "Key financials".
EBIT improved to SEK 52.9 million (35.7) in the third quarter, with an increased EBIT margin of 0.7 percentage points to 3.4% (2.7).
Year-to-date EBIT increased to SEK 116.5 million (95.5), while the EBIT margin increased to 2.4% (2.2).
The Group's financial income amounted to SEK 4.6 million (0.1) during the third quarter. Financial costs amounted to SEK -20.0 million (-5.5). The financial costs were driven by a SEK -10.1 million write-down of all shares held in Liveshopper ApS, SEK -6.3 million (-3.6) of interest related to loans for financing the expansion of AutoStore and SEK -3.6 million (-1.9) of interest resulting from leasing contracts according to IFRS 16. Net financial items amounted to SEK -15.4 million (-5.4) during the third quarter and to SEK -23.6 million (-14.8) year-to-date.
Tax for the period amounted to SEK -8.7 million (-6.0). The Group's effective tax rate for the period was 23.3% (20.0). Year-to-date, the income tax amounted to SEK -3.0 (-18.0), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 3.2% (22.3). Tax for the period and year-to-date is positively impacted with SEK 16.0 million relating to the utilisation of tax losses carried forward.
Earnings for the third quarter totalled SEK 28.8 million (24.2). Earnings per share before dilution amounted to SEK 0.42 (0.36). Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 0.42 (0.35).
Year-to-date, earnings amounted to SEK 89.9 million (62.7). Earnings per share before dilution amounted to SEK 1.32 (0.93). Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 1.30 (0.92).
The Group realised a net working capital of SEK 928.0 million (527.5) equivalent to 12.9% (8.4) of the net revenue for the last twelve months. During the third quarter the Group built up the inventory position to serve solid growth opportunities for the fourth quarter of 2023 as well as the first quarter of next year. The investments made are related to never-out-of-stock goods ("NOOS"), campaign stock bought at favourable prices as well as in-season goods. Investments in NOOS and campaign goods carries a relatively lower inventory risk (compared to seasonal goods) as it is inventory normally sold year round.
Availability of high-quality stock is key to gain market share in accordance with the Group's ambition. The decision to improve the offering on Booztlet.com with focus on basics and more true-to-season inventory, as communicated in the first quarter of 2023 adds to the elevated inventory level, especially as the growth numbers on Booztlet increased during the third quarter implying that the business model for Booztlet is working well in this market environment.
Compared to last year one of the Group's biggest brand partners converted their agreement from an agent agreement to a wholesale agreement as Boozt made the strategic decision to be in full control of inventory. The conversion of this agreement impacted net working capital negatively with 1.2 percentage points compared to last year.
The Group's inventory position is attractive and healthy as the Group has a clear focus to gain market share by offering competitive products also in the very tough market environment currently impacting the industry.
The Group's net cash (-) decreased to SEK -256.9 million (-495.3). The net debt / net cash excludes leasing liabilities.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased to SEK 703.9 million (1,024.3), driven by the increased investments in stock to strengthen our inventory position ahead of the fourth quarter and beginning of next year.
Lease liabilities (current and non-current) increased compared to last year and amounted to SEK 493.3 million (475.4). The increase is primarily related to the impact from adjustments to lease contracts according to the Consumer Price Index taking effect from January 1, 2023, and the inclusion of newly established leasing contracts. The increase was somewhat mitigated by a higher discount rate and repayment of lease liabilities.
Interest-bearing liabilities (current and non-current) have decreased to SEK 447.0 million (529.0). The decrease is positively impacted by repayments of loans to finance the AutoStore expansion.
Non-current assets increased to SEK 1,929.6 million (1,858.6). The increase compared to last year was mainly driven by higher capitalised development costs related to the ecommerce platform. The increase was driven by currency effects, inflationary pressure on and right-of-use assets under IFRS 16, as well as foreign exchange rate impact related to goodwill and trademarks, however, the impact was offset by an impairment write-down of the value of all shares held in LiveShopper ApS.
Equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent company increased to SEK 2,590.8 (2,372.2) million.
Cash flow for the period amounted to SEK -196.1 million (-14.4), driven primarily by repurchase of shares amounting to SEK 55.4 million. Year-to-date cash flow amounted to SEK -1,075.6 million (-541.1).
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -61.5 million (122.2) in the quarter, where the Spring/Summer endof-season campaign contributed positively to the change in net working capital while being offset by inventory deliveries prior to the start of Autumn/Winter season during September. The Group has received a higher share of the Autumn/Winter goods during the third quarter compared to last year.
Year-to-date cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -732.7 million (-27.4) as the Group entered 2023 with a lowerthan-expected stock position as a positive consequence of the strong sales in the fourth quarter of 2022. This implied a higher cash outflow in the first quarter of 2023. Management assesses that the impact on the Q1 cash flow was in the level of negative SEK 250 million compared to previous year. The earlier than last year in deliveries for the autumn/winter season of 2023 also impacted the year-to-date cash flow negatively along with the investments related to the new Booztlet strategy of strengthening the selection of available inventory throughout the season.
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -33.1 million (-32.2). As expected, the Group made limited investments in fixed assets as the expansion of automation in the Group's current warehouse was finalised during 2022. Of the SEK -33.1 million, SEK -27.1 million was related to development of the Group's platform. Year-to-date cash flow from investment amounts to SEK -95.9 million (-612.7).
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -101.5 million (-104.4) driven by repayment on loans related to the AutoStore installations in the Group's fulfilment operations. Year-to-date cash flow from financing amounted to SEK -247.0 million (98.8).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| CO₂e intensity per order (kg) | 0.40 | 0.38 | 0.44 | 0.43 |
| Share of renewable electricity (%) | 98.2 | 97.8 | 98.2 | 98 |
| Share of recycled waste in the Fulfilment Centre (%) | 75.3 | 51.9 | 74.2 | 56.6 |
| Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) | 58 | 35 | 58 | 41 |
| Average aggregated participation rate of the employee survey (%) |
86 | 69 | 88 | 71 |
The CO₂e intensity per order is calculated by dividing the emissions of deliveries and returns (category Scope 3 Upstream transportation and distribution emissions) by the number of orders shipped. Emissions are reported in Well-to-Wheel (WtW). The reported value covers 99% of the order volume in Q3 2023 (Q3 2022: 99%).
The share of renewable electricity is calculated by dividing the total renewable electricity consumption by the total electricity consumption. Renewable electricity is powered by hydropower, solar energy and wind. In Q3 2023, the solar panels installed on the roof of the Fulfilment Centre generated a total of 157,531 kWh of electricity.
Share of recycled waste in the Fulfilment Centre (%) The share of recycled waste is calculated by dividing the total recycled waste by the total waste generated. The treatment method for the remaining waste is waste-to-energy (WtE) in certified centres in Sweden, close to the Fulfilment Centre. In the third quarter, 500 tons of waste were recycled, which is about 75.3% of the total waste generated (Q3 2022: 51.9%). The increase in the share of recycled waste is due to a higher amount of sorted and recycled plastic packaging and an increase in sold and reused wood.

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT Q3 2023
PAGE – 11
Net revenue increased 13.9% to SEK 1,271.6 million (1,116.1) in the quarter. The net revenue growth was positively impacted by currency effects of around 6.0 percentage points from the strengthening of DKK and EUR to SEK compared to the third quarter last year.
The overall market for fashion and lifestyle products in the Nordics continues to be challenged by the pressure on disposable income despite that inflation has started to come down in the region. While the high inventory levels seem to decrease amongst retailers, they remain elevated with brand owners as many retailers lower expectations on growth.
Management expects the high promotional activity in the market to continue in the near future as consumers are expected to continue to hold back due to uncertainty of disposable incomes affecting them during the winter months (e.g electricity prices, interest rates etc).
Number of active customers increased 2% year-on-year with a growth of 5.7% for Nordic countries, almost 50% growth in the Baltics while Rest of Europe, where Germany and the Netherlands constitutes the majority of the customer base intentionally decreased 38% as the value of the Nordic and Baltic customers were significantly more favourable. Growth in the number of active customers was higher than in the second quarter.
The sales growth was attributed to a solid performance in the Nordics. Market growth was impacted by continued low consumer sentiment.Net revenue increased across all categories and the return rate was slightly improved from last year driven by the continued growth of the adjacent categories.
The average order value continued the positive development and increased 8.6% to SEK 947 (872), positively impacted by the average value of items sold and currency effects. The continued execution of the Nordic Department Store strategy resulted in a further diversification of sales benefiting the number of items per basket. Year-to-date the average order value was SEK 922 (854).
True frequency remained at 7.0 (7.0) with cohorts displaying encouraging buying patterns despite the ongoing pressure on consumers' disposable income. Customer satisfaction remained at a high level as shown by a Trustpilot score of 4.5 (4.5) and a Net Promoter Score of 75 (76).
For the first nine months net revenue increased 11.3% to SEK 3,930.8 million (3,531.7).
Adjusted EBIT increased to SEK 49.5 million (23.5) in the quarter, while the adjusted EBIT margin increased with 1.8 percentage points to 3.9% (2.1).
The adjusted EBIT margin increased as Boozt.com's marketing costs gained from lower cost-per-click in the Nordics at the same time as the fulfilment costs and adjusted admin & other improved.
The adjustment in the quarter amounted to SEK 11.5 million (-8.5) and consisted of share-based payments.
For the first nine months, the adjusted EBIT increased to SEK 139.0 million (102.4), while the adjusted EBIT margin increased with 0.6 percentage points to 3.5% (2.9)
EBIT for the quarter increased to SEK 38.0 million (32.0) while year-to-date EBIT increased SEK 92.6 million (85.2).

BOOZT GROUP
Net revenue increased a solid 31.3% to SEK 278.4 million (212.0) in the quarter as the newly implemented strategy for Boozlet continued to deliver according to plan. The net revenue growth was positively impacted by currency effects of around 6.4 percentage points from the strengthening of DKK and EUR to SEK compared to the Third quarter last year.
Booztlet's growth opportunities were positively impacted by increased access to campaign goods supporting attractive offers to the customers while maintaining a healthy gross margin. The market continues to be impacted by high promotional activity both from online and offline players as a consequence of elevated inventory levels in the industry. On top, management estimates that the core customer group of Booztlet is likely to have experienced a more significant dilution of their disposable income displayed in the increasing number of customers who, on average, shop less.
Growth in the Nordics amounted to 24.1%, while the rest of Europe experienced a growth of 104.4% to SEK 39.0 million. During the third quarter of 2023 the number of active customers increased 5%. This indicates that the actions taken in the second quarter to make Boozltet even more attractive for the customers are working.
The average order value increased 18.7% during the third quarter to SEK 989 (833). The positive developments over the last year are mainly driven by an increased number of items per basket as we have broadened our selection along with positive effects from currencies.
For the first nine months net revenue increased 7.4% to SEK 831.0 million (773.6).
A consequence of the new strategy for Booztlet, implying a more solid offering on Booztlet.com with focus on basics and more true-to-season inventory is higher investments in inventory. This impacts the Group's net working capital negatively but is a prerequisite to drive high growth rates for Booztlet. The majority of the investment in inventory relates to NOOS and Campaign stock which has a lower inventory risk than in-season stock.
Adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 17.7 million (1.9) in the quarter, and the adjusted EBIT margin increased to 6.3% (0.9).
Profitability improved significantly as the average order value increased. The adjusted EBIT was negatively impacted by a slightly decreased gross margin that was offset by cost base improvements.
The adjustment in the quarter amounted to SEK 2.8 million (-1.6) and consisted fully of share-based payments.
Year-to-date, adjusted EBIT amounted to SEK 30.8 million (12.9) with an improved adjusted EBIT margin of 3.7% (1.7).
EBIT improved compared to last year to SEK 14.8 million (3.5) and the EBIT margin was 5.3% (1.7). Year-to-date, EBIT increased to SEK 23.9 million (10.5) and the EBIT margin increased to 2.9% (1.4).

Norwegian court rules in favor of Boozt in dispute with the Norwegian Tax Administration (Skatteetaten) Boozt received notification that the Oslo District Court issued a judgement in the case involving Boozt Fashion AB and the Norwegian Tax Administration (Skatteetaten) (case number: 23-029281TVI-TOSL/02). The case centres around the validity of the Norwegian Tax Administration's decision on September 30, 2022, to reject Boozt's application for simplified registration for value-added tax.
The Norwegian Tax Administration's rejection was grounded in its assertion that Boozt had engaged in what is known as domestic Norwegian revenue, a claim that Boozt has disputed. After a thorough examination of the case's circumstances, the Oslo District Court has determined that Boozt should not be considered as having domestic Norwegian revenue. Consequently, the Norwegian Tax Administration's decision on September 30, 2022, is deemed to be based on an erroneous legal interpretation. The judgment renders the Norwegian Tax Administration's decision from that date invalid, and as a result, the Norwegian state is obligated to reimburse Boozt for its legal expenses.
Should the judgment of the Oslo District Court become legally binding, it will have the indirect effect of relieving Boozt going forward of the obligation to pay Norwegian import duties on prod ucts sold to Norwegian customers. These import duties amounted to approximately 45 million SEK during the fiscal year 2022.
The Norwegian Tax Agency decided to appeal Oslo Tingrett's verdict. Boozt currently has no information about the expected processing time in Lagmannretten or when Lagmannsretten may be expected to issue a verdict in the case.
On June 21, 2023 the Board of Directors initiated a repurchase program of own shares. The purpose of the repurchase program was to enable Boozt to adapt its capital structure to its capital needs over time and thereby contribute to an increased share holder value.
The intention is that the repurchased shares shall be cancelled through resolutions by future general meetings. The total number of shares that may be repurchased may not result in that the Company's shareholding (including holdings of C-shares) exceeds 10 per cent of the total number of shares in the Company at any given time and the amount to be paid for repurchased shares may in the aggregate not exceed SEK 200 million.
During the third quarter of 2023, 545,370 shares were purchased within the repurchase program. As per the date of the release of this report the number of shares held in own custody was 2,436,009 whereof 1,744,867 are C-shares. Total amount used for the repurchase program is SEK 68.8 million as per the date of the release of this report.

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.

Boozt's related parties and the extent of transactions with its related parties are described in Note 26 in the Annual Report 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. In conclusion, the positive impact on yearly depreciation on a likefor-like 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.

Boozt has successfully managed to grow net revenue significantly faster than the Nordic market since 2017. The market in the Nordics remains attractive and the company expects to continue the accelerated market share gains supported by the position as the leading Nordic Department Store.
The company expects that when the Group's growth rate is in line with the general online fashion and lifestyle market growth in the Nordics, that its business model with best-in-industry unit economics will result in double-digit margins and strong cash generation.

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 2022 Annual Report. Amended or new standards taking effect from January 1, 2023 have not had any material impact on the Group's financial reports for the period.
The Group has carried out 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.
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-for-like basis is in the level SEK 25 million, compared to 2022. The impact for the third quarter of 2023 is SEK 6.25 million and SEK 18.75 million for the first nine months of 2023.
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 2022 Annual Report on page 95.
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.
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 – September 30, 2023. 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.
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, "Q3 Report 2023" – "Key financials".
