* Dustin was listed on the stock exchange during the quarter. No dilution has been calculated for earlier periods. There were no outstanding options as of February 28, 2015.
Dustin can look back on yet another quarter with a positive trend in its main segments. Organic growth in the B2B segment totalled 11 per cent during the quarter and the company reported stable profitability. This shows that we have an attractive offering and a successful and efficient business model, and we expect our position in the B2B market to continue to strengthen.
Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all of shareholders – a group of approximately 6,650 at the end of the March – to Dustin. The company has attracted considerable interest and the offer was significantly oversubscribed. We now look forward to continuing to focus on our current strategy as a listed company in order to create both short and long-term shareholder value.
Our favourable growth in the B2B segment during the second quarter was attributable to our continued strong online sales of IT products and service. Our online platform provides us with the necessary prerequisites to also serve the large companies segment and the public sector with efficient product deliveries. The segment displayed strong growth during the quarter, which was mainly due to the exchange of previously secured framework agreements in the public sector, and the fact that our current market share has been relatively low in this area.
Competition in the B2C segment remained tough. For Dustin, the segment, which in the quarter accounted for 8 percentage points of total sales, represents a complement to our core operations and we prioritise profitability ahead of volume.
During the second quarter, we continued our efforts to optimise our new IT platform in order to achieve optimal efficiency. Although we have seen a positive trend, we chose to further intensify our efforts in order to achieve the highest possible performance, which resulted in non-recurring costs of SEK 16 million during the quarter. We expect that this work will result in an additional SEK 20 million in expenses during the current financial year, when the work is deemed completed. The plan is to commence the
integration of Dustin Norway during the fourth quarter. The new IT platform will provide us with the opportunity to maximise the advantages of the experience and expertise existing at Dustin by being able to export new and existing offerings to all markets in the Group and to leverage additional efficiency gains and economies of scale.
During the period, Dustin was awarded a number of important distinctions by its partners, including "Partner of the Year" by HP and "Infrastructure Partner of the Year" by Dell. In March, we also received an award from Microsoft for our work to support our customers to become mobile and cloud based. This confirms that we play an important role in our partners' ability to succeed in the B2B market.
Together with 80 exhibitors and partners, we arranged the 14th Dustin Expo in late March. The trade fair, which was held at the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, has grown to become the largest IT trade fair in the Nordic region. The fair included two company days and one consumer day and attracted a total of about 10,000 visitors. The event is an important opportunity for us to meet our customers and strengthen our customer relations. This year, we received more interest than ever before in the company days, during the event – in addition to the exhibition itself – we also arranged seminars to inspire and support our customers in their efforts to find optimal solutions to their IT challenges.
IDC's preliminary figures regarding PC sales to the B2B segment in the Nordic region published recently show a slowdown lately. The main reason we judge to be last year's migration of Windows XP to Windows 8, and the effect of an currency driven adjusted price level from the larger vendors.
Dustin has historically grown substantially faster than our addressable market thanks to a strong position among small- and medium-sized customers. We estimate Dustin's prospects for continued growth premium relative to the market as well.
Nacka, April 2015 Georgi Ganev, CEO
Dustin Group is one of the leading Nordic resellers of IT solutions with associated services to companies, the public sector and private individuals.

Dustin Group has been listed on Nasdaq Stockholm since 2015 and has its head office in Nacka in Stockholm.
Net sales for the quarter increased 9.0 per cent to SEK 2,188 million (2,007). Organic growth in fixed exchange rates amounted to 7.0 per cent (15.4). Growth in the B2B segment was 12.8 per cent, of which organic growth in fixed exchange rates accounted for 10.7 per cent. Net sales in the B2C customer segment declined by 21.1 per cent; measured in constant currency, the decline was 22.9 per cent.
Gross profit for the IT products and services operations increased SEK 9 million to SEK 302 million (292). The gross margin declined with 0.8 percentage points to 13.8 per cent (14.6), mainly due to changes in the sales mix.
Adjusted EBITA and operating profit for the Group Adjusted EBITA amounted to SEK 108 million (106) during the quarter. The adjusted EBITA margin was 4.9 per cent (5.3). Items affecting comparability totalled a negative SEK 38 million (neg: 5). Expenses of SEK 22 million were attributable to the stock exchange listing and expenses of SEK 16 million pertained to the ongoing efforts to optimise the company's integrated IT platform. Items affecting comparability are specified on page 13.
Operating profit for the Group amounted to SEK 56 million (88).
Net financial income and expenses amounted to an expense of SEK 23 million (expense: 30). This decrease in expenses was mainly attributable to improved financing terms and, to a certain extent, new financing structure.
The Group's effective tax rate for the quarter was 23.5 per cent, compared with 22.2 per cent in the year-earlier period.
Profit for the period amounted to SEK 25 million (45). Earnings per share, before and after dilution, declined to SEK 0.37 (0.68).

Total cash and equivalents amounted to SEK 227 million (94).
Dustin also has an unutilised overdraft facility totalling SEK 270 million.
Cash flow from operating activities rose to SEK 136 million (58). This increase was attributable to release of working capital of SEK 109 million, primarily due to increased accounts payable that were partly offset by increased accounts receivable and higher inventories.
Cash flow from investment activities amounted to a negative SEK 77 million (neg: 26). The majority of this change was attributable to an unpaid purchase consideration to the former owner of Dustin AB, Stångsundet AB, in conjunction with the stock exchange listing.
Cash flow from financing activities rose by SEK 141 million to SEK 136 million (neg: 5), of which the main portion was attributable to changes in external financing. Most of this was derived through a new share issue in the amount of SEK 243 million (net proceeds of issue) and the remaining portion through external bank financing. During the quarter, SEK 256 million pertaining to capitalised interest was repaid. This capitalised interest pertained to loans to previous shareholders and shareholder loans. This was a non-recurring item since all capitalised interest is paid and loans repaid.
Cash flow for the quarter amounted to SEK 195 million (27).
In an effort to broaden the company's shareholder base, the Board of Directors and owners of Dustin Group AB (publ) conducted a combined sale of its existing and newly issued shares. The offer was targeted toward the general public in Sweden and to institutional investors in Sweden and abroad. Dustin was listed on Nasdaq Stockholm on February 13, 2015. The price was set at SEK 50 per share.
In connection with the listing of Dustin shares on Nasdaq Stockholm, the company's former Series A, B and C shares were converted so that Dustin had only one type of share following the listing.
All warrants previously owned by Altor Fund II and a number of current and previous Board members, members of Senior Management and other key employees were used to subscribe for shares. This subscription supplied Dustin with approximately SEK 211 million. Of these funds 116 million has been used to solve the remaining amount of the shareholder loan that the company previously had with Altor Fund II.
The company also conducted a new share issues comprising 5,000,000 shares, which supplied Dustin with SEK 250 million before issue expenses.
Following the consolidation of shares (5:1) and conversion of all outstanding shares to ordinary shares, the subscription of new shares with the support. Of these funds 116 million has been used to solve the remaining amount of the shareholder loan that the company previously had with Altor Fund II.
On January 29, 2015, Dustin entered into a new loan agreement with two banks. The facilities thus made available comprise a loan facility of SEK 1,100 million and a guarantee facility of SEK 30 million. On January 29, 2015, Dustin also entered into an overdraft facility totalling SEK 270 million. On the same date, Dustin Financial Services AB entered into loan facility totalling SEK 200 million.
The new financing was used to refinance loans, which also resulted in lower financing costs.
In the first quarter of 2014/15, Dustin launched a new integrated IT platform including a Group-wide ERP system, as well as a new web-based customer interface. The launch included the entire Group, with the exception of the acquired companies IT-Hantverkarna, Businessforum and Dustin Norway (formerly Norsk Data Senter). The new integrated IT platform is intended to contribute to increasing internal efficiency, facilitating the integration of acquired operations, as well as facilitating the export of new and existing offerings to all markets within the Group.
During the quarter, the Group continued its work to optimise the new IT platform and associated changes in process. This work resulted in expenses of SEK 16 million for the second quarter, which were recognised under the item "Items affecting comparability." Dustin's current assessment is that the initiative will continuously be scaled back and be concluded during the fourth quarter of the current financial year.
The integration of Norsk Data Senter A/S, which was acquired in 2012, into the Dustin Group began during the quarter. The change of name to Dustin Norway A/S was a first, important step toward full integration and will advance the company's service offering in the Norwegian market. During the quarter, Dustin began work on the merger of its two Norwegian subsidiaries and the integration of the entire Norwegian operation into the shared IT platform.

Dustin's operations are divided into two business areas: B2B (including Dustin Financial Services) and B2C.
Within B2B, customers are served through both the online platform and relationship selling.
Dustin's sales model has been adapted to meet customers' needs and potential as efficiently as possible. Although B2B is Dustin's core segment, there are several advantages to also serving B2C customers, such as similar product range, limited additional costs, as well as insight into trends and pricing. In the B2C segment, customers are only served through the online platform.
Net sales for the second quarter increased 12.8 per cent to SEK 2,012 million (1,784). Organic growth in constant currency was 10.7 per cent. Growth was primarily attributable to a strong trend in large companies and the public sector, particularly in Norway and Denmark. In small and medium companies, growth was slightly weaker than in the first quarter, partly due to lower sales with a service content. Net interest income for Dustin Financial Services rose 25.7 per cent during the quarter to SEK 4.1 million (3.3) and was impacted by a larger proportion of framework agreements and a favourable customer mix with respect to small and medium companies.
Net sales for the period rose 14.4 per cent to SEK 3,927 million (3,432). Organic growth in constant currency was 12.4 per cent.
The segment results for the second quarter rose SEK 15 million to SEK 170 million (155). This earnings increase was the result of the strong sales trend, while the margin was adversely impacted by a higher proportion attributable to large companies and the public sector. The segment margin for the quarter was 8.5 per cent (8.7).
The segment results for the period rose SEK 28 million to SEK 330 million (302). The segment margin for the period was 8.4 per cent (8.8).
Net sales declined 21.1 per cent in the second quarter to SEK 176 million (233). Organic growth in constant currency was a negative 22.3 per cent. This decrease was partly attributable to negative effects during the start-up phase of the implementation of the new customer interface launched during the first quarter, as well as more intense competition and a greater focus on the online offering among traditional players in capital goods.
Net sales for the period declined 17.6 per cent to SEK 329 million (399). Organic growth in constant currency was a negative 18.7 per cent.
The segment results in the second quarter declined SEK 6 million to SEK 6 million (12) and were adversely impacted by the decline in sales. The segment margin for the quarter was 3.7 per cent (5.6).
The segment results for the period declined SEK 12 million to SEK 8 million (20). The segment margin for the period was 2.4 per cent (5.1).
The central functions are key to Dustin's ability to deliver its offerings more efficiently in all markets. In recent years, the company made significant investments in the central functions to realise economies of scale and manage the integration of acquired operations.
Costs for central functions, excluding items affecting comparability, in relation to sales amounted to 3.2 per cent for the past 12-month period, compared with 3.2 per cent for the full 2013/14 financial year.
