FINANCIAL REVIEW

Birte Strander (CFO)

Strong improvement in adj. net revenue YoY

  • •Strong adj. net revenue development across all segments, particularly in the Consumer and Business segment.
  • • Adjusted net revenue increased +16% YoY, primarily driven by growth in number of deliveries.

  • • All-time high LTM adjusted net revenue, increasing by +20% YoY.
  • • 9 pp of the increase1 is related to increase in volume, where growth in number of deliveries account for more than 100% of the increase.
  • •11 pp of the increase1 is related to improved product margins

Sources: Company information

1) New Growth Initiatives figures are excluded from the calculations, as high volumes with very low margins distorts the analysis

Consistent adj. EBIT performance

•3% increase in adjusted EBIT YoY, driven by the Business segment.

  • • Increased sales and marketing costs but also variable operating costs are affecting adjusted EBIT in the consumer segment. NGI YoY development affected by launch of mobile.
  • •6% growth in LTM adjusted EBIT YoY, driven by both increase in number of deliveries and improved product margins.
  • •5 percentage points LTM margin contraction YoY driven by increasing sales and marketing costs and launch of mobile.

Sources: Company information

Adj. net revenue and adj. EBIT by segment – quarterly

  • • Solid increase in net revenue driven in whole by customer growth and increased avg. volume per delivery.
  • • 6 pp margin contraction YoY driven by increased sales and marketing costs and variable operating costs.

  • • Strong increase in net revenue driven ~50/50 by increased volume and improved product margins/VAS.

  • • 5 pp margin expansion YoY driven by revenue growth and a relatively stable cost base.

Consumer segment Business segment New Growth Initiatives

  • • NWC in Q1 2018 were in addition to seasonality impacted by quarter-end during Easter public holidays, which affected the timing of customer payments, temporarily increasing accounts receivables recorded at the end of the quarter.
  • • Disposal of 2017 el-certificates in Q1 2018, consequently affecting net working capital. Throughout the rest of the year, the post payment practice is a free source of capital which will positively affect net working capital.
  • • Slight increase in capitalised sales commissions, as the expensed amount exceeds amortisation.

Sources: Company information

1) NWC includes the following items from current assets: Inventories, intangible assets, trade receivables, derivative financial instruments and other current assets (that is, all current assets in the balance sheet except cash and cash equivalents); and the following items from current liabilities; trade payables, current income tax liabilities, derivative financial instruments, social security and other taxes and other current liabilities (that is, all items under current liabilities, except proposed dividend (zero according to IFRS))
