¹ The calculation of dilution of shares is made based on the number of days that the warrant programmes that have been active during each respective period. As no market price is available to set against the exercise price and the number of warrants is limited in relation to the number of ordinary shares, the dilution effect for periods before Hemnets IPO on 27 April, 2021, has been calculated based on the maximum theoretical dilution. For periods beginning after 27 April, 2021, the calculation of dilution is made based on the average share price during each respective period.

Interim report Q2

January-June 2022

"Strong growth as both increasing demand for value-added services and price adjustments drive ARPL"

Net sales growth, % 26.9%

ARPL growth, % 33.9%

Adjusted EBITDA-margin, % 53.9%

Operational highlights

  • • Average revenue per listing (ARPL) increased by 33.9 percent to SEK 3,163 (2,363), as demand for our products continued to increase in combination with price adjustments across all products for property sellers.
  • • Number of published listings increased by 3.2 percent compared to the same period last year.
  • • Business-to-business revenue increased 4.3 percent as real estate agents continued to invest in display, Hemnet Business and the new section to find sellers.

Comments

Net sales increased by 26.9 percent to SEK 269.7m (212.5) and adjusted EBITDA increased by 31.0 percent to SEK 145.3m (110.9) in the second quarter.

Revenue from property sellers grew by 37.3 percent as the share of sellers that choose one of our larger marketing packages, Hemnet Plus or Hemnet Premium, continued to increase. We keep improving our strong offering for property sellers, and drive growth in ARPL through a combination of product development, conversion and price.

The number of published listings exceeded last year's high volumes by 3.2 percent, and thereby contributed with a tenth of the total growth in revenue from property sellers. Thus, despite higher inflation and interest rates, the number of new listings coming to market continues apace.

We are seeing a shift towards more of a buyer's market with lower property prices and longer selling times. One of Hemnet's strengths is that our business is also well positioned for this type of market, as we are paid for each new listing rather than a completed property transaction. In addition, our larger marketing packages become even more valuable as sellers seek to maximise the exposure of their home for sale, in order to secure a sale and get the right price.

After building momentum in property sellers' products, we also have traction on the business-to-business side. Sales to other customer categories increased by 4.3 percent during the quarter, and 7.6 percent excluding items affecting comparability, reversing the trend of the previous two quarters. The high demand from real estate agents for existing products continued, and we have due to the high demand started to build awareness for the new section where agents are visible for new potential sellers.

This quarter, which was marked by many uncertainties and challenges for businesses around the world, has highlighted Hemnet's robust position. With visitors spending an incredible 880 million minutes on our platforms during the second quarter we have by far the largest and most engaged home-moving audience in Sweden, and the fact that nine out of ten properties that are sold in Sweden are listed on Hemnet adds further weight to that position. We have a strong financial position and in May we paid our first dividend as a public company, as well as launched a share buy-back program of SEK 450m.

In August I look forward to welcoming new members to our management team. We continue to build an increasingly strong team, and we are well equipped to continue delivering sustainable and profitable growth for the long term.

Financial summary, April-June 2022

Continued strong growth in net sales, because of continued increase in average revenue per listing (ARPL), as well as a somewhat higher number of published listings. Adjusted EBITDA increased 31.0 percent to SEK 145.3m (110.9).

Net sales and profit

Net sales increased by 26.9 percent to SEK 269.7m (212.5).

Revenue from property sellers increased by 37.3 percent to SEK 200.0 (145.7). The sales of value-added services for property sellers - Hemnet Plus, Hemnet Premium, Raketen, Förnya annons (Renew ad) - continued to increase, which in combination with price adjustments across all products led to ARPL growing by 33.9 percent to SEK 3,163 (2,363). The number of published listings increased by 3.2 percent.

Net sales from other customers increased by 4.3 percent to SEK 69.7m (66.8). Last year included items affecting comparability of SEK 2.0m in the period, related to marketing activities carried out with Mäklarsamfundet (for further information on campaigns with Mäklarsamfundet, see Note K28 Related Party Transactions in the Annual and sustainability report for 2021). The remaining part of net sales from other customers increased by 7.6 percent to SEK 69.7 (64.8). Display revenue from real estate agents and banks continued to increase while the corresponding revenue from property developers and other customers decreased. Revenue from value-added services for real estate agents increased.

Capitalised development was SEK 2.9m (1.2) and related to investments in new products for property sellers and buyers, as well as new products for property developers and real estate agents.

Other external expenses decreased by 10.4 percent to SEK 86.8m (96.9). However, the first quarter 2021 included items affecting comparability of SEK 29.7m, consisting of SEK 25.9m related to IPO-preparations and SEK 3.8m for marketing campaigns carried out together with Mäklarsamfundet.

Other external expenses, excluding items affecting comparability, increased by 29.2 percent to SEK 86.8m (67.2). Most of these expenses was SEK 57.6m (42.8) administration and commission expenses to real estate agents, which increased by 34.6 percent because of the increasing revenue from listing related services. In addition, the second quarter last year also included SEK 2.2m related to education compensation to real estate agents. The remaining part increased by 19.7 percent to SEK 29.2m (24.4), mainly related to higher consultancy costs due to the continued focus on product development.

Personnel costs increased by 22.0 percent to SEK 41.0m (33.6), as the company continued to invest in new and existing personnel.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 31.0 percent to SEK 145.3m (110.9) and the adjusted EBITDA-margin was 53.9 percent (52.2).

EBITDA increased 74.6 percent to SEK 145.3m (83.2), corresponding to an EBITDA-margin of 53.9 (39.2) percent.

Adjusted EBITDA

A Net sales

  • B Compensation to real estate agents
  • C Other external expenses excl. comp. to real estate agents
  • D Personnel costs
  • E Other

Depreciation & amortisation amounted to SEK 17.8m (20.3), whereof amortisation of intangible assets, mainly from the acquisition of Hemnet, amounted to SEK 15.6m (18.2) and depreciation of right-of-use assets amounted to SEK 1.9m (1.8).

Operating profit increased 102.7 percent to SEK 127.5m (62.9), corresponding to an operating margin of 47.3 (29.6) percent. The increase in operating margin is due to both the fact that the second quarter of 2021 included SEK 29.7m of items affecting comparability as well as increasing net sales.

Financial items - net, improved from negative SEK 16.8m to negative SEK 1.2m, partly due to lower interest costs on bank loans because of both lower borrowing and lower interest rate on bank loans, but also partly due to the impact of capitalised arrangement fees for a previous credit facility in the same period last year. Interest costs on bank loans amounted to SEK 1.1m (2.6).

Tax expense amounted to SEK 26.3m (10.0), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 20.8 (21.6) percent.

Net profit for the period increased by SEK 63.9m and amounted to SEK 100.0m (36.1).

Cash flow and financial position

Cash flow from operating activities increased by SEK 65.1m and amounted to SEK 141.3m (76.2). The increase was primarily due to higher operating profit, with lower interest payments also having a positive effect, but this was partly offset by mainly higher tax payments following the higher profit in 2022. The change in working capital was positive at SEK 9.2m (3.3). Taxes paid during the quarter amounted to SEK -12.1m (-3.8).

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -4.1m (-1.5). Investments in intangible and tangible fixed assets totalled SEK -4.1m (-1.5) and related almost exclusively to capitalised development expenses of SEK 3.7m (-1.4).

Cash flow from financing activities totalled SEK -95.3m (-224.5), mainly as a result of the dividend payment of SEK -55.6m and share buybacks of SEK -40.3m. Amortisation of lease liabilities resulted in a cash flow of SEK -2.0m. During the same period last year, financing activities resulted in a cash flow of SEK -224.5m, mainly consisting of repayment of a previous credit facility of SEK -683.5m, drawdown of a new credit facility of SEK 500.0m and voluntary repayments on the new credit facility of SEK -50.0m.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 138.2m (94.5) and total interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 216.1m (283.1). Net debt thus amounted to SEK 77.9m (188.6), which corresponds to 0.2 (0.5) times adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months.

Total shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 1,576.1m (1,516.9), corresponding to an equity-to-assets ratio of 72.5 percent (71.1).

Financial position

Historical development of the Group's net debt and net debt in relation to rolling twelve months adjusted EBITDA.

Financial summary, January-June 2022

Net sales and profit

Net sales increased by 26.6 percent to SEK 449.3m (355.0).

Revenue from property sellers increased by 40.8 percent to SEK 320.8 (227.8). The sales of value-added services for property sellers - Hemnet Plus, Hemnet Premium, Raketen, Förnya annons (Renew ad) - increased, which in combination with price adjustments across all products led to ARPL growing by 36.5 percent to SEK 2,963 (2,171). The number of published listings increased by 3.5 percent.

Net sales from other customers increased by 1.0 percent to SEK 128.5m (127.2).

The remaining part of net sales from other customers increased by 4.3 percent to SEK 128.5 (123.2). Display revenue from real estate agents and banks increased while the corresponding revenue from property developers and other customers decreased. Revenue from value-added services for real estate agents increased.

Capitalised development was SEK 5.4m (3.8) and related to investments in new products for property sellers and buyers, as well as new products for property developers and real estate agents.

Other external expenses decreased by 17.7 percent to SEK 145.8m (177,2). However, the first six months of 2021 included items affecting comparability of SEK 55.7m, consisting of SEK 49.3m related to IPO-preparations and SEK 6.4m for marketing campaigns carried out together with Mäklarsamfundet.

Other external expenses, excluding items affecting comparability, increased by 20.0 percent to SEK 145.8m (121.5). Most of these expenses was SEK 92.6m (74.3) administration and commission expenses to real estate agents, which increased by 24.6 percent because of the increasing revenue from listing related services. In addition, the first six months of last year also included SEK 7.7m related to education compensation to real estate agents. The remaining part increased by 12.7 percent to SEK 53.2m (47.2), mainly related to higher consultancy costs due to the continued focus on product development.

Personnel costs increased by 21.4 percent to SEK 78.8m (64.9), as the company continued to invest in new and existing personnel.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 37.3 percent to SEK 230.8m (168.1) and the adjusted EBITDA-margin was 51.4 percent (47.4).

EBITDA increased 98.3 percent to SEK 230.8m (116.4), corresponding to an EBITDA-margin of 51.4 (32.8) percent.

Depreciation & amortisation amounted to SEK 35.5m (39.9), whereof amortisation of intangible assets, mainly from the acquisition of Hemnet, amounted to SEK 31.1m (35.7) and depreciation of right-of-use assets amounted to SEK 3.8m (3.6).

Operating profit increased 155.3 percent to SEK 195.3m (76.5), corresponding to an operating margin of 43.5 (21.5) percent. The increase in operating margin is due to both the fact that the first six month of 2021 included SEK 55.7m of items affecting comparability, as well as increasing net sales and the effect of the new compensation model for real estate agents that was launched 1 March 2021.

Financial items - net, improved from negative SEK 22.0m to negative SEK 2.8m, partly due to lower interest costs on bank loans because of both lower borrowing and lower interest rates on bank loans, but also partly due to the impact of capitalised arrangement fees for a previous credit facility in the same period last year. Interest costs on bank loans amounted to SEK 2.3m (6.5).

Tax expense amounted to SEK 40.0m (11.7), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 20.8 (21.5) percent.

Net profit for the period increased by SEK 109.7m and amounted to SEK 152.5m (42.8).

Cash flow and financial position

Cash flow from operating activities increased by SEK 126.0m and amounted to SEK 214.0m (88.0). The increase was primarily due to higher operating profit, with lower interest payments also having a positive effect, but this was partly offset by mainly higher tax payments following the higher profit in 2022. The change in working capital was positive at SEK 24.5m (1.3). Taxes paid during the period amounted to SEK -39.0m (-18.1).

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -8.1m (19.2). Investments in intangible and tangible fixed assets were in total SEK -8.1m (-5.5) and related almost exclusively to capitalised development expenses of SEK 7.0m (-5.2). During the same period last year, all interest-bearing securities were divested, which lead to a positive cash flow of SEK 24.7m.

Cash flow from financing activities totalled SEK -162.2m (-231.5), mainly because of voluntary repayments of bank loans of SEK -65.0m, dividend payment of SEK -55.6m and share buybacks of SEK -40.3m. Amortisation of lease liabilities resulted in a cash flow of SEK -3.9m. During the same period last year, financing activities resulted in a cash flow of SEK -231.5m, mainly consisting of repayment of a previous credit facility of SEK -688.6m, drawdown of a new credit facility of SEK 500.0m and voluntary repayments on the new credit facility of SEK -50.0m.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 138.2m (94.5) and total interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 216.1m (283.1). Net debt thus amounted to SEK 77.9m (188.6) which corresponds to 0.2 (0.5) times adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months.

Total shareholders' equity was SEK 1,576.1m (1,516.9), corresponding to an equity-to-assets ratio of 72.5 percent (71.1).

Parent company, financial development January-June

Net sales of the Parent company amounted to SEK 4.9m (3.5). All revenue refers to services to other Group companies. Operating profit/loss was SEK -3.3m (-48.8), where the previous year's result included expenses related to the preparation of the IPO amounting to SEK 47.5m, which were classified as items affecting comparability.

The assets of the Parent company consist mainly of investments in Group companies and Group receivables. The operations are financed by equity, bank loans and Group liabilities. The Parent company equity at the end of the period amounted to SEK 897.3m (996.9) and the equity ratio was 60.6 percent (59.3).

Other information

Covid-19 effects and the war in Ukraine

The Covid-19 pandemic have had a major impact on society but has not had any significant negative impact on Hemnet's financial results. The number of visits to Hemnet increased during the beginning of the pandemic and during the first half of 2021, after which the number of visits now has returned to more normal levels. During the period, the number of published listings increased as well as ARPL (average revenue per listing). Overall increased remote working during the pandemic has likely benefitted the interest in Hemnet, as the home and living environment became an even more important part of people's everyday life.

The war in Ukraine may have had a negative impact on traffic to Hemnet during a period of time. However, the company's assessment is that this has not had any material financial impact.

Employees

The number of employees at the end of the period was 121 compared to 115 at the end of June 2021 and 112 at the end of December 2021. The increase is primarily in the area of product development.

Repurchase and holding of treasury shares

The Annual General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors to, on one or more occasions during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, decide on the repurchase of own shares to such an extent that the

Company holds no more than ten (10) percent of all shares in the Company at any time after the acquisition. The maximum amount for repurchases during the period shall be SEK 450 million. Acquisitions shall be made on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price per share within the price interval registered at any given time. The purpose of the authorization is to adjust the Company's capital structure by reducing the share capital. The Board of Directors therefore intends to propose to the Annual General Meeting 2023 that the repurchased shares be cancelled.

In addition to the decision to launch the share repurchase program, Hemnet's Board of Directors has decided to use the authorization of the Annual General Meeting to resolve the acquisition of a maximum of 57,200 ordinary shares to ensure the delivery of shares to the participants of the 2022/2025 Share Savings Program. Acquisitions shall take place on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price per share within the price interval registered at any given time.

During the quarter – after the Annual General Meeting on April 27, 2022 – 252,177 shares were repurchased for a total of SEK 32.8m under the share repurchase program of SEK 450 million. In addition, 57,000 shares were repurchased for a total of SEK 7.5m as part of the company's commitment under the 2022/2025 Share Savings Program. The total number of treasury shares at the end of the quarter thus amounts to 309,177. The number of shares outstanding, excluding treasury shares, as of June 30, 2022, is 100,822,301. The total number of shares in the Company is 101,131,478.

Seasonality

Hemnet's sales and earnings are partly affected by seasonal fluctuations, mainly linked to vacation seasons and major holidays, as the number of listings and activity on Hemnets platforms tend to be lower during these periods than during other periods of the year. Seen over a financial year, the year begins with low volumes that gradually increase until the summer months where volumes decrease to lower levels and then increase again after the summer holiday period, before they decrease again ahead of the Christmas holidays.

Overall, the first quarter in particular tends to be weaker seasonally, both in terms of sales and earnings, while the second quarter tends to be the strongest.

Average revenue per listing, ARPL, is affected by certain seasonal effects. Listing revenue and revenue from listing related value-added services is, in accordance with IFRS, recognised over the average duration of a listing on Hemnet. The effect is that quarters that are preceded by a month with a high volume of listings and value-added services benefit. Historically, March and September have been such months with high volume of listings, giving a positive contribution to revenue and ARPL in the following month and therefore the second and the fourth quarter respectively.

Risks and uncertainties

Hemnet is through its operations exposed to risks and uncertainties. The income from listing fees is a significant part of sales. Hemnet's operations are therefore dependent on an efficient, well-functioning housing market with high mobility. Hemnet's advertising business has continued to develop positively, and we offer advertising both through direct sales and through programmatic trading. The development and trends for advertising purchases in the market can affect Hemnet's revenue both positively and negatively. For Hemnet, it is of great importance to have a good relationship with the real estate agents and to have a substantial range of listings. Hemnet's future business may be threatened if a deteriorating agent relationship would result in a reduction in the number of listings.

In addition to its own funds, the Group´s operations are also financed through borrowing. As a result, the business is exposed to financing risks and interest rate risk. The Group's overall risk management policy focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and strives to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial results.

For a detailed description of the risk factors and how they are managed, please refer to Hemnet's Annual Report 2021, pages 57-58. Hemnet's assessment is that no other significant risks or uncertainties have arisen during the period.

About Hemnet
