Kid ASA
Interim report Q1 2021
Dear Shareholders
Q1 was another strong quarter for the Kid Group, and our first Q1 ever with positive net profit, driven by continued high revenue growth combined with increased gross margin and cost control. Rapidly changing Governmental restrictions related to Covid-19 make our operations unpredictable and underline the importance of agile management. We are launching new products at a high rate and capitalizing on the increased demand for home and interior.
These are the key takeaways from the first quarter:
- In order to offset the impact of temporary store closures across Norway, we focused our marketing and operations towards innovative and covid-friendly measures such as 'Click and collect'. We also shifted marketing spending towards digital channels in all markets, with positive effect on sales.
- Kid Interior launched 'Instore online orders' that makes online stock and functionality available for customers inside the physical stores. The solution widens our product offering and reduces the negative impact of out-of-stock situations in stores.
- Our total efforts generated double digit growth despite that one of four stores were closed during the quarter on average in Kid Interior. By developing and adapting our omni channel to the current market situation, we have been able to maintain operations in our closed stores. This has enabled us to provide predictability for our employees by giving notice of temporally layoffs to as few people as possible.
- Hemtex 24H is our B2B solution designed and sourced by Hemtex for wholesale retailers. After the acquisition of Hemtex in 2019, we have gradually increased our efforts in growing this business segment and we are happy to present a growth of 84% in Q1. We see a significant potential in growing Hemtex 24H going forward with our dedicated Swedish team.
- Continued development and refurbishing the store portfolio. We have identified opportunities for re-negotiations, relocation, and new stores going forward. During Q1, lease agreements were signed for two new store openings in Sweden, in Karlskrona in Q2 and central Malmø in Q3. In total, we have signed lease agreements for a total of five new stores scheduled to open in 2021.
- On 20 March, Kid ASA was included in the OSEBX index on the Oslo Stock Exchange. For us, this is an acknowledgement of the successful development in Kid, and we take pride in joining a strong group of companies in this prestigious index going forward.
I remain impressed by our employees' willingness to adapt and their loyalty and dedication. Looking ahead to the upcoming warmer season, we look forward to inspiring customers with our summer collections, and to launch an extended assortment for outdoor furniture, pots and lighting!
Yours sincerely,

Financial review for the Kid Group
Q1 2021 was yet another strong quarter for the Kid Group both in terms of revenues and profitability.
The Covid-19 cost reduction effect in the quarter, is estimated at MNOK 7.2 (MNOK 0).
Revenues
Group revenues increased by 10.4% to MNOK 569.1 (MNOK 515.5) based on a constant currency calculation, and by 12.0% when applying actual currency (MNOK 508.0). Group revenues on a likefor-like basis were up by 9.3%.
Revenues increased in both segments despite reduced footfall to physical stores as a result of Covid-19 restrictions, mainly driven by increased online shopping and compensating sales initiatives utilizing the omni channel platform.

Q1 2020 vs Q1 2021 revenue bridge, MNOK
Gross margin was 61.0%, up 0.9 percentage points compared to Q1 2020.
The increase in gross margin is a consequence of higher purchasing volumes enabling improved purchasing terms with suppliers and a more favourable product mix.

Employee benefits expenses decreased by MNOK 1.7 to MNOK 140. In Kid Interior, reversed bonus provisions from 2020 of MNOK 5.4 (MNOK 3.3) positively affected the cost in Q1 2021. In Hemtex employee benefits expenses decreased mainly due to fewer employees at the HQ in Borås.
Other operating expenses excluding IFRS16 decreased by MNOK 3.1 to MNOK 169.7. Kid Interior had an increase in OPEX due to revenue related cost from higher online sales, opening of new stores and increased HQ staff. Hemtex had a reduction in OPEX (in local currency) due to a combination of reduced marketing spending, decreased retail space rental cost and a one-off cost last year of MNOK 2.6 related to the warehouse relocation.
OPEX to sales margin was 54% (62%).
Further details on employee benefits and operating expenses can be found in the segment sections below.
Adjusted EBITDA increased from MNOK 64.7 to MNOK 112.7. EBITDA was adjusted for transaction and integration costs in Q1 2020 of MNOK 1.2. No such adjustments were made in Q1 2021.
Interim Report Q1 2021 Kid ASA

EBITDA exclusive of IFRS16 effects was MNOK 39.5 compared to an adjusted EBITDA of MNOK -7.7 last year. The increase of MNOK 47.2 is due to strong revenue growth with increased margins and stringent cost control.

Net financial expense of MNOK 17.3 mainly relates to net interest expenses of MNOK 3.5 and unrealized foreign exchange loss of MNOK 13 related to Hemtex.

Despite reduced footfall in the quarter following temporarily closed stores due to governmental Covid-19 restrictions, revenues increased across all categories driven by higher basket size in physical stores and an online growth of 84.3%. Online revenues were MNOK 31.8 in the quarter.
'Click and collect', 'shop via chat' and 'Instore online orders' have been important and effective initiatives to offset the impact of store closures.
