REVENUES

Gross margin

Strong gross margin development

  • Group gross margin was 62.1% for the quarter, up by 6.6 pp compared to Q3-22
    • Kid Interior gross margin increased by 8.5 pp to 62.8% (54.3%)
    • Hemtex gross margin increased by 3.3 pp to 60.8% (57.5%)
  • Freight rates back to pre-Covid level during 2023, and combined with price adjustments implemented during Q1, we now see a gross margin in line with historical levels
  • Gross margin in Q3-22, Q4-22 and Q1-23 was unusually low as the high freight rates in 2022 were not sufficiently incorporated in our price calculation models

OPEX

OPEX-TO-SALES (excl. IFRS 16) of 43.6% (46.1%)

  • Employee benefit expenses increased by MNOK 17.0
    • Increased bonus provisions and general salary increase
    • Increased Logistics due to own employees in new Swedish warehouse of MNOK 4.2
    • Tight cost control in like-for-like stores
    • MNOK 1.3 due to changes in SEKNOK exchange rate
  • Other operating expenses decreased by MNOK -8.2
    • Reduced electricity costs by MNOK -2.8
    • Reduced logistics costs by MNOK -4.8 due to shift between other OPEX and employee expenses for the logistics operation in Sweden
    • MNOK 1.4 due to changes in SEKNOK exchange rate
