The second quarter is our most weather-dependent period of the year as we target the Norwegian consumer's outdoor home environment. It is also peak season for home refurbishment and improvement. Norway experienced unusually warm and dry weather during May and June and despite a negative impact on several retailers and lower footfall in many shopping centres, Kid saw strong sales figures for our seasonal spring and summer goods. The full-year assortment, however, showed negative growth over this period. This resulted in a disappointing total growth of just 1% this quarter. However,through strong cost and margin control we managed to maintain an acceptable EBITDA level.
These are the key takeaways from the second quarter:
being compliant with GDPR. The customer club is an important digital communication channel for us and we are now working on implementing a new CRM system that will enable us to tailor communication to the individual club members, making this channel even more relevant and valuable to our customers.
As we publish this report, we are launching our back-to-school campaign in August. This marks the beginning of our most important sales period of the year in Q3 and Q4. We are well prepared for the season with a new assortment, fresh marketing material and 140 inspirational stores working alongside our online shop.
Yours sincerely,
Kjersti Hobøl CEO

The figures reported in the Q2 report have not been subject to a review by the Group's auditor PwC, and the preparation has required management to make accounting judgements and estimates that impact the figures. Figures from the corresponding period the previous year are in brackets, unless otherwise specified.
Revenues in the second quarter amounted to MNOK 281.5 (MNOK 278.4) in Q2 2018, an increase of 1.1% (4.9%) compared to the second quarter of 2017. The number of ordinary shopping days in the second quarter was 73, compared to 71 days last year due to the timing of Easter. For the first two quarters of 2018, revenues increased by 4.5% (7.3%). The number of ordinary shopping days for the first two quarters was 148 (148).
Online sales increased by 72.3% (46.7%) in the second quarter of 2018. The online growth increase was driven by the new category "made to measure sun screening" which was launched in March 2018. Last twelve months, online revenues were MNOK 53.1 (MNOK 36.2) as of 30 June 2018 - a growth of 46.8% from the corresponding period last year.
During the second quarter of 2018, a new store was opened at Forus (Stavanger). The stores at Sortland and Rosenlund (Lillehammer) were relocated, and the stores at Mosenteret (Mo i Rana), AMFI Borg (Sarpsborg), AMFI Namsos (Namsos), Horisont (Bergen) and AMFI Svolvær (Svolvær) were refurbished. The total number of physical stores at the end of the quarter was 140 (134).
Gross margin was 61.5% (61.6%) for the second quarter, and 60.0% (60.8%) for the first two quarters. Kid ASA has applied IFRS9 and hedge accounting retrospectively, with initial application from 1 January 2015. All references to historical financial figures are based on IFRS 9 in this report.
Operating expenses, including employee benefit expenses, were MNOK 153.0 (MNOK 149.8) in the second quarter, up 2.1% from Q2 2017. For the first two quarters of 2018, operating expenses including employee benefit expenses amounted to MNOK 303.6 (MNOK 295.2). There were no adjustments for extraordinary operating expenses in 2017 or 2018.
Employee expenses decreased by -0.3% to MNOK 71.3 (MNOK 71.6) in the second quarter:
Other operating expenses increased by 4.3% in the quarter to MNOK 81.6 (MNOK 78.2):
2.8 percentage points related to retail space rental costs for net new stores.
EBITDA amounted to MNOK 20.1 (MNOK 21.6) in the second quarter. This represents an EBITDA margin of 7.1% (7.7%).
EBITDA for the first two quarters of 2018 was MNOK 30.0 (MNOK 28.8), an increase of 4.2% driven by revenue growth, a decrease of gross margin and increased cost efficiency.
EBIT amounted to MNOK 10.8 (MNOK 13.2) in the second quarter. This represents an EBIT margin of 3.8% (4.7%). EBIT was affected by increased depreciation due to last year's CAPEX levels.
EBIT for the first two quarters amounted to MNOK 11.5 (MNOK 12.4), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 2.1% (2.3%).
Net financial expenses amounted to MNOK 4.0 (MNOK 3.0) in the second quarter, and MNOK 7.0 (MNOK 6.2) for the first two quarters of 2018.
The increase in financial expenses was driven by higher net interest bearing debt during the quarter combined with increased interest rate and margin. Reference is made to the Q2-2017 report were the current lending agreement is described.
Net income amounted to MNOK 5.2 (MNOK 7.8) in the second quarter. Net income for the first two quarters was MNOK 3.4 (MNOK 4.7).
According to the hedging strategy, Kid ASA hedge 100% of the USDNOK goods purchases approximately 6 months ahead by entering into foreign exchange contracts. Hedges for the period July to December 2018 have a weighted exchange rate of 7.76 compared to 8.35 for the same period last year.
There have been no other significant events after the end of the reporting period.

Kid ASA and its subsidiaries` (together the "company" or the "Group") operating activities are related to the resale of home textiles on the Norwegian market.
All amounts in the interim financial statements are presented in NOK 1 000 unless otherwise stated.
Due to rounding, there may be differences in the summation columns.
These condensed interim financial statements for the three and twelve months ended 30 June 2018 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting'. The condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union ('IFRS').
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the annual IFRS financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.
Amendments to IFRSs effective for the financial year ending 31 December 2018 are not expected to have a material impact on the group.
The group adopted IFRS 15 as of 1 January 2018 using the full retrospective approach. The implementation of IFRS 15 does not have a material effect on total reported revenues, expenses, assets or liabilities.
The group will implement IFRS 16 from 1.1.2019 by applying the modified retrospective approach. At the date of initial application of the new leases standard, lessees recognise the cumulative effect of initial application as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity as of 1 January 2019. Please see the 2017 annual report for further information about the implementation principles and the expected effects on the financial statements.
The Preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed interim financial statements the significant judgements made by management inn applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.
The Group sells home textiles in 140 fully owned stores across Norway and through the Group's online website. Over 98% of the products are sold under own brands. The Group's aggregate online sales are approximately equal to the sales of one physical store and it is therefore not considered as a separate segment. The Norwegian market is not divided into separate geographical regions with distinctive characteristics and Kid's operations cannot naturally be split in further segments.
he group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The condensed interim financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2017. There have been no changes in any risk management policies since the year end.
Set out below is a comparison of the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017.

All financial instruments for which fair value is recognized or disclosed are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole, as follows:
Level 1 Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
There were no transfers between Levels or changes in valuation techniques during the period. All of the Group's financial instruments that are measured at fair value are classified as level 2.
Level 2 trading and hedging derivatives comprise forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps. These forward foreign exchange contracts have been fair valued using forward exchange rates that are quoted in an active market. Interest rate swaps are fair valued using forward interest rates extracted from observable yield curves. The effects of discounting are generally insignificant for Level 2 derivatives.
