Interim report Q2 2020 Kid ASA

Interim Report Q2 2020 Kid ASA

Dear Shareholders

In the second quarter of 2020, our primary focus has been the Covid-19 situation and its implications for our business. I am proud of the team effort our dedicated employees have made during these challenging and uncertain times. Together, we have successfully managed our operations while simultaneously handling temporary lay-offs, store closures and a volatile demand for our products. As a result, we are happy to report strong financial performance for the quarter, including double digit like-for-like sales growth across all categories and all-time-high profitability.

These are the key takeaways from the second quarter:

  • Strong sales growth across all traditional categories, fuelled by recently launched products. Our new outdoor product range was a contributor to increased revenues, including outdoor furniture, plant pots, etc. Furthermore, this also demonstrates Kid's potential and capability of product and assortment development.
  • As a result of the Covid-19 outbreak, sales in all markets dropped instantly in the second half of March. In Kid Interior, sales picked up again in early April, and following a cautious start to the quarter, Hemtex sales picked up and reached full speed throughout May. Our five Estonian Hemtex stores were closed during the quarter and are now operating as normal.
  • We do not foresee major sourcing challenges going forward. However, both sourcing and market conditions can change fast if a challenging Covid-19 situation persists.

  • From our perspective, the Covid-19 governmental support measures have been important, and especially the arrangement for temporarily lay-offs. Financially, Kid utilized the option of postponing tax payments. According to our estimates, Kid qualified for a MNOK 3.5 refund under the Business Compensation Scheme ("Kontantstøtteordningen") in Norway on the back of a dramatic sales drop in March. However, as revenues and profitability increased significantly in April and May, we decided not to apply for a refund.
  • Introduction of the Kid store concept in Hemtex stores has proven successful. In early March, Hemtex launched Dekosol technical sun screening, which rapidly became a popular category among customers. Going forward, we will continue to introduce the Kid Interior product assortment.
  • During the outbreak of Covid-19 we decided to postpone store investments. While only two stores were refurbished during the quarter, we have subsequently initiated several refurbishments which will be finalized before the Christmas season. We have also signed a new store, opening at Giraffen in Kalmar (Sweden) during the third quarter.
  • The Autostore has been successfully installed and is fully operational at the Norwegian central warehouse in Lier, and we already experience improved cost efficiency for our logistics operation. Going forward, we will increase inventory availability for online customers, hopefully adding to online sales.
  • Social responsibility continues to be an integrated and important part of Kid's business. During the quarter, we launched Petra duvets and pillows which are made of 100% recycled polyester and are GRS certified. This is another positive step towards a sustainable future where we use more recycled materials. We have also continued to purchase climate quotas to compensate for our direct climate emissions in the Norwegian operation.

Again, I acknowledge the dedicated hard work from our employees during a challenging quarter. Planning for the following months and quarters is even more challenging than before, but we believe in continued demand for our products. I am confident that we possess both the right concept and business culture, which enables us to exploit emerging opportunity.

Yours sincerely,

gAnders Fjeld Second quarter in brief

Financial review for the Kid Group

Despite the COVID-19 outbreak, Kid Group had a very strong quarter both in terms of revenues and profitability. Profitability increased also due to certain one-off cost savings during Q2, mainly following temporarily personnel lay-offs and reduced travelling and meeting activity. Total oneoff costs savings are estimated at MNOK 23.5. Cost savings are partly offset by bonus provisions due to strong financial performance. Further details are described under the respective segments in the sections below.

Revenues

Proforma Group revenues increased by 22.7% to MNOK 660.5. Pro forma Q2 2019 revenues of MNOK 538.0 include Hemtex revenues of MNOK 216.6. Proforma group revenues on a likefor-like basis were up by 12.1%.

After the first days of initial sales drop in the second half of March, demand quickly improved from the start of Q2 in Norway and subsequently also in Sweden, reaching all-time-high levels throughout the quarter. Only a few stores were temporarily closed in Norway, no stores were closed in Sweden.

The situation in Finland was more challenging, despite no store closings, with revenues decreasing by 5.5% to MNOK 15.9. Furthermore, all stores in Estonia were temporally closed during the quarter, resulting in a revenue decrease of 13.6% to MNOK 5.2. Finland and Estonia account for less than 5% of Group revenues.

Q2 2019 vs Q2 2020 revenue bridge, MNOK

Gross margin was 61.9% which is a reduction of 0.7 percentage points compared to Q2 2019. The decrease was due to favourable FX rates positions last year, together with earlier start of mid-season campaigns in Kid Interior and high volumes during campaigns in Hemtex.

Gross margin:

Kid Group has increased its FX-hedging policy to include a period of 8 to 11 months of estimated purchases compared to previously 4 to 7 months.

Employee benefits expenses increased by MNOK 31.5 to MNOK 140.2 mainly due to the inclusion of Hemtex. As further described in the respective Segment sections below, comparable employee benefits expenses are in fact reduced both because of integration effects, but also oneoff cost reductions following Covid-19. The cost decrease was partly offset by bonus provisions in Kid Interior following strong financial performance during the quarter.

Interim Report Q2 2020 Kid ASA

Operating expenses

Excluding IFRS16, Operating Expenses increased by MNOK 8.3 to MNOK 92.6 caused by the inclusion of Hemtex. Comparable operating expenses are reduced following Covid-19 and are otherwise in line with expectations. Further details are described in the Segment sections below.

Adjusted EBITDA increased from MNOK 85.8 to MNOK 176.0 mainly due to higher sales volume and the inclusion of Hemtex. EBITDA was adjusted for transaction and integration costs in Q2-2019, while no such adjustments are made in Q2-2020.

Exclusive of IFRS16 effects, EBITDA was MNOK 104.6 compared to an adjusted EBITDA of MNOK 34.7 last year. The increase of MNOK 69.9 is caused by an increase in sales volumes for both Kid and Hemtex, and the inclusion of half a quarter of Hemtex.

For Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted Net income, a complete overview of adjustments is provided in the following table:

Segment: Kid Interior

Revenues in Kid Interior increased by 28.0% to MNOK 411.5. Like-for-like revenues including online sales were up by +27.1%. Sales have been unusually high all through the quarter and across all categories. The number of customers was at last year's level in April after which they increased in May and June, resulting in 9% more customers during Q2 compared to last year. Revenue per customer also increased by 12%.

Online sale increased by 67.7% to MNOK 31.1.

Gross profit increased by MNOK 52.9 compared to last year caused by higher revenues. Gross margin was 0.8 percentage points lower than the same quarter last year due to a favourable USDNOK position last year and an earlier start of the midseason sale.

Employee expenses increased by 12.0% to MNOK 88.8:

  • -0.3 percentage points due to net new and relocated stores
  • -11.4 percentage points reduction mainly due to less hours in LFL stores due to temporarily lay-offs following Covid-19
  • +0.3 percentage points increase due to more hours in online store
  • +4.7 percentage points due to general salary inflation and increased staffing level at HQ
  • +18.7 percentage points due to bonus provisions driven by strong financial performance. Bonus provisions in Q2 was MNOK 8.9 (MNOK 2.5) for store employees, MNOK 4.0 (MNOK 0.8) for HQ and MNOK 5.2 (MNOK 0) as a bonus provision related to integration of Hemtex.

Store bonuses are a function of actual vs budgeted EBITDA per store for the fiscal year ending 31 December, and is capped at a maximum cost of MNOK 0,23. Subject to actual results for the remainder of the year, other management and HQ bonuses of an additional maximum of MNOK 6.8 including social taxes can be provisioned.

Other operating expenses excluding IFRS16, decreased by -0.3% to MNOK 88.5:

  • 2.0 percentage points related to retail space and cost for LFL stores
  • 0.5 percentage points related to retail space and cost for net new stores
  • -2.6 percentage points related to a decrease in marketing costs mainly related to Covid-19
  • -0.2 percentage points related to less activity due to Covid-19, as well as lower prices on electricity

The total Covid-19 cost effect has been estimated at MNOK 12.0 of which reduced employee expenses caused by temporarily lay-offs accounted for MNOK 9.0. Remaining cost savings of MNOK 3.0 mainly relates to rental costs and other costs like travelling etc. Included is also a refund of MNOK 0.5 due to Covid-19 related sick-leaves.

EBITDA increased by MNOK 43.8 mainly due to higher revenues as described above.

Q2 2019 vs. Q2 2020 EBITDA bridge, MNOK

Capital Expenditures during Q2 amounted to MNOK 4.3.

No new stores were opened, relocated or closed, and two stores were refurbished during the quarter. The total number of physical stores at the end of the quarter was 143 which is the same number as Q2 last year.

Segment: Hemtex

The acquisition of Hemtex took place on 15 May 2019 and Hemtex is therefor included with "half" a quarter in Q2 2019. Hence, figures are not directly comparable. Revenue figures are adjusted on a proforma basis by including first half of Q2 2019 based on financial management accounts.

The integration is progressing according to plan.

Revenues in Hemtex increased by 14.7% on a pro forma basis to MNOK 249.0. The number of customers during Q2 2020 was 10% lower than Q2 2019, but average revenue per customer was 18% higher. The introduction of a limited selection of Kid products during Q2 has proven successful.

Online sale increased by 103.0% to MNOK 35.6.

Gross margin decreased by 1.6 pp compared to Q2 2019 due to increased rebate volumes during midseason sales and a less favourable FX-position.

Employee expenses increased from MNOK 29.4 to MNOK 51.3, but with Q2 2019 only representing half a quarter. From management accounts presenting a full Q2 2019, the underlying cost structure is lower than last year reflecting a reduction of employees at Hemtex HQ.

Operating expenses excluding IFRS 16 increased from MNOK 22.3 to MNOK 41.2, but with Q2 2019 only representing half a quarter. From management accounts showing a full Q2 2019 the underlying cost structure is lower than last year.

The total Covid-19 cost effect has been estimated at MNOK 11.5 of which reduced employee expenses caused by temporarily lay-offs accounted for MNOK 6.0. Remaining cost savings of MNOK 5.5 mainly relates to rental costs and other costs like travelling ect. Included is also a refund of MNOK 0.8 due to Covid-19 related sick-leaves.

EBITDA was MNOK 63.5 which is an increase of 46.1 from last year's "half" quarter with MNOK 17.4.

Following the integration of Hemtex, certain group costs and capital expenditures have been booked in Kid Interior. Such costs will during 2020 be further assessed and allocated to the respective segments, based on common accepted methodology.

Capital Expenditures during Q2 amounted to MNOK 12.5.

There were no changes to the store portfolio in Hemtex during the quarter. The total number of physical stores at the end of the quarter was 132 compared to 140 at the end of Q2 2019.

Events after the end of the reporting period

From mid-August the risk of new outbreak of the pandemic situation has increased. The management is monitoring the situation closely.

There have been no significant events after the end of the reporting period.
