Kid ASA

Interim report Q3 2022

Dear Shareholders

In a challenging market, we managed to maintain stable revenues compared to last year. However, we regret to report that the high freight rates in 2022 have not sufficiently been incorporated in our price calculation models, which resulted in a gross margin decrease.

These are the key takeaways from the third quarter:

• New categories remain a key growth driver. Revenues from new categories introduced since 2017
• increased by 21% from MNOK 60¹ to MNOK 72¹ during the quarter with the highest growth from 'Outdoor range', 'Homewear' and 'Lighting and Lamps'.
• 'Premium Collection' was introduced as a concept for higher quality curtains and pillows, and the new 'Nice & Tidy' was introduced as a concept for cleaning products and products helping to organize our customer's homes.
• Our new growth initiative 'Kid Extended' is ready to launch in Norway. Our goal is to fuel growth by broadening existing categories, increased space for inspiration and introducing new categories, e.g. beds and furniture. 'Kid Extended' was introduced online and made available through our "instore online orders" in Norway early in Q4 and will be piloted in five new and bigger stores over the next months.
• Based on the experiences of last year's delayed deliveries before our peak season in Q4, we decided to place orders earlier this year. However, deliveries this year took place earlier than expected and, hence, is an important reason for the increased inventory levels compared to last year, in addition to new stores, category expansions and increased costs of raw materials and freight.

• Freight spot rates have been unusual high during 2022. Unfortunately, the volatility in fright cost has not been incorporated in our price calculation model leading to an unexpected drop in gross margin during Q3. Our current inventory has a relatively high share of freight costs that will be charged as the goods are sold in the upcoming quarters, and we will not be able to meet our Financial Objectives for 2022. With freight spot rates decreasing, and our immediate actions to ensure normalised gross margin for future goods purchases, we expect gradual improvement of the gross margin during 2023.

On the back of a more challenging macro environment, we remain confident that we are well positioned as a value-for-money retailer. We are now well prepared for the most important season of the year. I would like to take the opportunity to wish all our stakeholders a Merry Christmas.

Yours sincerely,

¹ Assuming SEK/NOK 1.00

Financial review for the Kid Group

Group revenues increased by 0.5% compared to last year. EBITDA fell by MNOK 76.9, caused by a reduction in the gross margin of 5.9 percentage points as well as increased operating expenses.

The Covid-19 cost reduction effect in the quarter is estimated at MNOK 0.0 (MNOK 1.4).

Revenues

Group revenues increased by +0.5% (+3.6%) to MNOK 734.7 (MNOK 731.1) based on a constant currency calculation and decreased by -2.1% when applying actual currency (MNOK 750.6). Group revenues on a like-for-like basis were down by -0.4% (+0.1%).

Both Kid Interior and Hemtex experienced a reduction in footfall to physical stores particularly in August while footfall increased in the last half of September.

Both Kid Interior and Hemtex saw increased online revenues benefiting from our e-commerce platform launched one year ago. Group online growth was 39.4%, corresponding to online revenues of MNOK 75.1 in Q3.

Revenues from new categories increased by 20.6% from MNOK 59.5¹ to MNOK 71.8¹ with the highest growth from 'Outdoor range', 'Homewear' and 'Lighting and Lamps'.

Q3 2021 vs Q3 2022 revenue bridge, MNOK

¹ Assuming SEK/NOK 1.00

Gross profit decreased by MNOK 53.4 to MNOK 407.8 with gross margin at 55.5%, down 5.9 percentage points compared to Q3 2021. The decline was mainly caused by increased freight costs without corresponding price adjustments, but also higher sales volumes of rebated summer seasonal products.

Overseas freight cost expressed as percentage of cost of goods sold was 21.7% in Q3 2022, up from 10.9% in Q3 2021.

MNOK 6 of the recognized freight cost in Q3 2022 is related to the first six months of 2022.

As a result of these high freight costs in 2022, we expect gross margin for the fiscal year 2022 to be lower than the past 10-year range.

We now see freight spot rates at significantly lower levels, and through our freight agreement lower freight cost will materialize on purchased goods with arrival dates from end of 2022 and onwards. Consequently, with freight rates coming down and as we turn the current inventory over the next 6-8 months, we expect a gradual reduction in freight costs going forward.

Combined with actions to secure normalized margins for future purchases, we expect a gradual gross margin improvement during 2023. Our Financial Objective of achieving a stable gross margin in line with the past 10 years, remains unchanged for 2023.

Gross margin:

Employee benefits expenses increased by +1.8% to MNOK 144.5:

• +1.6 percentage points due to net new stores
• +0.8 percentage points in LFL stores mainly due to vacation pay related to timing of staff vacation and increased sick leave
• -2.5 percentage points due to lower bonus provisions this year
• +4.5 percentage points in headquarter costs mainly due to increased number of employees, general salary increase and store manager kickoff
• -2.6 percentage points due to changes in SEK/NOK exchange rate

FX effects represented a decrease in employee benefit expenses of approximately MNOK 3.8 following a weaker SEK/NOK in Q3 2022 compared to Q3 2021.

Other operating expenses including IFRS 16 increased by 21.3% to MNOK 122.1:

• +2.7 percentage points related to rental costs and other operating costs in net new stores
• +4.2 percentage points in LFL stores mainly related to increased rental space in Hemtex, as well as higher shared operating- and marketing costs
• +5.8 percentage points from planned, increased marketing costs in the quarter
• +13.9 percentage points mainly related to increase logistics costs following higher inventory levels (MNOK 3.0), increased cost of electricity (MNOK 4.0), increased cost from store operating consumables (MNOK 2.0) and volume related online transportation costs (MNOK 2.2)
• -1.7 percentage points related to change in IFRS 16 effects
• -3.6 percentage points due to changes in SEK/NOK exchange rate

FX effects accounted for a decrease in other operating expenses of approximately MNOK 3.7 following a weaker SEK/NOK in Q3 2022 compared to Q3 2021.

OPEX (excluding IFRS 16) to sales margin was 46.1% (41.9%).

EBITDA decreased by MNOK 76.9 to MNOK 142.7 due to a reduced gross margin following the freight costs situation described above.

Net financial expense of MNOK 12.4 (MNOK 10.9) relates to net interest expenses of MNOK 4.7 (MNOK 3.7), interest income from joint venture of MNOK 0.6 (MNOK 0), net other financial expenses of MNOK 1.0 (MNOK 0.6), net foreign exchange loss of MNOK 0.1 (MNOK 0.3) and IFRS16 interest expense of MNOK 7.2 (MNOK 6.4).

Inventory level peaking in Q3 due to earlier goods delivery than expected, increased freight costs, new stores, as well as new assortment. We expect a build-down towards more normalized levels in 2023. Liquidity and borrowings. MNOK 130 of the revolving credit facility was fully utilized at the end of the quarter. Excluding IFRS16 effects, net interest-bearing debt was MNOK 815.9 (MNOK 485.5) at the end of the quarter, corresponding to 1.62x (0.83x) of the LTM EBITDA excluding IFRS16. The Group had cash and available credit facilities of MNOK 132.8 (MNOK 505.0) as of 30 September 2022. The Group has a satisfactory liquidity situation.

Capital Expenditures during Q3 amounted to MNOK 22.8 (MNOK 19.2) of which investment in the new ecommerce platform accounted for MNOK 1.5 (MNOK 4.9), investment in the new warehouse in Sweden MNOK 7.8 (MNOK 0) and the remaining MNOK 13.5 (MNOK 14.3) mainly reflect store openings and refurbishments.

Events after the end of the reporting period

Kid ASA released a stock announcement on 4 November 2022 related to lower gross margin in Q3 2022 due to high freight costs. The higher freight cost is expected to negatively impact the gross margin for Q4 2022 and into 2023. With freight spot rates currently decreasing combined with actions to secure normalized margins for future purchases, we expect a gradual gross margin improvement during 2023. Our Financial Objective; stable gross margin in line with the past 10 years, remains unchanged for 2023.

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