Group revenue

Our concepts have a strong value-for-money position. Our revenue growth has proven to be resilient, thus the effect of the current negative sentiment in the market for consumer goods, has been limited. Our growth this quarter indicates a countercyclical pattern and we have experienced positive effects by the successful launching of new categories and products as well as a successful campaign in Sweden. The growth in the quarter was driven by both increased customer traffic and basket size, and we witnessed a robust growth across all price-levels. The positive revenue development can partly be attributed to favorable shopping weather observed in the quarter.

Notably, we saw strong growth in established product categories as a result of constant productand assortment development. In addition, revenues from new categories introduced since 2017 amounted to more than MNOK 93 in the third quarter, which represents a growth of approx. 30% compared to last year. The limited and exclusive high-end collection "Atelier" was successfully launched in May and contributed with revenues of approx. MNOK 10 in Q3.

Moreover, the "Hemtex 50 Years" campaign has been particularly impactful this quarter, driving substantial customer traffic and revenues. Furthermore, our store investments continue to driving growth.

Extended

Revenues from the Extended assortment was MNOK 16.6 in the quarter. We observe that stores play a crucial role to the success of the concept and fuel the like-for-like growth. The sales comprise a varied mix of the assortment, including sofas, carpets and beds.

The Extended concept was launched in Norway in Q4-22 and has provided profitable growth both online and in physical stores. Based on this, we have decided to increase the number of Extended stores from the current 5 pilot stores to a total of 10 stores in Norway, and to open 3 new Extended stores in Sweden. As previously communicated, we plan to launch the extended assortment online in Hemtex during H1-24.

Omnichannel

The made-to-measure ("M2M") module launched in Q2-23, enabling physical stores to sell M2M products, also contributed to positive revenue development in the third quarter of MNOK 4.2 (MNOK 1.8).

Gross margin

Overseas freight rates peaked during 2022 and negatively impacted gross margin. Normalised freight rate levels, in combination with price adjustments implemented during Q1, resulted in a gross margin for the quarter in line with historical levels.

Financial Review for the Kid Group

A strong quarter in terms of footfall and basket size resulted in double-digit growth in Q3. Gross margin improved as a result of normalised freight rate levels and adjustment of prices. OPEX increased on the back of general salaryand price increases, as well as bonus provisions. In total, we reached all-time high EBITDA for the Group in the third quarter.

Group revenue

Total revenue increased by 13.1% (-2.1%). The Group's revenue showed consistent growth in every month of the quarter. In constant currency, Group revenue increased by 12.1% (+0.5%). Net new stores contributed positively.

The like-for-like increase was 12.9% (-0.4%) in the quarter. Both Kid Interior and Hemtex experienced a positive revenue development in both physical stores and online.

Online revenues increased by 26.8% (+39.4%) in the quarter and represented 11.7% (10.3%) of total revenues.

Categories launched since 2017 accounted for MNOK 93.3 (MNOK 71.8) in revenues, of which the Extended assortment accounted for MNOK 16.6 (MNOK 0).

Gross margin

Both segments experienced increased gross margins compared to Q3-22.

As previously communicated, the gross margin in Q3-22 was unusually low as the high freight rates in 2022 were not sufficiently incorporated in our price calculation models.

Financial Review for the Kid Group

Employee expenses increased by MNOK 17.0 to MNOK 161.5:

  • MNOK 1.9 in LFL stores mainly due to general salary increases, partly offset by a reduction in working hours following tight cost control in both segments
  • MNOK 0.6 in net new stores
  • MNOK 1.9 in HQ costs due to general salary increase and increased number of employees
  • MNOK 4.1 in Logistics mainly due to the new central warehouse in Sweden
  • MNOK 7.2 due to higher bonus provisions compared to last year
  • MNOK 1.3 due to changes in SEKNOK exchange rate

Other operating expenses decreased by MNOK -8.2 to MNOK 113.9:

  • MNOK 0.8 in net new stores
  • MNOK 10.9 in LFL stores, mainly related to index adjustment of rental costs and increased shared operating costs, however reduced due to decreased electricity costs
  • MNOK -2.0 from reduced marketing costs
  • MNOK -0.6 in HQ costs, mainly due to high store operating consumables last year in Kid
  • MNOK -4.8 in Logistics operating costs

mainly due to personnel costs in Sweden, now presented as employee expenses

  • MNOK -13.9 related to change in IFRS 16 effects, reflecting the increase in rental cost in Logistics, HQ and stores due to index regulations, re-negotiated contracts and net new stores
  • MNOK 1.4 due to changes in SEKNOK exchange rate

EBITDA increased compared to Q3 last year mainly due to increased revenue and improved gross margin.

Net financial expenses of MNOK 20.2 (MNOK 12.4) relates to net interest expenses of MNOK 7.8 (MNOK 4.1), net other financial expenses of MNOK 0.6 (MNOK 1.0), net FX expenses of MNOK 0.6 (MNOK 0.1) and IFRS 16 interest expenses of MNOK 11.2 (MNOK 7.2).

Liquidity and borrowings

During the quarter, a new revolving credit facility (RCF) agreement of MNOK 230 has been signed with Nordea replacing the two previous RCF agreements. The maturity date has been prolonged to the end of April 2026.

Excluding IFRS 16 effects, net interestbearing debt was MNOK 747.5 (MNOK 815.9) at the end of the quarter, corresponding to a gearing ratio of 1.72x (1.62x) of LTM EBITDA. The Group had cash and available credit facilities of MNOK 271.1 (MNOK 132.8) as of 30 September 2023, and has a satisfactorily liquidity situation.

Capital expenditures (CAPEX) amounted to MNOK 24.6 (MNOK 22.8) during Q3 of which investment in the new warehouse in Sweden accounted for MNOK 2.2 (MNOK 7.8), and the remaining MNOK 22.4 (MNOK 15.0) mainly reflects store openings and refurbishments.
