The first half of the year also includes further non-recurring costs of SEK -14.0 million of which SEK 7.0 million was attributed to the Nelly.com warehouse relocation and SEK 7.0 million was attributed to Nelly.com's adjusted return offset model.

CEO's statement

Paul Fischbein, President and CEO of CDON Group commented: "The second quarter was another strong growth quarter for CDON Group with a sales increase of 38%. We continue to grow faster than both the traditional retail and online market, thereby strengthening our position in the e-commerce market."

"During the second quarter, we worked intensively to consolidate CDON.com as the leading internet shopping mall in the Nordic region. Tretti.com's assortment of white goods, household appliances and outdoor products were recently added to CDON.com, further strengthening our consumer offering. At the same time we are creating opportunities for other group companies to capitalize on CDON.com's leading market position in the Nordics."

"We performed one of our largest internal reorganisations ever in the period, as we moved the entire Nelly.com warehouse operations. This was a necessary measure that made a considerable impression on the Fashion segment's results in the quarter, both through higher than expected moving costs but also through a decreased growth rate in the period. We have now recruited a new management for the Group's Fashion segment which, combined with our new and more efficient warehouse, makes us a well positioned as we again accelerate our marketing efforts. At the same time we will continue to fine-tune our internal processes."

Forward looking statement

CDON Group operates in a sector with a high underlying market growth. The Group is in an intense growth phase and the strategy is to strengthen its market position through a retained high growth momentum. This includes substantial investments in expansion and in improving the infrastructure to ensure long-term growth,

earnings and customer satisfaction. The objective is to deliver a positive operating result, including nonrecurring items, for the full year. (The Group replaces its previous guidance, which was that "the underlying operating margin, adjusted for expansion, will continue to improve over the previous year").

Significant events during and after the second quarter 2012

Launch of Tretti.com's assortment on CDON.com

On 13 July 2012 CDON.com announced the launch of Tretti.com's assortment of white goods, household appliances and outdoor products on CDON.com. The launch strengthens CDON.com position as the leading internet shopping mall in the Nordic region, simultaneously increasing Tretti.com's reach on the market.

Management changes

The AGM appointed Lars-Johan Jarnheimer as Chairman of the Board of directors on 8 May 2012. On 16 July 2012 CDON Group announced the appointment of Magnus Månsson as new CEO of Nelly.com and head of the Group's Fashion segment.

Nelly.com warehouse relocation

To facilitate the Fashion segment's rapid expansion Nelly.com initiated a warehouse relocation from Borås to Falkenberg during the first quarter 2012. The relocation is now completed and the flow of goods within the fashion segment is integrated.

Launch of Heppo.com in the Netherlands

On 20 June 2012 Heppo.com announced the launch of Heppo.nl in the Netherlands. The launch is the company's first outside the Nordic home markets, where Heppo.com was established in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland in August 2010.

Group summary

Group net sales were up 38% year on year in the second quarter and up 51% for the first half of the year. The Group's sites attracted 54.5 (35.6) million visits and generated 1.4 (1.2) million orders during the second quarter, and 113.2 (69.7) million visits and 3.0 (2.5) million orders for the first half of the year.

The Group's gross margin was 11.4% (18.3%) in the quarter and 12.8% (18.7%) for the first half of the year. The decrease in margin is a result of the ongoing shift within the Entertainment segment away from the sale of media products towards growth categories such as consumer electronics. Furthermore, margins were affected by the consolidation of Tretti.com from 3 June 2011, as the company's gross margins are somewhat lower than the Group's average, as well as by the non-recurring cost of SEK -33.9 million, mainly related to Nelly's warehouse relocation during the second quarter and SEK -47.9 million for the first half of the year.

Sales, general and administrative expenses increased by 39% year on year to SEK 150.6 (108.1) million in the quarter and by 50% to SEK 297.9 (198.3) million for the first half of the year, which mainly reflected the higher sales volumes from both existing and new segments.

The Group reported an operating profit of SEK -5.8 (23.8) million in the quarter with an operating margin of -0.6% (3.5%) excluding one-off items and an operating profit of SEK -43.5 (19.1) million including non-recurring items with an operating margin of -4.6% (2.8%). The operating profit for the first half of the year was SEK -3.9 (44.0) million with an operating margin of -0.2% (3.5%) excluding non-recurring items and an operating profit of SEK -55.6 (39.2) million including non-recurring items with an operating margin of -2.9% (3.1%).

The Group´s net interest and other financial items amounted to SEK -5.0 (-4.0) million in the second quarter and SEK -10.4 (-7.4) million for the first half of the year, which primarily reflected the interest costs related to the convertible bond, as well as the Group´s revolving credit facility.

Group pre-tax profits amounted to SEK -48.5 (15.1) million in the second quarter and SEK -66.0 (31.8) million for the first half of the year. The Group reported a positive income tax effect of SEK 11.4 (-4.7) million in the quarter and 15.9 (-8.8) million for the first half of the year, as a result of capitalised loss carry forwards. Group consolidated net income therefore totalled SEK -37.1 (10.4) million in the quarter and SEK -50.1 (23.1) million for the first half of the year.

Operating margin (%) 2.6% 2.7% 3.8% 3.9%

The Entertainment segment comprises the online stores CDON.com, BookPlus.fi and Lekmer.com. The segment's sales were up 27% year on year in the quarter and up 30% year to date. The segment accounted for 49% (53%) of total Group sales in the second quarter and 50% (58%) of total Group sales for the first half of the year.

The consumer electronics category continued to grow at a high rate and constituted a larger share of the segment's sales than previously. The growth in the toys category was strong in the period while the development of media products has been somewhat slower than in the first quarter.

The assortment has continuously been expanded within the consumer electronics and toys categories, and in the second quarter CDON.com launched its own brand in the gaming PC category. After the reporting period CDON.com added Tretti.com's assortment of white goods, household appliances and outdoor products, thereby strengthening the position as the leading online shopping mall in the Nordic region.

The segment's operating profit improved by 20% in the second quarter and by 28% for the first half of the year. The shift from media to consumer electronics has been somewhat faster than expected during the quarter, which puts pressure on gross margin in the period. The fixed costs to sales ratio continued to decline on which the fall in gross margin only had a minor effect on the overall operating margin in the period.

Operating margin (%) -25.5% 4.5% -22.8% 1.3%

The Fashion segment comprises the online stores Nelly.com, Heppo.com and Members.com. The segment sales were up 23% year on year in the quarter and 43% year to date. The segment accounted for 24% (27%) of total Group sales in the quarter and 22% (24%) for the first half of the year.

The growth was a combination of increased market shares for Nelly.com in the Nordic markets, the geographical expansion of Nelly.com outside the Nordic countries and the growth of Members.com and Heppo.com. In the second quarter a local version of Nelly.com was launched in the United Kingdom and Heppo.com was launched in the Netherlands. In the second quarter Nelly.com completed the warehouse relocation which is crucial for its continued expansion. The relocation contributed to the slower growth in the period partly due to a large proportion of the assortment temporarily not being available for sale.

The warehouse relocation was the main reason to the non-recurring items of SEK 37.7 million that was charged to the Fashion segment's operating profit in the quarter. The decreased growth also contributed to a negative impact on earnings in the quarter. The move is now completed and Nelly.com is expected to reach full warehouse efficiency by the end of in the third quarter. The segment accrued costs of SEK 11.4 million in the second quarter related to the geographical expansion of Nelly.com and Heppo.com outside the Nordic region. Overall, the geographical expansion brought costs of SEK 31.9 million, while non-recurring items amounted to SEK 51.7 million during the first half of the year.

Sports & Health

The Sports & Health segment comprises the online stores Gymgrossisten.com (Fitnesstukku.fi in Finland, Bodystore.dk in Denmark and Bodystore.de in Germany) as well as the Swedish site Bodystore.com. The segment's sales were up 29% year on year in the quarter and 31% year to date. The segment accounted for 12% (13%) of total Group sales in the quarter and 13% (15%) for the first half of the year.

The strong sales growth continued in the second quarter and the assessment is now that the company has established itself as market leader also in Norway and Denmark. The launch on the German market has gone according to plan and the product assortment is expanding daily.

The segment's operating profit increased by 14% year on year in the quarter and by 19% during the first half of the year, despite investments in the new markets.

* 2011 figures for the Home & Garden segment comprises Room21 from February 2011 and Tretti from June 2011

The Home & Garden segment comprises the online-stores Tretti.com and Room21.com. The segment sales accounted for 15% of total Group sales for the quarter and 15% for the first half of the year.

The segment continued to invest in all markets and gained market shares in their respective categories. The growth was primarily derived from markets outside Sweden as well as an expanded assortment. After the period Tretti.com launched its range of white goods, household appliances and outdoor products for sale through CDON.com, which further increases its visibility and reach on the Nordic e-commerce market.

The segment's operating margin was affected by the Nordic expansion and broadening of its assortment in both companies, but is also a result of strong pressure on prices in the white goods category.

Financial position

Group total assets grew by 10% year on year to SEK 1,417.9 (1,287.9) million. At the end of the first quarter 2012, the Groups total assets amounted to SEK 1,435.6 million.

Inventory levels increased year on year to SEK 532.6 (382.4) million in the period, compared to SEK 509.6 million at the end of the first quarter 2012. The increase reflected the higher proportion of Group sales generated from the Fashion segment which is more inventory intensive, the expansion of the Group's product categories and assortment, e.g. consumer electronics within the Entertainment segment.

The Group reported a SEK 4.1 (62.3) million change in working capital in the quarter and SEK -197.7 (-101.7) million for the six month period. Capital employed decreased by SEK 35.2 million, to SEK 750.6 million in the quarter. The Group's rolling twelve-month return on capital employed declined year on year to 4.4% (20.6%) in the quarter, which mainly is explained by the lower operating profit compared to last year, the acquisition of Tretti AB in June 2011 as well as higher inventory due to the fact that the more inventory intensive segments are increasing their share of total Group sales.

Group cash flow to investing activities amounted to SEK -14.7 (-318.6) million in the quarter and SEK -26.7 (-326.0) million for the first half of the year, which primarily reflected investments in the Group's web platforms. In June, the Group paid an agreed deferred payment of SEK 3.9 million and an additional payment of SEK 1.1 million for the acquisition of Rum21 AB.

Group cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 0.0 (185.5) million in the quarter and SEK 0.0 (185.5) million for the first half of the year.

The Group's total interest-bearing loans amounted to SEK 368.8 (396.4) million at the end of the period compared to SEK 366.8 million at the end of the first quarter 2012. The decrease is primarily related to a loan amortization in the third quarter 2011.

The Group has taken up an overdraft facility of SEK 100.0 million in the quarter of which SEK 0.0 million was used at the end of the period.

The Group's cash and cash equivalents decreased by SEK -60.3 (-52.0) million to SEK 110.4 (209.3) million at the end of the quarter, compared to SEK 170.7 million at the end of the first quarter 2012. The Group therefore had a net debt position (defined as long term interest-bearing liabilities and short term interest bearing loans less cash and cash equivalents) of SEK 258.4 (187.1) million at the end of the reporting period, compared to SEK 196.1 million at the end of the first quarter 2012.

Parent company

The CDON Group parent company reported sales of SEK 14.5 (11.6) million in the second quarter and SEK 27.9 (19.6) million for the first half of the year. The parent company's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 95.8 (155.4) million at the end of the period.

The parent company invested SEK 0.0 (345.4) million in non-current assets during the quarter and SEK 0.5 (359.6) for the first half of the year.

In June, the parent company paid an agreed deferred payment of SEK 3.9 million and an additional cash consideration of SEK 1.1 million for the acquisition of Rum21 AB.
