Comments by the CEO

Paul Fischbein, President and CEO comments: "The third quarter was characterised by significant operational changes and market related challenges such as negative currency effects and lower consumer demand in Finland and Norway. Sales in Sweden remain strong. We have finalised several key operational initiatives and investments which create the right conditions to reach our long term profitability targets. Our strong balance sheet, including healthy inventory levels and a net cash position, provides an overall stable financial position. In combination with the completed projects, this gives us a stronger platform that can facilitate increased volumes and future profitability.

To accelerate the development of CDON Marketplace, we have strengthened the management team including a new CEO, CFO, Head of Marketplace and a Head of Operations. Additionally, the warehouse consolidation has been completed, in line with cost estimates. All warehouse operations are now carried out in a new and modern central warehouse, enabling coordinated deliveries and an improved customer experience.

Lekmer has, during the quarter, focused on deploying its new highly automated warehouse. The deployment of the warehouse took longer than planned and operational disturbances had a larger impact on sales than expected. As a result, sales and earnings in the third quarter were below our expectations. Warehouse operations have now returned to normal levels and so far in October sales are growing again.

Nelly continues to show strong growth on the Swedish market, amounting to 22 percent in the third quarter. The Nordic focus has led to declining sales outside the Nordics. This was expected but nevertheless had a negative effect on growth in the quarter. An important part of Nelly's strategy is to increase the share of

private label sales. It was therefore important that the share of private label sales continued to grow and amounted to 32% of Nelly's turnover during the quarter. Nelly's underlying earnings improvements were overshadowed by substantial negative currency effects, in comparison to the third quarter last year, mainly attributable to more costly purchases in USD and GBP.

To secure continued strong sales and profitability within Gymgrossisten, we have completed a reorganisation which will result in a sequential cost saving which on an annual basis amounts to approximately SEK 8 million. Tretti continued to show impressive and steady growth, which amounted to 18% in the third quarter.

We are also pleased to see that Qliro Financial Services continues to develop at a high pace, both in Sweden and in Finland. During October, the payment solution was also launched in Denmark and when we receive approval to become a credit market company we expect to launch the payment solution in Norway as well. In addition to the payment solution, Qliro Financial Services is working on launching additional financial services and we are, for example, planning to introduce deposits from the public after approval to become a credit market company has been received. Since the launch, in December 2014, the company has handled over 2.4 million transactions from over 1 million unique customers and business volumes exceeding SEK 1.9 billion. These are impressive volumes generated in a short period of time, showing the future potential of Qliro Financial Services. Clearly, this is very exciting.

To summarise, we now have a stronger platform in place and we look forward to the important fourth quarter."

Forward-looking statement

Qliro Group's long-term goal for sales growth is growth that is consistent with or above that of the market for each segment. Market-related investments are expected to be concentrated to the Nordic region in 2015.

Provided the subsidiaries deliver sales volumes in line with their business plans, the objective is that Qliro Financial Services will gradually improve its earnings in 2015. Furthermore, the objective is for Qliro Financial Services, as previously announced, to generate positive earnings for the full year 2016 and contribute approximately SEK 100 million to consolidated earnings before tax (EBT) for the full year 2018.

Qliro Group's long-term profitability goals:

Segment Sales growth EBITDA-margin
Nelly $5 - 7%$
Lekmer Growth in line with or $3 - 5%$
CDON.com above market for each $2 - 3%$
Gymgrossisten respective segment 7-9%
Tretti $2 - 4%$

No forecast is otherwise being submitted for 2015.

Significant events during and after the third quarter 2015

Magnus Fredin new CEO of CDON Marketplace

Qliro Group announced on 11 August that Magnus Fredin was appointed new CEO of CDON Marketplace.

Paul Fischbein to step down as President and CEO of Qliro Group

The process of finding a new president and CEO has been initiated. Paul Fischbein has a twelve month notice period and will remain president and CEO until a successor has been appointed.

Strengthened management team and completed reorganisation within Gymgrossisten

On 9 October, Qliro Group announced that Gymgrossisten strengthened its management team and completed a reorganisation to further strengthen the company's Nordic position. The reorganisation resulted in a nonrecurring cost of approximately SEK 5 million which was attributed to Gymgrossisten's result for the third quarter 2015.

Earnings summary

The Group's net sales were unchanged in the third quarter year-on-year. Over the first nine months of the year, net sales increased by 5%, excluding the divested operations of the previous year.

The Group's online retailers attracted 60.6 (59.6) million visitors in the third quarter, generating 1.78 (1.85) million orders.

The Group's gross margin, excluding non-recurring items and divested operations, amounted to 13.4% (13.5%) in the third quarter. Compared with the same period in 2014, currency fluctuations had a negative impact on the gross margin in the amount of over SEK 20 million. Similarly to the past quarters, mainly Gymgrossisten and Nelly were impacted by the stronger USD in comparison with the third quarter of 2014. The weakening of the NOK has also had a negative impact on net sales. See each segment for more information about currency effects.

The Group's operating profit (EBIT), excluding non-recurring items and divested operations, totalled SEK

-28.2 (1.5) million for the third quarter. In addition to currency effects, mainly operational disruptions in Lekmer's new warehouse adversely impacted the group's operating profit. The operating profit for the third quarter, excluding Qliro Financial Services, amounted to SEK -21.0 (1.8) million See page 5 for information about non-recurring items and divested operations.

Consolidated net financial items amounted to SEK -0.3 (-8.1) million for the third quarter, and are attributed mainly to costs for credit facilities and interest expenses, which were offset by interest income and positive currency effects.

Group profit before tax totalled SEK -41.4 (-6.6) million for the quarter. The Group reported tax revenue of SEK 9.4 (1.9) million for the quarter, as a result of capitalised loss carryforwards.

Net income totalled SEK -32.0 (-4.7) million and earnings per share before and after dilution totalled SEK -0.21 (-0.04) for the quarter.

Cash flow and financial position

Consolidated cash flow effects from changes in working capital, excluding Qliro Financial Services' increased loans to the public in the amount of SEK -61.2 (-10.2) million, improved, totalling SEK -38.0 (-91.8) million. In the third quarter, the seasonal increase in inventory levels in advance of the important fourth quarter in terms of sales was initiated. Consolidated cash flow from operations totalled SEK -72.1 (-87.4) million for the quarter. Including Qliro financial Services' increased loans to the public, cash flow from operations amounted to SEK -133.2 (-97.7) million.

Consolidated cash flow from investing activities totalled SEK -28.4 (-24.2) million for the quarter and is primarily attributable to product development investments for Qliro Financial Services and investments in web platforms and warehouse systems of the other companies.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 140.2 (-6,5) million during the quarter, which was fully related to Qliro Financial Services' use of credit facilities to finance its expanding loans to the public. Qliro Financial Services' loans to the public totalled SEK 337.6 (11.4) million at the end of the quarter and its use of credit facilities amounted to SEK 174.7 (-6.5) million.

Group cash and cash equivalents totalled SEK 249.1 (102.4) million at the end of the quarter. The Group's net cash position amounts to SEK 74.4 (net debt 136.2) million and comprises cash and cash equivalents and utilised credit facilities within Qliro Financial Services of SEK -174.7 (convertible bond of SEK -238.5) million.

Total consolidated assets on the reporting date grew by 31% year-on-year to SEK 2,290.9 (1,748.9) million. Capital employed amounted to SEK 1, 166.1 (835.0) million at the end of the quarter.

Consolidated equity at the end of the quarter totalled SEK 1, 240.5 (698.9) million in comparison to SEK 1,272.5 million at the end of the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in the third quarter is chiefly attributable to the earnings for the period.

*** Past twelve months

CDON Marketplace is a leading marketplace in the Nordics with a product range that covers everything from home electronics to sports & leisure, clothing & shoes and toys. Sales generated for external merchants rose during the quarter by 69% to SEK 48 (28) million and by 75% to SEK 135 (77) million during the first nine months. Gross merchandise value, i.e. net sales including sales generated for external merchants, dropped by 3% in the third quarter. Net sales and earnings were negatively impacted by currency effects which were mainly attributable to the weakened Norwegian krone.

At the close of the third quarter, almost 700 external merchants were affiliated with CDON Marketplace. Sales of media-related products continued to decrease and amounted to 39% (42%) of total net sales during the quarter, and 38% (41%) for the first nine months of the year.

In the third quarter, CDON Marketplace completed the last phase of the warehouse consolidation project that had been underway for a year. The new central warehouse in Ljungby will improve the customer experience, for instance as a result of coordinated customer deliveries. The total cost attributable to the warehouse consolidation over the past twelve months amounted to close to SEK 20 million, of which SEK 6.8 million in the third quarter. All costs are recognised as non-recurring costs.

On 17 August, CDON Marketplace changed CEOs when Magnus Fredin replaced Patrik Settlin. Further the management team has been strengthened with a new CFO, Head of Marketplace and Head of Operations. Costs related to CDON's reorganisation are recognised as a non-recurring costs of approximately SEK 1.6 million attributed to CDON's result for the third quarter.

Nelly comprises the online stores Nelly.com, NLYman.com and Members.com. Nelly's sales were up by 1% in the third quarter and by 11% for the first nine months of the year. Sales excluding currency effects grew by 2% in the third quarter and by 10% for the first nine months. The weakened NOK represents the negative currency effect on sales in the third quarter.

The share of Nelly's sales generated in Sweden over the first nine months totalled 49% (42%) as growth in the Swedish market remained strong, amounting to 22% in the quarter. However, Nelly's total growth was negatively affected by lower sales in other countries, particularly in markets outside of the Nordics but also in Norway and Finland.

To improve Nelly's operational efficiency, a new warehouse management system was deployed during the quarter. In comparison to the corresponding quarter of the previous year, operating profit in the third quarter was impacted negatively by exchange rate effects in the amount of over SEK 10 million. Similarly to the previous quarter this year, the impact is mainly attributable to the strengthening of the USD and GBP, in the form of higher purchasing costs.

Gymgrossisten comprises the online stores Gymgrossisten, Bodystore and Milebreaker. The segment's sales decreased by 3% in the third quarter and increased by 3% for the first nine months of the year. Sales excluding currency effects decreased by 3% in the third quarter and increased by 2% for the first nine months of the year.

Sales in Sweden increased during the quarter while the other Nordic countries showed weaker development. Gymgrossisten's Nordic focus with diminishing market activities outside of the Nordics has resulted in negative sales growth in these markets. Even though Gymgrossisten's total sales decreased, the number of visits has increased, primarily driven by mobile traffic.

The operating profit excluding non-recurring items (see also page 5) has continued to be put under pressure in comparison with 2014 by negative currency effects, totalling approximately SEK 5 million in the third quarter. These effects are mainly attributable to purchases in USD.

Gymgrossisten completed a reorganisation in October 2015 aiming to strengthen the company's position in key segments of the Nordic market and secure a platform for continued strong sales and earnings. The reorganisation entails that the company has been divided into three business areas – Gymgrossisten.com, Bodystore.com and Retail – and staff reduction. The staff reduction affected 17 positions and will result in a sequential cost saving which on an annual basis is expected to amount to approximately SEK 8 million. The staff reduction is recognised as a non-recurring cost of SEK 5 million attributed to Gymgrossisten's result for the third quarter.

Tretti's sales increased by 18% in the third quarter and by 16% for the first nine months of the year. Sales excluding currency effects grew by 19% in the third quarter and by 17% for the first nine months.

In the third quarter, Tretti reported continued growth in all product categories. Earnings for the third quarter are slightly lower than in the corresponding period of 2014, which is due to a lower product margin. Tretti continuously strives to improve the product margin through continuing close supplier relationships and other measures.

Lekmer*

* Excluding non-recurring items, which are detailed on page 5

* Past twelve months

Lekmer reported a 9% decrease in sales in the third quarter and a 16% sales increase for the first nine months of the year. Sales excluding currency effects decreased by 9% in the third quarter and increased by 16% for the first nine months of the year.

The deployment of Lekmer's new automated warehouse has resulted in larger operational disturbances than expected in the third quarter. This impacted both incoming and outgoing deliveries at the warehouse and consequently also Lekmer's capacity to conduct sales promotion activities. As a result, the company reported lower sales and lower earnings than expected in the third quarter. Forceful measures have been taken and in the beginning of October, the warehouse operations have been in line with our expectations and Lekmer now provides customers with competitive service levels. The warehouse relocation is expected to result in significant efficiency improvements and lower handling costs for Lekmer.

Operating profit for the third quarter was impacted negatively by the decreased sales volume and operational disruptions at the warehouse and amounted to SEK -12.9 (-1.5) million.

Lekmer's physical store in Barkarby outside of Stockholm continues to perform well. In October 2015, a new outlet store will open in Infracity, Upplands Väsby outside of Stockholm.

Review report

Qliro Group AB (publ) Corporate ID number 556035-6940

Introduction

We have performed a review engagement of the summarised interim financial information (interim report) for CDON Group AB (publ) as at 30 September 2015 and the nine-month period ended on that date. The board of directors and CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. It is our responsibility to state an opinion on this interim report on the basis of our review engagement.

Focus and extent of review engagement

We have performed our review engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review engagement involves making enquiries, mainly to people responsible for financial and accounting issues, performing an analytical review and taking other review engagement measures. A review engagement has a different focus and a significantly lesser extent in comparison to the focus and extent of an audit in accordance with the ISA and generally accepted auditing standards. The review measures taken within the scope of a review engagement do not enable us to obtain assurance that we are aware of all material circumstances that may have been identified if an audit had been performed. The opinion stated on the basis of a review engagement consequently is not as certain as the opinion stated on the basis of an audit.

Opinion

On the basis of our review engagement, we have not found any circumstances that give us reason to believe that the interim report has not been prepared in all material respects in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act in the case of the Group and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act in the case of the parent company.
