CEO statement
Paul Fischbein, President & CEO comments: "Qliro Group's sales are continuing to display strong momentum. All segments showed growth in the fourth quarter and total sales in 2014 reached SEK 5 billion for the first time, while underlying operating income for the full year before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) amounted to SEK 49 million. The Group's cash flow from operations, excluding Qliro Financial Services's loan book, was positive and amounted to SEK 75 million for the full year.
We have entered into an extremely exciting phase in the company's history. In the fourth quarter we changed the name of the Group to Qliro Group, and this change marks the fact that we now rapidly form a new future for the business. The launch of our payment solution Qliro is a good example of a key initiative and it was introduced to the market in December, with considerable success. We are therefore looking forward to the continued roll-out of the payment solution, which is progressing at a high pace.
All our companies are showing strong growth and we are continuing to invest in our businesses. In addition to the continued investment in the Qliro payment solution, we will be relocating Lekmer's warehouse operations to a new facility, generating capacity for persistent high growth and improved efficiency. The consolidation of CDON's warehouse operations will continue in 2015 and we are also working on improving Nelly's and Tretti's logistics operations through continued investments in systems and equipment.
Nelly showed growth of 14% in the fourth quarter in a market that was sluggish as a result of the warm weather, and the rapid strengthening of the US dollar which had a negative impact of around SEK 4 million on
the fourth quarter earnings. However, underlying profit, excluding currency effects, on our home market, Sweden, remained stable. Sales for Gymgrossisten rose by 14%, displaying an EBIT margin of 7%.
The number of retailers affiliated to CDON Marketplace rose to 402, which boosts the future growth potential for CDON Marketplace. CDON increased sales by 9% in the quarter, and, despite major investments, succeeded in making a positive underlying profit of almost SEK 6 million. The total business volume for CDON including Marketplace rose by 12% in the fourth quarter.
The fourth quarter saw the completion of Qliro Group's rights issue, raising SEK 647 million for the company before transaction costs, which both strengthens us financially and creates new opportunities for the company. I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the shareholders for your confidence in Qliro Group and our plans for the future."
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. Qliro Group's long-term profitability goal is detailed in the table below. During 2015 market related investments is expected to, compared with 2014, at a higher degree be concentrated to the Nordics. No forecast is being submitted for 2015.
CDON.com's previously communicated consolidation of warehouse operations to Ljungby, Sweden, was initiated in the fourth quarter 2014 and has so far had a negative impact on earnings totalling SEK 11.6 million. This cost is expected to amount to a total of SEK 15-20 million, rather than the previously anticipated cost of SEK 10-15 million. The remaining SEK 3.4-8.4 million will be reported separately throughout 2015.
The cost of relocating Lekmer's warehouse operations from Falkenberg to Arlandastad just north of Stockholm city is expected to amount to SEK 15-20 million and will affect earnings for the first quarter 2015. The cost of moving is expected to, on an annual basis, be offset by the savings generated by the move.
Provided that the Group companies deliver sales volumes in accordance with their business plans, the objective is for Qliro Financial Services 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.
| 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% |
Qliro Groups long-term profitability goals:
Significant events during and after the fourth quarter 2014
Lekmer moves to new warehouse
In January, Lekmer announced that the company will relocate its warehouse operations from Falkenberg to Schenker at Arlandastad. The move gives Lekmer access to a larger warehouse area and an automated goods flow, while freeing up capacity for Nelly's continued expansion in Falkenberg. The warehouse relocation is expected to bring about significant improvements in efficiency and reduced handling costs for Lekmer. The cost of the move is expected to amount to SEK 15-20 million and will impact Lekmer's earnings for Q1 2015. As a consequence, the Group's subsidiary CDON Group Logistics intends to reorganise operations, with an initial reduction in personnel of 55 positions. The changes will be carried out in the spring and non-recurring costs
attributable to the reduction in personnel are included in the above-mentioned moving cost. The cost of moving is expected to be offset by the savings generated on an annual basis by the move.
CDON Group becomes Qliro Group
Qliro Group AB (publ.), previously CDON Group AB (publ.), announced on 7 January 2015 that the Swedish Companies Registration Office has registered the new articles of association that were adopted at the Extraordinary General Meeting in Stockholm on 21 November, 2014. From now on the company's name will be Qliro Group AB (publ.). The name of the company's shares, which are traded on the NASDAQ Stockholm's MidCap list, will therefore change to Qliro Group, with the ticker symbol "QLRO".
CDON Group's rights issue fully subscribed and completed
On 30 December, 2014, CDON Group AB announced the final outcome of the rights issue in CDON Group AB. The issue was fully subscribed and raised approximately SEK 647 million before transaction costs. The total number of shares and votes in CDON Group subsequently amounts to 150,444,779, of which 149,269,779 are ordinary shares and 1,175,000 are Class C shares. All 1,175,000 C shares are held by the CDON Group. The increase in the number of shares totals 49,756,593 ordinary shares.
Qliro payment service launched in Sweden

Group cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -30.4 (-15.1) million in the fourth quarter and is mainly attributable to continued investments in Qliro Financial Services, along with the development of web platforms and logistics operations.

CDON.com is a leading Nordic online retailer with a strong market position. From initially only selling media products, the product offering has gradually been broadened and today includes a wide range, featuring everything from consumer electronics to sports & leisure, clothing & shoes and toys. Sales in CDON.com rose by 9% in Q4 and by 3% for the full year. Sales excluding currency effects rose by 8% in Q4 and by 2% for the full year.
During the quarter, CDON Marketplace experienced healthy growth and over 400 external retailers have joined CDON Marketplace. During the year, CDON Marketplace increased sales by around 48% to approximately SEK 145 (98) million and the number of orders increased by 57%.
Sales of media-related products saw a decline during the quarter to 38% (41%) of total sales, and to 35% (40%) for the full year. This resulted in a reduced number of active customers, visits and orders. However, during the fourth quarter the number of visits increased, mainly due to increased traffic attributable to CDON Marketplace.
An increase in the average order value had a positive impact on operating profit and despite major investments in ongoing restructuring, CDON.com achieved a positive underlying operating profit of almost SEK 6 million.
CDON.com's previously communicated consolidation of warehouse operations to Ljungby, Sweden, was initiated in the fourth quarter. The move is conducted in stages over a period of 12 months and the new warehouse is expected to be fully operational during the second half of 2015. The total costs attributable to the move are expected to amount to SEK 15-20 million, rather than the previously anticipated cost of SEK 10-15 million. Costs in the fourth quarter attributable to the warehouse consolidation totalled SEK 11.6 million and are reported as a non-recurring item.

Nelly comprises the online stores Nelly.com, NLYman.com and Members.com. Nelly's sales were up by 14% in Q4 and by 18% for the full year. Sales excluding currency effects rose by 13% in the quarter and by 17% in the full year.
Nelly.com achieved growth in all markets in Q4, but sales growth and profitability were affected negatively by the warm weather in the Nordic countries during the quarter. Growth in the domestic Swedish market was healthy, amounting to 20%, while the operating margin reached approximately 4%. The Netherlands continued to be the largest market outside the Nordics. The fourth quarter saw the launch of a new logo and a new responsive website, providing an enhanced customer experience for tablets and smartphones. The change generates excellent opportunities for continued growth within these two key sales channels.
Currency fluctuations had a negative impact on operating profit of around SEK 4 million in the fourth quarter. The impact is primarily attributable to the appreciation of the US dollar. Apart from this effect, the underlying operating profit improved compared to the previous year as a result of increased sales volumes and initiatives to raise efficiency in the value chain and within logistics.

Gymgrossisten comprises the online stores Gymgrossisten.se in Sweden, Gymgrossisten.no in Norway, Fitnesstukku.fi in Finland, Bodystore.dk in Denmark and Gymsector.com in Germany, Austria and the rest of the EU, Bodystore.com and Milebreaker.com. Gymgrossisten's sales grew by 14% in Q4 and by 23% for the full year. Sales excluding currency effects rose by 13% in the quarter and by 21% for the full year.
Gymgrossisten continued to display healthy sales growth, although growth did slow compared with previous quarters. The number of customers, orders and visits displayed a solid increase during the quarter, but the average order value was lower compared to the same quarter last year. The expansion of the range of private label products persisted via several product launches under the Star Nutrition brand and Chained Nutrition.
Increased sales had a positive impact on operating profit, however profit was negatively affected by higher marketing costs resulting from increased competition and continued investments in IT and product development.

Tretti's sales increased by 8% in Q4 and by 18% for the full year. Sales excluding currency effects rose by 8% in the quarter and by 18% in the full year.
In the fourth quarter, Tretti showed growth within all product categories despite the product category Home and Garden being affected by the lack of snow and cold weather, which resulted in lower sales of winter products such as snow blowers. Tretti celebrated its tenth anniversary as a company in Q4 2014.
Increased costs attributable to investments in personnel had a negative impact on operating profit for the fourth quarter. Since the end of the quarter, work has begun on coordinating Tretti's operations at the company's offices in Stockholm. The move is expected to be completed during the first half of 2015.

Lekmer
* Last twelve months
Lekmer displayed continued strong growth and sales were up 44% in Q4 and 53% for the full year. Sales excluding currency effects rose by 42% in the quarter and by 52% in the full year.
During the quarter the company continued to invest in growth and increasing market share. Lekmer's brick and mortar store, which opened at Barkaby outlet centre outside Stockholm in April 2014, continued to perform well.
Lekmer's operating profit saw an improvement in Q4 year-on-year, mainly driven by increased sales.
In January, Lekmer announced that the company will relocate its warehouse operations from Falkenberg to Arlandastad. The move gives Lekmer access to a larger warehouse area and an automated goods flow. The warehouse relocation is expected to bring about significant improvements in efficiency and reduced fulfillment costs for Lekmer. The cost of the move is expected to amount to SEK 15-20 million and will impact Lekmer's earnings for Q1 2015. The cost of moving is expected to be offset by the savings generated on an annual basis by the move.
