CEO statement
Paul Fischbein, CEO comments: "The second quarter was eventful and characterised by positive news. We see that the actions taken to increase profitability are showing results, not least within Nelly and Gymgrossisten. Nelly's focus on efficiency and profitability has resulted in a significant earnings improvement and EBITDA improved by more than SEK 10 million compared to the second quarter last year. Gymgrossisten also reported improved margins and the EBITDA-margin in the second quarter increased to around 7%. Both Nelly and Gymgrossisten now have stable foundations in place which we can continue to develop.
Another pleasing fact is that Lekmer, excluding currency effects, reported growth in the second quarter. The quality of the warehouse operations in Arlandastad is good and the customers have confidence in Lekmer. We have after the end of the quarter also reached a new agreement with the third-party supplier of warehousing services which is expected to lead to gradually decreased fulfilment costs for Lekmer.
Within CDON Marketplace, sales generated for external merchants grew by around 35% in the second quarter. As a step in the transformation of the company, the partnership with Adlibris was also launched in the end of the quarter. CDON Marketplace thus continues to develop well.
The single biggest news in the quarter was that we sold Tretti for a total cash consideration of SEK 250 million. The transaction, which is expected to be completed during the third quarter, is important from several perspectives. We free up capital for continued investments and increased focus on the development of the other companies within Qliro Group and at the same time WhiteAway – including Tretti – becomes a client and partner to both Qliro Financial Services and CDON Marketplace.
Qliro Financial Services continues to develop in line with our expectations. Total operating income increased by 111% in the quarter and the company improved its result. Thus, we see continued positive development and
progress within Qliro Financial Services, and look forward to the launch in Norway and the introduction of additional financial services when the company receives approval from Finansinspektionen (the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority) to become a credit market company. Our estimate is that the license will be received in the second half of 2016. Additionally, we have entered into partnership agreements with new external merchants and recently introduced a new exciting product in the market – Qliro One, a complete checkout solution for digital commerce.
This is my last interim report as CEO of Qliro Group, and I can conclude that the actions we have taken are paying off. The companies' earnings improvements, and the addition of the funds from the sale of Tretti, entail that we have a strong financial foundation and position in place for the future. I would like to thank all customers, shareholders, colleagues and partners for the trust you have shown and on 1 August I hand over the role as CEO to Marcus Lindqvist".
Forward-looking statement
Qliro Group's long-term sales goal is growth that is consistent with or above that of the market for each segment.
Qliro Group's long-term profitability targets:
| Segment | EBITDA-margin |
|---|---|
| CDON Marketplace | 2-3% |
| Nelly | 5-7% |
| Gymgrossisten | 7-9% |
| Lekmer | 3-5% |
Provided that the subsidiaries deliver sales volumes in line with their business plans, the objective for Qliro Financial Services is, 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. During 2016, we expect the same seasonality pattern as 2015 which means that the result within Qliro Financial Services is expected to gradually improve during 2016, after the negative result in the first and second quarter.
Lekmer's sales growth slowed as a result of the operational challenges at the warehouse in 2015. Growth began increasing again during the second quarter 2016. During the second half of the year, Lekmer's sales growth is expected to increase on a quarterly basis. Lekmer is expected to require an additional quarter in 2016 to stabilise the warehouse operations in terms of efficiency and costs. EBITDA in the third quarter 2016 is expected to improve compared to the second quarter and EBITDA in the fourth quarter is expected to be positive. This forward-looking statement replaces the previous forward-looking statement regarding Lekmer*.
No forecast is otherwise being submitted for 2016.
*Forward-looking statement related to Lekmer from previous interim report: Lekmer's sales growth has slowed as a result of the operational challenges at the warehouse. Growth is expected to gradually start increasing again during the second quarter 2016. Lekmer is expected to require at least another quarter in 2016 to stabilise the warehouse operations in terms of efficiency and costs. Thereafter, Lekmer's quarterly earnings are expected to be in line with 2014.
Significant events during and after the second quarter 2016

Also WhiteAway will become a partner of Qliro Financial Services regarding payment solution services for its online store in Sweden and join CDON Marketplace as a new merchant.
The transaction is subject to approval from the Swedish Competition Authority and is expected to be completed during the third quarter 2016. The earnings impact from the disposal of Tretti, including Tretti's operating earnings, amounted to SEK -108.8 million for the second quarter and SEK -110.0 million for the first six months.

Excluding changes in Qliro Financial Services' loans to the public, cash flow from changes in working capital improved somewhat, and amounted to SEK 71.5 (66.6) million. Working capital changes during the quarter consisted mainly of reduced inventory levels, which were partly offset by higher accounts receivable and lower accounts payable. Cash flow from operations improved and amounted to SEK 67.2 (55.5) million for the quarter.
Qliro Financial Services' loans to the public increased during the quarter, which resulted in a cash flow effect of SEK -92.2 (-93.7) million. Loans to the public amounted to SEK 568.5 (276.5) million at the end of the quarter. Including Qliro Financial Services' loans to the public, cash flow from operations amounted to SEK -25.0 (-38.2) million. Cash flow from operations for the first six months improved to SEK -229.2 (-264.8) million.
Consolidated cash flow to investing activities totalled SEK -21.3 (-28.8) million for the quarter, of which the majority is attributable to the continued product development within Qliro Financial Services.
Cash flow from financing activities, consisting of Qliro Financial Services' utilisation of credit facilities, amounted to SEK 75.9 (34.5) million during the quarter.
Cash flow from Discontinued operations (Tretti) for the quarter amounted to SEK -21.1 (17.1) million. The positive cash flow effect from the sale of Tretti is expected in the third quarter.

Total consolidated assets at the end of the reporting period, including discontinued operations, amounted to SEK 2,237.4 (2,087.4) million. The increase is primarily attributable to Qliro Financial Services' increase in loans to the public.
Consolidated equity amounted to SEK 1,049.1 (1,272.5) million at the end of the quarter, compared with SEK 1,205.4 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease is chiefly attributable to the earnings impact from the disposal of Tretti.

The partnership with Adlibris.com was launched in the latter part of the second quarter and entails that Adlibris' assortment of books will be made available on CDON Marketplace and that CDON will phase out its own book sales, which amounted to SEK 200-250 million on an annual basis. In addition to this, CDON Marketplace entered into partnership agreements with several new external merchants, including WhiteAway, during the second quarter.
Sales of media-related products amounted to 30% (30%) of total net sales during the quarter and to 30% (30%) in the first six months. The gross margin decreased in the second quarter primarily due to campaign-driven sales in books and clothing & shoes. The successful initiative Green Friday contributed to a reduction in inventory levels in the second quarter. Clearance sales of books in preparation for the launch of Adlibris also contributed to the reduction.

Lekmer includes the online store Lekmer.com and Lekmer's physical store in Barkarby outside of Stockholm. Lekmer's sales in the second quarter were in line with last year and the company reported a 3% decrease in sales during the first six months. Excluding currency effects, sales increased by 1% in the second quarter and decreased by 1% in the first six months.
The average shopping basket increased during the second quarter, which compensated for a lower number of orders compared to the same period last year. Lekmer's sales showed improvement compared with the first quarter and sales in the second quarter were in line with the same period last year.
Campaign-driven sales affected the gross margin negatively in the second quarter but decreased the inventory balance to more normal levels from a high level at the beginning of the quarter.
The lower operating earnings in the second quarter compared with the previous year is mainly attributable to the lower gross margin and higher fulfilment costs, which increased by around SEK 6 million. The quality of the deliveries from Lekmer's new warehouse in Arlandastad is now good and customer ratings are high. During the beginning of the third quarter, the company entered into a new agreement with the third-party supplier of warehousing services. This is expected to lead to gradual decreases in fulfilment costs and, in comparison with the second quarter, gradually improved earnings.

Qliro Financial Services comprises the payment and consumer financing solution Qliro. Qliro is a service that enables safe online shopping for customers and makes it possible for them to pay for their purchases by invoice or by instalment.
Qliro Financial Services developed according to plan and the business volume in the second quarter increased by 26% compared with the same period last year. Total operating income increased by 111% during the second quarter and by 133% in the first six months. Loans to the public amounted to SEK 568.5 (276.5) million at the end of the second quarter. The lending was financed in the amount of SEK 408.6 (34.5) million via a contracted credit facility and the remainder via own funding.
During the quarter, Qliro was launched on Lyko, one of Sweden's leading companies within hair care and beauty, and a partnership agreement was signed with WhiteAway AB for Qliro to become a supplier of invoice and instalment services in the Swedish market. A new service – Qliro One – which is a complete checkout solution for digital commerce which will give merchants increased conversion rates and an improved customer experience, was presented during the quarter. Qliro One is expected to be launched soon. Preparations also continued for the launch of Qliro in Norway pending the expected approval from Finansinspektionen (the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority) to become a credit market company.
The segment had around 120 full-time employees at the end of the quarter. During the quarter, Lennart Francke was elected as a new director of Qliro AB's board. The Board of Directors of Qliro AB thus consists of Peter Sjunnesson, Paul Fischbein, Lennart Francke, Helena Nelson and Patrik Illerstig.

Other information
CDON Alandia AB
Finnish customs authorities are investigating a subsidiary of CDON AB, Åland-based CDON Alandia, on suspicion of tax fraud. Like other companies in the industry, CDON.com has chosen to serve its Finnish customers from Åland. The company has been in operation since 2007 and has been fully transparent for the relevant authorities, who have routinely reviewed it, most recently as part of a customs audit in 2010 and a tax audit in 2012. CDON AB is fully assisting in the investigation and is still of the opinion that the company acts in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.
In late 2015, the Finnish Tax Administration ordered a supplementary tax on CDON AB's Finnish subsidiary CDON Alandia AB for the 2012 financial year in the amount of about EUR 3.8 million and imposed tax surcharges of about EUR 1.9 million on the company. CDON Alandia asserts that the company acted correctly and is in compliance with applicable legislation, and in the first quarter of 2016 it appealed the decision to the administrative court in Helsinki, Finland.
Results for the third quarter 2016
Qliro Group's results for the third quarter and first nine months ending 30 September 2016 will be published on 20 October 2016.
