LISTING OF THE SUBSDIARY QLIRO PLANNED IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2020
The subsidiary Qliro has increased profits and connected more merchants to its payment solution. CDON is in its final phase of completing its transition to a marketplace and has proven the attractiveness of this business model. Nelly showed continued growth but lower margins in a challenging market.
Qliro preparing for listing at Nasdaq Stockholm
The subsidiary Qliro (formerly called Qliro Financial Services) increased its loan book by 49 percent in the quarter to just under SEK 1.9 billion, whereof personal loans amounted to SEK 653 million at the end of the quarter. Total operating income rose by 12 percent to SEK 86 million, and operating income before depreciation, amortization and impairment rose 85 percent to SEK 19 million.
Qliro Group has initiated the process to list the subsidiary Qliro on Nasdaq Stockholm's main market in the first half of 2020. The company has grown rapidly over the last few years. The Board of Directors of Qliro Group believes that a stock exchange listing gives Qliro the best platform to take advantage of future opportunities for growth and value creation as well as access to the capital markets.
CDON's transformation soon completed
CDON (formerly called CDON Marketplace) has now reached the final stage of its transition into a marketplace for external merchants, complemented with sales from own inventory. External merchant sales increased by as much as 66 percent and the total gross merchandise value of the marketplace grew again during the quarter. Commission income increased by 39 percent, which helped boost the gross margin by as much as 5.1 percentage points to 19.9 percent. Employee costs decreased significantly as the company makes efficiency improvements following investments in technology and automation.
The transition to the marketplace model, has had a negative effect on net sales but a positive effect on profitability and capital tied up in the company. Due to a successful transition, CDON has reached an operating profit before depreciation of SEK 2.3 (-5.9) million in the quarter and SEK 11 (-29) million over the last 12 months. This shows that CDON's marketplace model is scalable and profitable.
Nelly grows in a weak market
Nelly increased its sales by 7 percent in a generally weak market that was characterized by much campaign activity. Consequently, Nelly increased its marketing spend by SEK 5 million. Some major campaigns were launched, which are also being planned for the rest of the year. Earnings were also negatively impacted by a non-recurring effect of SEK 5 million (costs for departing CFO and a settlement with PostNord). Gross profit amounted to SEK 76 million and operating profit before depreciation, amortization and impairment decreased to SEK 5 (24) million.
Nelly intends to move its warehouse from Falkenberg to Borås in 2021. This is in line with the ambition to improve logistics and thereby deliver a better customer experience, higher efficiency and scalability.
Focus on e-commerce
After the Qliro listing, the group will focus on e-commerce through Nelly and CDON. In both companies, valuecreating activities are underway that will improve conditions for growth and profitability. When Qliro is listed, Qliro Group intends to change its name to better reflect its future business.
Qliro Group has gone from actively developing many businesses to owning three independent companies. The need for central functions has thereby decreased and central costs will decrease over time. We continue to work on developing our companies, which are driving forces in Nordic e-commerce and related financial services.

Financial services to merchants and consumers
Qliro Groups subsidiary Qliro offers digital financial services to merchants and consumers. It is a credit market company under the supervision of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority. Previously, the business was called Qliro Financial Services in Qliro Group's communications.
The strategy is to offer payment solutions to merchants while utilizing transaction volumes and customer relationships to offer digital financial services to consumers. The payment solution ensures that e-merchants can offer consumers a better shopping experience, secure payments and financial services. The volume of ecommerce helps lower customer acquisition costs for the company's consumer services. This is expected to provide a long-term competitive advantage and contribute to profitability and good return on equity.
Qliro operates in the Nordic region, which is an attractive credit market through the availability of individual financial information and established credit recovery processes.
Fast growth in the loan book
Total operating income increased by 12 percent to SEK 86 million and the loan book by 49 percent to SEK 1.9 billion, with fast growth in personal loans. SEK 1,199 million of the loan book comprised invoices, partial payments and instalments, and SEK 653 million comprised personal loans.
Growth within personal loans is driven by digital marketing to existing customers. Over 95 percent of the borrowers had an existing relationship with Qliro, and many applied through Qliro's app. This results in low customer acquisition costs and a chance to restrict credit approvals by identifying people with good creditworthiness. Credit assessments are automated and based on a combination of internal and external data that are analyzed in real time.
Fast increase in operating profit before depreciation and amortization
Qliro now has the scale to cost-effectively manage significant growth in the loan book. Depreciation increased to SEK 18 million as more parts of the technology platform were launched. Expected net credit losses
decreased due to improved credit quality in sales financing, as well as non-recurring effects associated with sales of portfolios with overdue loans.
Total operating expenses excluding depreciation increased by 8 percent, driven primarily by commercial initiatives, IT development and recruitments. As the company benefits from existing relationships with consumers for upselling, marketing costs are very limited.
Operating profit before depreciation, amortization and impairment improved by 85 percent to SEK 19 (10) million.
New merchants and growing business volume
Business volume increased by 12 percent to SEK 1.3 billion. Since year-end, Qliro has signed contracts with several new merchants that are being connected to the platform. As the new merchants are connected, business volume will increase, driving growth in the loan book and, in turn, generating interest income and thus profitability. Merchants that are not part of the Qliro Group accounted for over half of e-commerce volume. This proportion is expected to increase.
Capital adequacy and funding
Qliro's capital base was SEK 372 million, its total risk exposure was SEK 1,933 million and its Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 16.9 percent of the risk exposure as of September 30, 2019. Besides equity, lending to the public was financed in the amount of SEK 255 (295) million via a secured credit facility, SEK 1,523 (845) million via deposits from the public (savings accounts) in Sweden and SEK 100 (0) million via a new bond loan. Of the deposits from the public, 99.6 percent were protected by the deposit guarantee in Sweden. Deposits from the public had an average remaining contractual term of approximately 140 days as of September 30, 2019. Funding through the loan facility is made in multiple currencies to match lending.

CDON - the leading Nordic marketplace
Consumers turn to CDON.COM to purchase different products through one website as well as to take advantage of low prices, easy payments and efficient delivery. Merchants join CDON to take advantage of its market position, traffic and tools to drive sales. This is supplemented by sales from its own inventory in selected categories. The company used to be called CDON Marketplace in Qliro Group's communications.
Rapid growth in external merchant sales
CDON has soon completed its transition to a marketplace for external merchants. External merchant sales increased by 66 percent and the marketplace's gross merchandise value increased by 1 percent for the quarter. Commission income increased by 39 percent, which helped boost the gross margin by as much as 5.1 percentage points to 19.9 percent.
Operating profit before depreciation and amortization for the quarter and the past year
For several years, CDON has invested in its technology platform and process automation. The company makes efficiency improvements from these investments and has reduced its staff, leading to a reduction in employee costs of 27 percent for the quarter and 22 percent for the past nine months.
Due to the successful transformation, CDON has reached an operating profit before depreciation of SEK 2.3 (-5.9) million for the quarter and SEK 11 (-29) million for the past 12 months for CDON. This shows that CDON's business model is scalable and profitable.
The transition to a marketplace and so called dropshipment (delivery direct to the customer from the supplier) creates the conditions for future growth with lower inventory levels, which over time is expected to provide stronger cash flows and further decrease working capital needs. In line with this strategy, inventory levels were 46 percent lower at the end of the third quarter of 2019 than for the same period in 2018.
Growth in gross merchandise value
The phaseout of sales from own inventory is mainly being done in consumer electronics where margins are lower. Consumer electronics are instead offered by external merchants providing a wide assortment. Consequently, net sales (consisting of own sales and commission income from external merchant sales) decreased by 26 percent to SEK 212 million for the quarter. This was part of the transition to the marketplace model, which as planned has had a negative effect on net sales but a positive effect on profitability and capital tied up in the company.
The marketplace is expanding through the growth of existing and new merchants, both large and small. Together, the external merchants' sales and dropshipment accounted for 62 percent of the total gross merchandise value.

One of the Nordics' strongest fashion brands online
Nelly offers fashion for young women through Nelly.com and for men through NLY MAN. Nelly is one of the most well-known fashion brands online among women aged 18 to 29 in the Nordics. At its core are its own brands, complemented by a well-curated portfolio of approximately 200 external brands. Nelly has attracted a very enthusiastic target group through its own brands and digital marketing.
Continued growth with lower profitability
Nelly increased its sales by 7 percent in a generally weak market. The Swedish market has been challenging and Svensk Handel, an employer organization, reported that the fashion market shrank during the quarter. Nelly however, returned to growth in Sweden. Nelly launched some major campaigns, which are also being planned for the rest of the year. The number of customers and orders declined slightly, while the average shopping basket increased by 5 percent. The product margin was hampered by the effects of the weak Swedish currency on purchasing costs and by clearance sales of goods purchased in previous quarters. Consequently, the product margin decreased to 47 (51) percent.
Higher sales but a lower product margin resulted in the gross profit decreasing compared with last year to SEK 76 million. The gross margin was 23 (28) percent. Operating profit before depreciation, amortization and impairment was SEK 5 (24) million. Earnings were impacted by increased investments in marketing of SEK 5.3 million and non-recurring effects of SEK 4.6 million (outgoing CFO and a settlement with PostNord related to previous fiscal years).
Nelly intends to move its warehouse from Falkenberg to Borås in 2021. This upcoming investment is in line with the ambition to achieve a better customer experience, more efficient logistics and increased scalability. Borås is a strategic cluster for distribution, providing access to more transport options and possibilities for offering faster deliveries. There will be no need for a workforce in Falkenberg, but the employees will be given the opportunity to move with the company to Borås. The company continues to evaluate how logistics will be implemented, including which degree of automation that provides the best balance of customer experience, quality and cost.
Return rates have stabilized over the last few quarters and Nelly has benefited from having a digitalized returns process. It is now easier for customers to manage returns and buy replacement products, and the company gets the products back for resale faster.
FINANCIAL TARGETS
Qliro Group's financial targets for subsidiaries.
Qliro:
- Qliro Group has initiated the process to list Qliro on Nasdaq Stockholm's main market in the first half of 2020. As announced on October 21, 2019, this also means that Qliro is no longer being run to meet the financial target 2019, which was thus removed.
- The previous target was to achieve an operating profit before depreciation, amortization and impairment of SEK 100-125 million in 2019. The assessment that earnings would be slightly lower than this was announced in the half-year report.
CDON:
- Achieve a growth rate in external merchants' gross merchandise value above 20 percent per year.
- Achieve an operating margin before depreciation, amortization and impairment above 3 percent of net sales per year.
- It is estimated that operating profit before depreciation, amortization and impairment will be positive for full year 2019.
Nelly:
- Achieve organic growth in net sales above 10 percent per year.
- Achieve an operating margin before depreciation, amortization and impairment above 6 percent per year.
- The company's ability to achieve the target depends largely on developments in the fashion market, the strength of the brand, the attractiveness of the range and the return rate.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING AND AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD
On August 28, 2019, Qliro issued SEK 100 million in subordinated Tier 2 bonds (Tier 2 capital) to diversify the funding and optimize the capital structure. The bonds have a variable interest rate of Stibor 3 months + 6.75 percent per annum with maturity in September 2029 and the first opportunity for redemption in September 2024.
On October 10, 2019, it was announced that the Finnish Supreme Administrative Court rejected CDON Alandia's application for a leave to appeal a tax process in Finland. This means that the Helsinki Administrative Court decision in May 2018 is final, see page 10.
On October 15 Anna Ullman Sersé announced her intention to leave her position as Nelly's CEO. Marcus Lindqvist, CEO of Qliro Group, takes a more active role in the company and complements the existing management group as working chairman of the board.
On October 21, Qliro Group announced that it had initiated the process to list Qliro on Nasdaq Stockholm's main market in the first half of 2020. This also meant that Qliro is no longer being run to meet the financial target 2019, which was thus removed.

Investments in non-current assets amounted to SEK -28.3 (-17.8) million for the quarter and SEK -102.3 (-61.0) million for the nine-month period. Investments were made mainly in the technology platforms for Qliro and CDON.
Cash flow from divestment of operations amounted to SEK 0.0 (0.0) million for the quarter and SEK 0.0 (387.2) million for the nine-month period. Last year, this consisted mainly of payment for HSNG in the first quarter and the final payment for Lekmer in the second quarter.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 93.1 (0.0) million for the quarter and SEK -176.5 (0.0) million for the nine-month period. During the third quarter, Qliro issued a bond loan of SEK 100 million and during the first quarter Qliro Group repaid a bond loan of SEK 250 million.
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 313.9 (577.2) million at the end of the nine-month period. Cash and cash equivalents from e-commerce operations amounted to SEK 138.7 (550.9) million. During the last 12 months e-commerce operations invested SEK 125 million in Qliro as well as repaid the bond loan of SEK 250.0 million during the first quarter.
Total assets amounted to SEK 3,506.1 (2,964.6) million at the end of the nine-month period. The divestments of Lekmer in 2017 and HSNG in 2018 decreased consolidated assets compared with the previous year, which was offset by Qliro's increased lending to the public. Equity amounted to SEK 943.2 (984.3) million.
Discontinued operations
Qliro Group divested Lekmer AB in the third quarter of 2017 and Health and Sports Nutrition Group HSNG AB in the first quarter of 2018. These companies are recognized as discontinued operations in the Group. Continuing operations are recognized in this report (including historical comparative figures in income statements and cash flow reports) unless otherwise stated.
HSNG was valued at SEK 360 million on a debt-free basis with normalized working capital. Earnings from the divestment of shares excluding transaction-related costs were SEK 140.6 million in the first quarter of 2018.
Earnings after tax for discontinued operations amounted to SEK 0.0 (3.3) million for the quarter and SEK 0.0 (138.6) million for the first half of the year.
Parent company
The Qliro Group AB parent company reported sales of SEK 1.4 (4.6) million for the quarter and SEK 6.4 (13.9) million for the nine-month period. Profit before tax was SEK -12.3 (95.7) million for the quarter and SEK -42.3 (205.6) million for the nine-month period, affected by the divestment of HSNG in 2018. Cash and cash equivalents in the parent company amounted to SEK 15.1 (512.1) million at the end of the nine-month period, following repayment of bond loan of SEK 250 million and the discontinuation of a common cash pool for the subsidiaries.
As of September 30, Qliro Group had 154,994,779 shares issued, of which 149,774,779 were common shares and 5,220,000 were C shares. The C shares are held by Qliro Group and may not be represented at General Meetings.
Consolidated situation
Qliro Group and its subsidiary Qliro (credit market company under FI's supervision) have constituted a consolidated situation since the third quarter of 2018 as Qliro accounts for more than half of the Group's total assets. Certain rules for the credit market company therefore also apply to the parent company, such as the capital adequacy regulations. The consolidated situation (parent company and Qliro) was well-capitalized as at September 30, 2019.
Accounting policies and valuation principles
This interim report was prepared in accordance with IFRS using the same accounting policies and bases of calculation as the most recent annual report and with application of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 were applied from January 1, 2018 and IFRS 16 from January 1, 2019.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
IFRS 9 primarily affects Qliro Group through Qliro's credit loss reserves. According to IFRS 9, reserves for credit losses shall be made directly when a credit is issued, instead of as previously when there is an indication of increased credit risk. From January 1, 2018, reserves for projected credit losses will be made directly at the time of lending with the effect recognized in earnings. Due to the transition to IFRS 9 on January 1, 2018, the reserves increased by SEK 24 million, which affected the balance sheet items equity and lending to the public, but not the income statement. Most of the additional reserves stemmed from credits where at year-end there was no indication of impaired payment ability, and for which no provision had been made in accordance with previous accounting rules.
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
IFRS 15 has not led to any significant changes in revenue recognition since Qliro Group already recognizes revenue in a manner that complies with the requirements. In accordance with IFRS 15, Qliro Group has increased its reporting of information about the composition of net sales.
IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 replaces IAS 17 Leases and IFRIC 4 as of January 1, 2019. For lessees, IFRS 16 means that all leases (as defined) are recognized as assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and that associated depreciation and interest expenses are recognized in the income statement, with some exceptions. Qliro Group is applying the simplified approach over a transitional period. The transition to IFRS 16 at the start of 2019 resulted in assets and liabilities increasing by SEK 101 million.
Risks and uncertainties
Several factors affect, or may come to affect, directly or indirectly, the operations of the Qliro Group. These factors can be divided into industry and market risks, operational risks, financial risks and legal risks. In addition to these risks, there are specific risks for Qliro. Industry and market risks include market developments in e-commerce, seasonal variations, risks related to fashion trends, the economic situation and consumer purchasing power. Operational risks include interruptions or deficiencies in IT and control systems, supplier
relationships, inventories and distribution. Financial risks include currency risk, credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. Legal risks include legislation, regulation and compliance, disputes and intellectual property rights. The most prominent risks for Qliro include financial risks (see above), business risk/strategic risk and operational risks. The 2018 annual report contains a more comprehensive description of the risks and uncertainties affecting the Group in the Management Report and under Note 21.
CDON Alandia
Like other companies in the sector, CDON previously decided to distribute to customers in Finland from Åland. In January 2016, Qliro Group announced that the tax administration in Finland had decided to place an additional tax on CDON AB's Åland subsidiary CDON Alandia Ab for the 2012 fiscal year. In May 2018, Helsinki Administrative Court upheld parts of the decision, with the result that, in the second quarter of 2018, Qliro Group recognized a tax expense of SEK 57 million and an interest expense of SEK 13 million. As communicated previously, the full amount was paid to the Finnish authorities in 2017 or earlier. In July 2018, CDON Alandia submitted a leave to appeal and subsequently filed an appeal against the administrative court's decision to the Finnish Supreme Administrative Court, which in October 2019 announced that the application for a leave to appeal had been rejected and that the Helsinki Administrative Court's order was final and nonappealable. This means that the tax expense for the 2012 tax year remains in place but does not entail any additional cost or cash flow effects for Qliro Group.
As communicated previously, the Finnish authorities have been investigating suspected tax fraud related to CDON Alandia for several years. Proceedings had earlier been initiated at Åland district court in Finland against three persons who were members of CDON Alandia Ab's board in 2008-2013 and against two former employees of the Group. The case was previously expected to be heard at Åland district court at the end of the third quarter of 2019, but proceedings are now expected to be held in the first quarter of 2020. If those prosecuted were to be convicted, they may be liable to pay damages to the Finnish authorities. If those prosecuted are ordered to pay damages, under certain circumstances they may direct claims to Qliro Group, CDON or CDON Alandia for compensation for any damages they might be ordered to pay. No such claims have been made, and Qliro Group has not made any provisions for such claims.
Related party transactions
Transactions with related parties are presently of the same character as described in the 2018 annual report.

Qliro Group's year-end report for 2019 will be published on February 5, 2020 and the interim report for the first quarter on April 21.

Review report
To the Board of Directors of Qliro Group AB (publ) Corp. id. 556035-6940
Introduction
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Qliro Group AB (publ) as of 30 September 2019 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
