Since June 2018, Qliro Group's strategy is to operate Qliro Financial Services, CDON Marketplace and Nelly as three completely independent companies. This will create the best prospects for the companies and thereby increased shareholder value. The process is progressing as planned and we took several steps with this work in the quarter.
As part of the process, we have renewed management in the three companies and strengthened the corporate governance at Nelly and CDON. Thus, now all the companies have separate boards with representatives from the Group's board and management along with external members for Qliro Financial Services and Nelly. This means that the companies are run independently of each other and that Group management focuses on making the companies independent and ready to be listed, while also evaluating potential transactions. Work is underway to separate the companies' IT and accounting systems, and all three companies are expected to be operationally and structurally independent in the first half of 2019. In addition, we believe that all our companies will be listable in the second half of 2019.
Qliro Financial Services provides financial services to consumers and e-merchants. During the coming year, focus lies on attracting more merchants and further strengthening the Nordic offering. The company has over 30 merchants and half of the volume comes from e-merchants outside the Group.
The loan book grew by 45 percent in the quarter to more than SEK 1.5 billion with the fastest growth in personal loans. Total operating income increased by 26 percent even though transaction volumes were adversely affected CDON Marketplace's phase-out of sales from its own inventory.
Total operating expenses increased 31 percent, driven by increased commercial initiatives and recruitment of people working to attract new merchants. In addition, the company has further strengthened the management team and key functions as part of the work to become an independent company.
CDON Marketplace successfully continues its transition as the leading Nordic marketplace. During the quarter, sales by external merchants increased by 20 percent, which proves the potential of the marketplace. At the same time, operating profit before depreciation doubled to SEK 20 million and the corresponding margin increased from 1.3 percent to 3.5 percent. This was driven by a 27 percent increase in commission revenues and a 20 percent decrease in personnel costs, as the company was benefitting from its IT-platform and automation.
The rationale for investments in the marketplace model and dropshipment (sales directly from the suppliers' warehouses) is to generate growth while using less capital and thereby stronger cash flows over time. At the end of the year, inventory levels were 31 percent lower than last year.
We have now laid the foundation for continued growth and increased efficiency, which provides the opportunity for further reduced personnel costs in 2019. Scalability and continued growth of the marketplace are the key to building an independent and profitable company. As previously communicated, operating profit before depreciation and amortization is expected to be positive for 2019.
Nelly is one of the most well-known fashion brands online in the Nordics among women aged 18 to 29. At its core is its own brands, complemented by a well-curated portfolio of approximately 200 external brands.
The general fashion market in Sweden was characterized by weaker demand, which led to a generally high amount of campaign activity in the quarter. Nelly's growth initiatives led to an 11 percent increase in the number of customers and a 10 percent increase in average shopping basket for the quarter. The successful customer acquisition is important given the company's strong customer loyalty over time. Order intake increased by 6 percent, while the sales increase was limited to 1 percent due to increased return rates. Sales increased in Norway, Denmark and Finland, but declined in Sweden. In the Swedish market, the company had a strong Singles' Day but a less effective sales strategy for Black Week. This led the company to focus on selling seasonal clothes during the after-Christmas sale to ensure that the inventory is appropriate heading into the new season.
Qliro Group has a strong financial position with a cash position of SEK 692 million, whereof the net cash of the e-commerce business was SEK 420 million (excluding the bond). Considering this, we will redeem the outstanding SEK 250 million bond loan. Our debt will decrease and the bond loan's restrictions on special listings and dividends will be removed. Our companies have strong positions and are driving forces in Nordic ecommerce.
Marcus Lindqvist President and CEO Stockholm, February 5, 2019

1Of which accrued interest was SEK 2.7 (0.7) million
Qliro Financial Services consists of the credit market company Qliro AB, which offers digital financial services to merchants and consumers. The strategy is to offer a payment solution to merchants while utilizing transaction volume and customer relationships to offer digital financial services to consumers. The payment solution ensures that e-merchants can receive payments and good conversion rates. E-commerce volumes help lower customer acquisition costs for consumer services, which is expected to provide a long-term competitive advantage and contribute to profitability and return on equity. Qliro Financial Services focuses on the Nordic region, which is an attractive credit market through the availability of individual financial information and established credit recovery processes.
Since its start in 2014, Qliro Financial Services has built up its offering of financial services to consumers and merchants. The focus lies on attracting more merchants (now more than 30), capitalizing on existing services and further strengthening the Nordic offering.
The financial performance depends on e-commerce volume and the recruitment of new merchants. As previously communicated, the company's sales volume is affected by CDON Marketplace's phase-out of selling from its own inventory as part of its efforts to become an independent and profitable company. In the fourth quarter, volumes from CDON Marketplace were 14 percent lower than the year before.
Qliro Financial Services' business volume grew 19 percent to SEK 1,593 million. Merchants that are not part of Qliro Group accounted for over 50 percent of e-commerce volume, which fulfils the target that was communicated in 2017 for the end of 2018.
Total operating income increased 26 percent to SEK 82 million in the quarter. This was driven by the loan book, which grew 45 percent to SEK 1,530 million, with the fastest growth in personal loans. SEK 1,213 million of the loan book was for invoices, partial payments and instalments, and SEK 317 million was for personal loans. This was financed through banks, savings accounts and equity.
The growth within personal loans was driven by digital marketing to existing customers. Over 95 percent of the borrowers had an existing relationship with Qliro Financial Services, and many apply through Qliro's app. This gave low customer acquisition costs and the possibility of selective credit granting by identifying people with good creditworthiness. The credit test is automated and builds on a combination of internal and external data that is analysed in real time using machine learning. The personal loans granted had a contractual maturity of just over eight years on average. During the quarter, the personal loan product was developed with increased flexibility for consumers. The company has good prospects for cost-effectively growing the personal loan business.
To strengthen its position as an independent company, Qliro Financial Services increased its commercial investments and strengthened the organization that is working to attract and integrate new merchants and to strengthen the service offering. In addition, the company has further strengthened the management team and key functions as part of the work to become an independent company.
These investments are vital to strengthen the company in the long-term but affected profitability for the quarter. Personnel costs increased by SEK 8 million, which increased other operating expenses by 32 percent to SEK 61.6 (46.8) million.
Depreciation increased by SEK 2.4 million as the technology platform was rolled out and more projects were commissioned in 2018. From January 1, 2018, reserves for projected credit losses are made directly at the time of lending with the effect recognized in earnings (per IFRS 9). During the quarter, provisions for expected future credit losses amounted to SEK 16.9 million, compared with SEK 14.2 million in the third quarter of this year and SEK 7.0 million (per IAS 39) in the fourth quarter of last year. The increase was driven by growth in the loan book and effects on provisions for expected future credit losses linked to the implementation of IFRS 9. Operating income before depreciation, amortization and impairment was SEK 3.2 (11.1) million.
Qliro AB is under the supervision of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (FI). The capital base was SEK 255 million, the total risk exposure was SEK 1,507 million and the core capital ratio was 16.9 percent of the risk exposure amount as of December 31, 2018. Qliro Group is well-capitalized and contributes capital to Qliro AB as needed to support the company's growth and capital needs.
Besides equity, lending to the public was financed in the amount of SEK 458 (325) million via a secured credit facility and SEK 969 (612) million through deposits from the public (savings accounts) in Sweden. Of the deposits from the public, 99.8 percent were protected by the deposit guarantee in Sweden. Of all deposits from the public, approximately half had floating interest rates and half had fixed interest rates, with a remaining average maturity of approximately 212 days as of December 31, 2018 (initially 1-year fixed interest rate). Funding through the loan facility is mainly used for lending to the public in foreign currencies.

1Commission income included in net sales is replaced with gross merchandise value from external retailers for CDON Marketplace
CDON Marketplace is the leading digital Nordic marketplace. Consumers turn to CDON.COM to purchase various products at a single site as well as taking advantage of low prices, easy payments and efficient delivery. Merchants join CDON Marketplace to take advantage of the site's market position and traffic as well as its tools to drive sales.
CDON Marketplace continues its transition toward the marketplace model to build an independently profitable company. The external merchants increased their sales by 20 percent, which contributed to a 27 percent increase in commission revenue in the quarter. Together, the external merchants and drop shipment (delivery direct to the customer from CDON Marketplace's supplier) accounted for 41 percent of gross merchandise value. The gross margin increased by as much as 3.1 percentage points to 15.0 percent.
Meanwhile, the phasing out of sales from our own inventory continued, especially in the lower-margin consumer electronics segment (mobile phones, TVs, etc.). The home electronics offering is instead built up through external merchants that provide a wide range at competitive prices. Consequently, net sales (which do not include external merchant´s sales) decreased by 24 percent to SEK 558 million in the quarter. This is part of the transition to a marketplace and will continue in the coming quarters with a negative impact on sales but over time improve conditions for higher margins and profitable growth. The phasing out of home electronics meant that the average shopping basket decreased.
The transition to a marketplace and dropshipment creates opportunities for growth with lower inventory levels, which over time is expected to provide stronger cash flow and decrease working capital needs. In line with this strategy, inventory levels were 31 percent lower at the end of 2018 compared with the end of 2017.
CDON Marketplace has for several years invested in technology platforms and process automation. The company is now benefiting from these investments and has reduced its dependence on manual processes. As a consequence, CDON Marketplace has reduced its number of employees. Increased commission income and lower employee costs led to a doubling of operating income before depreciation, amortization and impairment to SEK 20 million for the quarter and a corresponding margin increase from 1.3 percent to 3.5 percent.

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 is its own brand, 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. A key strategic strength is that a high proportion of sales are clothes and asseccories of Nelly's own designs.
Nelly's growth initiatives led to an 11 percent increase in the number of customers and a 10 percent increase in average shopping basket for the quarter. The strong growth in number of customers is particularly important given the company's strong customer loyalty over time. In 2018, returning customers accounted for approximately 85 percent of sales. Most sales come from customers who make over five purchases per year.
The general market in Sweden was characterized by weaker demand, which led to generally higher campaign activity in fashion during the quarter. Order intake increased by 6 percent, while the sales increase was limited to 1 percent due to increased provisions for returns in the quarter. Sales increased in Norway, Denmark and Finland, but declined in Sweden.
Sales in Sweden were affected by lower than planned sales of own brands during Black Week and clearances during the after-Christmas sale. After a weaker Black Week, the focus was on selling seasonal clothes to secure a seasonally adapted inventory for 2019. Sales during the fourth quarter of 2017 were affected by a campaign with extended return rights, which, however, led to a high return rate during the first quarter of 2018. In April 2018, it was communicated that Nelly had made insufficient reserves for this unexpected high return rate. Inventories decreased by SEK 54 million during the quarter, but at year-end it was higher than last year. Current inventory levels create good prospects for a strong spring season.
The operating margin before depreciation, amortization and impairment was 4.8 percent for the quarter, which is lower than fourth quarter last year (but higher than full year 2018).
The operating margin was impacted by increased costs for fulfilment and distribution (uneven utilization of capacity) and by a decrease in the proportion of own brands from 46 to 43 percent of sales, mainly due to lower sales of own brands during Black Week.
The last quarters' increase in return levels is slowing down. To further improve the return process, Nelly will implement a project to digitalize and streamline the handling of returns during the spring.
Continuing operations are recognized in this report (including historical comparative figures in income statements and cash flow reports) unless otherwise stated. Lekmer and HSNG are recognized as discontinued operations.
Net sales amounted to SEK 1,037.7 (1,199.9) million in the quarter, of which SEK 560.8 (676.1) million in Sweden, SEK 434.4 (489.0) million in the rest of the Nordic region and SEK 42.5 (34.7) million in the rest of the world.

The gross margin increased by 1.2 percentage points to 23.0 (21.8) percent for the quarter and amounted to 23.3 (22.5) percent for the full year. The gross margin increased for CDON Marketplace and decreased for Nelly.

Cash flow from changes in working capital in Qliro Financial Services amounted to SEK -17.3 (6.5) million for the quarter and SEK -88.9 (76.8) million for the full year.

Total assets at year-end amounted to SEK 3,440.2 (3,243.5) million. The divestments of Lekmer in 2017 and HSNG in 2018 decreased consolidated assets compared with the previous year, which was offset by Qliro Financial Services' increased lending to the public. Equity amounted to SEK 994.5 (1,009.6) million.
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.

HSNG was valued at SEK 360 million on a debt-free basis with normalized working capital. Profit from the divestment of shares excluding transaction-related costs was SEK 140.6 million in the first quarter. Profit after tax for discontinued operations amounted to SEK 0.0 (-37.3) million for the quarter and SEK 138.6 (-52.1) million for the full year. It consisted mainly of the impact on earnings from HSNG's operating earnings, the impact on earnings from divestment of HSNG and transaction-related items.
The Qliro Group AB parent company reported sales of SEK 4.1 (6.7) million for the quarter and SEK 18.0 (27.1) million for the full year. Profit before tax amounted to SEK 11.5 (47.1) million for the quarter and SEK 217.0 (-41.6) million for the full year. Cash and cash equivalents in the parent company amounted to SEK 431.0 (545.1) million at year-end.
As of December 31, Qliro Group had 154,994,779 shares issued, of which 149,694,779 were common shares and 5,300,000 were C shares. The C shares are held by Qliro Group and may not be represented at General Meetings.
A consolidated situation arose when the subsidiary Qliro AB (credit market company under Finansinspektionen's supervision), based on the Capital Requirements Regulation, was considered the main business of the Group, which occurred at the end of Q2 when Qliro AB accounted for more than half of the Group's total assets. The consolidated situation consists of the parent company Qliro Group AB and Qliro AB and has been assigned a special institution number. 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 AB) was well-capitalized as at December 31, 2018.
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IFRS with application of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies and methods of calculation used in the preparation of the latest annual report have been applied, except for new and amended standards and interpretations effective from January 1, 2018 The IASB has issued amendments to standards effective from January 1, 2018. The Group applies the new standards IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments) and IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) effective from January 1, 2018.
IFRS 9 primarily affects Qliro Group through Qliro Financial Services' 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 before taxes, 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.
The implementation and application of 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 of IFRS 15. In accordance with IFRS 15, Qliro Group has increased its reporting of information about the composition of net sales.
This standard will replace IAS 17 Leases and IFRIC 4 from the financial year starting 1 January 2019. For lessees this means that all contracts that meet the definition in this standard of a lease must be recognized as an asset and liability in the balance sheet, with recognition of amortization and interest expense in profit and loss, with a few exceptions. Qliro Group will apply the simplified approach as transition method. The project relating to the introduction of IFRS 16 has progressed according to plan. The transition to IFRS 16 will mean that assets and liabilities will increase by approximately SEK 95 million.
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 Financial Services. 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 and compliance, as well as intellectual property rights. The most prominent risks for Qliro Financial Services include financial risks (see above), business risk/strategic risk and operational risks. Risks to Qliro Financial Services may change as credit market companies are permitted to launch new products. The 2017 annual report contains a more comprehensive description of the risks and uncertainty factors affecting the Group in the Management Report and under Note 21.
In January 2016, Qliro Group announced that the tax administration in Finland decided to place an additional tax on CDON AB´s Åland-based subsidiary CDON Alandia AB for the 2012 fiscal year. CDON Alandia appealed the decision to the Helsinki Administrative Court, which in May 2018 largely rejected CDON Alandia's claims. Consequently, a tax expense of SEK 57 million and an interest expense of SEK 13 million were recognized by Qliro Group in the second quarter of 2018. The entire amount had been paid to Finnish authorities in 2017 or earlier. CDON Alandia has submitted an appeal to the Finnish Supreme Administrative Court and a decision is expected in 2019. This tax process applies only to the tax year 2012 and any additional claims from the Tax Administration against the company are time-barred.
As previously communicated, Finnish authorities have since many years been conducting an investigation related to CDON Alandia on suspicion of tax fraud. Despite the fact that the tax process has not yet been finally settled through a legally enforceable ruling, Finnish prosecutors in Q3 2018 brought charges in Åland's district court in Finland against three persons who were members of CDON Alandia's board during the years 2008- 2013 and against two former employees of CDON.
Like other companies in the industry, CDON previously chose to distribute to customers in Finland from Åland. Operations (in CDON Alandia) have been discontinued. CDON is of the opinion that the company acted in accordance with relevant laws and the company follows the development of the process.
Transactions with related parties are presently of the same character as described in the 2017 annual report.
Qliro Group's interim report for the first quarter of 2019 will be published on April 17, 2019.
