CEO Comments

MARKETING & SALES

The market remained tough in the second quarter and we see no change in Europe – nor in our largest markets such as Sweden and Norway. The only geographical area that feels stable and which may be on the way up is the USA. Meanwhile, we lost sales in the quarter due to stocks being too low for certain items e.g. t-shirt and polo.

Result

We have good cost control. This, together with the fact that Orrefors Kosta Boda continues to improve means that we managed a decent result. However, a result which I still am far from satisfied with. I consider several of our companies and brands are underachieving even if the market is tough. During the autumn we will continue to focus on improvements in these companies and structural changes and reorganising may be required among subsidiaries.

Cash flow and working capital

We still have good control over cash flow but unfortunately we have too low stocks in regards to corporate promo. We will therefore increase stocks in corporate promo during the coming quarters.

Future

We expect a continued tough and difficult market in the third quarter and maybe for the rest of the year. We have not seen any signs of a turnaround in the first half year, but instead a certain deterioration. During the first half year, we have worked to prioritize results and further strengthening of our balance sheet. We will, however, during the remainder of the year increase sales and marketing efforts. While this may give slightly worse results in the coming quarters, we are convinced that it is right for the future.

SUMMARY OF THE QUARTER APRIL – JUNE

The weak market conditions from the first quarter continued into the second quarter. Sales decreased by 7% and was mainly related to Sweden and the other Nordic countries, but even currency changes to SEK had a negative effect. The operating segments Coporate Promo and Sports & Leisure sales decreased by 6% and 7%, which was related to weak market conditions, primarily in Sweden and other Nordic countries for both segments. Gifts & Home Furnishings sales decreased by 14% which was mainly related to a weaker performance in the Swedish promo market as well as the export markets. Of our sales channels – promo and retail – promo decreased by 6% and retail by 7%.

The gross profit margin increased and is, among other things, due to the steps taken last year with regard to Orrefors Kosta Boda which is starting to give results.

The group's costs have decreased compared to last year and relates to cost-cutting measures previously undertaken.

Profit after tax improved by SEK 5.6 million to SEK 38.9 million (SEK 33.3 million). The improved result is related to the implementation of cost-cutting measures in primarily Orrefors Kosta Boda, as well as actively working on improving efficiency.

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 41.8 million (SEK 132.8 million). The decrease is mainly due to the accrual of payments for purchase of goods but also of higher current receivables. Stock-in-trade decreased by SEK 417 million and as of June 30 amounted to SEK 1,565 million (SEK 1,982 million). The decrease is mainly attributable to reduced purchases.

POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

Acquisitions

Since 1999, the American company Karhu North America LLC ("Karhu") has been the exclusive distributor for New Wave Group AB's sports brand CRAFT in the USA and Canada. As of July 1, New Wave Group, through its wholly owned subsidiary, New Wave USA Inc., acquired the part of Karhu activity involving the distribution

of CRAFT products, consisting of stock, certain intangible assets and contract rights. The acquisition is structured as an operating transfer. The initial purchase price is USD 3 million with an additional contingent consideration based on the performance of the business over the next five years. The total additional consideration cannot exceed USD 4.75 million. Three Karhu employees will be transfered in connection with the acquisition.

Since the acquired business has been conducted under Karhu's other operations, there are no separately audited sales and income information for the CRAFT distribution. Based on pro-forma information, the acquired business achieved sales of approximately USD 6.9 million for the fiscal year 2012. New Wave Group expects the acquisition will add an additional annual operating profit of approximately USD 0.7 million.

The acquired business will be conducted in a newly formed U.S. company: Craft Sportswear North America LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of New Wave USA Inc. Current CEO of Karhu, Huub Valkenburg, who founded the CRAFT distribution in North America, will continue as CEO in the new company, which will still be operated with headquarters in Beverly, Massachusetts. New Wave Group believes that the acquisition and the new structure will provide a good basis for further expansion of the CRAFT brand in the USA and Canada during the coming years.
