CEO Comments

Market conditions and sales

The market in the first quarter was, if possible, even harder than I thought – although I was pretty realistic about not believing in any quick turnaround in my last CEO comments. The quarter is also difficult to assess because of a relatively large calendar effect and an extreme late spring. Sales declined, measured in local currencies, by 7%, which on the one hand I think is really bad but at the same time hope and believe much of this is a calendar effect and to a certain degree weather effects.

Result

Thanks to good cost control and relatively strong gross profit, we still have a fully acceptable result for the quarter. Improvement is related to the operating segment Gifts & Home Furnishings, where last year's corrective measures for Orrefors Kosta Boda looks to give the desired effects.

Cash flow and working capital

Cash flow remains well under control and significantly better than last year, leading to lower net debt. I am very pleased with our balance sheet, although we will endeavor to strengthen it further.

Future

We expect a continued tough and difficult market in the second quarter and maybe throughout the year. We have not seen any signs of a turnaround in the first quarter, but rather in this case, a certain deterioration. We are, however, urged on by prioritizing results and further strengthen our balance sheet, and on these points, we are ready to achieve a decent year – if only the market does not deteriorate further. Obviously, I hope the market rebounds – but it's not something we even dare to count on.

Comments

SUMMARY OF THE QUARTER JANUARY–MARCH

Sales during the first quarter decreased by 10%. This was due to weaker market conditions, mainly in Sweden and Europe, but even due to currency changes. This decrease was also partly due to the number of invoicing days compared to last year (calendar effect). Within our operating segments, Corporate Promo and Sports & Leisure, sales decreased by 10% respective 9%, which in regard to Corporate Promo was due to weaker market conditions, mainly in Sweden and Europe, and in regard to Sports & Leisure in all regions. The Gifts and Home Furnishings segment's sales decreased, which was mainly related to weaker development in the Swedish promo market and export market. Of our sales channels – promo and retail – promo decreased by 11% and retail by 9%.

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. Even the mix of customers and markets had a positive effect.

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

Cash flow from operations improved by SEK 61.1 million and amounted to SEK 106.1 million (SEK 45.0 million). The improvement is mainly due to reduced stocks as well as lower receivables.

REPORTING OF OPERATING SEGMENTS

New Wave Group AB divides its operations into three segments: Corporate Promo, Sports & Leisure and Gifts & Home Furnishings. The Group monitors the segments' and brands' sales as well as profit (EBITDA). The operating segments are based on the Group's operational manage-ment.

Corporate Promo

Turnover for the first quarter decreased by SEK 38 million and amounted to SEK 345 million (SEK 383 million). Profit (EBITDA) amounted to SEK 8.9 million (SEK 12.9 million). The decrease is due to a weaker promo market in Sweden, the Nordic countries and Europe. The undertaken costcutting measures partly compensate for the lower sales and the result is SEK 4.0 million lower than last year.

Sports & Leisure

Turnover for the first quarter decreased by 9% and amounted to SEK 425 million (SEK 465 million). The result (EBITDA) amounted to SEK 25.3 million, which was SEK 2.6 million less than last year (SEK 27.9 million). The lower turnover is mainly due to a weaker market in all regions. The lower turnover has been compensated by undertaken cost-cutting measures.

Gifts & Home Furnishings

Turnover for the first quarter decreased by 15% and amounted to SEK 107 million (SEK 127 million). The result (EBITDA) improved by SEK 19.9 million and amounted to SEK -6.4 million (SEK -26.3 million). The turnover decrease is mainly due to Orrefors Kosta Boda's decreased promo and export sales. The profit increase is mainly related to cost savings and improved operating margins.

GEOGRAPHICAL ALLOCATION

Sales decreased by 13% in Sweden, mainly due to a decrease in the promo sales channel. USA decreased its turnover by 9%. Excluding negative currency exchange effects in relation to converting to SEK, sales decreased by 5%. The decrease is due to weaker development in the retail sales channel. The other Nordic countries decreased due to lower sales in Norway and Finland. In Europe, most of the countries have had a decrease compared to last year, due to worse market conditions.

CAPITAL TIED UP

Capital tied up in inventories has decreased by SEK 399 million and amounted to SEK 1,594 million (SEK 1,993 million).
