Turnover Result before tax

CEO Comments

The second quarter was a disappointment. Even if I believed in a weak quarter, I had still expected a profit of SEK 20 million better. I believe, however, that third and fourth quarter will show better performance. However, there is uncertainty in this (see below under Future & risk).

Sales & Marketing

Sales were hampered to some extent, and for the last time, of some stock shortages. It was otherwise largely as expected, except that the United States was below our expectations. The silver lining is that the promo sales channel is beginning to improve, the disappointment was above all retail and USA. We have made the necessary investments to create growth for the next quarters and we believe we will achieve it.

Results

The result is clearly a disappointment, as we have increased the cost of sales and marketing, we should have achieved higher sales and a better result. Even the gross profit margin was lower than planned.

Cash flow and balance sheet

We continue to have a very strong balance sheet and are well positioned for growth - but we have to increase inventories in several of our companies and brands.

Future & Risk

I see a bright future in the coming quarters and years. We have already done much to position ourselves for growth and good results. In the short term the risk is that it may take longer than expected before all measures produce results. So even if I see positive for the coming quarters, there is a risk that there may be another disappointment before the current development turns. But the actions we do in terms of expansion of the sales force, increased marketing, new product launches and inventory build-up, we have to do in order to become long-term strong and grow again - even if the price is that we continue to worsen the result somewhat over one or more quarters.

SUMMARY OF THE QUARTER APRIL - JUNE

Sales were slightly lower than last year, although we see an improvement within the Corporate Promo segment. The operating segment Corporate Promo increased its sales by 8%, which was mainly related to Europe and Asia. Sports & Leisure decreased by 9%, which was mainly related to the Swedish and American markets. Acquired business contributed by SEK 5 million. Gifts & Home Furnishings decreased by 5% compared to last year, which was mainly due to lower turnover on the export markets.

We have seen an increase within the promo sales channel by 5%, mainly within Europe and Asia. Retail has been weaker and decreased by 8%, which occurred both within the Nordic countries and North America.

The gross profit margin was lower than last year due to changes in the mix of customers and markets. Even freight costs and more expensive substitutes because of shortages in certain segments of the promo inventory had a negative effect. The inventory situation is expected to improve during the coming quarter.

Consolidated costs have increased compared to last year. This is a planned increase in our sales and marketing efforts and costs in these areas will be higher than last year even in the coming quarters.

Profit after tax amounted to SEK 29.4 (38.9) million and the decrease was due to a lower gross margin and more effort within sales and marketing.

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -27.7 (41.8) million. The lower cash flow is primarily attributable to higher stock purchases than last year. Inventories increased by SEK 55 million compared to last year and amounted to SEK 1,620 (1,565) million. Our inventories will increase further in the coming months. The reason is that we will be launching a new basic range, and we had shortages in some segments of our promo stock. Net

debt decreased by SEK 102 million to SEK 1,327 (1,429) million. The net debt to equity ratio improved by 10.4 percentage points and amounted to 62.9 (73.3) %.
