CEO Comments

2014 began somewhat better than what we had expected in both sales and earnings. 4 % growth despite continuing shortages is quite OK, but we should remember that we also had a positive calendar effect this year because of the later Easter.

We also thought our earnings would be somewhat worse but costs were slightly lower than expected.

We are once again increasing the number of employees and from 1 January to 31 March, the Group increased by 36 people. As we previously mentioned, the majority of recruitments are within sales and it takes between 6-12 months before they are productive. We will continue with recruiting in the coming quarters.

Our building up of inventories and launching of new products and collections are, for the most part, following our plan. We will, as we have said before, have some stock shortages even in the second quarter but during the third quarter we will be completely in phase. All in all, this means that we repeat what we said earlier,

namely that the second quarter will be a weak quarter and from the third quarter onwards we will have good growth with an aim of growing by at least 10%.

The balance sheet remains very strong which is positive for future expansion.

Last but not least, the Olympics were held in the first quarter. The success of Craft and Auclair's athletes was almost difficult to understand, including successes by the Swedish cross-country team, the Dutch skating team and several Canadian teams!

We look ahead with confidence!

SUMMARY OF THE QUARTER JANUARy–MARch

Sales increased by 4% compared to last year. The increase is primarily related to the segment Corporate Promo and its sales in Europe and Sweden. The acquired business contributed SEK 9 million (1%). Sports & Leisure increased its sales in the Nordic countries but decreased in the U.S. market, mainly within the retail sales channel. Gifts & Home Furnishings sales were unchanged from the previous year and here we see an increase in Sweden while the U.S. market decreased. With regard to our sales channels, promo increased by 6% and retail sales by 1%.

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

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.

Result for the period amounted to SEK -11.3 (0.1) 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 88.8 (106.1) million. The lower cash flow is primarily attributable to higher stock purchases than last year. We will increase our inventories further in the coming months. The reason is that we will be launching a new basic range and that we had shortages in some segments of our promo stock. Inventories as a whole has declined by SEK 93 million compared to last year and as of 31 March amounted to SEK 1,501 (1,594) million.

Net debt decreased by SEK 220 million to SEK 1,188 (1,408) million. The net debt to equity ratio improved by 16.6 percentage points and amounted to 56.8 (73.4) %.

JANUARy–MARch

The operating segment Corporate Promo increased sales by 5% and it is mainly Europe and Sweden which have increased.

Sales in Sweden increased by 3%, which occurred in both sales channels. U.S. decreased by 1%. The acquired business contributed 4% of the segment's sales and excluding acquisitions, sales decreased by 5%. The decrease is related to the retail sales channel. Other Nordic countries increased by 3%, which is related to the Danish and Finnish markets. It is primarily the promo sales channel that is growing. Sales in Central Europe increased 7% which is mainly related to the Netherlands and the UK and the promo sales channel. Southern Europe decreased by 3%, which occurred in both sales channels.

Gross profit

Gross profit margin amounted to 45.2 (47.9) %. The decrease is related to higher freight costs and more expensive substitutes because of shortages in certain segments of the promo inventory, but even changes in the mix of customers and markets had a negative effect.

Other operating income and other operating expenses

Other operating income decreased by SEK 1.5 million to SEK 7.1 (8.6 ) million. Other operating income is primarily attributable to currency exchange gains but also invoiced expenses and should be compared with the line "Other operating expenses" in which, primarily foreign exchange losses are reported. Other operating expenses decreased by SEK 1.4 million and amounted to SEK -2.4 (-3.8) million. Net of the above items was SEK 4.7 (4.8) million.

Costs and depreciation

External costs increased by SEK 6.5 million and amounted to SEK -229.5 (-223.0) million and the acquired business impacted by SEK -2.2 million. The increase is related to additional sales and marketing activities.

Personnel costs amounted to SEK -179.5 million, which is SEK 4.8 million higher than last year (SEK -174.7 million). The increase is related to new employees. Acquired business impacted by SEK -1.9 million.

Depreciation and amortization increased slightly compared with the previous year and amounted to SEK -12.4 (-11.7) million.

Operating margin

Operating margin was -0.7 (1.8) % and the decrease is due to a lower gross margin and increased sales and marketing activities.

Net financial items and taxes

Net financial expense decreased to SEK -8.3 (-16.0) million, primarily due to lower net debt.

Tax in absolute terms amounted to SEK 2.9 (0.0) million.

Result for the period

Result for the period amounted to SEK -11.3 (0.1) million and earnings per share amounted to SEK -0.17 (0.00). The lower result is related to a lower gross profit and higher costs due to increased sales and marketing activities. The acquired business contributed SEK 0.1 million.

Craft had an amazing success during the Sochi Winter Olympics. When summarizing the medalists the Craft sponsored teams gathered the impressive amount of 38 medals. This makes the Sochi Olympics the most successful ever for Craft.

Craft – Sochi

The innovative, ergonomic and aerodynamic racing gear for both Dutch Speedskaters, Swedish and Finnish XC skiers helped the athletes to perform at their peak. The different racing suits are the result of our long and close relationship

with the teams and research institutes to develop new materials and technical solutions, in order to offer cutting-edge competition apparel.

auclair – Sochi

2014 Sochi Olympics Auclair scores gold with its strong visibility on and off the podiums. In total, the brand and it's athlets took 35 medals during the Olympics and Paralympics.

Canadian cross country skiing team. Auclair is also official supplier of gloves to practically every Canadian team on snow and ice, including alpine, snowboard, freestyle, bobsleigh, luge, Nordic combined and telemark.

RePORTING OF OPERATING SEGMENTS

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

Corporate Promo

Sales increased by SEK 17 million and amounted to SEK 362 (345) million. Profit (EBITDA) amounted to SEK 1.4 (8.9) million. Sales growth has taken place primarily in Europe and Sweden. The lower profit is mainly related to a lower gross profit margin.

Sports & Leisure

Sales for the period increased by 3% to SEK 439 (425) million. Profit (EBITDA) amounted to SEK 18.9 million, which was SEK 6.4 million lower than last year (SEK 25.3 million). The lower profit was due to lower gross margins and higher marketing costs. The acquired business contributed SEK 9 million in sales and SEK 0.1 million in earnings.

Gifts & Home Furnishings

Sales amounted to SEK 108 million and was on par with last year (SEK 107 million). Result (EBITDA) amounted to SEK -13.8 million, which was SEK 7.4 million lower than last year (SEK -6.4 million). The lower result is mainly related to a lower gross margin but also higher marketing costs.

CAPITAL TIED UP

The Group has reduced its capital in inventory by SEK 93 million compared to last year. Total inventories as of March 31, amounted to SEK 1,501 (1,594) million. The decrease is primarily due to lower purchases. The stock turnover improved to 1.3 (1.1). In the coming months we will be increasing inventories as we currently have shortages with certain basic lines, and will be expanding the product range with new basic collections.

SEK million 2014-03 2013-03
Raw materials 24.2 24.3
Work in progress 3.9 12.9
Goods in transit 87.4 63.5
Merchandise on stock 1,385.8 1,493.2
Total 1,501.3 1,593.9

Inventories have been written down by SEK 104 (166) million, of which SEK 14 (27) million relates to raw materials. Impairment related to merchandise on stock amounted to 6.1 (9.3) %. The decrease is primarily related to the sale of stock that has been subject to impairment.

Accounts receivable amounted to SEK 651 (628) million. The increase is related to higher sales.

INVESTMENTS, FINANCING AND LIQUIDITY

Consolidated cash flow from operations during the quarter was slightly lower than last year, amounting to SEK 88.8 (106.1) million. The reason is that we have more stock purchases than the corresponding period last year. The net cash investments amounted to SEK -15.0 (-9.7) million.

Net debt decreased by SEK 220 million to SEK 1,188 (1,408) million, which is mainly due to improved inventory turnover. Net debt in relation to equity and working capital decreased to 56.8 (73.4) % and 66.5 (76.8) %.

Equity ratio improved by 5.4 percentage points to 51.4 (46.0) %. The improvement is related to lower working capital and net debt reduction.

The Group has a credit agreement which is valid until 12 November 2015. The credit agreement has, as of March 31, a credit framework of SEK 2,242 million, of which the principal agreement amounts to SEK 2,137 million. The credit facility amount has been limited to and dependent on the value of some underlying assets. The principal agreement means that business and financial ratios (covenants) must be fulfilled in order to maintain the agreement. Interest is based on each respective currency's base rate and fixed margin.

Based on the present forecast, management estimates that the Group will be able to meet these covenants with sufficient margin.

PERSONNEL AND ORGANISATION

The number of employees amounted to 2,159 (2,250), of whom 51% were female and 49% male. Of the total number of employees 533 (607) work in production. The production contained within the New Wave Group is attributable to Ahead (embroidery), Cutter & Buck (embroidery), Paris Glove, Orrefors Kosta Boda, Seger, Dahetra and Toppoint.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

There are lease agreements with affiliates. Affiliates of the Managing Director have bought merchandise and received compensation for consulting services. The parent company has purchased consulting services from a board member. All transactions are on market terms.

THE PARENT COMPANY

Total revenues for the first three months amounted to SEK 23.0 (25.4) million. Result before appropriations and tax was SEK -3.3 (-5.7) million. Net borrowings amounted to SEK 1,227 (1,462) million, of which SEK 957 (1 082) million refer to financing to subsidiaries. Net investments amounted to SEK -6.6 (-0.9) million.
