RevolutionRace's financial year is July-June.
*Alternative performance measures, see pages 20-22.
Comment from the CEO RevolutionRace reports its strongest quarter yet. Growing by 58% and increasing EBIT to 117 MSEK.
I am happy and proud to be able to report the greatest individual quarter in the history of the company. Net sales for the quarter increased by 58% to 392 MSEK and adjusted EBIT increased by 73% to 117 MSEK. We have a continued very strong momentum with great sales growth, record high operating profit, improved adjusted operating margin, and increased average order value. This despite the continued pandemic related challenges. I can only be proud, and when we summarize the first six months, I notice that RevolutionRace delivered above expectations on all points. The company is better positioned than ever to continue capturing market shares and we are developing well in relation to the long-term financial targets.
RevolutionRace has built a strong brand that engages customers with an active lifestyle all over the world and we continue to exceed customer expectations with high quality products at reasonable prices. Our scalable business model, with direct sales to the end consumer, enables us not only to launch our products faster, but also at a lower cost than our competitors. The competitive price for the end consumer is one of several reasons to choose RevolutionRace, but above all else the consumers value the first-class design of our multi-functional clothes. In addition, we have built a committed community through unique communications that spotlight the content on our social and digital platforms. RevolutionRace's internal know-how is at the absolute cutting edge when it comes to generating informative, entertaining content, and mastering the everchanging digital landscape. Knowledge that is proven quarter by quarter.
First half-year – above the expectations
During the first six months we have substantially improved relevant KPIs. Net sales increased by 70%, gross profit by 72%, operating profit by 92% and average net order value by 3%. The adjusted EBIT margin increased by 2.5 percentage points to 28.6%. Also, the gross margin increased by 0.5 percentage points to 71.9%, despite disruptions in supply and logistics chain with increased freight prices as a consequence.
A continued very strong demand for the company´s multifunctional products, in established as well as in new markets, is the basis for a
fantastic first half-year which has exceeded our expectations.
Q2 – individually the strongest quarter so far
Net sales in the second quarter increased by 58% to SEK 392 million. Operating profit amounted to SEK 117 million and passed for the first time the milestone of hundred million in an individual quarter. Also, the adjusted EBIT margin was improved with 1.9 percentage points to 28.9% as a result of successful optimization of marketing campaigns, good operational efficiency, and cost control.
The substantial growth of 58% in Q2 follows a good sales development in general. During the quarter we also experienced a favourable trend in sales through Amazon and, in January, we relaunched a
limited product range on Amazon UK, a sales channel that previously was paused because of Brexit. The strategic choice of sales channel in the UK also brings an increased average net order value.
Given the positive development on Amazon in the quarter, we believe it will be possible to continue growing profitably on the platform.
Strong sales development in all regions
The sales in region DACH, including Germany, Austria and, since early in the quarter, also Switzerland, accounted for about half of our sales with growth of 98%. The whole region continues to develop very strongly with Germany as the engine. The launch in Switzerland exceeded expectations and has progressed to become one of RevolutionRace's strongest launches to date. The region has a somewhat higher price level than the average, contributing to the company's profitability trend. October's launch of the local online store in Switzerland means that RevolutionRace is now represented through local online shops in 17 markets, with sales in more than 35 countries in total.
The Nordic region accounted for slightly more than 30% of total sales and continues to grow at a double-digit rate, although at a slower pace than previously, which is partly a natural trend given that the Nordic region is the company's most mature market. It is worth noting that the region's growth rate at the start of the third quarter was higher than in the second quarter. The return to higher levels is in line with our long-term expectations for the region.
The Rest of the World region is growing as a share of total net sales and accounted for almost 20% of net sales in the second quarter, with a very good growth of 84%. The launch of our own Brand Store on Amazon in the US continues to develop well and is progressing as planned. The region includes several other markets that are relatively new for RevolutionRace and many of these are showing good development and are starting to make a meaningful contribution to total net sales.
Operational efficiency
In recent years, RevolutionRace has faced several challenges, including Brexit and the ongoing pandemic. The repercussions on the global supply and logistics chains remain complicated, with both long lead times and more expensive transports. RevolutionRace is also affected, and we believe the current situation will persist, at least during the third quarter of the company's financial year. If there is one thing of which I am particularly proud as CEO, it is how our organisation tackles the prevailing circumstances and adapts to them. Through hard work and timely efforts, the process of building up inventories continues to progress at our two warehousing and logistics centres. When issuing this report, we have good availability of the products in the online stores, with only individual more seasonal products being sold out. Despite these challenges, we improved both our operating profit and margin for the quarter by means of strong sales and good cost control in general.
Expansion through new product categories
We had the great pleasure, during the quarter, of introducing a completely new product category – shoes, which were an immediate success with the first delivery being sold out within two days. The interest and response from our customers have been tremendous with positive product reviews, bolstering our resolve to continue the investment. More shoes, in terms of both volume and models, will be available for sale as of the third quarter.
Growing through new product categories is part of RevolutionRace's overall growth strategy and, halfway through the third quarter, we will be launching another long-awaited product category – bags. The launch will progress in accordance with a previously proven model with lower initial volumes, to then be scaled up if the reception and reviews are favourable. Of course, the same demands apply for the category of bags as for all our products – multi-functionality at unmatched value.
Outleisure – a segment with several competitive advantages
RevolutionRace operates in the outleisure clothing segment – a combination of outdoor clothing and sports-inspired clothing. In 2020, the global market was valued at EUR 86.4 billion according to Euromonitor International. The Outleisure segment has several favourable attributes that make it attractive for direct online sales. In part, outdoor clothing is characterised by lower fashion risk, with many customer types being able to use the products, regardless of gender and age. Seasonal variations are also limited as garments are primarily used for a particular purpose, rather than usage being determined by the time of year in which an activity takes place. Combined with our full control of the brand, this entails lower risk in our business compared with many of our competitors, as we can both stock products for longer periods and adapt them to our customers' needs and wishes.
A Responsible Race
RevolutionRace's sustainability efforts are continuing, and we have formulated a clear sustainability strategy – "A Responsible Race". In October, we published our first formal sustainability report, which is available on our website. A key part of this is our focus on durable, high-quality products that last a long time and that can be used on a variety of occasions. Our business model also allows us to safeguard production entirely in line with demand, resulting in a uniquely low level of overproduction for the industry – benefiting both
the environment and our own profitability.
Strengthened prospects
RevolutionRace is well-positioned to continue capturing market shares and we are developing well in relation to the long-term financial targets for 2023/24, with sales of at least SEK 2 billion and an EBIT margin of at least 25 percent. Despite continued challenges related to the pandemic, we have emerged stronger from the second quarter and are seeing continued strong growth in net sales at the beginning of the third quarter, which seasonally is normally weaker than the second quarter.
In conclusion, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our employees, customers, partners, and shareholders, who all contribute to our success. Together, we are continuing our journey towards becoming the world's most recommended brand!
Pernilla Nyrensten, CEO and co-founder of RevolutionRace
Financial development
Second quarter (Oct-Dec 2021)
Operating income
Net sales for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 391.7 (248.3) million, an increase by 58 (59 in local currency) percent. Total revenues for the period amounted to SEK 406.7 (251.6) million, the difference between net sales and operating income is attributable to exchange gains.
The growth in all regions is attributable to continued good demand for the company's multifunctional products, in established as well as in new markets, together with a strengthened inventory and a successful optimization of marketing campaigns.
Graph: Regions share of net sales in the second quarter
Net sales in the Nordic region increased by 13 percent to SEK 124.5 (110.7) million, in the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) by 98 percent to SEK 191.9 (96.7) million and in the rest of the world by 84 percent to SEK 75.3 (40.9) million. The strong growth in the DACH region is driven by a very good development in the company's largest market, Germany.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased by 57 percent to SEK 280.3 (178.4) million, giving a decrease in gross margin of 0.3 percentage points to 71.6 (71.9) percent. The gross margin is positively affected by a favourable market mix and negatively by a larger share of sales with price reductions, compared to previous year. During the remaining part of 2021/22, the company is expected to be affected by high sea freight prices and disruptions in the flow, and the use of alternative modes of transport is expected to continue.
Operating profit (EBIT)
Operating profit (EBIT) increased by 76 percent to SEK 117.5 (66.8) million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 28.9 (26.6) percent. The improvement in operating profit is mainly explained by continued high sales growth combined with lower expenses as a share of sales. Goods for resale increased to SEK -114.4 (-69.9) million driven by increased net sales. Personnel expenses amounted to SEK -19.0 (-11.1) million during the quarter.
Earnings and earnings per share for the period
Profit before tax amounted to SEK 116.6 (64.8) million. Profit for the period was SEK 92.3 (50.7) million. Basic earnings per share amounted to SEK 0.82 (0.47) and after dilution SEK 0.82 (0.46) SEK. Growth in earnings per share was 74 percent before dilution and 78 percent after dilution.
Cash flow
Cash flow from operating activities decreased and amounted to SEK 34.4 (61.7) million. The decrease is mainly attributable to an increase in inventories, which is according to plan. Cash flow from investment activities amounted to SEK -0.7 (-1.4) million. Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -72.6 (-108.9) million, whereof SEK -72.3 (- 110.0) million is attributable to dividend paid. Cash flow for the period amounted to SEK -38.9 (-48.5) million.
Financial position
Net debt amounted to SEK -8.1 (109.1) million, mainly driven by cash-flow from operating activities.
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 242.8 (127.1) million.
The interest-bearing debt of SEK 234.7 (236.2) consist of liabilities to credit institutions in the form of a bank loan of SEK 228.7 (230.0) million and lease liabilities of SEK 6.0 (6.2). During the latter part of the fourth quarter the terms of the bank loan were renegotiated.
Net working capital
Net working capital amounted to SEK 57.6 (-68.2) million. The change is mainly attributable to buildup of inventory.
Investments
Investments affecting cash flow amounted to SEK 0.7 (1.4) million during the period. Investments in intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 0.5 (1.3) million and are mainly attributable to activation of expenditures related to software development. Investments in property, plant and equipment amounted to SEK 0.1 (0.1) million.
Personnel
The number of employees at the end of the period was 104 (61). The average number of employees during the period was 103 (58). The increase in the number of employees is explained by the company's continued growth.
Six months (Jul-Dec 2021)
Operating income
Net sales for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 254.2 (130.5) million, an increase of 95 (98 in local currency) percent. Total revenues for the period amounted to SEK 259.5 (130.5) million, the difference between net sales and operating income is attributable to exchange gains. The increase in net sales is attributable to good demand for the company's multifunctional clothing as a result of successful optimization of marketing campaigns in different channels and to different target groups as well as a broadening of the product range, which has driven strong growth in all regions.
Net sales in the Nordic region increased by 53 percent to SEK 115.1 (75.3) million, in the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) by 151 percent to SEK 104.9 (41.7) million and in the rest of the world by 155 percent to SEK 34.2 (13.5) million. The strong growth in the DACH region is driven by a very good development in the company's largest market, Germany.

Risks and uncertainties
A full description of the risks and uncertainties associated with RevolutionRace can be found in the annual report published on 13 October 2021.
RevolutionRace is an international company and its operations as such can be affected by several risk factors in the form of both operational and financial risks. The risks related to the industry and the company include, but are not limited to, trends linked to people's interest in nature as well as increased competition. An economic downturn or change in consumer preferences could have a negative impact on the Group's net sales and profitability.
RevolutionRace is further exposed to external factors that the company cannot influence. For example, it is difficult to assess future effects of the spread of COVID-19, even though demand for the company's products has been strong so far during the pandemic.
Since RevolutionRace operates globally, the company is exposed to changes in exchange rates, which may have a negative impact on the company's revenues as they are reported in SEK but since a large proportion of net sales originate from other currencies. In addition, the company's products are produced in Asia, which
entails a currency risk also on the cost side. The company works actively to reduce currency risks by futuresproofing the Swedish krona against mainly EUR and USD.
