INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT

The core sales channels for STRAX have been in the telecom operator sector. Recently, however, STRAX has successfully opened new consumer electronics and mass merchant channels across the world, with a special focus on the US, MEA and Japan, while building on its strong presence across Europe. Mobile accessories are being offered in an ever-expanding channel landscape as they evolve into everyday essentials and lifestyle products; this crucial development points to consumers reaching for accessories to enhance their devices, with ABI Research forecasting the 2017-2021 CAGR rate for global smartphone accessory sales at 5.1%.

This channel development has strengthened STRAX's competitive advantages, including its global coverage, lean organisation, portfolio of proprietary brands and modular service platform, enabling STRAX to be fast and nimble compared to the larger global distributors who offer a logistics-services-centric model. Furthermore, STRAX is faster in spotting global trends compared to local distributors, while also having scale advantage.

STRAX has noticed a significant manufacturer, channel and consumer appetite for connected devices. Within this category, STRAX is developing a focused approach regarding which products to offer, with the key categories being: wearables - smart watches and tracking devices, home security - wireless video door bells, and entertainment - VR headsets, These categories have exceptionally strong CAGR growth forecasts. In conclusion, STRAX has very optimistic expectations for growth in this category.

COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

"The year got off to a mixed start amid slowdown in retail and smartphone sales in most global markets and our focus has been on growing our presence in North America and the Middle East, whilst retaining market share in Western Europe. Gear4 and Urbanista continue to perform well across all our markets and are contributing to both growth and profitability. The expanded presence in the US offers opportunities in the world's biggest market as all of our proprietary and licensed brands resonate well with US consumers.

Solid growth in North America and the Middle East

Trailing 12 months' revenues Q1 2017 amounted to MEUR 92.0 (83.4). EBITDA on a trailing 12 month basis amounted to MEUR 8.3 (3.9). TTM revenue growth stands at 10.3%, whilst TTM EBITDA growth has grown by a stellar 113%. Growth is mainly driven by our expansion into North America 152% YoY growth and the Middle East 742% and increased share of proprietary brands contributes to higher share of profitability. At the same time, we were seeing relatively weak demand in our core European markets. We see good opportunities in most markets to continue driving organic growth for all of our proprietary and licensed brands.

We are excited about the expanded presence of Gear4, Urbanista and FLAVR in the US. The US launch together with our local partner, Tessco Technologies, is a major effort from their side. At the same time, our partnership with several retailers and distributors in the Middle East is progressing. We are furthermore hopeful to launch all brands in Japan in the second quarter. If we succeed, Japan could become one of our largest markets.

Strategic framework

We continue to execute and deliver towards our 2020 corporate objectives along the strategic framework developed in 2016 which evolves around five core strategies: active brand portfolio management, eCommerce, focused geographic expansion, acquisitions and operational excellence, all of which are aimed at driving growth, profitability, shareholder value.

Geographic and product category expansion

We have again set high goals for the year and I believe we are in a good position to deliver. We have good momentum in North America and the Middle East and demand has picked up in our European markets. We have also made important steps into the connected devices category with several of our key customers. I look forward to continuing to deliver in 2017 and to create further value".

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE CEO OF STRAX AB HEREBY SUMMIT THE Q1 INTERIM REPORT FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY 1 – MARCH 31, 2017

All amounts are provided in EUR thousands unless otherwise stated. Figures in parentheses refer to the corresponding period the previous financial year. Information provided refers to the group and the parent company unless otherwise stated.

All our proprietary brands developed well during the period, Gear4 maintained the number one brand position in protective cases in the UK and gained market share in the US.

SEASONAL AND PHONE LAUNCH FLUCTUATIONS

STRAX operations have defined fluctuations between seasons, whereby the strongest period is September-November. This means the greater part of the Strax result is generated during the second half of the year provided the trends from the last five years continue. Timing of hero smartphone launches, e.g. iPhone and Samsung Galaxy, also impacts STRAX' results, with these being hard to predict and sometimes challenging to manage.

During the period the company has worked on refinancing and increasing operational credit facilities, coming into effect in the beginning of 2017.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

STRAX has experienced positive development in both sales and profit in recent years. This development is expected to continue. Currently the industry is undergoing consolidation and STRAX intends to play an active role in the ongoing consolidation process. We expect higher growth in 2017 compared to 2016, and STRAX scalable business model is expected to deliver a higher growth rate in EBITDA compared to growth in sales.

  • Reporting per business segment see page 8
  • For further information on accounting principles reference is made to the 2016 annual report.

NOTE 2 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

As of the financial year 2017 the currency of the Parent Company is Euro (EUR), which is also the reporting currency of the parent company and the Group.

STRAX prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and with the restrictions which apply due to the Swedish national legislative when preparing the parent company's financial statements.

The Interim report for the group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Reporting" and applicable sections of the Annual Accounts Act.

The section of the report applicable to the parent company has been prepared in accordance with Annual Accounts Act, Chapter 9.

The Group has previously carried out investment activities and was an investment company as defined in IFRS 10, with the effect all shares in subsidiaries and associated companies were reported at fair value through profit or loss, the same principle applied for other investments. Due to the reverse acquisition the group's line of business is since the reverse acquisition in 2016 as an operational company meaning that participations in subsidiaries as well as affiliated companies are consolidated instead of recognised at fair value through profit or loss.

The same accounting principles are applied as in the annual report for 2016. Regarding the implementation of the new standards IFRS 9 Financial instruments, IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers, and IFRS 16 Leases no new information as compared to the information provided in the latest annual report has been developed.

Accounting reverse acquisition

In accordance with IFRS rules on reverse acquisition, the fair value of a hypothetical issue of Strax shares as payment for STRAX' reverse acquisition of Novestra, will correspond to the transferred consideration for this acquisition.

As the shares in Novestra are listed on a regulated market and the Strax shares are unlisted, the valuation of Novestra was used as the basis for valuing the hypothetical new share issue for the reverse acquisition. The value of the hypothetical share issue has been reduced by an estimated allocated market value for STRAX' hypothetical repurchase of Novestra's existing holding of STRAX shares. A preliminary purchase price allocation has been drawn up it was assumed that the fair value of Novestra's identifiable assets and liabilities equals the book equity in the Novestra group as at April 30, 2016 less the book value of Novestra's shares in STRAX. The difference between the transferred consideration and the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities has been recognized as goodwill. The purchase price allocation will be finally determined no more than one year after the acquisition date.

Shares and participations in subsidiaries and associated companies are in the parent company accounted for at acquisition cost with the fair value of the earlier holding in Strax at the time of acquisition comprised of fair value to the part to which it relates.

NOTE 3 FAIR VALUE: FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Since the group's interest-bearing liabilities consist of variable rate loans and the margin in the contracts are expected to be the same if the group sould raise equivalent loans at the reporting date, the fair value of the loans is expected to be in all material respects equal to their carrying amount. The groups other financial assets and liabilities mainly comprises of receivables which are current assets and current liabilities. As the duration of these are short-term, the carrying amount and fair value are in all material respects equal.
