TCM Group

Business review

Net sales in Q4 2017 rose 32.5% to DKK 215.0 million (DKK 162.3 million), positively impacted by the acquisition of Nettoline per 1 January. Organic growth was 17.1% in the quarter.

TCM Group’s primary market is Denmark. Net sales in Denmark were DKK 190.5 million (DKK 128.7 million), with an organic growth of 17.1%. The total market for kitchen and related products in Denmark developed positively during Q4 2017 compared to same period 2016. We estimate a market increase of 5-7%.

Net sales in Other countries were DKK 24.6 million (DKK 11.8 million), up 108.4% primarily due to the acquisition of Nettoline. Organic growth was 17.2%.

At the end of Q4 2017, the total number of Svane and Tvis branded stores was 60 (62).

Total number of employees at the end of Q4 2017 was 442 (333). The increase in number of employees was primarily due to the acquisition of Nettoline, which had 51 employees at the acquisition date, and increased manning in production to increase capacity to support the revenue growth.

Other events in Q4 2017

The integration of Nettoline including optimization of the supply chain setup led to a merger of Nettoline A/S and Concepta Skabe A/S and the closure of the the Concepta production site in Horsens on 1 October 2017.

On 2 October 2017, CFO Mogens Elbrønd Pedersen and COO Karsten Rydder Pedersen joined the executive management.

On 3 October 2017, the production site in Horsens was sold with effect from 15 January 2018. The sale of the site impacted EBIT with a non-recurring loss of DKK 7 million, which was recognized in Q3 under non-recurring items.

On 24 November 2017, TCM Group A/S finalized the Initial Public Offering with the first day of trading on Nasdaq Copenhagen. In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the share option program was net cash settled impacting Net Interest Bearing Debt with DKK 86 million.

Events after the reporting period

As noted above, the sale of the site in Horsens was effectuated on 15 January 2018. The sale of the site will reduce Net Interest Bearing Debt with DKK 17 million in 2018.

Apart from the events recognized or disclosed in the consolidated interim financial statements, no other events have occurred after the reporting period of importance to the consolidated interim financial statements.

TCM Group

Financial review

The Group

TCM Group was founded as of 9 December 2015 under the name Rotavonni Holding ApS with no business activity until the acquisition of TCM Group A/S as of 1 March 2016. Subsequently, the company changed its name to TCM Group A/S following a merger of the former TCM Group A/S and its subsidiary TMK A/S with TMK A/S as the continuing company.

Consequently, the income statement and cash flow statement for 2016 cover the financial year 2016 (9 December 2015 – 31 December 2016), but only include 10 months of business activity following the acquisition.

Net sales

Net sales in Q4 2017 were up 32.5% to DKK 215.0 million (DKK 162.3 million), positively impacted by the acquisition of Nettoline per 1 January 2017.

Sales increased organically by 17.1%. Nettoline generated sales of DKK 24.9 million in the fourth quarter.

Sales to Denmark in Q4 2017 were up 26.5% to DKK 190.5 million (DKK 150.5 million) and sales to other countries in Q4 2017 were up 108.4% to DKK 24.6 million (DKK 11.8 million).

Sales for the financial year 2017 were up 36.3% to DKK 817.3 million (508.5 million, DKK 599.7 million pro forma). Sales increased organically by 18.3%. Nettoline generated sales of DKK 107.9 million in the financial year 2017.

Gross profit

Gross profit in Q4 2017 was DKK 67.3 million (DKK 51.2 million), corresponding to a gross margin of 31.3% (31.5%). The gross margin was negatively affected by the higher growth within the B2B market, Nettoline having a lower gross margin historically and the divestment of the Svane store in Lyngby in Q2 2017. This was offset partly by a favorable impact from synergies related to the integration of Nettoline.

Gross profit in 2017 was DKK 231.1 million (DKK 155.0 million, DKK 179.0 million pro forma), corresponding to a gross margin of 28.3% (30.5%, 29.9% pro forma).

Operating expenses

Operating expenses in Q4 2017 were DKK 29.9 million (DKK 25.1 million). The increase in operating expenses of DKK 4.9 million were primarily due to the acquisition of Nettoline. Operating expenses represented 13.9% of revenue in Q4 2017 (15.4%) due to a positive scale effect.

Operating expenses in 2017 were DKK 116.0 million (DKK 82.1 million, DKK 100.4 million pro forma). The increase in operating expenses of DKK 15.6 million was primarily due to the acquisition of Nettoline. Operating expenses represented 14.2% of revenue in 2017 (16.1%, 16.7% pro forma).

TCM Group A/S, Skautrupvej 16, DK-7500 Holstebro, Company reg. (CVR) no: 37291269


TCM Group

Adjusted EBITA

Adjusted EBITA in Q4 2017 was DKK 39.3 million (DKK 28.0 million), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 18.3% (17.3%). The adjusted EBITA was positively affected by a lower operating expense ratio offset by the lower gross margin. The divestment of the Svane store in Lyngby had no significant impact on adjusted EBITA.

Adjusted EBITA in 2017 was DKK 122.8 million (DKK 79.2 million, DKK 86.2 million pro forma), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 15.0% (15.6%, 14.4% pro forma).

Non-recurring items

TCM Group presents non-recurring items separately to ensure comparability. Non-recurring items consist of income and expenses that are special and of a non-recurring nature. In 2016 and 2017, non-recurring items included amortization of order backlog and transaction costs related to business combinations, costs related to the Initial Public Offering (IPO) of the company, costs related to the integration of Nettoline (including the merger of two production sites) and impairment of assets held for sale related to the shutdown of a production site, and are specified below:

¹ The 12 months period in 2016 covers the period 9 December 2015 to 31 December 2016.

EBIT

EBIT in Q4 2017 decreased to DKK 24.9 million (DKK 25.8 million). The decrease was primarily due to a high level of non-recurring items off-setting the profit impact from the increase in revenue.

EBIT for the financial year 2017 increased to DKK 80.9 million (DKK 54.2 million, DKK 60.0 million pro forma). The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue and the acquisition of Nettoline off-set by an increase in non-recurring costs.

TCM Group

Net profit

Net profit in Q4 2017 decreased to DKK 12.3 million (DKK 17.7 million). The decrease was primarily due to an increase in EBIT and by increase in financial expenses due to the reversal of capitalized loan cost related to former credit facility agreement.

Net profit for the financial year 2017 increased to DKK 48.0 million (DKK 28.5 million, DKK 31.7 million pro forma). The increase was primarily due to an increase in EBIT off-set by increase in financial expenses due to the amortization of capitalized loan cost related to former credit facility agreement.

Free cash flow excl. acquisitions of operation and cash conversion

Free cash flow excl. acquisitions in Q4 2017 was DKK 31.4 million (DKK 45.6 million). The decrease in cash flow in Q4 2017 was primarily due to higher tax payments of DKK 27.0 million (DKK 12.0 million). Cash conversion in Q4 2017 was 110.0%.

Free cash flow excl. acquisitions for 2017 was DKK 99.8 million (DKK 79.8 million, DKK 75.8 million pro forma). The increase in cash flow for 2017 was primarily due to higher operating profit.

Net working capital

Net working capital at the end of Q4 2017 was DKK -80.8 million (DKK -59.3 million). NWC ratio at the end of Q4 2017 was -9.9% and on par with last year despite the acquisition of Nettoline, which had a NWC ratio of 5% when acquired by TCM Group.

Net working capital (80.8) (59.3)
NWC ratio (9.9)% (9.9)%

The increase in inventory of DKK 5.4 million was primarily due to the acquisition of Nettoline.

The increase in trade and other receivables of DKK 12.4 million was primarily due to the organic revenue growth and the acquisition of Nettoline.

The increase in trade and other payables of DKK 39.3 million was primarily due to the acquisition of Nettoline, the higher activity level as well as improved payment terms with suppliers.

TCM Group

Net interest-bearing debt

Net interest-bearing debt amounted to DKK 225.8 million at the end of Q4 2017 (DKK 170.6 million).

The leverage ratio measured as net interest bearing debt excluding tax liabilities divided with adjusted EBITDA LTM end of Q4 2017 was 1.72. TCM Group targets a leverage ratio of maximum 2.25.

DKK m
Purchase consideration paid in cash 52.9
Cash and cash equivalents in acquired subsidiaries 0.1
Reduction in the Group’s cash and cash equivalents in conjunction with acquisition 52.8

Fair value of trade receivable amounts to DKK 3.9 million. The gross contractual receivables amount to DKK 4.1 million of which DKK 0.2 million is considered uncollectible.

6. Financial instruments – fair value

Interest rate swaps at a value of DKK (0.6) million (DKK (0.6) million) are valued using an income approach (discounted cash flow). Expected future cash flows are based on relevant observable swap rates and discounted using a discount rate that reflects the credit risk of the relevant counterparties (level 2).

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost is approximately equal to carrying amount, due to the short maturity of financial assets and the floating rate of the financial liabilities.

7. Related party transactions

During Q4 2017, the Group has paid advisory fee and travel expenses totalling DKK 0.0 million (DKK 0.0 million) to IK Investment Partners Ltd, which is associated to the parent company until the listing in November 2017, and DKK 0.1 million (DKK 5.9 million) for the first nine months of 2017.

Except for remuneration to senior executives and Board of Directors, there were no other transactions with related parties.

8. Events after the reporting period

On 15 January 2018, the sale of the site in Horsens was effectuated. The sale of the site will have a positive impact on Net Interest Bearing Debt of DKK 17 million in 2018.

Apart from the events recognized or disclosed in the consolidated interim financial statements, no other events have occurred after the reporting period of importance to the consolidated interim financial statements.
