TCM Group Management’s review

Interim report Q1 2020 (January 1 - March 31)

(All figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period in 2019)

Organic growth of 1.8% in Q1 2020, in line with expectations.

CEO Torben Paulin:

“In Q1 2020, revenue grew organically by 1.8%, in line with expectations. Q1 2020 compares to an exceptionally strong Q1 LY with 17% revenue growth. The growth was driven by the B2C market through branded stores and non-branded DIY stores in both Denmark and Norway.

The outbreak of Covid-19 and the authorities’ measures to reduce the spread of the virus has had limited impact on the Q1 results. Our key priorities are to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers and business partners, and we are following the recommendations and instructions from the government and have taken the necessary safety precautions. I am very proud of our employees and their exemplary approach and the flexibility they have shown in this extraordinary situation.

In late March, we suspended the financial outlook for 2020 as a consequence of Covid-19 outbreak. As an order producing company our order pipeline provides comforting visibility for Q2 2020. Due to continued uncertainties regarding the medium to long term impact, we are unable to accurately assess the magnitude of this impact. We will provide guidance once we have more visibility. Our setup is flexible, which allows us to adjust our production and cost base to the demand situation and thereby safeguarding long-term profitability.”

TCM Group

Business review

In Q1 2020, the Covid-19 virus outbreak turned into a global pandemic. It is still too early to conclude on the future impact on the market and for TCM Group from the Covid-19 situation. Traffic to the branded stores (Svane and Tvis) has declined, while traffic on the brands' web sites had an increasing trend. Customers are booking meetings in the stores both physical meetings and to a greater extent online meetings.

In Q1, we have experienced no supply chain constraints related to suppliers. To protect the health and safety of our employees, customers and business partners, we have taken the necessary safety precautions. Those of our employees who have the possibility to work remote have been doing so since mid-March. At the production facilities where personnel is needed on-site, we have further strengthened the hygiene measures and routines, which impact the efficiency in the production.

Revenue in Q1 2020 increased by 1.8% to DKK 254.2 million (DKK 249.7 million). The relatively low growth in Q1 2020 should be seen in the light that the quarter compares to an exceptionally strong Q1 LY that grew 17% compared to the year before.

TCM Group’s primary market is Denmark which contributed with 90% of Group revenue in Q1 2020. Revenue in Denmark was DKK 229.0 million (DKK 225.6 million), an increase of 1.5%. In Q1 2020, growth in Denmark was driven by growth within the B2C market both through branded stores and non-branded DIY stores. The market development for kitchens and related products in Denmark in Q1 2020 compared to same quarter 2019 is estimated to have been relatively flat, in line with expectations as expressed in the 2019 annual report.

Revenue in other countries was up 4.7% to DKK 25.2 million (DKK 24.1 million). The increase was primarily due to an increase in sales to the Norwegian market through branded stores.

At the end of Q1 2020, the total number of Svane and Tvis branded stores was 68 (66). In March 2020, a new Svane Køkkenet store opened in Ålesund, Norway, and we have signed an agreement with a new dealer to open a Svane Køkkenet store in Kristiansand, Norway. The store is expected to open during Q2 2020. In Q1 2020, a Tvis Køkkener store in Roskilde was converted to a Nettoline store. Furthermore, we have signed an agreement with a new dealer to open a Tvis Køkkener store in Vejle, and the store is expected to open during Q2 2020. In Denmark, Nettoline has converted most of its dealers into the Nettoline store concept, and therefore we now consider these stores to be branded in line with the Svane and Tvis branded stores. At the end of Q1 2020, Nettoline had 20 branded stores in Denmark.

Total number of employees at the end of Q1 2020 was 469 (468) and was on par with last year. In March 2020, we adjusted workforce as a response to the Covid-19 situation with the termination of 10 employees.

Other events in Q1 2020

TCM Group CEO Ole Lund Andersen decided to step down as CEO to focus on board assignments. Torben Paulin was appointed as new CEO, and took over on 1 March, 2020. Torben Paulin came from a position as CEO/chairman

TCM Group

of lighting company Frandsen Group. Previously, Torben Paulin was CEO of tyre wholesale and retail company Nordisk Dæk Import and CEO of furniture group BoConcept.

The Board of Directors of TCM Group decided to postpone the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 31 March 2020 as a consequence of the Covid-19 situation and the Danish government's and authorities' general measures to reduce the spread of the virus. A rescheduled Annual General Meeting has not yet been determined, but a notice will be announced in due course and once the government's restrictions and recommendations allow for it.

Events after the reporting period

In Q2, the impact on our supply chain from the Covid-19 outbreak is still limited. The order pipeline provides comforting visibility for Q2, however it is still too early to conclude on the possible negative impact on the order intake on the medium to long term.

Financial outlook

Although TCM Group's order pipeline provides comforting visibility for Q2 2020, it is still too early to estimate the negative impact on the market. Due to continued uncertainties regarding the medium to long term impact of the virus outbreak, we are unable to accurately assess the magnitude of this impact. We will provide guidance once we have more visibility, and it is expected that a new, revised financial outlook for 2020 will be included in the interim report for Q2 2020 due for publication on 18 August 2020.

Forward looking statements

This interim report contains statements relating to the future, including statements regarding TCM Group's future operating results, financial position, cash flows, business strategy and plans for the future. The statements are based on management's reasonable expectations and forecasts at the time of the disclosure of the report. Any such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and a number of different factors, many of which are beyond TCM Group's control, could mean that actual performance and actual results will differ significantly from the expectations expressed in this interim report. Without being exhaustive, such factors include general economic and commercial factors, including market and competitive matters, supplier issues and financial issues.

Significant risks in the Group

TCM Group is exposed to strategic, operating and financial risks, which are described in the management review and note 2 of the 2019 Annual Report prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The Covid-19 situation and the possible risk of this leading to a macro economic recession is a significant risk to impact TCM Group's financial results.

Financial review

Revenue

In Q1 2020 revenue grew by 1.8% to DKK 254.2 million (DKK 249.7 million).

Revenue in Denmark in Q1 2020 was up 1.5% to DKK 229.0 million (DKK 225.6 million) driven by growth within the B2C market both through branded stores and non-branded DIY stores. Revenue in other countries in Q1 2020 was up 4.7% to DKK 25.2 million (DKK 24.1 million). Sales to the Norwegian market through branded stores grew by 13.7%.

Gross profit

Gross profit in Q1 2020 was DKK 65.3 million (DKK 63.4 million), corresponding to a gross margin of 25.7% (25.4%), which is slightly higher than last year. The higher gross margin reflects a sales mix with a higher growth rate within the B2C market in both the branded stores and non-branded DIY stores, offsetting a marginal negative impact from the Covid-19 safety precaution measures introduced.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses in Q1 2020 were DKK 35.6 million (DKK 32.4 million). Operating expenses represented 14.0% of revenue in Q1 2020, which was an increase of 1.0%-point compared to Q1 2020. The increase of DKK 3.2 million was primarily due to an increased marketing spend and provisions related to restructuring costs including termination of 10 employees as a result of the Covid-19 situation.

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. No non-recurring items were recognized in Q1 2020 and Q1 2019.

EBITDA

EBITDA in Q1 2020 was DKK 35.0 million (DKK 36.0 million), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 13.8% (14.4%). The decrease in EBITDA was primarily due to provisions for restructuring costs related to the termination of 10 employees as a result of the Covid-19 situation.

EBIT

EBIT in Q1 2020 decreased to DKK 29.7 million (DKK 31.0 million). The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in EBITDA. Depreciations and amortizations increased by DKK 0.3 million compared to Q1 2019.

Net profit

Net profit in Q1 2020 decreased to DKK 22.6 million (DKK 23.4 million). The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in EBIT. Change in financial income and expenses had a positive impact on net profit of DKK 0.2 million, primarily due to improved interest rate terms and lower debt.

TCM Group

Free cash flow and cash conversion

Free cash flow in Q1 2020 was DKK -22.4 million (DKK 2.3 million). The decrease in cash flow in Q1 2020 compared to Q1 2019 was primarily due to change in net working capital of DKK -47.5 million (DKK -26.4 million). The change in net working capital in Q1 2020 should be seen in connection with the opening balance being an all-time record. Cash conversion in Q1 2020 was 87.3% (94.3%). The decrease was driven by the change in net working capital.

Net working capital

Net working capital at the end of Q1 2020 was DKK -61.3 million (DKK -67.9 million). NWC ratio at the end of Q1 2020 was -6.1% (-7.3%).

End of Q1
DKK million 2020 2019
Inventories 45.0 37.8
Trade and other receivables 69.6 85.3
Trade and other payables (176.0) (190.9)
Net working capital (61.3) (67.9)
NWC ratio (6.1%) (7.3%)

Inventories increased by DKK 7.3 million, which was primarily due to building up buffer stock to ensure high delivery assurance with regards to the Covid-19 situation. Trade and other receivables decreased by DKK 15.7 million primarily due to a lower number of outstanding debtor days at the end of Q1 compared to last year. Other receivables as of 31 March 2020 presented above is excluding the value of DKK 5.8 million, which relates to subleases due to the implementation of IFRS 16. This is not included in the net working capital. The decrease in trade and other payables of DKK 14.9 million was primarily due to timing differences.

Net interest-bearing debt

Net interest-bearing debt amounted to DKK 76.7 million at the end of Q1 2020 (DKK 139.3 million). Net interest-bearing debt increased by DKK 25.0 million in Q1 2020 primarily due to change in net working capital off-set by operating profit for the period. The implementation of IFRS 16 resulted in an increase in net interest-bearing debt of DKK 37.9 million as per end of Q1 2020 compared to DKK 46.6 million last year. Leverage ratio measured as net interest bearing debt excluding tax liabilities divided by adjusted EBITDA LTM end of Q1 2020 was 0.44 (0.85).

Equity

Equity at the end of Q1 2020 amounted to DKK 495.3 million (DKK 432.3 million). The equity increased by DKK 22.6 million in Q1 2020.

The solvency ratio was 54.1% at the end of Q1 2020 (47.1%). The solvency ratio is negatively affected by the implementation of IFRS 16 by 2.4%-points (2.6%-points).

Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements

4. Financial instruments – fair value

Interest rate swaps have expired in Q1 2019 and therefore have a value of DKK 0.0 million (DKK 0.0 million). Interest rate swaps 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.

5. Related party transactions

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

6. Events after the balance sheet date

In Q2, the impact on our supply chain from the Covid-19 outbreak is still limited. The order pipeline provides comforting visibility for Q2, however it is still too early to conclude on the possible negative impact on the order intake on the medium to long term.
