TCM Group Management’s review

Interim report Q1 2022 (January 1 - March 31)

(All figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period in 2021)

7% underlying revenue growth and solid order intake. Earnings impacted by an unstable supply chain situation in Q1 2022.

CEO Torben Paulin:

"Reported revenue in Q1 was on par with a strong Q1 last year, where revenue grew organically 13% y-o-y. The reported revenue numbers consist of an underlying like-for-like growth of 7% in our core business excluding revenue from third party products. The low margin revenue from the sale of third party products, mainly white goods, declined, which led to a flat total revenue development. We continue to see encouraging growth rates in revenue outside Denmark, which was up 12% compared to Q1 last year.

The revenue growth in Q1 was primarily driven by sales price increases implemented in the quarter. Demand was solid in the quarter, but our ability to fully meet the demand was curtailed by continued supply chain challenges. A restricted flow of both raw materials and components limited our overall production capacity in the quarter.

The supply chain situation was almost back to a normal level by the end of the quarter. However, the unstable supply chain situation led to higher production costs and some loss of efficiency in the production processes throughout the quarter.

Gross margin in the quarter was negatively impacted by rising raw material prices causing a diluting effect on the margin. Furthermore, higher energy and transportation costs impacted earnings negatively. The negative effects were partly offset by the change in sales mix, mentioned above, with a lower share of revenue stemming from low margin third party products.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has impacted the overall supply of raw materials in the European market. For TCM Group the impact has primarily been felt through further pressure on raw material prices and higher energy and transportation costs.

During the first quarter of 2022 we have announced a further sale price increase in response to the increase in raw material prices and rising cost inflation, in particular higher energy costs. Due to the nature of our business the positive effect on margins from the price increases will materialise with some delay.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine, increased inflation, and higher interest rates mean more uncertainty as to future consumer demand. In the short term, however, the order pipeline is solid for the coming 3-6 months providing some visibility and assurance of the short term customer demand.

TCM Group

We are constantly monitoring the development in customer behaviour and demand, and we have prepared a number of initiatives which can swiftly be put into action to mitigate a slump in demand if necessary. It is worth noting that a very substantial part of our cost base consists of variable costs, and we therefore have a very flexible setup and can quickly adjust our cost base according to demand thereby protecting our margin and profitability.

We reiterate our financial outlook: a full year revenue guidance in the range DKK 1,150-1,225 million, corresponding to organic growth of 4-11%, and an adjusted EBIT in the range DKK 140-170 million."

Business review

In Q1 2022 revenue increased by 0.1% to DKK 281.4 million (DKK 281.1 million). The organic like-for-like growth excluding third party revenue (core business) was 7% in the quarter. The organic revenue growth was offset by a decline in revenue from third party products and the technical impact from the merge of the e-commerce activities in kitchn.dk and Celebert.

TCM Group’s primary market is Denmark which contributed with 90% of Group revenue in Q1 2022. Customer demand in the Danish kitchen market remained solid in the quarter. For TCM Group, revenue in Denmark was down 1.1% (organic like-for-like growth excluding third party revenue (core business) was +7%) driven by growth within our DIY segment (Nettoline and e-commerce) and within Svane Køkkenet.

Revenue outside Denmark increased by 12.4% compared to Q1 2021. The growth was driven by increased sales to the Norwegian market, both organic growth and growth from new stores.

Gross margin decreased from 23.5% in Q1 2021 to 21.3% in Q1 2022. The merge of the e-commerce activities in kitchn.dk and Celebert had a technical negative impact on gross margin of in total 1.0%-point in the quarter. Furthermore, the gross margin was negatively affected by increased energy and logistic costs, and a lower margin following the significantly increased raw material prices, which, despite being mitigated by price increases, had a diluting impact on gross margin in the quarter. This was partly offset by the positive impact from the sales mix with increased sales in the core business, while sales of third party products, with a structurally lower margin, fell.

At the end of Q1 2022, the total number of branded stores was 94 (91). In Q1 2022, a new Nettoline store opened in Næstved. Furthermore, new Svane Køkkenet stores will open during Q2 and Q3 in Fredrikstad, Arendal, and Oslo in Norway, and in addition a new store in Copenhagen. Furthermore, a new Tvis Køkken store is expected to open in Slagelse during Q3 2022.

In line with our ESG strategy TCM Group continuously work with improving our products and the impact they have on the indoor environment. To validate our products and their impact in on the indoor environment we use external certification bodies. In Q1 2022 TCM Group added 13 product lines to the portfolio of indoor climate certified products.

Wood is the primary material category of input to our production hence it is of utmost importance to us to only use wood from certified responsible sources. In addition to using a high level of recycled material. TCM Group have been partially FSC® certified since 2010, and during Q1 2022 we expanded our scope of certification to cover our entire product portfolio.

Total number of employees at the end of Q1 2022 was 496 (498).

Events after the reporting period

The annual general meeting was held on 5 April 2022. The annual general meeting approved the proposed dividend distribution of DKK 6 per share, in total DKK 54 million with no dividend distributed for TCM Group’s treasury shares. Furthermore, it was approved to authorize the Board of Directors to distribute an extraordinary dividend up to a maximum of DKK 75,000,000 in total in the calendar year 2022.

Jan Amtoft was appointed as new board member at the annual general meeting. Jan Amtoft is CIO in Rockwool A/S. He brings to the Board of Directors experience within digitalisation and automation in production. The Board of Directors hereafter consists of six independent board members, all elected by the annual general meeting.

It was approved to reduce the share capital of TCM Group A/S by DKK 85,770.6 from DKK 1,000,000 to DKK 914,229.4 by allocation of a special reserve. The capital reduction was carried out through annulment of the company’s holding of treasury shares. Following the capital reduction the company’s holding of treasury shares totals DKK 7,500.

Besides from the above, no events of importance to the consolidated interim financial statements have occurred after the reporting period.

Financial outlook

We reiterate our financial outlook: a full-year revenue for 2022 in the range of DKK 1,150-1,225 million and an adjusted EBIT outlook in the range of DKK 140-170 million.

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 2021 Annual Report prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has impacted the overall supply of raw materials in the European market. For TCM Group the impact has primarily been felt through the further pressure on raw material prices and higher energy and transportation costs. There is a possible risk of this leading to significant cost inflation and challenges with raw material availability, both of which can impact TCM Group’s financial results negatively.

Financial review

Revenue

In Q1 2022 revenue grew by 0.1% to DKK 281.4 million (DKK 281.1 million).

Revenue in Denmark in Q1 2022 was DKK 252.4 million (DKK 255.3 million) corresponding to a decrease of 1.1%. The organic like-for-like growth excluding third party revenue (core business) was 7% in the quarter, offset by lower revenue from third party products and the technical impact from the merge of the e-commerce activities in kitchn.dk and Celebert. Revenue in other countries in Q1 2022 was up 12.4% to DKK 29.0 million (DKK 25.8 million).

Gross profit

Gross profit in Q1 2022 was DKK 60.0 million (DKK 66.0 million), corresponding to a gross margin of 21.3% (23.5%). The merge of the e-commerce activities in kitchn.dk and Celebert had a technical negative impact on gross margin of 1.0%-point in the quarter. Furthermore, the gross margin was negatively affected by increased energy and logistic costs, and lower margin following the significantly increased raw material prices, which, despite being mitigated by price increases, had a diluting impact on gross margin in the quarter. This was partly offset by the positive impact from the sales mix with increased sales in the core business, while sales of third party products, with a structurally lower margin, fell.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses in Q1 2022 were DKK 33.9 million (DKK 33.1 million). Operating expenses represented 12.1% of revenue in Q1 2022 (11.8%). The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher sales and marketing expenses, partly off-set by a decline due to the merge of the e-commerce activities in kitchn.dk and Celebert.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA in Q1 2022 was DKK 30.3 million (DKK 37.6 million), corresponding to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.8% (13.4%).

Adjusted EBIT

Adjusted EBIT in Q1 2022 was DKK 26.0 million (DKK 33.0 million), corresponding to an adjusted EBIT margin of 9.3% (11.7%). The Celebert/kitchn.dk transaction in Q3 2021 has a negative impact on adjusted EBIT when compared to historic data, since the profit from the activities in kitchn.dk previously included in EBIT is now presented as profit in associated companies and thereby not included in EBIT. The full year technical impact from this is a lower single digit DKK million figure.

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 Q1 2022 non-recurring items included costs related to supply chain disruptions and Covid-19 precautions. These items are considered non-recurring by nature and material, and are presented as non-recurring items.

Total 5.4 1.3 (0.7)

EBIT

EBIT in Q1 2022 decreased to DKK 20.6 million (DKK 31.6 million). The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in EBITDA. Depreciations and amortizations in Q1 2022 were DKK 4.5 million (DKK 5.2 million). The decline was primarily driven by lower amortizations, because our franchise setup was fully amortized during Q1 2021.

Net profit

Net profit in Q1 2022 decreased to DKK 16.6 million (DKK 24.7 million). Financial income and expenses in Q1 2022 were DKK 0.4 million higher than in Q1 2021.

Free cash flow

Free cash flow in Q1 2022 was DKK -32.9 million (DKK -24.6 million). The cash flow in Q1 2022 was negatively impacted by lower operating profit compared to Q1 2021. Investments were DKK 7.4 million in Q1 2022 compared to DKK 8.1 million last year.

Net working capital

Net working capital at the end of Q1 2022 was DKK -37.6 million (DKK -68.9 million). NWC ratio at the end of Q1 2022 was $-3.4\%$ (-6.6%).

TCM Group

The increase in inventory of DKK 31.0 million was due to impact from increased raw material prices, and a decision to increase the stock of parts and raw materials to ensure a high delivery assurance.

Trade receivables and other receivables decreased by DKK 0.1 million. Other receivables as of 31 March 2022 is excluding the value of DKK 7.6 million, which relates to subleases due to the implementation of IFRS 16. This is not included in the net working capital.

The operating liabilities decreased by DKK 0.4 million. The development in operating liabilities was a mix of higher trade payables and significantly lower other payables. Other payables as of 31 March 2022 was compared to last year affected by the transfer of the holiday allowance to the government fund during Q3 2021, which had a negative impact when comparing to 31 March 2021 of DKK 19 million. Furthermore, the extended credit for VAT and payroll taxes provided in the government's stimulus package impacted the operating liabilities last year positively by c. DKK 5 million as of 31 March.

Net interest-bearing debt

Net interest-bearing debt amounted to DKK 277.8 million at the end of Q1 2022 (DKK -14.1 million). Net interest-bearing debt increased by DKK 78.4 million in Q1 2022. As of 1 January 2022 the expected useful life of IFRS 16 contracts were reassessed, which increased net interest-bearing debt by DKK 22.5 million. Leverage ratio, measured as net interest bearing debt excluding tax liabilities divided by adjusted EBITDA LTM, end of Q1 2022 was 1.89 (-0.09).

Equity

Equity at the end of Q1 2022 amounted to DKK 423.0 million (DKK 597.8 million). The equity increased by DKK 3.3 million in Q1 2022 due to net profit for the period off-set by the implementation of a share buy back program, of which DKK 14.4 million has been carried out during Q1 2022. As of 31 March 2021, the total share buy back program of DKK 150 million has been carried out.

The solvency ratio was $43.5\%$ at the end of Q1 2022 $(63.3\%)$.
