Improved seasonal execution and delivery

Oslo, 4 February 2021: In the fourth quarter 2020 XXL improved its seasonal execution and operational performance resulting in a growth of 11 per cent and strong gross margins. Norway is standing out with a growth of 20 per cent. Changing consumer behavior towards online platforms resulted in a growth of 57 per cent on e-commerce in the quarter. EBITDA ended at NOK 327 million (negative of NOK 209 million) with all segments posting a positive development.

XXL ended the year with solid balance sheet with total liquidity reserves of NOK 1 111 million (NOK 833 million) and a net interest bearing debt of NOK 71 million (NOK 1 224 million).

XXL works on several strategic initiatives to increase operational efficiency that over time should contribute to increasing market shares, strengthening the e-commerce channel, and stabilizing the gross margins from current levels.

Fourth quarter 2020 review

(Figures in brackets = restated comparative period previous year, unless otherwise specified)

XXL delivered a growth of 10.9 per cent for the fourth quarter 2020 driven by Norway and a strong growth in e-commerce. The COVID-19 situation affects the markets differently, with temporarily store closures in Austria, cancellation of "mellandagsrea" in Sweden and overall changed consumer behaviour towards the online channel. Consequently, total operating revenues for the Group in Q4 2020 amounted to NOK 2 572 million (NOK 2 319 million). The like for like growth equalled 9.1 per cent, once again driven by Norway. E-commerce for the Group is included in the like for like figure and operating revenues increased by 57.3 per cent to NOK 642 million in the quarter (NOK 408 million). E-commerce represented 25.0 per cent of total operating revenues in Q4 2020 compared to 17.6 per cent in Q4 2019.

XXL has launched a number of strategic initiatives to improve its operations short- and long-term. In the first half year XXL successfully improved its financial situation by strengthening its balance sheet and securing necessary long-term loan facilities. Focus during the summer has been on cash flow generation through topline improvements, capturing market shares and adapting to the strong demand in the market. During the second half year XXL has worked on further improving its operational efficiency and control, including seasonal execution and delivery. Significantly improved campaign execution lead to a sustainable strong gross margin for the Group of 40.4 per cent in the fourth quarter compared to 21.4 per cent in the same quarter last year. The significantly lower gross margin in Q4 last year was related to an extraordinary write down of the inventory with a net effect vs. LY of NOK 349 millions.

Operating expenses before depreciation as percentage of sales decreased to 27.7 per cent in the fourth quarter this year (30.4 per cent). The main driver is the positive like for like growth yielding scale in the operations. Increased HQ costs are related to the ongoing improvement program, restructuring and temporarily consultancy costs. XXL is working on several initiatives to improve operational efficiency that are expected to give gradually effects going forward. This includes an upgrade of existing stores, further improvement of the category offering, improved marketing

effectiveness, a modernized brand platform towards the consumers and a reduced cost base.

The Group EBITDA in the fourth quarter 2020 was NOK 327 million (negative of NOK 209 million), driven by the revenue growth and higher gross margins as described above.

Cash flow continued to be strong in the fourth quarter and cash provided by operating activities ended at NOK 1 653 million for 2020, an improvement of NOK 715 million compared to 2019. Inventory amounted to NOK 1 835 million (NOK 2 604 million) representing NOK 19.3 million per store (NOK 28.6 million), resulting in total liquidity reserves of NOK 1 111 million (NOK 833 million) and a net interest bearing debt of NOK 71 million (NOK 1 224 million).

Operating segments

(Figures in brackets = restated comparative period previous year, unless otherwise specified)

The Group's reporting structure comprises five operational segments based on XXL's operations in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Austria, in addition to the HQ and Logistics segment.

Norway

The Norwegian operations delivered total operating revenues of NOK 1 297 million in the fourth quarter 2020 compared to NOK 1 084 million in the same quarter last year, representing a growth of 19.6 per cent. The key driver was a positive like for like growth of 17.6 per cent explained by improved seasonal execution. According to market figures from SSB the sales of sporting goods in Norway increased by 10.0 per cent in the quarter. The corresponding growth for XXL was 19.6 per cent, hence continuing to capture market shares.

Gross margin increased from 24.4 per cent in Q4 2019 to 43.7 per cent in Q4 2020, explained by an extraordinary write down of inventory last year, but also improved price management and a more optimized campaign mix. XXL is systematically strengthening its campaign process by more analytical and fact based planning.

EBITDA increased to NOK 319 million (NOK 43 million). The main reason for the higher EBITDA was the positive like for like growth, providing scale in the operations, as well as higher gross margin as described, and the extraordinary write down of inventory last year. Operating expenses as percentage of sales decreased from 20.4 per cent last year to 19.1 per cent this year.

Sweden

The Swedish market continued to be volatile in Q4 2020 especially towards the end of the quarter with the ban on the important sales period "Mellandagsrea" and advising on not visiting physical stores. Total operating revenues for XXL in Sweden in Q4 2020 amounted to NOK 704 million (NOK 653 million) representing a negative growth of 2.4 per cent in local currency. The driver was a negative like for like growth of 3.8 percent in local currency, partly compensated by growth in new stores. According to market figures from SCB the sale of sporting goods in Sweden increased by 5.5 per cent in the quarter. The corresponding growth for XXL was negative of 2.4 per cent in local currency, hence losing market shares. The restrictions imposed by the Norwegian authorities related to the COVID-19 situation, including traveling to Sweden for Norwegian citizens, still has a dramatic impact on the three outlet stores in Sweden. These stores are close to the Norwegian border and are heavily reliant on customers from Norway and experienced a sales decline of almost 90 per cent. When excluding for the outlet stores the growth for XXL in the quarter was 2.2 per cent and with a like for like growth of 0.6 per cent, both in local currency.

Gross margin increased to 37.7 per cent (17.4 per cent) explained by an extraordinary write down of inventory last year, but also due to less sell down activity and improved campaign planning.

Operating expenses as percentage of sales declined to 26.6 per cent (31.1 per cent) driven by lower personnel and marketing costs.

EBITDA ended at NOK 78 million (negative of NOK 89 million), where the improvement was related to the improved gross margins, and lower operating expenses.

Finland

XXL has over the years built a strong position in Finland and is challenging the number one position in the market. During the COVID-19 situation the market has moved in favor of the hypermarket chains as "one shop destinations". According to market figures from TMA the sale of sporting goods in Finland increased by 3.3 per cent in Q4 2020. This is to be compared to XXL with a decline of 8.0 per cent in local currency. Total operating revenues in the quarter amounted to NOK 442 million (NOK 451 million) with a negative like for like growth of 8.5 per cent in local currency.

The gross margin increased from 22.0 per cent in Q4 2019 to a strong 38.8 per cent in Q4 2020, explained partly by the extraordinary write down last year, but also good price management and improved campaign planning.

EBITDA amounted to record high NOK 67 million in Q4 2020 (negative of NOK 16 million) despite negative growth and driven by the improvement in gross margin and cost control. Operating expenses as percentage of sales ended at 23.7 per cent in Q4 2020 (25.5 per cent) due to reduced personnel and marketing costs.

Denmark

The Danish operations are moved under the Norwegian organization. In the quarter the marketing spending and campaign activities were reduced which impacted the sales volumes negatively but improved the gross margin and the cost base. Total operating revenues in the fourth quarter 2020 amounted to NOK 6 million (NOK 9 million), representing a negative growth of 37.5 per cent in local currency. The Danish operations reached break-even on

EBITDA compared to a negative EBITDA of NOK 2 million in Q4 last year.

Austria

The market dynamics in Austria are more challenging than in the Nordic countries during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in the major cities with more restrictions impacting traffic to the stores and overall demand. The Austrian stores were closed from 17 November 2020 until 7 December 2020, as well as from 28 December 2020 and into February 2021.

Total operating revenues from the Austrian operations amounted to NOK 124 million in the fourth quarter (NOK 121 million) driven by new stores and strong e-commerce growth and despite stores being closed for four weeks. Like for like was negative of 17.2 per cent in local currency.

The gross margin increased to 27.3 per cent (13.5 per cent) due to better campaign planning and less clearance activities, but also related to the extraordinary write down of inventory last year.

Operating expenses as percentage of sales improved from 41.9 per cent in Q4 2019 to 28.7 per cent in Q4 2020 due to several cost reduction measures related to store closures.

EBITDA was negative of NOK 2 million (negative of NOK 34 million). XXL is working on a plan to increase profitability in Austria, including selectively opening some new stores to reach critical base, right sizing of the local organization, marketing efficiency and logistic costs. In February 2021 XXL opened its warehouse in Austria which will improve overall profitability in the Austrian operations.

HQ and Logistics

The HQ and Logistics segment consists of costs related to the Group's headquarter and logistics operations.

Operating expenses were NOK 136 million (NOK 111 million) in Q4 2020. This equals 5.3 per cent of total Group operating revenue compared to 4.8 per cent in the fourth quarter last year. This is due to several extra costs related to the ongoing improvement program, restructuring costs and temporarily use of external advisors.

(Figures in brackets = restated comparative period previous year, unless otherwise specified)

Cash provided by operating activities ended at NOK 1 653 million for the year ended 31 December 2020 (NOK 938 million).The main reason for the positive development is the significantly increased profits before tax and a significant decrease in inventory.

The decrease in inventory is explained by lower purchasing volumes and higher operating revenue.

Share buy backs

The shares were purchased from the open market at an average price of NOK 20.10 and for an aggregate consideration of NOK 99.9 million. These shares will be used to optimize capital structure by cover for shares to the long term management investment program.

Changes in the Executive Management team

André Sørensen left his position as the Managing Director for XXL Norway in mid-November 2020. He will be replaced by Stine Trygg-Hauger. Trygg-Hauger comes from the position as Managing Director for Norway in Clas Ohlson, and will join XXL latest on 1 June 2021. Until then, Tolle Grøterud (Chief of Staff) is acting as Managing Director for Norway.

Restatement of 2019

As described in the 2019 Annual financial statements, volume-based market support has previously been recognized in the consolidated statement of total comprehensive income and presented as a reduction of cost of goods sold upon delivery of the goods to XXL. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Group determined that it would be more appropriate to account for volume-based market support as a reduction of the cost of inventory, in order to better align supplier bonuses to sales. Hence the historic figures are restated in order to reflect the new accounting principle, and all comments are based on restated numbers. More information in note 10.

Update on the COVID-19 situation

The COVID-19 situation escalated during Q4 2020 and into Q1 2021.

As announced on 14 November 2020, Austrian authorities, with effect from 17 November 2020, decided to temporarily close down retail trade other than food, pharmacies and other important supply functions in the country as a precautionary measure to contribute to limit the contagion of COVID-19. As a consequence, the seven XXL stores in Austria closed from 17 November until 7 December 2020, as well as from 28 December and until 8 February 2021.

Also, on 23 of January, Norwegian authorities decided to close down retail trade in the greater Oslo area until 3 February 2021, and consequently XXL had to close down stores in this region for a short period of time. On 5 February four stores were closed.. The temporarily close down of retail trade imposed by the Norwegian authorities could be expanded to other regions on short notice and consequently more XXL stores could be closed. Norwegian authorities will continuously update on changes in the restrictions, as well as potential new regulations.

XXL monitors the situation closely and has initiated actions in order to reduce costs, including temporarily layoffs of employees.

XXL has a strong and solid balance sheet giving financial flexibility going forward.

Outlook

Total operating revenues for the Group in January 2021 increased by around 50 per cent to around NOK 900 million, with especially strong growth on e-commerce growing more than 100 per cent. The month was positively affect by good winter conditions all over the Nordic region, but somewhat negatively affected by covid-19 restrictions imposed by both Austrian and Norwegian authorities.

XXL's ambitions going forward is to over time gain market shares in all markets, and continue the growth in the ecommerce channel.

XXL targets to strengthen and stabilize the gross margin further from the current levels.

In line with the existing strategy, XXL will continue to invest in operational efficiency, new stores, E-commerce platform, existing stores, infrastructure and IT. Total CAPEX for XXL Group in 2021 is expected to be around NOK 250-300 million. Going forward XXL expects the pace of the store roll-out to be 3-5 new stores per year. XXL has signed 2 new lease agreements for store openings in 2021 where of 1 in Sweden and 1 in Austria. At the same time XXL will be downsizing several existing stores.

Notes to the interim financial statements1)

Note 1 General information

XXL ASA and its subsidiaries' (together the "company" or the "Group") operating activities are related to the resale of sports and leisure equipment in the Nordic countries and Austria.

All amounts in the interim financial statements are presented in NOK million unless otherwise stated. Due to rounding, there may be differences in the summation columns.

These condensed interim financial statements have not been audited.

Note 2 Basis of preparation

These condensed interim financial statements for the nine months ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting'. The condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union ('IFRS').

Note 3 Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the annual IFRS financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 except for Inventory, which is outlined below:

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated sales price less transaction cost.

Cost is reduced by discounts from suppliers, unless these are determined to be separate services that are delivered to the supplier or reimbursements for joint marketing or similar activities. Sales support billed to suppliers for joint marketing is presented as a reduction in marketing costs under other operating expenses. Inventory cost is recognized based on weighted average.

Cost to sell – IASB Staff Paper

IASB interpretation committee discussed the IASB staff paper regarding costs necessary to sell inventories on 2 February 2021. If the interpretation should pass as outlined in the IASB staff paper this could have effect on the financial statements.

Note 4 Estimates, judgments and assumptions

The preparation of interim financial statements requires Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by Management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.

Note 10 Restatement of prior periods

As described in the 2019 Annual financial statements, volume-based market support has previously been recognised in the Consolidated statement of total comprehensive income and presented as a reduction of Cost of goods sold upon delivery of the goods to XXL. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Group determined that it would be more appropriate to account for volume-based market support as a reduction of the cost of inventory. Volume-based market support will only be recognised and presented as a reduction of an expense if it constitutes a refund of a specific expense.

The change in accounting policy has been implemented retrospectively and prior periods have been restated. As a consequence of this restatement, the amount of Cost of goods sold in 2019 has changed, as well as the opening balance of Other Equity and deferred tax asset as of 1 January 2019. The restatement has had the following effect:
