7 Management report Accounting report 3rd quarter (1 November January 2018) 3 months The level of activity during the 3rd quarter did not fully meet our expectations. Turnover of the 3rd quarter amounts to 285 mio. DKK against 269 mio. DKK last year - representing an increase of 6%. Adjusted for the inclusion of last years acquisition of Carpet Concept the organic growth makes up 1%. EBIT of the 3rd quarter makes up 16.8 mio. DKK and has decreased by 0.4 mio. DKK compared to last year, corresponding to 2%. Compared to last year the development in exchange rates affects EBIT negatively with approx. 2.0 mio. DKK. The Group s fixed costs which make up mio. DKK (other external costs, personnel costs and depreciations) have increased by 8% compared to last year. The increase makes up approx. 4% when adjusted for Carpet Concept. Profit for the period before taxation amounts to 12.6 mio. DKK against 14.1 mio. DKK last year. As per 31 January 2018 the number of employees amounts to 706 which compared to last year is a reduction of 6 employees. 1st 3rd quarter (1 May January 2018) 9 months The revenue of the first 9 months of the financial year 2017/18 amounts to 846 mio. DKK against 725 mio. DKK last year representing an increase of just under 17%. Adjusted for last year s acquisition of Carpet Concept the organic growth makes up 5%. Overall the level of activity has not quite lived up to our expectations. The export share constitutes 84% against 82% last year. EBIT makes up 55.8 mio. DKK against 55.3 mio. DKK last year for the same period. The development in exchange rates and the influence of this spring s price increase in raw materials affect EBIT of the period negatively with approx. 8.5 mio. DKK against last year. The negative effect of the price increase in raw materials has been on the decline throughout Q3 and is expected normalised in Q4. The Group s fixed costs, which make up mio. DKK (other external costs, personnel costs and depreciations), have increased by 15% compared to last year. Adjusted for Carpet Concept the remaining increase in fixed costs amounts to approx. 5%. Investments continue within the focus areas expansion, branding and product development. Focus has to a great extent been on the integration of Carpet Concept in the Group including insourcing of products from external suppliers to realise significant Group synergies. Due to this product and collection development costs among others have increased. The work will continue for the next 6 months. Profit for the period before taxation and minority holdings amounts to 42.0 mio. DKK against 47.7 mio. DKK last year. Profit from hedging currency transactions (GBP) is included last year with an income of 2.1 mio. DKK. Group cash flows from operation activities amount to 29 mio. DKK against 49 mio. DKK last year. The development is mainly attributable to increased binding of liquidity in inventory. Prospects for the financial year 2017/18 Based on the development we have observed during the first 9 months of the financial year, we specify revenue expectations at 1,130-1,170 mio. DKK and EBIT-margin at 6.5-7%. Cash flows from operation activity are adjusted to mio. DKK. Expected Specified Realised expectations 9 months 2017/ / /18 Turnover mio. DKK 1,150-1,225 1,130-1, EBIT-margin 7-8% 6.5-7% 7% Cash flows from operating activity mio. DKK Investments mio. DKK *Investments in fixed and intangible assets. Expansion and branding as well as integration of Carpet Concept will be very central areas of action during the financial year 2017/18. The work of expanding the organisation and the positioning in the market will continue with focus on our core markets. MANAGEMENT REPORT 5

8 Development in turnover Q1-Q3 and prospects for turnover Q4 Realised Q1-Q3 2017/18 Prospects Q4 2017/18 Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway, Sweden) The objective is to maintain our high market share. This is overall fulfilled with growth carried out by Denmark. However, the growth has been at a lower level during Q3. We expect a slightly lower activity during Q4 for which reason the development in Denmark for the year in total will be at level with our objectives. We must realise that the development of Q3 in Norway and Sweden has not quite met our expectations. We do not expect a significant change during Q4 and Norway and Sweden will thus not quite live up to our overall objectives for the financial year 2017/18. Core growth markets DACH (Germany, Austria and Switzerland), England and France We have experienced significant growth and the level of activity is virtually as expected. Our core growth markets have been selected as spearhead for the realisation of our growth objectives. With continued focused effort we also expect that Q4 will live up to our objectives. Other markets Other markets which include Americas and the Far- and Middle East have not all lived up to our objectives. Americas is below the level of last year and below our expectations. The Far East is above the level of last year but below our expectations. The Middle East is on par with our expectations. We expect the same level of activity in Americas and the Far East during Q4. The overall objective of the year is not expected to be fully met. We expect that the Middle East will perform at the same level during Q4 and the overall objectives for the financial year 2017/18 are thus expected to be met. The entire Group We have realised a total growth of 17% of which organic growth constitutes 5% after the correction of factoring in Carpet Concept. The level of activity has not quite lived up to our expectations. Based on the development we have seen during the first 3 quarters of the financial year we specify our expectations to the revenue of the financial year to 1,130-1,170 mio. DKK. Carpet tiles We continue to see a tidy growth 24% during the first 3 quarters of the financial year. Carpet tiles are still gaining market share. We expect growth at the same level during Q4. The development is consistent with our strategic objectives and growth plans. Accounting policies The interim report is presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as approved by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for listed companies. Debt commitment related to the acquisition of minority interests regarding the remaining 49% of Bentzon Carpets ApS and Hammer Tæpper A/S has been reclassified from long-term debt to short-term debt. Comparative figures have also been adjusted. The adjustment has no effect on profit or capital and reserves. Apart from this ratio the used accounting policy is unchanged in relation to the annual financial report 2016/17 to which reference is made. 6 MANAGEMENT REPORT

18 Notes without reference The segmentation is prepared on the basis of the Group s internal management reporting and is based on the individual market (operating segment). Consolidation to reportable segments is based on differences in sales channels. The segment Direct sale includes sale achieved by egetæpper s Danish sales organisation as well as foreign subsidiaries and sales offices. The segment Indirect sale is defined as sale via commercial agents or sale to importers/distributors abroad. As segmental result we use the internal phrase market contribution. This is defined as external revenue with deduction of direct wages and material used for production as well as costs, which are directly referable to the individual markets.
