Strong performance in first half with sales growth of +9.9%

Strong H1 2020 sales growth of +9.9% (€103.5M). Order Intake grown by +19.8% to €106.0M

High order intake levels have resulted in a record-level orderbook of €23.5M, creating a buffer for the period to come

Achieved +2% revenue growth in Belgium despite 9 weeks of store closures

Online sales for the group has grown +71.4%, leading to a channel-share of 14.0%, particularly due to a strong performance in Q2 of +115%

Sängjätten has made significant steps towards a better performance

  • Further improved sound financial position with extension of currentfinancing-facilities with banks and conversion of shareholder loan including accrued interests into newly issued shares and agreed to decrease the interest rate of the perpetual loan for the next 12 months

The macro-economic, consumer and COVID-19 predictions indicate challenging times are ahead, to mitigate these uncertainties & challenges, we are taking precautionary measures

The shown resilience over the last 2 years, combined with a successful H1 '20, the buffer from an all-time high orderbook and a financially healthy company with access to liquidity if needed, gives us the confidence that we will be able to face the challenges ahead

2020 H1 financials

Due to the COVID-19 crisis the economic conditions are challenging

The bedding market is generally stable and growingdue to an ageing & growing population and an increasing emphasis on health and lifestyle

The outbreak ofCOVID-19 has a profound negative impact on the economy for the coming1-2years. Luxury goods and the housing market are expected to be affected accordingly

The impact of COVID-19 differs strongly per sector. The retail & wholesalesector in the Netherlands is expected to contract by 7%in 20202

CPB has defined four scenariosregarding potential impact on the Dutch market:

  • Quick recovery:rapid shift in employment, catch-up spending and investments
  • Base case:recovery from Q3 onwards, but incomplete. Unemployment rate doubles
  • Weak recovery:bigger problems abroad and in the financial system lead to a deeper and longer recession
  • Second wave:companies are hit by a second wave while their buffers have already been stretched
