To our shareholders

Q2 became more challenging than expected. We started off well, with sales growth in both B2B and B2C in April. As we moved into May and June B2C sales declined, but B2B continued to grow. In Sweden, Elbutik experienced an opposite development where April was the most challenging month, and June the best compared to last year.

Total sales of 358 MNOK (321 MNOK) generating a growth of 11.6%. Our greatest challenge has been to grow our online business on top of extraordinary growth last year.

Total gross margin of 126 MNOK (120 MNOK) generating a gross margin percentage of 35.1% (37.4%). Margin dilution is due to increased B2B share of business and lower margins in Sweden compared to the Norwegian operation.

Cost control have been good. With 3 new stores and doubling the size of our central warehouse we managed to keep a cost to sales ratio of 21.5% compared to 21% last year. EBITDA of 48.8 MNOK (52.8 MNOK).

Based on audited figures for 2021 the cash part of the purchase price for Elbutik Scandinavia AB was reduced with 19 MSEK.

During the quarter we have continued the integration of Elbutik. Migrating IT systems, setting up a new management structure and project teams. We are expanding the warehouse capacity, and setting up more efficient logistics with the target to have our Swedish business fully integrated by the end of the year. We are finalizing an agreement for a new central warehouse and head office, and plans are to move into new facilities Q3 2023.

We have signed a lease agreement for our first Swedish store which will open Q1 2023 in the greater Stockholm area (Barkarby/Veddesta).

There are still some suppliers that are facing supply difficulties on certain products, but overall we have good availability. We do not foresee any major supply chain issues going forward. Conversion rate in stores continues to be good and landed at 61% for the quarter. Basket size is up 3% compared to last year, and Namron share of business was at 30.8 % which is a slight increase from last year.

Spoton continues its good development and we delivered 740 installations in Q2 generating 7.4 MNOK turnover compared to 4.3 MNOK last year.

Q2 has been a challenging quarter in terms of growth, but we believe that the most challenging comparable numbers are behind us. During July we have taken further actions to protect our gross margins, our business integration in Sweden is going according to plan, and we have our peak season coming up in the months to come. In the coming weeks, all our employees will be making the final preparations for peak season, and in August we will gather all our teams for product and sales training. I look forward to meeting them all and personally thank each and every one of them for the great job they are doing.

Yours sincerely

Andreas Niss, CEO Elektroimportøren
