Interim report Q2 2022 (April 1 - June 30)
(All figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period in 2021)
Double-digit revenue growth in the quarter. Earnings temporarily impacted by price increases on raw material. Outlook on EBIT revised.
CEO Torben Paulin:
“In Q2 we delivered a significant revenue growth of 12% through an increase of 11% in the Danish market and a strong growth of 24% in Other countries driven by the Norwegian business.
We are pleased that the supply chain situation normalised during the quarter, and that we through huge efforts from our committed employees were able to meet the strong demand for kitchens in the quarter and deliver significant topline growth. The growth consisted of both volume growth and impact from the implemented sales price increases.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine impacted the overall supply in the European market, which led to significant further price increases on raw material and components as well as higher energy and transportation costs in the quarter. During Q2 we implemented two further sales price increases, however due to the nature of our business, the positive effect from these mitigation actions comes with some delay. Input costs have now stabilised, and from the middle of the third quarter the implemented sales price increases will expectedly level out the negative impact from the higher input costs so far.
On a positive note, the order pipeline going into Q3 is solid, providing some visibility and assurance of the short term customer demand. However, the high inflation combined with increasing interest rates and other macro economic indicators creates a high level of uncertainty regarding the housing market and the future demand for kitchens.
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. A 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.
Based on the current market conditions, which is subject to a high degree of uncertainty, we revise our financial outlook: a full year revenue guidance in the range DKK 1,150-1,225 million (unchanged), corresponding to organic growth of 4-11%, and an adjusted EBIT in the range DKK 130-160 million (previously DKK 140-170 million).”
