Lier, 12 May 2021: The board of Directors of Kid ASA has approved the financial
report for the first quarter of 2021.
Best Q1 performance ever, driven by continued high revenue growth combined with
increased gross margin and stringent cost control.
Revenues increased in both segments despite reduced footfall to physical stores
as a result of Covid-19 restrictions, mainly driven by increased online shopping
and compensating sales initiatives utilizing the omni channel platform.
Key financial highlights
· Q1 revenues increased by +10.4% to MNOK 569.1 (MNOK 515.51). Like-for-like
sales increased by +9.3%
· Gross margin increased by 0.9 percentage points to 61.0% (60.1%)
· Adjusted EBITDA of MNOK 112.7 (MNOK 64.7) which is an increase of MNOK 48.0
compared to the first quarter last year
· Renewed agreement with Nordea securing a five-year term loan structure of
NOK 611.7 million
The results will be presented at 09:00 CET by CEO Anders Fjeld and CFO Eystein
Lund at ABG Sundal Colliers' Office in Oslo.
