Interim report Q3 2021 (July 1 – September 30)
(All figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period in 2020)
Continued good growth in Q3. Earnings in Q3 impacted by supply chain disruptions and timing of price increases.
CEO Torben Paulin:
“In Q3 customer demand remained solid and supported revenue growth. Organic like-for-like growth was 10%, and reported sales grew 6.1%, which included a negative impact from the divestment of the Svane Køkkenet store in Copenhagen, and the divestment of the e-commerce activities within kitchn.dk (now part of the merged Celebert/kitchn.dk business). We continue to see solid growth rates in revenue outside Denmark, which was up 16% compared to third quarter last year.
At the same time, we are in an unprecedented situation with significant instability and challenges in the supply chain across the entire kitchen industry. This leads to on-going mitigation to ensure as high delivery assurance as possible despite the challenges in the supply chain, generating additional costs and there-by a temporary negative impact on earnings short-term. All employees in TCM Group as well as our dedicated staff in the store network are doing their utmost to handle the current situation, and I am genuinely impressed with their daily efforts to limit the impact on our end customers caused from this challenging situation.
Furthermore, earnings in Q3 were negatively impacted by significantly increased raw material prices. We have already implemented sales price increases, which will mitigate the negative impact from the raw material price increases in Q4.
As a result of the above, adjusted EBIT ended at DKK 31.7 million compared to DKK 33.1 million in Q3 last year.
EBIT in the quarter was DKK 43.7 million compared to DKK 32.1 million in Q3 last year, positively impacted by a non-recurring net gain from the Celebert/kitchn.dk transaction of DKK 15.5 million. We are pleased with this transaction, which will enable us to put even more traction in growing our online business and presence.
We reiterate our full year revenue guidance in the range DKK 1,090-1,120 million, and for the adjusted EBIT we narrow our guidance to be in the range DKK 148-155 million.”
