OUR CORE VALUEShow we always act
16Same-store-sales influenced by unfavourable
development in global economic climate
- Revenue at DKK 562.8m - down 5 YoY
- Most importantly due to phasing out of product
customers and Studios - Revenue generated by Brand Stores at par with
last year (all Stores) - Same-store-sales reduced by 10 (YoY)
- Revenue heavily impacted by negative global
macro-economic development with declining growth
rates, consumer confidence and purchasing power - Markets in Spain, US , UK and Denmark hit the
hardest - The launch of the new range and increased
marketing initiatives have not been able to
off-set the negative market conditions - Traffic to Brand Stores reduced considerably
which has led to a slow down in order-intake in
2Q 2008/09
17Brand Stores' pipeline intact
- Brand Stores as the primary sales channel
- Generated 90 of revenues in 1H 2008/09
- Net-addition of 15 Brand Stores in 1H 2008/09
- New openings in main markets in France, US,
Japan, Denmark and China - Considerable interest from both new and existing
franchisees to open new Brand Stores - New additions will primarily occur in existing
markets, but also in new growth markets as Mexico
and Singapore
18Gross margin increases, EBIT-margin is down
- Gross margin up to 40 from 39 (YoY)
- Intensified focus on making basic costs variable
- Increased use of sourcing and adapting costs to
activity level has reduced number of employees - EBIT-margin down from 8.3 to 6.1 (YoY)
- Revenue decline influences EBIT-margin
- Increased provisions for losses on receivables
reduces EBIT by DKK 6m compared to last year - EBIT-margin for 2Q 2008/09 at 6.3
19Pre-tax profit below expectations
- Net losses on financial items of DKK 9.2m
mainly attributable to unrealised losses on
forward contracts on JPY (DKK 11.2m) - Pre-tax profit at DKK 21.9m for 1H 2008/09
compared to DKK 42.1m last year - Profit after tax at DKK 15.8m for 1H 2008/09
compared to DKK 29.6m last year
20Increased receivables affects cash flow
- Total balance sheet at DKK 594.1m after 1H
2008/09 (DKK 30.1m up from last year) - Receivables up due to increase in number of
credit days - Acquisition of two Brand Stores (DK and S), one
sold (UK) - Fewer investments in no-current assets than
budgeted - Equity at DKK 196.6m equity ratio of 33.1
- Negative cash flow of DKK 42.5m as a consequence
of increased working capital and reduced earnings
Cash flow before instalments on non-current
debt items

planned - Limited investments in non-current assets as
growth is not capital intensive
24...but current market conditions are demanding
- Situation
- Decreasing global growth and consumer confidence
reduces traffic to Brand Stores and adds pressure
on order-intake and same-store-sales - Positive reception of new collection has not been
able to off-set the negative impact from the
recent macro-economic development - Absence of additional sales limits EBIT-margins
as Economy of Scale is not achieved
- Actions from BoConcept
- Focussed effort to increase same-store-sales
- Tactical marketing to increase traffic to Brand

the current market conditions - Global recession
and financial instability expect to remain for
the rest of 2008/09 - Same-store-sales not expected to improve in 2H
2008/09, and the effect of new openings in
2007/08 and 2008/09 will not be enough to off-set
decline in same-store-sales
