Lier, 15 May 2025: Kid Group, a leading home and interior retailer in the
Nordics, announces its financial results for the first quarter of 2025.

HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE QUARTER INCLUDE:

· Revenues for the Group increased by 5.3% to MNOK 733.7, mainly driven by the
development in Hemtex
· Gross margin decreased 0.9 percentage points to 60.6%, impacted by higher
freight costs seen throughout 2024
· OPEX increased by 8.3%, impacted by investments in future growth initiatives
combined with currency effect
· EBITDA decreased by MNOK 9.2 to MNOK 115.3
· EPS of NOK -0.74 down from NOK -0.23 last year
· Cash flow from operations is negatively impacted by working capital changes
and planned inventory build-up

"We present a positive start for Kid Group in 2025, reaching all-time high
revenues for the first quarter of MNOK 733.7. The growth is mainly driven by
Hemtex, somewhat negatively impacted by the timing of Easter and slight delays
of spring and summer assortment. The OPEX development includes investments in
future growth initiatives", says Marianne Fulford, CEO of Kid ASA.
