BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Verkkokauppa.com Oyj’s business operations are estimated to develop
positively in the future. The company believes that it will succeed in further
growing its market share in the chosen categories. The strong balance sheet
enables the company to continue expanding its operations in accordance with
its strategy.
The company has benefited from the shifting consumer behavior accelerated by
the COVID-19 pandemic, as the sales in the online sales channel have shown
strong growth. The company expects this trend to continue the longer the
COVID-19 pandemic persists and that the accelerated shift to online sales
channels continues.
At the same time, the prolongation of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have
a negative impact on spending on travel and service sectors. On the one hand,
this has positively affected the consumer demand for goods, but on the other
hand, it has limited the lower-margin wholesale business. The short-term risk
is that COVID-19 situation and related restrictions continues longer than
anticipated in Finland. This may have an impact on the company’s operations
and its ability to safely serve customers in the brick-and-mortar stores.
The uncertainties concerning the future business outlook remain and relate to
macroeconomic developments and the prevailing COVID-19 situation. The pandemic
may still cause unforeseen impacts on the overall economic development,
consumer demand as well as consumer purchase behavior and B2B sales in the
future. Nevertheless, the company believes that it is well positioned and will
be a relative winner in the “new normal” business environment of the
future.
FINANCIAL GUIDANCE
The company expects the revenue to be between 570–620 million euros (2020:
554 million euros) and comparable operating profit to be between 20–26
million euros (2020: 20.4 million euros) in 2021.
CEO PANU PORKKA’S REVIEW
In 2020, online shopping became the preferred way of shopping for a growing
number of Finns. This migration from offline to online was accelerated by the
COVID-19 pandemic when people had to reduce visits to physical stores and got
used to the convenience of online shopping and home deliveries. As a pioneer
of ecommerce, Verkkokauppa.com clearly benefitted from this trend.
The peak shopping season began on Black Friday and continued until Christmas.
During this online shopping season of all times, the increased preference for
shopping online could also be seen in Verkkokauppa.com’s business, as
already 66% of all purchases from Verkkokauppa.com were done online and 65% of
these online purchases were delivered home. In the same period, the number of
visitors on Verkkokauppa.com’s website grew by 25% compared to the same
period last year and reached an all-time high of 14.2 million (11.4 million).
Verkkokauppa.com’s revenue returned to double-digit growth, increasing by
10.1% to 176 million euros (160) in the fourth quarter. The growth was driven
by the strong performance of mid-sized product categories, especially major
domestics appliances (MDA) and sports equipment. The development of MDA
category was especially satisfying, and it is growing from a mid-sized
category to one of Verkkokauppa.com’s core categories. At the same time, the
export business continued to suffer from travel restrictions due to COVID-19.
Verkkokauppa.com’s profitability continued to develop favorably in the
fourth quarter. The company’s gross margin grew to 15.1% of revenue (13.9%),
especially driven by the strong performance of mid-sized, higher-margin
categories. Also, the comparable operating profit grew, reaching a record-high
6.2 million euros (4.5). In each quarter of 2020, the company has delivered
the best-ever comparable operating profit of that respective quarter. In the
fourth quarter, Verkkokauppa.com’s comparable operating profit was the best
quarterly comparable operating profit in the company’s history.
Verkkokauppa.com’s latest ranking in the YouGov BrandIndex is also source of
pride. Verkkokauppa.com is the most recommended brand in its comparison group.
Our brand is clearly and positively on people’s mind when they are making
purchase decisions. These results show that persistent and systematic work in
developing the brand is paying off.
Today, Verkkokauppa.com’s announced its refined strategy. The company’s
vision is to remain as a pioneer of ecommerce also in the next decades through
continuous innovation. The company’s success will be built on five pillars:
excellent customer experience and strong brand, efficient fulfilment, superior
technology backbone, extensive assortment and cost competitiveness.
Verkkokauppa.com is seeking growth both within its core categories as well as
by expanding into segments with attractive margin potential, especially
online. Additionally, the company sees attractive growth opportunities in the
B2B segment, private labelling and in value added services. We are also
keeping our eyes open for potential M&A opportunities. By getting all this
right, Verkkokauppa.com will aim to reach an annual revenue of one billion
euros and a 5% EBIT margin by the end of 2025.
I’m proud of Verkkokauppa.com’s performance in 2020 and wish to thank our
personnel for their hard work during these unusual times, and our shareholders
and customers for their continued trust. Verkkokauppa.com is in an excellent
position to benefit from the ecommerce boom. In 2021, we want to increase
Verkkokauppa.com’s market share, especially online, and continue to deliver
on the company’s customer promise of “Probably always cheaper prices”.
REVENUE AND PROFITABILITY DEVELOPMENT
October–December 2020
In October–December 2020, Verkkokauppa.com Oyj’s revenue grew by 10.1%
year on year. Revenue grew by 16.1 million euros, totaling 176 million euros
(159.9). Sales increased particularly in Major domestic appliances, Small
domestic appliances, Sports, Toys, Office & Supplies, and Home & Lighting.
The company-financed customer financing proceeds were 1.0 million euros (0.9)
including both interest income and fee income. The credit loss allowance was
increased by 0.2 million euros (0.1) in the fourth quarter.
Personnel costs increased in October–December by 14.3% to 10.4 million euros
(9.1). The increase resulted mainly from the growing personnel costs in IT
administration, purchasing, retail stores, customer service and from bonus
payment covering the whole staff. During the reporting period, other operating
expenses increased by 18.6% to 8.9 million euros (7.5). The increase resulted
mainly from higher external logistics service costs, increased IT and
marketing expenses and increased credit loss allowance.
Operating profit in October–December 2020 was 6.2 million euros (4.5),
comparable operating profit was 6.2 (4.5) and profit for the period 4.7
million euros (3.2).

The company-financed customer financing proceeds were 3.6 million euros (3.3)

uncertainty related to customers’ payment behavior in the future and changes
in continues debt sales pricing, the credit loss allowance was increased
compared to the end of 2019 and totaled 1.1 million euros (0.6). As of April
2019, Verkkokauppa.com has been selling past due receivables in a so-called
continuous debt sales model, where receivables overdue more than 60 days will
be sold to third parties. This decreases company’s accounts receivable risk.
Personnel costs increased in January–December by 9.1% to 35.6 million euros
(32.6). The increase resulted mainly from the growing personnel costs in IT
administration, marketing, retail stores and from bonus payment covering the
whole staff. During the reporting period, other operating expenses increased
by 13.1% to 28.8 million euros (25.5). The increase was mainly driven by
advisory costs relating to transferring to the official list of Nasdaq
Helsinki, increased credit loss allowance, external logistics service costs
and IT-related costs.
Operating profit in January–December 2020 was 19.6 million euros (11.3),
comparable operating profit was 20.4 (11.3) and profit for the period 14.6
million euros (7.8). Items affecting comparable operating profit totaled 0.8
million euro (0.0).
FINANCE AND INVESTMENTS
Operating cash flow was 16.9 million euros (9.7) in January–December 2020.
In the reporting period, the relative improvement of the operating cash flow
resulted from improved sales margin.
Ordinary seasonal fluctuations are reflected in cash and cash equivalents,
cash flow and accounts payable, which usually reach the highest point at the
end of the fourth quarter and the lowest point at the end of the second
quarter.
Investments totaled 1.4 million euros (1.2) in January–December 2020. During
the reporting period the company invested and capitalized 0.6 million euros

Notes
1.1 Accounting principles applied in this Financial Statements Release
Verkkokauppa.com Oyj is a public limited company, the shares of which were
quoted until 4 June 2020 on the First North Growth Market of Nasdaq Helsinki
Ltd marketplace and are quoted on 5 June 2020 onwards on the official list of
Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd. The registered address of its head office is
Tyynenmerenkatu 11, Helsinki.
Verkkokauppa.com Oyj’s Financial Statements Release for January–December
2020 has been prepared in line with IAS 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’
and should be read in conjunction with Verkkokauppa.com Oyj’s financial
statements for 2019, published on 4 March 2020. Verkkokauppa.com Oyj has
applied the same accounting principles in the preparation of this Financial
Statements Release as in its Financial Statements for 2019.
Verkkokauppa.com Oyj has not adopted any new accounting policies during 2020
that would have a material impact on this Financial Statements Release.
The information presented in this Financial Statements Release has not been
audited. The figures are rounded, and therefore the sum of individual figures
may deviate from the aggregate amount presented. All amounts in this report
are presented in EUR thousands, unless otherwise stated.
Management judgement related to the choice and application of accounting
policies and measures following the COVID-19
The preparation of this Interim Financial Report required management to make
judgements, estimates assumptions that affect the application of accounting
principles and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic the company has started several
initiatives to secure business continuity and staff safety. The company is
monitoring and reporting on the COVID-19 situation on a frequent basis. As the
conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic are constantly changing, it is
still difficult to estimate its impact on the economy, consumer demand as well
as purchase behavior, B2B sales and wholesale. Since March 2020, the company
has monitored customers’ payment behavior and the development of account
receivables on a daily basis and has managed credit limits and potential
credit losses. No significant changes have been observed in customers’
payment behavior. COVID-19 has also not had a significant effect on inventory
turnover or impairment. There have been no significant changes in the
Company’s leases or payment terms as a result of COVID-19 that would have
affected the company’s right-of-use assets or their lease liabilities. The
current strong cash position and unused RCF facilities (20.0 million euros)
will secure business continuity even under these exceptional circumstances.
1.2 Segment reporting
Verkkokauppa.com Oyj has one reportable segment. The management of
Verkkokauppa.com Oyj has exercised judgement when it has applied the
aggregation criteria to aggregate the operating segments into one reportable
segment. The customers are the same across all operating segments, which offer
the same goods and services in uniform conditions in one main market i.e.
Finland. At the core of the company’s business model is a strong integration
of webstore and retail stores, common support functions serving the entire
business as well as the volume benefits enabled by centralized business.
1.3 Revenue from contracts with customers
The revenue streams of the company consist of the sale of goods and services.
There are more than 65,000 products in 26 different main product categories
that the company sells to consumers through its own webstore and four retail
stores in Finland. The sale of services rendered by the company includes, for
example, installation and maintenance services, subscription sales and
visibility sales. Revenue is accumulated geographically mainly from Finland.
Revenue from sales of products is recognized at a point in time when the
control has been transferred. The revenue from services is recognized mainly
over time.

Determining fair values
Level 1: Fair values are based on the (unadjusted) quoted prices of identical
assets or liabilities publicly traded in active markets.
Level 2: Financial instruments are not traded in active and liquid markets,
but their fair values are calculable based on market data.
Level 3: Measuring of financial instruments is not based on verifiable market
data, nor are other factors influencing the fair value of the instruments
available or verifiable.
The equity investments in level 3 contain unquoted shares. According to the
assessments of the management, measurement at cost is closest to fair value.
There have been no changes in the carrying amounts during the financial year
2020. There have been no significant transfers between measurement categories
during the review period.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLANS
The Board of Directors of Verkkokauppa.com Oyj has on 13 February 2020
resolved to establish a new share-based incentive plan for the CEO and the
members of the Management Team. The aim of the new plan is to align the
objectives of the shareholders and the management in order to increase the
value of the company in the long term, to encourage the management to
personally invest in the company shares, to retain the members of the
Management Team at the company and to offer them a competitive reward plan
that is based on acquiring, earning and accumulating the company’s shares.
In the new Performance Matching Share Plan 2020–2022, a person may earn a
number of matching shares based on their investment in Verkkokauppa.com
Oyj’s shares and the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of the share. The
Performance Matching Share Plan includes one performance period, calendar
years 2020–2022. The reward to be paid to participants is based on the
achievement of the required TSR levels set by the Board of Directors. A
maximum of three performance-based matching shares is paid for each allocated
share. The prerequisite for participation and receiving of reward is that a
participant allocates freely transferable company shares, held by them, in the
plan, or acquires the company’s shares up to the number determined by the
Board of Directors. Furthermore, payment of reward is based on the
participant’s valid employment or service upon reward payment. As a rule, no
reward will be paid if a participant’s employment or service ends before the
reward payment.
The target group of the plan consists of eight persons, the CEO and all other
members of the Management Team. In accordance with the terms of the plan each
participant is entitled to get a gross number of shares. However, a net number
of shares will be paid to the participant after the company has withheld and
paid the value of a part of the shares to cover the employee’s tax
obligation. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the plan correspond to the
value of approximately 540,000 Verkkokauppa.com Oyj shares in total (gross
amount).

impact on the company’s financial statements.

Alternative performance measurement
In this Financial Statements Release, Verkkokauppa.com Oyj presents certain
key figures that are not accounting measures defined under IFRS and therefore
are considered as Alternative Performance Measures (APM). Verkkokauppa.com Oyj
applies in the reporting of alternative performance measures the guidelines
issued by the European Securities and Market Authority (ESMA).
Verkkokauppa.com Oyj uses alternative performance measures to reflect the
underlying business performance and to enhance comparability between financial
periods. The company’s management believes that these key figures provide
supplementing information on the income statement and financial position.
Alternative performance measures do not substitute the IFRS key ratios.
