CEO statement
Paul Fischbein, President and CEO, commented: “CDON Group has seen a promising
start to 2014; we are delivering a growth of 10 percent, a positive operating
profit in this seasonally weak first quarter and an improvement in cash flow of
almost SEK 159 million year-on-year. Sports & Health continues to display a high
growth rate at 30 percent, as well as stable margins. Home & Garden enjoyed
strong sales during the quarter, with an increase of 26 percent.

The transformation of CDON.com into a leading online department store is
continuing. Sales volumes for CDON.com Marketplace displayed good growth in the
first quarter, and CDON.com’s operating profit, which is included in the
Entertainment segment, was slightly above break-even.

Within Nelly.com, the previous quarter’s launch in France was followed up by
launches in Belgium and Poland (after the end of the interim reporting period).
NLYman.com, an online boutique devoted exclusively to the fashion-conscious man,
was also launched.

After the first quarter we disclosed a pilot test of an in-house payment
solution for two of the Group’s Swedish sites. Testing will start in the coming
months. We see the pilot test as an important step to further improve the
shopping experience while CDON Group can a take a greater responsibility for the
value chain.

All in all, CDON Group is in a good position to be able to gradually increase
investments in 2014 to fuel growth, mainly within the Fashion and Sports &
Health segments.”
