Tommi Tervanen, CEO of Kotipizza Group
"The second quarter of the financial year was marked by continuously strong chain-based net sales in the Kotipizza chain. In the three months of the review period, Kotipizza twice reached the highest monthly sales in its 29-year history. The previous record in chain-based net sales, 7.14 MEUR, was set in April, just before the review period. In June, the new record was set at 7.29 MEUR, and in July, a whole new level was reached as sales of 8.64 MEUR were recorded.
The Kotipizza chain's net sales continued on a good level both in same-store sales and in number of customers. The number of customers increased 10.2% and the average purchase 6.6% in the brick-and-mortar restaurants. During the review period, orders made through the online store amounted to roughly a tenth of the net sales in brick-and-mortar restaurants. The chain-based net sales growth was 14.2% in May-July, being clearly above the average growth in the Finnish fast food market.
The growth in net sales is particularly significant considering that the net number of Kotipizza restaurants continued to decrease during the review period. At the end of the period, the number of Kotipizza restaurants stood at 254 (266). The decrease in the number of restaurants is due to the consistent closing of non-profitable restaurants. At the same time, the chain also invests in the opening of new brick-and-mortar restaurants, so it can be estimated that the number of restaurants will start growing again during 2016. We expect that chain-based net sales will continue to develop favorably. Achieving similar relative growth figures will however become more challenging month after month as comparison months from the previous year are getting tougher.
One of the reasons for chain-based net sales growth is Kotipizza's brand and concept renewal, which was started at full speed at the beginning of 2015. The renewal will be finalized by the end of this year. The Group has consistently developed the Kotipizza chain in the spirit of the fast casual phenomenon, that is, emphasizing the freshness, authenticity and sustainability of the food, as well as actively following developments in food trends and consumer tastes. During the review period, this emphasis has been particularly evident in new vegetarian options on the Kotipizza menus.
Part of our emphasis on fast casual is the Mexican-style Chalupa chain started in September 2015. During the review period, Chalupa continued to expand outside the Helsinki region on a franchising basis. At the end of the review period, three brick-and-mortar Chalupa restaurants were operating in Helsinki, and one in each of Kauniainen, Tampere, and Jyväskylä. In addition, Chalupa products were available in one Kotipizza lunch restaurant.
Group net sales grew 18.3% in the second quarter of the year and were 16.9 MEUR (14.3). Comparable EBITDA was 2.03 MEUR (1.48) in the second quarter, a growth of 37.6%. Previous year's EBITDA was still burdened by two administrative costs as company's previous headquarter in Vaasa was closed at the end of May 2015. Anyway, we were on pace with our medium-term financial goals, both in terms of the development of chain-based sales as well as that of EBITDA. The financial standing of the Group is also on a solid ground at the end of the quarter including the MEUR 2.2 distribution from the Fund for invested unrestricted equity in the quarter. Net gearing was 32 percent and equity ratio 50 percent.
We don't expect any material changes to the chained fast food market this year compared to the previous year. The economic growth in Finland is expected to be slow and to underperform Eurozone. The development of the national economy has a direct impact to consumer demand and to demand for chained fast food. However, according to the statistics demand growth for fast food has been stable, surely following the overall economic development, during the past 15 years in Finland.
The growth of our chain-based net sales exceeded the market growth for chained fast food in year 2015 based on the ongoing brand and concept renewal in Kotipizza, innovative R&D and sustainable procurement. Based on the positive chain-based net sales development in the beginning of the year and management's view on the market development for the rest of the year we expect our chain based net sales to exceed the fast food market average growth in Finland in 2016.
Our guidance for 2017 is in accordance with the upgrade on 23 August 2016. We estimate the group's chain-based net sales will during the present financial year grow by over 10% as compared to the previous financial year, and the comparable gross margin/EBITDA will grow significantly as compared to the previous financial year."
GROUP NET SALES
May-July 2016
Chain-based net sales continued, in accordance with the first quarter, strong and grew 14.2% (12.2%) year on year in the second quarter of the financial year and were 22.8 MEUR (20.0). The relative growth figures deteriorated from the first quarter as expected as comparison moths from previous year got tougher, but were nevertheless stronger than expected. Average purchase grew 6.6% and the number of customers 10.2% compared to the same period in the previous year. Chain-based net sales broke records during the quarter as June's monthly sales reached to a chain's new record of MEUR 7.29 just to exceed MEUR 8 first time in the company's history with MEUR 8.64 net sales in July. The strong performance is based on renewed concept, brand, successful marketing, and the emphasis placed on our online store and digital presence.
Group comparable net sales for the second quarter of the financial year were 16.9 MEUR (14.3) and they grew 18.3% compared to same period in the previous year. Reported net sales were 16.9 MEUR (14.3). Sales growth was mainly based on Foodstock's increased sales volume to Kotipizza underpinned by the good chain-based sales development. New customers of Foodstock, Fafa's, Espresso House and Siipiveikot-chain, which were not yet Foodstock's customers in the previous year, increased net sales. The net sales of Foodstock grew 17.0% year on year in the second quarter of the financial year. The Kotipizza segment's net sales increased 19.0% compared to the previous year and were 3.6 MEUR (3.0). The Chalupa segment's net sales in the second quarter of the financial year were 0.2 MEUR (0.0).
February-July 2016
Chain-based net sales grew 16.1% (8.1%) year on year in February-July and were 43.2 MEUR (37.2). The chain-based net sales growth was based on both increase in the average purchase and increase in number of customers. The comprehensive menu renewal done in summer 2014, successful new products together with targeted, influential and sustainability emphasized marketing has positively changed consumers' brand experience of Kotipizza. This has been seen as an increase in the number of customers.
The chain-based net sales are the total combined net sales of the company's franchisees, based on which the company's franchising fees are invoiced monthly. It also includes sales of the restaurants owned directly by the group.
Group comparable net sales for February-July were 32.3 MEUR (27.4) and they grew 18.0% compared to same period in the previous year. Reported net sales were 32.3 MEUR (27.4). Sales growth was mainly based on Foodstock's increased sales volume to Kotipizza underpinned by the good chain-based sales development. New customers of Foodstock, Fafa's, Espresso House and Siipiravintolat-chain, which were not yet Foodstock's customers in the previous year, increased net sales. The net sales of Foodstock grew 17.3% year on year in the second quarter of the financial year.

Reported EBIT included MEUR 0,14 of items affecting comparability (calculatory, non-cash), which were related to incentive plan introduced on 6 May 2016 and other incentive plans in the group. The reported EBIT of the previous year included 0.20 MEUR items affecting comparability related to listing the company's shares to the Nasdaq OMX Helsinki stock exchange. These items had a cash flow effect.
The EBIT improved mainly due to volume improvement, but sales margin also improved slightly from the previous year. Clearly higher depreciations compared to the previous year (non cash item) had a negative impact on the EBIT.

Comparable EBIT of the Group was 2.82 MEUR (2.05) in February-July. Reported EBIT was 2.68 MEUR (1.24).

Costs amounting to MEUR 0.20 related to initial public offering of company's shares to the Nasdaq OMX Helsinki Oy's stock exchange and 0.50 MEUR due to closing permanently down previous headquarters in Vaasa had a cash flow effect. In addition, previous year's reported EBIT included 0.12 MEUR non-cash deferral error related to Foodstock's inventory as an item affecting comparability.
The EBIT improved mainly due to volume improvement, but sales margin also improved slightly from the previous year. Also fixed cost growth was below the volume growth. Clearly higher depreciations compared to the previous year (non cash item) had a negative impact on the EBIT.

Anssi Koivula, CEO of Foodstock
"The review period has been marked by the strong sales growth in the Kotipizza chain, which has also been reflected in Foodstock's operations. Notably, despite the growth, we have managed to take care of the reliability of our deliveries and our customer service, thanks to which our customer satisfaction has remained high. Within the Group, Foodstock's operations have been especially affected by the Kotipizza chain's growing emphasis on the sustainability and local ingredients.

The AMG adopted the financial statements for financial year ending 31 January 2016 and discharged the members of the Board of Directors and CEO from liability for the financial year ending 31 January 2016.
The AGM resolved the number of Board members to be six. Johan Wentzel, Minna Nissinen, Petri Parvinen, Kim Hanslin and Kalle Ruuskanen were re-elected as members of Board of Directors for a term of office that lasts until the end of the next AGM. Marjatta Rytömaa was elected as a new member. Johan Wentzel was re-elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
The AGM resolved that the members of the Board will be paid as follows: Chairman of the Board of Directors Johan Wentzel and member Marjatta Rytömaa EUR 500 per month (EUR 6 000 p.a.) and other members of the Board of Directors EUR 2 000 per month (EUR 24 000 p.a.) each.
The AGM resolved that the remuneration for the auditor be paid according to invoice approved by the company. The AGM resolved to re-elect audit firm Ernst & Young Oy as the company's auditor for a term that ends at the closing of the next AGM.
The AGM resolved to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue on following terms:
1 The authorization may be used in full or in part by issuing shares in Kotipizza Group Oyj in one or more issues so that the maximum number of shares issued is 635 000 shares.
2 The Board of Directors may also decide on a directed share issue in deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights in case there is a weighty financial reason to do so, such as in order to finance or carry out acquisitions or other business transactions, develop the company's capital structure, or in order to use the shares for an incentive scheme. The Board of Directors would be authorized to decide to whom and in which order the shares will be issued. In the share issues shares may be issued for subscription against payment or without charge.
3 Based on the authorization, the Board of Directors is also authorized to decide on a share issue without payment directed to the company itself, provided that the number of shares held by the company after the issue would be a maximum of 10 per cent of all shares in the company. This amount includes shares held by the company and its subsidiaries in the manner provided for in Chapter 15, section 11 (1) of the Companies Act.
4 This authorization includes the right for the Board of Directors to decide on the terms and conditions of the share issues and measures related to the share issues in accordance with the Companies Act, including the right to decide whether the subscription price will be recognized in full or in part in the invested unrestricted equity reserve or as an increase to the share capital.
5 The authorization is valid until 31 July 2017.
6 The authorization will supersede the authorization to decide upon share issues given to the company's Board of Directors on 28 May 2015.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
In the long term, Kotipizza Group's operative risks and uncertainties relate to a possible failure in predicting consumer preferences and in creating attractive new concepts, as well as to new business risks related to possible expansion to new cities and abroad. The competitive situation is expected to remain harsh in the fast food industry. Company's management cannot affect the general market development and consumer behaviour with its actions.
Restaurant openings also have a material impact on company's franchising, rent, entry, building, operating system, training and other income, income received from selling raw materials and supplies and transport and flow of goods related income and thus to the company's financial result.
Kotipizza Group is currently launching a new fast casual concept, which is reported as Chalupa segment. Launching a new business concept has several risks related e.g. anticipation of consumer needs, habits, taste and behaviour. Launching a new concept has a risk of not reaching an established position at the market and not having a well-established clientele. Potential failure in launching a new concept causes costs to the company and has a material adverse impact on company's brand, financial position and financial result.
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORT PERIOD
The Group upgraded its outlook for the financial year ending 31 January 2017 after the review period on 22 August 2016. The reasons for the upgrade was the unexpectedly strong sales growth in the Kotipizza chain and the management's outlook on the sales in the remaining period of the financial year. According to the new outlook the Group estimates for the full financial year that the chain-based net sales will grow by over ten (10) per cent as compared to the previous financial year and that comparable EBITDA will grow significantly as compared to the previous year. The old outlook given on 23 March 2016 and reiterated on 20 June 2016 was that the Group estimates for the full financial year that the chain-based net sales will grow by over five (5) per cent as compared to the previous financial year and that comparable EBITDA will grow as compared to the previous year.
OUTLOOK FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2017
Demand for chained fast food is estimated to remain stable. The economic growth in Finland is expected to be slow and to clearly underperform Eurozone. According to estimates the national economy in Finland is expected to remain on the previous years' level or to even slightly decline. The development of the national economy has a direct impact to consumer demand and to demand for chained fast food. According to the Finnish Hospitality Association (MaRa) the turnover of the chained based fast food restaurants in Finland grew 5.7% in 2015. Demand for fast food has according to statistics remained relatively stable, surely following the overall development of the economy. According to MaRa's statistics turnover of the chained based fast food restaurants in Finland has grown 2.2 percent a year (CAGR) in years 2000-2015.
The growth of our chain-based net sales exceeded the market growth for chained fast food in year 2015 based on the ongoing concept renewal in Kotipizza, innovative R&D and sustainable procurement. Based on the positive sales growth in the Kotipizza chain and the management's outlook on the sales in the remaining period of the financial year we expect company's chain based net sales growth to exceed the Finnish fast food market average growth also in 2016.
The Company estimates the chain-based net sales will grow by over ten (10) per cent as compared to the previous financial year and that comparable EBITDA will grow significantly as compared to the previous year.
