CEO’S COMMENTS  
 
CLAS OHLSON INTERIM REPORT Q 3  2025/26                      2  
 
Continued progress - increased sales and profits
We managed to maintain the positive sales trend from the 
second quarter into the important third quarter. In November 
and December, we had the right offer for both the Christmas 
preparations such as string lights and Christmas trees, and the 
Christmas presents. In January, when the cold in our sales 
markets made its entrance, we instead saw a clear upswing in 
weather-related product categories such as heat sources and 
snow removal, at the same time as the basic range sold well. 
Our ability to meet the variations in customer needs and 
expectations are good examples of the organisation's strength 
in both assortment development and customer meeting. In 
total, organic sales increased in the third quarter by 8 per cent, 
and net sales exceeded 4 billion SEK for the first time ever in a 
quarter. Operating profit improved to 659 MSEK (553), 
corresponding to an operating margin of 16.2 per cent (14.3), 
and earnings per share amounted to SEK 8.09 (6.72). 
A strong and growing store network 
In terms of development by market, Norway continues to 
show fantastic growth. The fact that the research company 
Yougov as recently as February ranked Clas Ohlson as the 
strongest brand in the retail sector in Norway shows the 
position we have in the market. Sweden is also delivering 
strongly in relation to tough comparative figures from the 
previous year, with organic growth of 7 per cent. We also see 
strong development in Finland with an organic sales increase of 9 
per cent in the quarter. We have rebuilt all Finnish stores and put a 
greater focus on products that are particularly appreciated by the 
Finnish customer. This work is yielding results and further 
confidence in opening more stores in the Finnish market. After a 
successful store opening outside Helsinki last autumn, we will 
open a new store in Tampere this spring and another in Joenssu 
later this autumn. In total, we plan to open eight stores net in 
2025/26, i.e. slightly below our ambition of approximately ten new 
stores net. For the coming financial year 2026/27, the goal is to 
continue to open new stores at the same pace as in the past three 
years. 
E-com – a profitable growth engine 
Online sales continues to develop well. E-com accounted for 21 
per cent of total sales in the third quarter, and growth in the B2C 
business is very strong, as in the previous quarter. For example, 
total sales at www.clasohlson.com grew by 15 per cent in the 
quarter. New for the quarter is that sales from the add-on 
acquisitions Phonelife and Reservdelaronline are included in total 
net sales online, which amounted to 843 MSEK. 
The foundation for future growth 
At the same time as we deliver results here and now, we are 
constantly taking steps to create an even better Clas Ohlson for 
the future. Our work with assortment development is becoming 
increasingly efficient and we will continue to launch product news 
at a high pace this spring. The investment in increased logistics 
capacity has reached a new milestone as we now have selected 
our collaboration partner regarding the automation solution for 
our distribution centre in Insjön. The next step is to start 
construction and we expect to be able to break ground within the 
next few weeks. In terms of logistics development, we have also 
signed a new agreement with PostNord for deliveries to stores in 
Sweden, Norway and Finland, with a focus on further reducing our 
climate footprint through fossil-free fuels and more climate-
optimised solutions.  
Value creation for all stakeholders 
In summary, we continue to develop the company with a focus on 
assortment, brand and customer meeting, without compromising 
on accuracy in daily operations. Customer satisfaction regarding 
both service and products is high, while the customer base 
continues to grow larger. In total, we now have 6.2 million 
members in Club Clas. Sales in February showed a good start to 
the last quarter of the year, with organic sales growth of 9 per cent. 
In an uncertain macro environment, we will continue to focus on 
things we can influence ourselves and, strengthened by the results 
of recent years, we are confident that we can continue to grow 
profitably in our major product niches, thereby creating value for 
all stakeholders.  
See you in stores and online! 
 
Kristofer Tonström, President and CEO

”Clas Ohlson is ranked the strongest brand in retail in

Financial position and cash flow  
Cash flow from operating activities during the quarter amounted to 1,540 MSEK (1,348), mainly driven by a higher operating profit and a 
positive change in working capital. Free cash flow, i.e. cash flow after investing activities including repayments of lease liabilities, during the 
quarter amounted to 1,290 MSEK (1,175). Cash flow for the quarter, after investing and financing activities, amounted to 1,068 MSEK (1,041), 
affected by a higher dividend and the acquisitions of Phonelife AB and Reservdelaronline Sverige AB. 
Cash flow from operating activities during the nine-month period amounted to 2,091 MSEK (1,878), which is mainly explained by a higher 
operating profit. Free cash flow during the period amounted to 1,493 MSEK (1,351). Cash flow for the period, after investing and financing 
activities, amounted to 1,048 MSEK (1,082), affected by a higher dividend and acquisitions. 
At the end of the quarter, the inventory value was 2,281 MSEK (2,324). Inventory was affected by increased efficiency in inventory 
management, lower purchase prices and currencies as well as higher sales during the quarter. This has been offset by additional stores, a n 
expanded product range and acquired operations. 
The Group’s net debt, meaning interest bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents, amounted to -184 MSEK (558). Excluding the 
effect of IFRS 16 the Group’s net cash position was 2,057 MSEK (1,252). Excluding the effect of IFRS 16 net debt in relation to EBITDA 
was -1.3 times (-1.0). Credits granted and loan commitments amounted to 600 MSEK, of which 0 MSEK had been utilised. The 
company’s financial position remains strong and the equity/assets ratio was 38 per cent (35). The acquisitions in the third quarter 
were financed through existing cash and cash equivalents.

Investments 
Investments during the quarter amounted to 122 MSEK (26). Of these, 6 MSEK (12) related to investments in new or refurbished stores. 
Investments in IT systems amounted to 14 MSEK (8). Investments in the distribution center amounted to 8 MSEK during the quarter. During 
the third quarter, Phonelife AB and Reservdelaronline Sverige AB were acquired. The initial portion of the purchase price paid amounted to 
108 MSEK, see further information on page 16. 
Investments during the nine-month period amounted to 204 MSEK (105). Of these, 40 MSEK (68) related to investments in new or 
refurbished stores. Investments in IT systems during the period amounted 38 MSEK (17). Investments in the distribution center amounted 19 
MSEK during the period. 
Acquisition of Phonelife AB and Reservdelaronline Sverige AB 
Clas Ohlson has acquired 70% of the shares in Phonelife AB and Reservdelaronline Sverige AB. Phonelife operates online sales of electronic 
products and accessories through the sales channels Phonelife and Teknikmagasinet. Reservdelaronline operates online sales of  spare 
parts through the sales channel Reservdelaronline.se. The acquisition strengthens Clas Ohlson’s offering within electronics, accessories and 
spare parts, while creating additional growth opportunities within the segment with strong underlying demand. The two companies are 
consolidated in the Clas Ohlson Group as of 1 December 2025.  
The acquisitions initially relate to 70% of the shares in the companies, of which 108 MSEK was paid during the third quarter and 40 MSEK will 
be paid during the fourth quarter. This means that the total purchase consideration for 70% of the companies amounts to 148 MSEK . 
Allocated per company, this corresponds to Phonelife 110 MSEK, including an earn-out determined after the end of the third quarter, and 
Reservdelaronline 38 MSEK. See further information on page 16.

Events after the end of the reporting period 
Sales in February 
Net sales amounted to 779 MSEK (715), an increase of 9 per cent, of which 9 per cent related to organic growth2, 2 per cent acquisition and 
-2 per cent to currency effects. Compared with the same month of the preceding year, the store network increased by a net of 6 stores. The 
total number of stores at the end of the period was 244 (238). For more information about the store network, refer to page 24.  
Total net sales for the period May 2025-February 2026 amounted to 10,683 MSEK (9,999), an increase of 7 per cent, of which 9 per cent 
related to organic growth2, 1 per cent acquisition and -2 per cent to currency effects.
 
Other information 
Parent Company 
Parent Company net sales for the financial year amounted to 7,755 MSEK (7,118) and profit after financial items amounted to 1,081 MSEK 
(764). The increase in profit is primarily attributable to higher sales. Investments during the year amounted to 86 MSEK (72). 
Employees 
The number of employees in the Group was approximately 5,200. Recalculated to average full-time equivalents (FTEs) in the quarter, this 
corresponds to an average of 3,128 (3,082). The difference compared to the year-earlier period is mainly related to new stores and 
acquired companies. 
Seasonal fluctuations 
Clas Ohlson’s market and operations are influenced by consumer purchasing behaviour. The company’s product range is particula rly well 
suited to Christmas preparations and Christmas shopping, which means that the third quarter (November-January) is generally the 
strongest quarter of the financial year. This is followed by the second and first quarters and, finally, the fourth quarter, which is the weakest in 
terms of sales and profit. 
Nomination Committee and the 2026 Annual General Meeting 
The members of the Nomination Committee were appointed based on the ownership structure at 30 September 202 5. Malin Persson,

Notes to consolidated financial statements  
Note 1 Accounting policies 
Clas Ohlson applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as well as interpretations from the IFRS Interpretatio ns Committee 
(IFRS IC) adopted by the EU. This interim report has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, IAS 34 Inter im 
Financial Reporting, and RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups. Disclosures according to IAS 34 Interim Financial R eporting 
are provided both in notes and elsewhere in the interim report. The parent company's reporting is prepared according to the Swedish 
Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, accounting for legal entities. The same  
accounting principles as for the Group are applied except in cases specified under the section "Parent Company’s Accounting Principles" in 
the Annual Report for 2024/25. 
For the Group's financial statements, the same accounting principles and calculation methods are applied as in the Annual Report for 
2024/25. No new or revised IFRS standards and interpretations that apply from May 1, 2025, have had any significant effect on the Group's 
financial reports.  
Change in the presentation of the financial statements 
In conformity with IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”, Clas Ohlson Group has revised its presentation of  income statement from 
the function of expense method to the nature of expense method. The change took effect as of the interim report for the first quarter of 
2025/26. 
This change has been made to better reflect how management reviews and manages operational performance, meaning simplified 
processes and ways of working. Furthermore, this is expected to enable clearer information regarding significant cost categories. 
To ensure comparability, the income statement for comparative period and quarters 2024/25 have been restated to reflect this change. 
Restated figures are presented below, as well as for additional periods and for the parent company on Clas Ohlson’s website 
about.clasohlson.com 
The switch from the function of expense method to nature of expense method has no impact on Clas Ohlson’s net sales and operating 
result, and consequently no impact on the company’s financial targets. 
The main effects are attributable to the reallocation of sourcing and supply costs and affects gross margin. Costs related to the handling 
and distribution of products were previously included in cost of goods sold under the function of expense method. Following the transition, 
these costs have been reallocated primarily to the categories of personnel expenses, other external expenses, and 
depreciation/amortisation and write-down of tangible and intangible assets.

Note 5 Business acquisitions 
Financial year 2025/26 
Clas Ohlson Group has acquired 70% of the shares in Phonelife AB, with closing date on 25 November 2025. The initial purchase 
consideration paid amounted to 70 MSEK. A further 40 MSEK will be paid during the fourth quarter (earn-out for the period September–
December 2025). Both Clas Ohlson and the respective non-controlling shareholders can invoke a purchase or a sale through call and put 
options. The remaining 30% of the shares will be acquired after three years at 10x EBITA based on the outcome for 2028. As a result, a  
liability to management has been recognised amounting to 147 MSEK. Consequently, Clas Ohlson does not recognise any non-controlling 
interest within equity. The purchase price for 100% of the shares has been calculated at 217 MSEK. 
Clas Ohlson Group has acquired 70% of the shares in Reservdelaronline Sverige AB, with closing date on 25 November 2025. The initial 
purchase consideration paid amounted to 38 MSEK. Both Clas Ohlson and the respective non-controlling shareholders can invoke a 
purchase or a sale through call and put options. The remaining 30% of the shares will be acquired after three years at 8x EBITDA based on 
the outcome for 2028. As a result, a liability to management has been recognised amounting to 33 MSEK. The purchase price for 100% of 
the shares has been calculated at 70 MSEK. 
Both acquisitions are additional acquisitions to Clas Ohlson’s subsidiary Spares Nordic AB and were financed with existing cash and cash 
equivalents. 
Phonelife conducts online sales of electronic products and accessories through the sales channels Phonelife and Teknikmagasinet. 
Reservdelaronline conducts online sales of spare parts through the sales channel Reservdelaronline.se. Both companies will co ntinue to be 
operated as separate entities under a decentralised structure and are consolidated in the Clas Ohlson Group as of 1 December 2025.  
Phonelife was founded in 2012 and has grown rapidly in recent years, particularly following the acquisition of Teknikmagasine t in 2024. The 
product range comprises approximately 26,000 electronic and accessory products. Sales are made through Phonelife and 
Teknikmagasinet to customers in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. The company has 30 employees.  
Reservdelaronline has operated under its current business model since 2017. The company primarily sells spare parts for garde n machinery 
and lawnmowers via its e-commerce site and offers approximately 8,000 items in-stock assortment, as well as access to more than 
100,000 products in the extended assortment. The company has seven employees. 
The acquisitions of Phonelife AB and Reservdelaronline Sverige AB contributed 43 MSEK to the Group’s net sales during the quarter. Had 
the acquisitions been consolidated from the beginning of the fiscal year, the contribution to the Group’s net sales would have been 203 
MSEK. Acquisition-related costs of 2 MSEK are included in other external expenses. 
In the preliminary allocation of the purchase price, identifiable assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. Fair value adjustments, in 
addition to goodwill, have been identified in trademarks and customer relationships. These have been valued at 35 MSEK and are subject to 
amortisation and deferred tax. The difference between the purchase price and the acquired net assets, including trademarks and customer 
relationships, was recognised as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment. Such impairment of goodwill is 
not considered to be tax deductible. 
The table below presents the fair values according to the preliminary acquisition analysis. 
 
 
Financial year 2023/24 
During the financial year 2023/24, Spares Europe AB and its subsidiaries were acquired. At the acquisition date, 91.4% of the shares in 
Spares Europe AB were acquired. A call and put option for the remaining shares was agreed upon, which can be exercised by either Clas 
Ohlson or the other shareholders after the financial year 2025/26. Consequently, a liability to the other shareholders amounting to 40.5 
MSEK has been recognized, as detailed in Note 6.
