* Operating profit adjusted for special items related to strategy planning, geographical expansion and taxes from previous financial years, totaling EUR 0.2 million for 7-9/2020 and EUR -0.6 million for 1-9/2020 (7-9/2019: EUR 0.0 million, 1-9/2019: EUR 0.0 million and 1-12/2019: EUR 0.1 million).

CEO Juha Kalliokoski:

"With regards to the corona pandemic, the third quarter saw people's shopping behavior and mobility becoming partially normalized while concentrating within domestic borders in all our operating countries. This was reflected in the used car market, which grew in Finland, Sweden, and Germany. We achieved very profitable growth in all three markets. Our strengths and key enablers of growth include our digitally focused operating model and cross-selling. In changing situations, our ability to react quickly and to have comprehensive knowledge of the market dynamics are also crucial.

Kamux's revenue increased by 13.5% and the adjusted operating profit by 44.0%. In Finland, the operating profit increased to 8.2% (6.9) of revenue. In Sweden, the operating profit grew significantly compared to the previous year, amounting to EUR 1.4 million (0.5). In Germany, the operating profit was positive for the first time since starting operations in the market. Return on equity was 27.0% (24.9).

The purchasing market was challenging in the summer. As new car sales picked up in September, the availability of used cars in the market improved. We systematically increased our inventory towards the end of the third quarter. At the same time, in our purchasing activities, we took into account the seasonal variation typical of the used car sales, where the active sales of the summer season level off towards the end of the year.

The future impacts of the corona pandemic are not yet known, but the year 2020 has demonstrated that Kamux's concept is working and that we are able to respond quickly even to significant changes in the operating environment.

We appointed Aleksandar Amann as Country Director of Kamux Germany in September. He took up his post at the beginning of November. Mr. Amann has extensive business experience in used car retail, including car sales, purchasing, logistics, and leading large-scale processes and business operations."

Outlook and financial targets

Kamux does not provide a short-term outlook. The company's medium-term annual financial targets for 2019-2022 are to increase revenue by over 10% and to reach an operating profit margin of at least 4% as well as a dividend payout of at least 30% of the profit for the financial year.

The global corona pandemic and the restrictions and regulations related to it have caused significant changes to Kamux's operating environment, leading to the company publishing a stock exchange release on March 20, 2020, informing that it is not likely that Kamux will reach its medium-term targets in 2020. No changes have been made to the medium-term targets set by the Board of Directors because of the situation.

Publication schedule for financial reporting in 2021
