* Operating profit adjusted for special items related to strategy planning, legal processes and taxes from previous financial years, totaling EUR 0.0 million for the third quarter of 2021 and totaling EUR 3.9 million for 1-9/2021 (7-9/2020: EUR 0.2 million, 1-9/2020: EUR -0.6 million and 1-12/2020: EUR -0.5 million).

CEO Juha Kalliokoski:

"In the third quarter, we continued to grow very strongly in accordance with our strategy. Revenue increased by 22.8% and sales of like-for-like showrooms by 13.9%. In September, we raised our revenue outlook for 2021. According to the updated outlook, the revenue for 2021 is expected to be EUR 850-900 million, whereas the earlier outlook was EUR 800-850 million.

The adjusted operating profit remained below the corresponding period in the previous year and was EUR 10.0 million. It must be noted that the comparison period was exceptional in used car retail. The uncertainties created by the outbreak of the corona pandemic dissipated and the restrictions were cancelled, which boosted sales and profitability strongly in July-September of last year. In the third quarter, inventory turnover developed favorably in the Group.

The used car market declined in all three countries but particularly strongly in Germany. In Germany, the market decline was more pronounced in the northern part of the country, in the greater Hamburg area, where Kamux's showrooms are located. According to our estimate, the market declined in this area by more than 15% in the third quarter. Kamux nevertheless grew in all its markets.

We will continue to focus on our strategic focus areas, such as leading with knowledge and training our personnel particularly in management and leadership. We also aim to further improve customer experience.

The corona pandemic is still a factor affecting Kamux's business. We do not know how the corona pandemic will develop and how it will impact different countries, the economy and people's movement or behavior in the near future. We at Kamux will focus determinedly on implementing the Company's growth strategy despite the uncertainty caused by the corona pandemic."

Outlook for the year 2021

On September 24, 2021, Kamux updated its outlook for 2021. The Company raised its revenue outlook for 2021 while maintaining its outlook for adjusted operating profit unchanged. Kamux's updated outlook for 2021 is as follows: In 2021, Kamux expects its revenue to be EUR 850-900 million. The Company expects its adjusted operating profit to increase from the previous year.

Previously, Kamux expected its revenue to reach EUR 800-850 million in 2021 and its adjusted operating profit to increase from the previous year.

Financial targets for 2021-2023

The Company's medium-term financial targets are to increase revenue by over 20% annually, to increase adjusted operating profit annually, and to reach an adjusted operating profit margin of over 3.5% and a return on equity (ROE) of over 25%. Additionally, the Company's target is to distribute dividends of at least 25% of net profits. The Board of Directors of the Company estimates annually the balance between dividends to be distributed and funds to be used for Kamux's growth and based on this assessment, makes a proposal on the amount of dividends to be distributed, which may for any single year differ significantly from the target level set in the dividend policy.
