CANDYKING INTERIM REPORT JULY–SEPTEMBER 2013
CEO’s comments
Candyking posted a net sales growth of 8.4% in the third quarter. The
growth was primarily attributable to new customers in the segments
Other markets and Sweden, as well as growth among existing customers, mainly in Norway. It was particularly pleasing to note growth in
all three segments and that Sweden returned to growth after a period
of slightly weaker market conditions. This spring’s roll-out in IKEA’s
European stores affected the quarter positively and we are expecting
a future growth in sales and full year effects during next year with this
customer. Candyking is also engaged in exciting discussions with
new potential customers, mainly within the segment Other markets.
during the year. We have also acted to increase the offerings’ flexibility
to facilitate a more tailored solution to a wider target group. Now that
the lion’s share of these activities has been implemented, Candyking’s
resources will increasingly be redeployed towards achieving continued
growth and concept innovation.
David von Laskowski,
Chief Executive Officer
The underlying EBIT increased in the third quarter with 10.2%. This
was partly attributable to the increase in net sales and partly due to
lower costs as a result of the cost-saving programme implemented
in 2012 and 2013.
Our initiatives in Central and Eastern Europe continue, although the
impact on earnings has been negative in the short term.
For most of 2012 and 2013, the focus has been on efficiency enhancements and structural change. We expect positive full-year effects in
the forthcoming year from the cost-saving measures implemented

CANDYKING INTERIM REPORT JULY–SEPTEMBER 2013
The Group’s development
Volume
Volume in the third quarter rose 12.8% year-on-year. All segments
reported growth, with the strongest increase noted in the Other markets
segment.
Volume in the first nine months rose 5.1% year-on-year. Growth was
mainly attributable to the Denmark, Finland & Norway segment as
well as to Other markets. Sweden has experienced a soft development
due to weaker demand.
Net sales
A year-on-year increase of 8.4% was posted for net sales during the
third quarter. Net sales increased 8.7% measured at fixed exchange
rates. The increase was attributable to growth in all segments, driven
by new customers. The increase in net sales was 4.4 percentage
points lower than the increase in volume. The difference was mainly
due to most of the growth being driven by certain customers in the
Other markets segment, where full in-store service was not included.
In the first nine months, net sales increased 0.2% year-on-year,
corresponding to an increase of 1.8% measured in fixed exchange rates.
The increase was primarily attributable to new customers in the Other
markets segment, offsetting a weak sales development in Sweden.

Gross margin
The gross margin declined to 35.6% in the third quarter of 2013, compared with 35.8% for the corresponding period in 2012. The decline in the
gross margin derived primarily from growth in customers generating
a lower gross margin, due to an offering that did not include full
in-store service.
In the first nine months, the gross margin increased 1.4 percentage
points year-on-year to 36.5% (35.1%), due to assortment launches and
enhanced purchasing procedures.
Underlying EBIT
The underlying EBIT for the third quarter increased to MSEK 24.8 compared with MSEK 22.5 for the corresponding year-earlier period. The
improvement was primarily attributable to increased volumes in all
segments combined with lower costs. The initiatives in Central and
Eastern Europe negatively impacted the underlying EBIT by MSEK 3.1
(neg: 2.4) in the third quarter.
The underlying EBIT for the first nine months increased to MSEK
69.5, compared with MSEK 59.7 for the corresponding year-earlier
period, representing an increase of 16.5%. The increase was primarily
attributable to a higher gross margin combined with the effects of the
implemented cost-saving programme. The initiatives in Central and
Eastern Europe negatively impacted the underlying EBIT by MSEK 10.2
(neg: 9.8) in the first nine months.
Profit (loss) for the period
Net profit for the third quarter was MSEK 0.0 compared with a loss of
MSEK 0.9 for the corresponding year-earlier period. The improvement
in earnings was due to the increase in operating profit. Financial
expenses increased MSEK 11.0, which was due to revaluations of
shareholder and mezzanine loans in EUR, which negatively impacted
earnings for the period.
Net profit for the first nine months was a loss of MSEK 33.8 compared
with a loss of MSEK 19.8 for the corresponding year-earlier period.
The decline was primarily due to increased financial expenses in the
January–September period.

CANDYKING INTERIM REPORT JULY–SEPTEMBER 2013
The Group’s development
Cash flow from operating and investing activities
Financial position
Cash flow from operating and investing activities for the third quarter was MSEK 1.7 compared with MSEK 17.2 for the corresponding
year-earlier period. The lower cash flow was mainly due to changes
in working capital, which primarily resulted from increased higher
receivables due to a rise in net sales.
Cash flow from operating and investing activities in the first nine
months was MSEK 36.0, compared with MSEK 77.6 for the year-earlier
period. The decline was mainly due to an increase of MSEK 29.6 in
investments in tangible and intangible assets, which resulted from an
increased pace of expansion, the launch of new display solutions in
selected markets and renewed customer contracts.
Net debt at 30 September 2013 was SEK 721.4 M (748.0), compared
with net debt of MSEK 702.1 at 31 December 2012. Cash and cash
equivalents, excluding unutilised overdraft facilities, at the end of the
period amounted to MSEK 4.5 (4.1).
Investments, amortisation and depreciation
In the third quarter of 2013, investments declined year-on-year by MSEK
3.2 to MSEK 6.0 (9.2). The decline was primarily due to installations
and the exchange of display solutions being performed at different
times between the years. Depreciation and amortisation for the
period increased MSEK 4.4 year-on-year due to an increased pace of
expansion and renewed customer contracts.
In the first nine months of 2013, investments also increased by MSEK
29.6 compared with the year-earlier period due to an increased pace of
expansion, the launch of new display solutions in selected markets and
renewed customer contracts. The MSEK 11.8 increase in amortisation
and depreciation in the first nine months of 2013 compared with the
corresponding period in 2012 resulted from the higher investment
level in latter year.

In the third quarter, volumes in Sweden increased 5.8% year-onyear. The increase was primarily attributable to new customers
and successful campaigns. Net sales rose 2.4%, corresponding to a
volume increase of 5.8%, with the difference in growth primarily due
to a changed customer and concept mix. Underlying EBIT rose 6.0%
compared with the year-earlier period, primarily driven by increased
net sales combined with lower fixed costs.
Weak market conditions, primarily in the first six months of the
year, negatively impacted the financial performance for the first nine
months, during which volume and net sales declined 3.1% and 5.8%,
respectively. Underlying EBIT increased 13.2% year-on-year, primarily
driven by increased cost efficiency.
Denmark, Finland & Norway
In the third quarter, volumes rose 7.6% and net sales increased 6.4%
year-on-year. The increases were mainly due to a rise in campaign
volumes in Norway. The underlying EBIT declined 15.4%, primarily
due to increased amortisation of intangible assets due to renewed
customer contracts.
Volume rose 5.5% in the first nine months in parallel with an increase
of 0.8% in net sales. All markets in the segment reported increased volumes through higher sales to existing customers. Net sales increased
less than volume, which was mainly due to changes in the customer
mix. The reason for this was that Candyking lost a customer tender
process in Norway during 2011, which negatively impacted sales as of

June 2012. The underlying EBIT declined 12.4%, primarily as a result of
increased amortisation of intangible assets due to renewed customer
contracts and the account lost in Norway in 2012.
Other markets
In the third quarter, volumes rose 37.2% year-on-year, which was
mainly attributable to one new major international customer and
a new concept (Candyking Favourites). Net sales increased 30.1%
during the period, with the difference in comparison to volume growth
being due to new customers, for whom full in-store service was not
included. Underlying EBIT rose 3.1% year-on-year, primarily driven
by high volume growth. The initiatives in Central and Eastern Europe
negatively impacted the underlying EBIT for the segment by MSEK 3.1
(neg: 2.4) in the quarter.
In the first nine months, year-on-year growth in volume and net sales
was 28.8% and 20.6%, respectively. Growth was attributable to new
customers, primarily one new major international customer. Underlying
EBIT was positively impacted by higher volumes and increased by MSEK
9.9 compared with the year-earlier period. The initiatives in Central
and Eastern Europe negatively impacted the underlying EBIT for the
segment by MSEK 10.2 (neg: 9.8) for the first nine months.

Report of Review of
Interim Financial Information
Introduction
We have reviewed this report for the period January 1 to September 30 2013 for Candyking Holding AB. The board
of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance
with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report
based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of
Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily
of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on
Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review
do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified
in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not
prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the
Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.

CANDYKING INTERIM REPORT JULY–SEPTEMBER 2013
Accounting policies
Accounting policies
The Candyking Group applies the International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the EU. This interim report has been
prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the
Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting
Rules for Groups.
The Parent Company’s financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities and the Swedish
Annual Accounts Act. The same accounting policies are applied as for
the Group, except in those cases indicated in the section headed “Parent
Company accounting policies” in the 2012 Annual Report, Note 2.20.
For a more detailed description of the accounting policies applied
to the Group and Parent Company in this interim report, refer to the
2012 Annual Report. The same accounting policies are applied as in
the latest annual report except as listed below.
CHANGED ACCOUNITING POLICIES AND THEIR
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Other comprehensive income
As of 1 January 2013, items recognised in other comprehensive income
are presented in two categories depending on whether or not the
items will be reversed in profit and loss in the future.
In Candyking’s consolidated income statement, the only item under
other comprehensive income is exchange-rate differences. This will
subsequently be possible to reverse to profit and loss.
Pension obligations
IFRS regulations pertaining to pension obligations (IAS 19) were
amended with effect from January 2013. However, this has had no
impact on the financial statements, since Candyking’s pension agreements are exclusively defined-contribution plans, with the exception
of one agreement pertaining to a former CEO. The latter agreement
has been settled.
Fair value disclosures for financial instruments
IFRS rules pertaining to the measurement of financial instruments in
interim reports (IFRS 13 and IFRS 7) were amended with effect from
January 2013.
External bank loans carry variable interest rates, and the carrying
amount is assessed as corresponding to the fair value. Although
certain portions of shareholder loans carry fixed interest rates, they
are deemed to correspond to their level of market risk, which is why
the carrying amounts for these are assessed as corresponding to
their fair value.
Financial instruments
Candyking holds derivative instruments in the form of short-term
currency future contracts, which are all measured at fair value, both
initially and on subsequent remeasurements. The measurement is
based on discounted cash flows and on the currency future contracts
being included in level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The gain or loss
that arises from remeasurement is recognised in profit and loss.
Segment reporting
The Board of Directors and Group Management assess and evaluate
operations by operating segment. The division by operating segment
has been based on the operation’s portion of shared risks and opportunities. Candyking considers Sweden; Denmark, Finland including
the Baltics & Norway; and Other markets as operating segments.
The operating segment Sweden comprises the Swedish subsidiary
Candyking Sverige AB’s operations in the Swedish home market, with
the exception of sales to multinational customers. The Swedish market
is established and pick & mix market penetration approximated to
30% of the confectionery market. Because the company’s sales to
multinational customers are in the process of being built up and are
associated with higher risk, they been removed and placed in the
Other markets segment.
The Denmark, Finland & Norway operating segment consists of
Candyking’s operations in the markets in Denmark, Finland (including
the Baltics) and Norway. These are considered established markets,
even if the penetration of pick & mix in these markets has risen faster
than in the Swedish market. Because the basic conditions for these
three markets are similar, they have been gathered into one operating
segment.
The Other markets operating segment includes multinational
customers, exports and operations in new markets where the pick
& mix concept is relatively new and its penetration is less than 5% of
the confectionery market.

CANDYKING INTERIM REPORT JULY–SEPTEMBER 2013
Disclosures and risk factors
Business combinations
In the first six months of 2013, a deposit of MSEK 29 was used to pay the
remaining supplementary purchase consideration for the acquisition of
the Danish subsidiary Tastymix A/S, which took place in January 2011.
Presentation of cash flow
In a change from its presentation in the 2012 Annual Report, Candyking
has moved interest paid and received from cash flow from operating
activities to cash flow from financing activities.
Seasonal variations
Candyking’s volume, net sales and EBIT are partially impacted by
seasonal variations. Sales in the first and second quarters are significantly affected by the quarter in which Easter falls. This effect applies
particularly to Sweden and Norway. In the fourth quarter, sales are
significantly affected by Halloween.
Employees
On average, the number of full-time equivalents (FTEs) declined from
589 for the January-September 2012 period to 543 for the January–
September 2013 period. This was primarily due to the personnel
restructuring programmes implemented in 2012 and 2013.
Significant events during the period
At an extraordinary general (EGM) meeting held on 30 July 2013, the
Board member Niklas Sloutski and the deputy Board members Jannik
Pedersen and Jerker Sundström stepped down, and each of them
was discharged from personal liability. Furthermore, Mats G. Jansson,
Helene Biström and Mats Holgerson were elected new Board members.
The EGM also decided to adopt new Articles of Association, whereby
the minimum number of Board members is five and the maximum
number is ten, with a maximum of three deputy Board members.
Events after the balance-sheet date
No significant events have occurred after the balance-sheet date.
The Candyking share
The share capital consists of 1,114,897 common shares and 12 preference
shares. The shares carry a voting value of one vote per share. All shares
issued by the Parent Company have been paid in full.

Information about related parties
Other than shareholder loans, there were no further related-party
transactions.
Warrants
A warrants programme was adopted at the Annual General Meeting
on 27 February 2013. These warrants are exercisable up till the end
of 2014 and entitle the holder to a share of the company’s profits from
the year in which the shares are issued. Shareholders’ equity in the
company increased TSEK 35.2 in March 2013 through the payment for
the subscription rights by the subscribers.
Taxes
Tax has been calculated in the interim report in line with the same
policies applied in the 2012 annual accounts.
Risks and uncertainties
A number of factors exist that could impact Candyking’s earnings and
operations. All identified risks are continuously followed and most of
the risks and uncertainties are managed through internal procedures
while others are to a greater degree dependent on external factors.
Identified industry and market risks include increased health awareness, negative publicity linked to the brand and increased raw material
prices. Identified operational risks include reduced or lost sales to any
of the major customers, significant dependence on key personnel and
disruptions or faults in the business management system. Identified
financial risks include credit risk, liquidity risk and currency risk. These
are managed in line with the financial policy adopted by the Board.
Candyking’s existing financing matures in the period 2015–2017;
however, as a consequence of the planned IPO, negotiations are
ongoing concerning a new financing solution. The final terms for
the new financing solution may be impacted by changes in market
conditions or if Candyking’s earnings should decline due to unexpected
changes in demand. For further information, please refer to the 2012
Annual Report.
