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 +8.4% Net sales growth 35.6% Gross margin +10.2% Underlying EBIT growth 3 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.

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. 4 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.

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 Change, % Oct 2012– Sep 2013 Jul–Sep 2013 Sweden Jan–Sep 2012 Rolling 12 months 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. 6 CANDYKING INTERIM REPORT JULY–SEPTEMBER 2013 The Board of Directors certifies that this interim report provides a fair and accurate review of the operations, financial position and earnings of the Parent Company and the Group and that it describes the significant risks and uncertainties facing the Parent Company and the companies included in the Group.

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.

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. 18 CANDYKING INTERIM REPORT JULY–SEPTEMBER 2013 Accounting policies continued PROFIT AND LOSS SEGMENTS MSEK Sweden Third quarter Jul–Sep 2013 Jul–Sep 2012 First nine months Change, % Jan–Sep 2013 Jan–Sep 2012 Full year Change, % Jan–Dec 2012 12.5 11.8 6.0 37.1 32.8 13.2 54.6 Denmark, Finland and Norway 8.5 10.0 –15.4 30.6 35.0 –12.4 45.4 Other markets 3.9 0.8 416.4 1.8 –8.1 – –9.6 Underlying operating profit 24.8 22.5 10.2 69.5 59.7 16.5 90.4 Non recurring items –3.0 –10.0 –69.6 –13.0 –23.1 –43.7 –37.5 Operating profit 21.8 12.6 73.3 56.5 36.6 54.4 52.9 –22.9 –11.9 93.1 –97.7 –66.1 47.8 –112.9 –1.1 0.7 – –41.2 –30 39.6 –60 1.1 –1.7 – 7.4 9.7 –23.8 32.2 0.0 –0.9 – –33.8 –19.8 70.9 –27.8 Net financial items Profit (loss) before tax Taxes Net profit (loss) for the period Other comprehensive income Items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss Exchange differences from translation of foreign operations –15.8 –13.1 19.9 –26.2 –14.2 85.3 –4.2 Total comprehensive income, net of tax –15.7 –14.1 11.7 –60.0 –33.9 76.9 –32.0 19 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.

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.
