## Risks

The main risks come from fashion demand volatility, inventory and sourcing execution, and the integration of acquired brands and retail chains. The company also faces normal apparel-industry exposure to returns, markdowns, credit risk on receivables, and foreign exchange effects from operating across multiple markets.

- **Fashion demand and assortment risk** [high] — Apparel demand is seasonal and style-driven, so weak collections can hurt sell-through.
- **Acquisition integration risk** [high] — The model relies on buying and integrating brands and retail chains.
- **Inventory valuation risk** [high] — Fashion goods can become obsolete or require markdowns if demand weakens.
- **Return and revenue estimation risk** [medium] — Online customers can return purchases and revenue includes variable consideration estimates.
- **Foreign exchange risk** [medium] — The group sells across multiple markets and reports in Danish kroner.

- Fashion demand can shift quickly, affecting sell-through and assortment planning
- Acquisition integration can disrupt operations or dilute expected synergies
- Inventory markdowns and obsolescence are structural apparel risks
- Online sales create return risk and variable revenue estimates
- Multi-market trading increases foreign exchange and credit exposure

## Accounting

Revenue is recognized when control of goods passes to customers, with discounts, bonuses, and expected returns estimated under variable consideration rules. The company also relies on significant judgment for goodwill impairment, inventory net realizable value, lease accounting, and expected credit losses on receivables, all of which can materially affect reported earnings and balance-sheet values.

- **Revenue recognition and returns** — Affects reported revenue and gross margin
- **Inventory valuation** — Can create write-downs and margin pressure
- **Goodwill impairment** — Can produce non-cash impairment charges
- **Lease accounting** — Affects balance sheet leverage and operating profit presentation
- **Expected credit losses** — Can affect bad-debt expense and receivable carrying values

- Revenue recognized on transfer of control for goods sold
- Returns and discounts reduce revenue through variable consideration estimates
- Inventory carried at lower of cost and net realizable value
- Goodwill is tested for impairment, not amortized
- Lease liabilities and right-of-use assets affect leverage and EBITDA metrics
- Expected credit loss model applies to receivables
