## Risks

Desenio is exposed to demand swings in consumer discretionary spending, foreign-exchange volatility, and execution risk in digital marketing. Because the business sells across many currencies and markets, weaker demand or a less efficient acquisition mix can quickly affect sales and operating performance.

- **Foreign exchange volatility** [high] — A large share of sales is in EUR, GBP, and USD while reporting is in SEK.
- **Consumer demand softness** [high] — Wall art is discretionary and sensitive to household spending and sentiment.
- **Marketing execution risk** [high] — Revenue depends on paid digital acquisition and efficient campaign mix.
- **Liquidity and leverage risk** [high] — The company has used debt financing and must manage refinancing and covenant pressure.
- **Goodwill impairment** [medium] — Acquisitions and restructuring can leave goodwill exposed if cash flows underperform.

- Consumer demand can weaken in core home-decor markets
- FX swings affect SEK-reported sales and margins
- Marketing efficiency is critical to traffic and conversion
- Cross-border e-commerce adds compliance and logistics risk
- Goodwill and brand values can face impairment risk

## Accounting

Revenue is recognized when control of the goods transfers, typically at delivery to the customer or carrier, and returns are estimated using historical data. The company also has material judgment areas in goodwill impairment testing, lease accounting, foreign-currency translation, and alternative performance measures such as adjusted EBIT.

- **Revenue recognition and returns** — Affects net sales and refund liabilities
- **Goodwill impairment testing** — Can create large non-cash write-downs
- **Lease accounting** — Affects EBITDA, debt-like obligations, and depreciation
- **Foreign currency translation** — Moves reported revenue and operating results
- **Alternative performance measures** — Important for trend analysis and valuation

- Revenue recognized at point of transfer for goods sold online
- Return reserves reduce revenue based on historical return patterns
- Goodwill impairment testing depends on cash-flow and discount-rate assumptions
- Lease accounting affects warehouse and office commitments
- Foreign-currency translation matters because most sales are non-SEK
