## Strategy

It is also focused on scaling its assortment presentation, marketplace presence, and operational execution through data, technology, and localization.

- **Be world-class in everything we do** (medium-term) — Operational excellence supports customer satisfaction and efficient scaling.
- **Capture selected marketplace opportunities** (medium-term) — Third-party platforms extend reach and add incremental demand beyond owned channels.

- Scale marketplace opportunities, especially Amazon
- Use data and technology to improve commercial and operational execution

## Risks

Rugvista is exposed to cyclical demand risk because rugs are discretionary purchases that can be deferred when household purchasing power weakens. Its supply chain depends on external manufacturers, wholesalers, logistics partners, and production countries such as India and Turkey, which creates exposure to geopolitical disruption, transport bottlenecks, and quality issues.

- **Macroeconomic demand weakness** [high] — Rugs are infrequently purchased goods and can be postponed when income or confidence falls.
- **Geopolitical and trade disruption** [high] — A meaningful share of products originates from higher-risk sourcing countries and shipping routes.
- **Supplier and partner dependence** [medium] — The business relies on wholesalers, factories, payment providers, and logistics firms.
- **Warehouse and ERP disruption** [medium] — The Malmö logistics center is central to inventory handling, shipping, and returns.

- Demand can weaken in recessions as rugs are discretionary purchases
- Geopolitical risk affects sourcing from Turkey, Afghanistan, and India
- Supply chain disruptions can delay deliveries and raise transport costs
- Dependence on third-party suppliers and logistics providers adds execution risk
- Malmö logistics center concentration creates operational and inventory risk

## Accounting

The main accounting judgments for Rugvista relate to goodwill impairment testing, where future cash flows and discount assumptions can materially affect reported asset values. Lease accounting is also relevant because the group uses premises, forklifts, and vehicles under lease contracts, and revenue and working capital recognition depend on payment intermediaries and customer settlement timing.

- **Goodwill impairment** — Can materially affect balance sheet carrying values and impairment charges
- **Lease accounting** — Affects EBITDA, depreciation, interest expense, and leverage metrics
- **Revenue recognition through payment intermediaries** — Can affect timing of revenue-related receivables and cash conversion

- Goodwill impairment testing depends on cash flow and discount assumptions
- Lease accounting affects right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
- Receivables are recognized when payment intermediary rights become unconditional
- Inventory and logistics assets are important because of the warehouse model
- Estimates for future revenues and operating expenses affect valuation judgments
