report for the first quarter of 2023.

Key financial highlights

extended assortment was MNOK 6.4 during the quarter, and the initial launch is

considered successful both online and in pilot stores.

· Gross margin decreased by 5.2 percentage points to 56.0% due to sale of

goods purchased last year at high freight rates without corresponding price

adjustments fully effective. Our target of a stable gross margin in line with

the past 10 years for the full year 2023 remains unchanged.

increased on the back of rental index adjustments, cost related to relocation of
