revenues from late November as our delayed Christmas assortment arrived -

resulting in a top line growth of +2.5% for the quarter. I proudly note that we

also managed to increase our gross margin despite the challenging logistics

situation. Consequently, we passed the NOK 3 billion revenue milestone for the

fiscal year and delivered the 7th consecutive quarter with year-on-year EPS

growth.", says CEO Anders Fjeld.
