Events after the period and outlook

  • We expect the trend from the last quarters to continue, and we do expect moderately higher growth in Q2 than we saw in Q1.
  • Cost of freight, shift in SOB to B2B and growth in EV chargers put pressure on GM %. To balance growth and gross margin will be of the greatest importance in Q2
  • There continues to be some uncertainty around availability of products but we have secured availability of Namron products for the coming months and do not foresee any major supplychain challenges
