CEO Andreas Niss comments:
We have despite facing very tough comparable numbers from Q4 2020 managed to grow sales, gross margins and profits for the quarter. Our growth is driven by a continuous gain in market shares in B2B and gross margins and profits derive from better category management and sales execution in stores. For the full year I am pleased with that we managed to outperform 2020 which proves that we have established our business at a higher level. Our market position has never been stronger and with our new adventure in Sweden we see great potential in pushing the bar for growth even higher.
