To our shareholders
2020 started off with business as usual. Coming into middle of March we experienced a rapid decrease in customer traffic due to the first lock down of Norwegian schools and workplaces. We had to swiftly adapt to the situation and took immediate action to reduce costs and inventory. From April the situation again was turned around and we saw increased customer traffic and demand of our products. Following up with a summer where vacation became "staycation" we continued to see higher demand from old and new customers.
Going into autumn and winter we managed to keep a positive momentum on sales. Good campaign management together with focus on our omnichannel customer journey enabled us to finish off the year at a high.
Elektroimportøren have had a year of improved performance across all categories, customer groups and sales channels. We have made a lot of new customers, and increased loyalty with our existing customers.
None of this would have been possible without the excellent work from our people. Throughout the year they have shown that they are able to rapidly adapt to new circumstances and whilst doing so, staying focused on what matters the most, keeping our customers happy.
Yours sincerly Andreas Niss CEO

Events after the period and outlook
We started January with a successful campaign following the relocation of our store at Lade in Trondheim. After new covid-19 restrictions late January, we had to close our store in Ski and partly close Alnabru and Moss. We managed to adopt quickly to the new situation and we have through digital solutions and increased on site deliveries managed to keep these three stores running at a healthy pace. January ended somewhat higher in turnover than expected.
Going into 2021 we expected a year of modest growth, with the highest growth rate expected in Q1. We still expect higher growth in the 1st quarter compared to Q2 – Q4. We also expect the good development of EV chargers to continue in 2021. Even though gross margins in this category are lower than our average margins it gives a good contribution to our bottom line and drives sales of other products where we enjoy higher margins. Throughout the year we will continue to focus on further developing our omnichannel customer journey, strengthen our position within the B2B market and seek for possibilities to open new stores in attractive areas.
