Continued customer success in priority areas

  • StrongPoint ALS in UK signed two contracts with leading grocery retailers.
  • Contract with leading Do-It-Yourself retail chain in the Baltics for software delivery project.
  • All time high installation level of Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL) in a single quarter in Sweden.

Further progress on 2025 strategic ambitions

  • Well aligned with the 2025 revenue growth path. Grocery retail proves to be noncyclical and resilient.
  • ALS well integrated, enabling sales opportunities from the combined solutions.
  • Long-term positive fundamentals and outlook for e-groceries, although short-term turmoil, hence adjusting investments from e-commerce to in-store whilst enacting strong cost prudence.

Importance of ALS acquisition to StrongPoint

  • Financially comes across as a very sound and highly accretive acquisition
  • Added potential from 'exporting' their 'swivel' checkout – enabling a manned check-out to become a selfservice solution – and checkout refurbishment offering

  • Installing world's first multitemperature grid with ambient, chilled and now frozen food automation.
  • Successful execution of e-commerce strategy and partnership with AutoStore.
