Kristofer Tonström, CEO and President: We increased sales above our long-term growth target also in the second month of the financial year. Sales in comparable units increased by 3 per cent and organic sales growth was 6 per cent. The work to increase the relevance of the product offering was continuously successful with a sales increase broadly distributed across the assortment with growth in four of five prioritised product niches. We are now continuing our work on our various growth initiatives to maintain the positive momentum we have created. Given challenges in the external environment, among other things related to currency effects, our focus on creating efficiency and competitiveness at all levels remains of great importance.
