Significant events during and after the end of the quarter

- Kjell & Company was ranked as Sweden’s most sustainable brand in the category “Home Appliances & Electronics – Stores” in the Sustainable Brand Index, Europe’s largest brand study with a focus on sustainability, for the second year in a row.
- After the end of the quarter, Kjell & Company launched an initiative to offer recycling and resale of secondhand phones, tablets and computers in a partnership with ReuseIT, which is part of Elanders Group.
“In the first quarter of 2023, we saw more cautious and price-conscious consumers who in many cases deprioritised external brands with higher price points. On the other hand, our own brands with lower price points continued to grow during the quarter, which was beneficial for our gross margin”, says Andreas Rylander, CEO Kjell Group, and continues:
“During the start of the year, we invested in strengthening the customer offering and new initiatives that will enable us to adapt to more cautious consumers and new purchasing patterns.”
