“During a year characterised by geopolitical and economic uncertainty, Kjell continued to grow profitably in 2022. In the fourth quarter, we noted greater caution among customers and saw a decline in sales during the Christmas shopping period. Nevertheless, we succeeded in maintaining our gross margin compared with the preceding year and received further confirmation of the strength of our own brands, which continued to grow. Our cash flow was also very strong in the quarter”, says Andreas Rylander, CEO Kjell Group.
