According to the Company's preliminary results for the first quarter, Qliro's EBT amounts to SEK 1,1 million (-8.6). By reason of this, the Company has decided to publish a trading update for the first quarter of 2023. The Company’s EBT is still expected to be positive for the full year 2023 but may vary over the remaining quarters.
The improved result is mainly due to the profitability program initiated by Qliro in 2022. As part of the program, Qliro executed on several initiatives for efficiency improvements and digitalization of the operations to drive operational excellence while also creating room to invest in the commercial organization to enable increased growth.
As part of the efficiency improvements, the organization has been strengthened, external suppliers renegotiated and office space reduced. Within the digitalization initiatives, the Company has focused on customer communication and the implementation of new systems and processes in operations, sales, and finance.
