Comments from CEO, Peter Kjellberg

"The initiated transformation journey toward becoming the number one shopping destination in the Nordic region continues. In the previous interim report, we introduced several activities to stimulate our growth, and halfway through the year we are starting to see the effects.

For the last two quarters we have seen a growth in CDON marketplace GMW, in total 2%. During the second quarter, CDON marketplace GMV grew by 1% compared to the same period last year. We continue to perform better than the e-commerce market in general, which is declining in several categories compared to the same period last year.

The number of active shoppers has increased in comparison to the last two quarters. The number of active Nordic merchants continues to grow at a steady pace. During the second quarter, we reached a record high. June was an especially strong month, with a high number of newly signed merchants.

We are now taking the next step in our strategic development, to further strengthen our growth ambitions and fulfilling our vision of becoming the number one shopping destination in the Nordics.

We look forward to an eventful second half of 2022, as we continue to lay a solid foundation for profitable growth."
