In 2022, the group succeeded in strengthening its market position through the combination with NetOnNet, where synergy realisation is progressing as planned. Financial performance for the year was impacted by challenging market conditions for online retail across the Nordics. Revenue for the year came in at NOK 14.6 billion, corresponding to a 32.4 per cent growth from the year before, driven by the acquisition of NetOnNet. Adjusted EBIT came in at NOK 87 million, compared with NOK 388 million one year earlier.

Even in a challenging market environment, the group maintained its industry-leading cost position, secured new financing facilities and successfully reduced excess inventory.

"In 2022, the retail industry experienced the effects of overfilled warehouses and corresponding price pressure across the industry. Komplett acted swiftly in response to the inventory build-up and successfully reduced its inventory by NOK 600 million during the year. As we neared the end of the year, our inventory position was healthy, and the gross margins have started to recover. Going forward, we will continue to build on the strong market position that Komplett has in Norway and Sweden as well as realising the potential that lies in the acquisition of NetOnNet," says Komplett ASA CEO Jaan Ivar Semlitsch.

In 2022, Komplett conducted a group-wide materiality assessment which reaffirmed that circularity, tolerance, and environment should remain our top priorities across all our companies.

"We made significant progress in promoting circular business practices in 2022. We also improved our efforts to promote diversity and improved the data quality in our climate accounting. Looking ahead, we remain committed to our ESG goals and will increase our efforts to reduce our climate footprint. In sum, the group is well-placed to continue building on its strong market position and is entering 2023 in a much stronger position than when it entered 2022," says Semlitsch.
