Comments from Michael Lindskog, CEO

"I am glad that we can yet again report organic net revenue growth combined with continued good profitability."

"That we deliver organic growth despite a challenging macroeconomic climate in the majority of Europe is evidence that we are effectively navigating the market conditions."

"Net revenue for the quarter was SEK 159.6 (127.9) million corresponding to an increase of 24.7% (-9.3%).  The organic net revenue growth was 14.1%."

"During the quarter, we launched our new e-commerce platform in twelve markets and scaled our marketing activities.  In addition to the continued roll out of the platform, the development of the new checkout has continued, and it was released in two markets during the month of October."

"The quality and volume of content we are publishing across our channels continue to take steps forward and we are convinced that this improves and strengthens our customer offering both in the short and long term."

"Our strategic KPI:s developed well during the quarter where the number of orders and the number of new customers grew by 43% and 53% respectively compared to last year.  The average NPS value was 68 (72) and continues to be at a very high level."

"I am happy and proud of our performance during the third quarter, but the outlook for the rest of the year is uncertain. We remain focused on effectively navigating the market and are looking forward to continuing to deliver on our strategic agenda as well as executing our commercial plan for this year's peak season."
