Co-Founder & CEO Hermann Haraldsson says: "A challenging year has come to an end - a year where we had to work hard to deliver continued growth, while remaining top-of-class in our industry in terms of profitability. Growth in 2024 was mainly driven by our ability to attract new customers to our sites, and I firmly believe this is a result of our relentless focus on delivering a sublime online version of the traditional department store. We now look forward to 2025 with excitement, believing it will be another year of profitable growth, driven by market share gains and increasing profitability, supported by continued efficiencies across the value chain."
