Kristofer Tonström, CEO and President: Thanks to high relevance across the assortment, sales grew strongly in all home markets in July. Products that benefited from the warm weather sold particularly well, and the organisation demonstrated flexibility by quickly purchasing more products when demand picked up. As in previous months, the weaker US dollar had a negative impact on Spares' B2B business, which explains the development in other markets. We are now looking forward to an autumn sales period where the focus, as always, will be on working with all parts of the business to create sustainable and profitable growth.
