Kristofer Tonström, CEO and President: With a 7 per cent organic sales increase compared with the previous year, we achieved our highest ever monthly sales in December. We hit the spot with our assortment and succeeded in delivering a good customer meeting right up to Christmas Eve. Sales in comparable units developed positively in all home markets, particularly in Norway. However, the strong sales in Norway did not have full impact, as the further weakening of the NOK had a significant negative effect on total sales, which are reported in SEK.
