Apotea delivered a strong operating profit and stable growth in the first quarter. Our growth focus remains firm, and we have recently launched some of the initiatives we have been working on - including expanded our offering of refrigerated deliveries of pharmaceuticals and increased the number of free delivery options available to our customers. We have also just soft launched our beauty and health assortment in Norway under the Apotea brand. This is an exciting initiative that we hope to scale up gradually.
