Kristofer Tonström, CEO and President: Once again, we are demonstrating the strength of our customer meeting and product offering with an organic sales increase of 9 per cent in the last month of the financial year. As earlier in the year, growth comes from all prioritised product niches. In April, we also saw an extra strong development for cleaning products and this spring's news in gardening products and outdoor living. All markets developed well and we are now looking forward to a new financial year where we will continue to develop all parts of the business.
