CEO Magnus Brännström comments
Our continuous efforts to build a stable platform for long term growth are gradually resulting in improved momentum. After a weak trend during the last six quarters we returned to sales force growth during the first quarter. Several initiatives have been implemented to strengthen our total offering and efficiency such as an improved Success Plan in the CIS and the opening of the new Group Distribution Centre in Moscow – while affecting the profitability short term. We continue facing challenges in Europe, however experience encouraging development in the CIS and rest of the World.
