Kristofer Tonström, CEO and President: After a strong November, we received further confirmation during December that customers perceive Clas Ohlson as a relevant Christmas destination. Customer traffic to our stores increased, the Christmas assortment sold well and demand for energy-saving products remained strong. In a challenging market climate, total sales increased by two per cent compared to the previous year, and organic sales were unchanged. The outcome online for December should be seen in the light of the strong development in November, where more efficient e-commerce logistics enabled for more or less all Black Friday sales to be delivered to customer, and reported, in November. We continue to be affected by consumers' more need-based consumption patterns in combination with them waiting for campaigns and sales, as well as by high purchasing prices, transportation costs and a weak Swedish krona. Our work with cost-saving measures is progressing according to plan.
