OUTLOOK AND SUMMARY
OUTLOOK ‒ Following a weak consumer market during the first half of 2017, we expect the Swedish market to return to a more normal development of modest positive growth in the second half of 2017. Uncertainty remains in both the Finnish and Norwegian market ‒ We plan to continue grow through online sales and stores, and expect to meet our goal to open 8 to 12 new stores in 2017. This includes two stores to trial the smaller Byggmax store format in smaller towns ‒ Focus forward to implement the updated strategy, and implementation has started according to plan 23
SUMMARY
Net sales increased 2% following strong comparables
Strong and improved profitability, EBITDA margin +0.7%-points
Implementation of new strategy started as planned
