CEO Magnus Brännström comments
“We are pleased to report double-digit growth in both Euro and local currency with healthy profitability improvements and a strong financial position. During the quarter, our strategic priorities continued to serve as important drivers of growth. CIS experienced local currency growth in the quarter, driven by ongoing productivity increases and positive timing. Asia & Turkey and Latin America were affected by fewer trading days and negative timing of catalogues ­– the underlying performance remained strong. The positive sales momentum for the Group has continued into the third quarter, in which Oriflame celebrates its 50th anniversary Gold Conference.”
