“We achieved 63% net sales growth in Q4 and 63% for the full year 2020 with an adjusted EBITA margin of 27%. This is a result we are pleased with since it shows that the investments we made in both organization and platform in 2019 immediately gave us leverage in both growth and profitability.

We remain positive about 2021: following great momentum at the start of the year, we expect growth from existing as well as new markets, while realizing synergies from the acquisition.”

- Fredrik Palm, CEO Desenio Group
