  • Revenue in July amounted to SEK 448 million, an increase of 18% compared to last year, including acquisition and currency effects. Pro forma revenues decreased by 3% (-5% excluding currency effects) in relation to the all-time high revenues in July 2022. In addition to weaker financials for many households this summer, July has been unusually rainy and cold in large parts of Scandinavia and the revenue decrease is largely driven by weaker demand for on-site products such as water parks, shops and restaurants
