“In light of all the central listings we have entered and further events in the pipeline, we continue to assess that we will reach the previously submitted forecast, with full-year sales of SEK 170 million. During the first quarter of the year, Fuud has taken further steps in the right direction. During the period, we increased sales by approximately 19% compared to the previous quarter, and we improved our EBITDA by approximately 30%. We also enter into acquisition agreements with two highly interesting companies that will contribute to major synergies within our brand portfolio. We have successfully launched our proprietary Legendz brand and we see continued strong growth in Beijing8 in terms of both sales and distribution coverage. It is gratifying that the investments we have made in 2021 in both the organization and in the positioning of our priority brands have begun to have the desired effect. Our growth journey has begun to pick up speed, but we are just at the start. I look forward to continuing this exciting journey.”
