For the full year we increased Net Sales and delivered 23.2 million meals to our customers. Both average order value and Order frequency increased during the quarter. We expanded the number of recipes offered in all our markets and today offer the widest variety of mealkit recipes in the markets where we operate. Despite Covid restrictions and many of our office-based teams working remotely, we have executed on both the integration of the Danish business while also completely transforming our production capabilities by implementing 100% customer unique production across markets. Our employees deserve appreciation for their achievements during the year.”
