CEO Magnus Brännström comments

“We ended the second quarter weaker than expected, however we see a sales growth of 3% in the third quarter to date, and higher in Russia. The implementation of the improved Success Plan in the CIS looks promising, although the related price changes had an initial negative impact on sales and leverage in the second quarter. Our key future growth markets are performing very well. Initiatives to increase sales and efficiency within the Group are being intensified.”
