Revenue Growth: Reported group revenues increased by NOK 15.1 million, or 1.7%, compared to last year, but were negatively impacted by warehouse transition issues.
Warehouse Transition: Short-term logistical challenges from launching a new Nordic warehouse led to product availability problems and higher costs, but management expects long-term benefits.
Strong Online Sales: Online revenues grew significantly, with a total of NOK 129.5 million and a 3 percentage point increase in online share to 14.4%.
Gross Margin: Group gross margin was 61.8%, down 0.3 points from last year due to increased campaign activity but remains strong by historical standards.
Operating Expenses: OpEx rose 12% mainly due to nonrecurring costs from the warehouse transition and increased project activity.
Dividend Declared: The Board approved a half-year dividend of NOK 2.5 per share, payable in November.
Guidance & Outlook: Product availability is improving into Q4, and nonrecurring warehouse transition costs are expected to decrease going forward. Digital expansion into Germany/EU is postponed until 2026.
