CEO Magnus Brännström comments:
“We are pleased to report yet another quarter of Euro and local currency growth with healthy improvements in profitability.

The success from our online leaders and the sales of Skin Care and Wellness sets and routines reached new levels, serving as important drivers of the growth.
