Sales in the quarter increased by about 7 per cent compared with the same period of the previous year, which is a considerable improvement compared with the weak third-quarter sales reported by KappAhl. However, sales were associated with a large proportion of clearance sales and campaigns, which had some impact on the gross margin. The operating profit was positively impacted by the previously announced earnings improvement programme, which is delivering clear savings in both stores and administrative functions.

KappAhl's fourth quarter report for 2019 will be published at 07.30 (CET) on 9 October 2019.

The information was released for public disclosure, through the agency of the contact persons below, at 3.50 pm CEST on 11 September 2019
