Christian W. Jansson, President and Chief Executive Officer:
For the full year we see the gross margin continuing very strong and well in line with the targets we have set. Growth from new stores continues to be good and we have succeeded in improving the growth rate in existing stores, though here we have more to do.
At the same time we have clearly strengthened our financial position, which is shown in an increased equity/assets ratio and reduced debt/equity ratio.
The company and the concept stand firm and there are more towns and markets where we fit in.
