Kristofer Tonström, CEO and President: Sales in September is another sign of the strength of our business model and our needs-driven assortment. Organic sales increased by 12 per cent during the month following a good development in all markets. The total sales increase amounted to 19 per cent, impacted by positive currency effects from the stronger NOK and contributions from the acquired e-commerce companies Phonelife and Reservdelaronline. E-commerce was overall very strong in September and continues to grow faster than total sales.
