Hans Ohlsson, CEO of Ellos Group, comments:

"Today marks the beginning of a new chapter for Ellos Group. Over the past several years, we have undertaken a significant transformation, delivering improved profitability, stronger cash flow and a more robust capital structure and today we have a leading position in fashion and home interior in the Nordics. Our listing on Nasdaq Stockholm provides a strong platform to continue developing our brands, growing the business, and creating long-term value for shareholders, customers, and partners. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to our owners and employees for the commitment that has brought us to this point, and to warmly welcome our new shareholders to the next phase of Ellos Group’s journey."

Morten Eivindssøn Astrup, Chair of the Board of Directors of Ellos Group, comments:

"Since we became a major shareholder around two years ago, Ellos Group has generated an EBITA of approximately SEK 400 million. As the company now lists with a market capitalisation of approximately SEK 1.5 billion, it stands as a robust business with nearly 3 million customers and a strong balance sheet that provides the flexibility to create shareholder value. I am confident that the listing will foster even greater loyalty among customers and employees over time, particularly now that they have the opportunity to become shareholders of the company. Significant opportunities exist – especially within AI – to streamline operations at Ellos Group while simultaneously enhancing the customer experience. We are entering the stock market with shareholders who declined an indicative offer for the company at a price nearly 30 percent above the listing price. Our task now is to prove that this was a wise decision."
