Particularly, the Sports & Health segment displays a continued strong growth of 37% with stable profitability while sales within the Fashion segment increased by over 14%. Also, the Home & Garden segment continued to grow in the quarter. The inventory reduction of computer products continued within CDON.com, which affected results negatively by approximately SEK 13 million during the quarter. Consequently, the Entertainment segment showed an underlying operating profit during the period. Our ambition is to transform CDON.com into a full range retailer online and we continue to deliver on our strategy to defend our market leading position and to continuously broaden our product offering. The efficiency enhancing initiatives within the Fashion segment continued and a new web platform was launched. As of the end of the third quarter, the majority of the internal reinforcement and restructuring measures had been completed within Nelly.com. Despite a strong focus on these efficiency enhancing measures and a market which was weakened somewhat by the warm weather, the Fashion segment grew by over 14%. Profitability for our fastest growing segment, the Sports & Health segment, showed continued strength with an operating margin of approximately 9% despite continued investments in new markets. Private label products accounted for 46% of total sales and an entirely new product category was launched. Total sales growth within the Sports & Health segment amounted to 37%.” For additional information, please visit www.cdongroup.com or contact: Paul Fischbein, President & Chief Executive Officer Phone:  +46 (0) 10 703 20 00 Press, investor and analyst enquiries: Fredrik Bengtsson, Head of Communications Phone:  +46 (0) 700 80 75 04 E-mail:  press@cdongroup.com, ir@cdongroup.com About CDON Group CDON Group is the leading e-commerce group in the Nordic region.
