Three of our four segments show sales growth, in particular Sports & Health which maintains a high growth rate of 36 per cent in the quarter, combined with stable margins. The Group reported an operating profit, excluding non-recurring items, near breakeven for the full year. This was despite the weak start to the year, clearance of overstock at CDON.com during the second half of the year amounting to SEK 20 million, as well as extensive investments in organisational reinforcements. Improved cash flow and strongly reduced inventory levels are further recipes to our efforts. The strong financial position and healthy inventory ensures the Group’s settings for an increased focus on growth-oriented initiatives and investments in 2014. The Group will increase its investments in growth in 2014, mainly in the Fashion and Sport & Health segments. The initiatives, which are in line with the Group's long-term strategy, has already begun through the recently announced geographical expansion of Nelly.com. The transformation of CDON.com continues according to plan, and in the fourth quarter, CDON.com Marketplace was launched. This was an important strategic step in the transformation of CDON.com to become a leading full-range e-commerce store.” For further information, please visit www.cdongroup.com, or contact: Paul Fischbein, President and 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.
