The Group maintained sales momentum, and growth in the quarter was 16%, fuelled primarily by the Sports & Health segment, which grew by 26%, and Fashion, which saw a 23% rise in sales. In addition, Lekmer and Tretti displayed a continued healthy sales growth. Underlying cash flow from operations continued to improve during the quarter, amounting to SEK 72 million. Furthermore, operations in Rum21 were divested during Q2 for SEK 68 million, which generated capital gains of SEK 35 million. All the measures and initiatives that have been implemented within Nelly.com over the past two years are gradually starting to produce results; growth has returned and the operating margin has improved, partly due to a logistics upgrade and a higher percentage of sales of private label products. Launches in France, Belgium and Poland, and NLY Man, are also progressing according to plan. The transformation of CDON.com into a leading online marketplace continued as planned. CDON.com Marketplace has expanded to include 140 affiliated retailers and is expected to continue to show strong growth in 2014. Sales within CDON.com were consistent with the second quarter of the previous year, as new products compensated for the decline in sales of media-related products. The shift in the product mix, coupled with investments in restructuring projects, caused a slight drop in earnings for CDON.com compared with Q2 2013. Our more offensive initiatives in Q2 included test launches of our in-house developed payment solution, Qliro. The pilot test, which was introduced on Members at the beginning of June, has proved successful, and will expand to Tretti in Sweden in the third quarter.” For further information, please visit www.cdongroup.com, or contact: Paul Fischbein, President and Chief Executive Officer Phone: +46 (0) 10 703 20 00 Investor and analyst enquiries: Nicolas Adlercreutz, CFO Phone: +46 (0) 70 587 44 88 Press enquiries: Fredrik Bengtsson, Head of Communications Phone: +46 (0) 70 080 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.
