What management said
Thank you very much, Niclas. So in summary, a quarter with strengthened gross margin, strengthened EBIT margin, weak growth of our own consumer brands, mainly driven then by our own organic brands. And with that, I hand back to the operator for questions.
Raw material prices in the first quarter were fairly stable and did not have a material impact on the gross margin. And that is, in our case, partly visible then in the gross margin improvement, what we refer to as the net price improvement, where we've been able to effectively take slightly more price out than we've had cost pressure coming in.
What analysts pressed on
Analysts expressed concerns regarding the impact of the fire in Spain on future sales and the timing of product launches. There were also questions about the long-term strategy for Spanish operations and the potential risks associated with raw material costs.
