Get ready for the Fiskars Summer Festival 🎶 The birthplace of our company, Fiskars Village in Finland, will be once again home to the Fiskars Summer Festival between 29 July and 3 August 2024. 💡 Fiskars Summer Festival is a festival unlike any other. During the festival, a masterclass for young conductors at the beginning of their career will be held under the leadership of internationally known conductors, as well as chamber music concerts, symphony concerts and a concert with the Lohja City Orchestra at Karjalohja Church. 💡 The popular chamber music concerts take place in a variety of locations around Fiskars such as Lukaali and Karin Widnäs' Gallery (KWUM), and there’s an open house and free concert in Puimala. We are proud to partner with the LEAD! Foundation and the Fiskars Village community in making this extraordinary musical experience a reality. ➡️ The tickets are available online at: https://lnkd.in/ecnd3U9R #FiskarsGroup #Fiskars #FiskarsVillage

Our Half-year Financial Report and Q2 2024 results are now published. In the second quarter, comparable net sales decreased by 5% while reported net sales, which include Georg Jensen, increased by 5%.   “We delivered another solid quarter considering challenging market conditions. We were able to protect profit with Vita’s all-time high gross margin and savings from last year’s cost efficiency programs, but due to lower volumes, comparable EBIT declined to EUR 19 million. We continue to drive systematic improvement and further cost savings through our simplified way of operating. Whilst we are not expecting any immediate improvement in the market conditions, the transformative actions we continue to take support us in reaching our ambitions in both the short and long term,” says Nathalie Ahlström, Fiskars Group’s President & CEO.   Key takeaways:   ➡️ Comparable net sales decreased in challenging market conditions and comparable EBIT declined due to lower volumes. ➡️ Business Area Vita delivered all-time high gross margin, and free cash flow was at a record-high second quarter level. ➡️ Georg Jensen integration is nearly completed – on track to deliver the previously announced EUR 18 million cost synergies. ➡️ Our Guidance for 2024 is intact: we expect comparable EBIT to be slightly above the 2023 level.   🔗 Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/eJwe4vbP   #FiskarsGroup
