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
