Sales rose 1.3 percent to SEK 1,673 million (1,651). The outcome can be compared with Modular Finance's analyst consensus of 1,685.
"Growth was primarily driven by the Nordic markets, where Sweden continued to grow (+4 percent) and Denmark returned to growth (2 percent increase in local currency). The improvement was delivered despite the initial sales of the Autumn/Winter collection being affected by unfavorable weather conditions in September," the company writes.
CEO Hermann Haraldsson states that the company is not satisfied with the growth trend.
"But it is encouraging that we are seeing a gradual improvement as we enter the most important trading period of the year," he adds.
Gross profit was SEK 627 million (638), with a gross margin of 37.5 percent (38.6).

Adjusted operating profit amounted to SEK 67 million (54), compared with an expected SEK 57.7 million, with an adjusted operating margin of 4.0 percent (3.3).
Profit after tax was SEK 26 million (15), and per share SEK 0.39 (0.21).
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 318 million (24).
The current share buyback program is being expanded from SEK 300 million to SEK 415 million. This means that Boozt will achieve its target from Capital Markets Day 2023 of repurchasing shares for SEK 800 million within three years.
