CEO Magnus Brännström comments “The overall market conditions remain very volatile in the CIS region, despite the recent strengthening of the Rouble, and we have seen a slow-down in Russia. In the quarter, we have implemented significant price increases, which have had short-term adverse effect on the volume. We will continue to sequentially implement the price increases and other measures we consider appropriate in order to secure both our margins and the income opportunity for our Consultants. The difficulties in some of our core markets are however balanced by the strong performance of our key growth regions Latin America, Turkey, Africa and Asia representing close to 45 percent of group sales in the quarter. While the strong growth in these regions is encouraging, we focus our strengths on getting back to sustainable growth in CIS and Europe.” Conference call for the financial community The company will host a conference call on Friday, 8 May at 9:30 CET.
