Tiimari Group's comparable sales grew in March by 18 % and were EUR 6.5 million

period occurring in March as a whole as opposed to being split between March and
April last year. The comparable Easter sales were at last year's levels. From
the beginning of the year, the continuing comparable market sales grew by 7 %.
The figures for the segments and geographical markets have been made comparable
by moving the countries where the Company has withdrawn from or is withdrawing
