Eggert Þór Kristófersson, CEO of Festi:

"Our focus on improved operations continued to show results in the third quarter with revenue increasing by 15% and EBITDA by 29% compared to same period last year. The operations of all the Group's entities were significantly better than the company anticipated. Behind all this is a lot of hard work and I would like to take this opportunity to thank our employees for their excellent work.

Our focus has also been on expanding customer service and customer experience by investments in digital solutions. The latest product that has been introduced in that journey is Krónan "Scan and Go“ solution, which enables our customers to use their mobile phones when shopping in Krónan stores. New online stores of ELKO and N1 have also been launched during the year with increased service to our customers.

The impact of the COVID epidemic was still felt during the quarter although it‘s effects are diminishing. Increased customer demand in the global markets together with delays in important supply chains have led to shortage of goods and rising commodity prices in recent quarters. The outlook for our operations are however, still very good and the company is well equipped to face the challenges that lie ahead." says Eggert Þór Kristófersson, CEO of Festi.
