Continued strong performance for ICA Gruppen

• Strong sales in the Swedish ICA stores.

• Acquisition of warehouse property in Helsingborg.

ICA Gruppen’s CEO Per Strömberg comments the report

“ICA Gruppen reports a strong performance in the third quarter. Operating profit
excluding non-recurring items rose 10%, due to continued favourable development
in Sweden and the Baltic countries. We have devoted a lot of time to the
formation of ICA Gruppen during the year and it is therefore particularly
gratifying that we have been able to retain a good focus in our core businesses.
The strategic priorities that we are following have had an impact: sales are
rising, the proportion of private labels is higher, while among other things we
have taken important steps regarding our future logistics structure”, says CEO
Per Strömberg.
