Thebalux reported net sales of SEK 95m compared to our SEK 89m estimate. Gross margins were 47.8%, +160bp y-o-y on the back of UK price adjustments and the inclusion of Thebalux into the Group, which coupled with better opex efficiency led to Group Q4 EBITA of SEK 82m. This was +4% vs ABGSCe and +9% vs cons, and corresponds to 37% EBITA growth y-o-y and a 15.2% margin. The board proposes a dividend of SEK 1.50 (1.00), for a 47% payout ratio.
