Hannes Wallin, CEO and Founder of Fractal comments:
“Demand for PC gaming hardware improved during the quarter, and we reported sharp growth in sales and higher earnings than the year-earlier period. This is despite the prevailing increased macroeconomic uncertainty, with high inflation and low consumer confidence in several markets. Historically, the gaming industry has been less sensitive to market fluctuations than several other industries and there is a pent-up demand, given that many have refrained from upgrading their equipment in the past year. Prices for graphics cards have dropped significantly and new generations of graphics cards were launched from Nvidia, AMD and Intel in the third and fourth quarters which has led to increased interest among many gamers in upgrading their computers.

We see potential for continued growth during the rest of the year, based on our attractive product portfolio that meets the demand we see from high-performance gamers.

There is strong underlying demand and we will continue to drive our growth-promoting initiatives with a focus on delivering high-quality products and a high level of service as well as expanded marketing activities.”
