Net sales for the first quarter increased by 22 per cent to SEK 781 m (640). In constant currency, net sales
increased by 21 per cent. Gross Profit increased to SEK 94 m (75), corresponding to a gross margin of 12.0 per cent (11.7), driven by a strengthened position in the value chain both in the Core and Growth business unit as well as benefits of
scale. Adjusted EBIT for the first quarter increased to SEK 18 m (14). The increase was mainly due to higher gross margin, increased volume, as well as efficiency, partially offset by continued investments. The adjusted EBIT margin increased to 2.3 per cent (2.2). Operating profit for the first quarter amounted to SEK 7 m (1). Items affecting comparability amounted to SEK -1 m (-4).

"Driven by solid performance in both our Core and Growth Markets, the volume of nicotine pouches grew 41 per cent during the first quarter. We continue to make strong progress in the transformation to this rapidly growing product category, which now accounts for 45 per cent of the total volume. Net sales for the group increased by 21 per cent in constant currency during the quarter to SEK 2,740 m on an LTM basis. Inflationary pressure has so far had limited impact on our overall performance, and we see an increasing demand from consumers seeking safer nicotine alternatives at attractive prices", says Gavin O’Dowd, President and CEO Haypp Group.
