Gross Profit increased to SEK 98.8 m (78.5), corresponding to a gross margin of 12.9 per cent (12.5), 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 second quarter increased with 40 per cent to SEK 20.4 m (14.6).

Items affecting comparability amounted to SEK –14.3 m (0.3), due to adjustments for warrant program-related compensations.

"The Nicotine Pouches category, while still in its infancy, continues to be the fastest growing harm-reduced category across both Europe and the US. Haypp Group continues to make strong progress in the transformation to this rapidly growing product category. Nicotine pouches volume grew by 35 per cent during the second quarter. Nicotine Pouches now account for more than 50 per cent of the total volume during a quarter for the first time. Net sales for the Group increased by 23 per cent in constant currency during the second quarter to SEK 2,881 m on an LTM-basis. All in all, Haypp Group is well positioned to take advantage of a rapidly growing international market over the coming years and deliver in line with our long-term financial targets", says Gavin O’Dowd, CEO Haypp Group.
