Net Sales Growth

Rusta AB achieved net sales of MSEK 3,174, up by 3.4 percent compared to MSEK 3,069 in the same period last year. Excluding currency effects, net sales saw a more substantial increase of 6.0 percent, highlighting underlying business strength.

Strong Performance in Core Markets

The company’s primary segments in Sweden and Norway performed robustly, driven by an increase in customer numbers, higher average ticket values, and ongoing improvements to the product mix. In contrast, the Other markets segment experienced a decline due to softer conditions in Finland.

Impact of Currency Effects

Earnings were negatively affected by temporary currency fluctuations. However, CEO Göran Westerberg expressed confidence that these effects have peaked and anticipates benefits from a stronger Swedish krona in the second half of the financial year.

Store Expansion and Future Outlook

Rusta AB maintains a record high pipeline of new stores, with six planned openings for the autumn season. The company remains committed to leveraging its strong balance sheet to invest in low prices, greater efficiency, and further expansion, aiming to meet the growing demand for affordable alternatives in a challenging market.
