Clas Ohlson starts the financial year with a quarterly increase

The Swedish retail chain Clas Ohlson has started its 2026/2027 financial year, which began in May, with a quarterly increase. From May to June, it generated revenue of SEK 3.278 bn (EUR 299.6 mio), exceeding the corresponding figure for the previous year by 16 per cent. Of this, 11 per cent is attributed to organic growth, which in turn comprises a 9 per cent like-for-like increase and a 2 per cent increase from new markets. 

Organic growth was roughly the same in the main markets of Sweden (SEK 1.531 bn, (EUR 140.0 mio), up 11 per cent) and Norway (SEK 1.363 bn (EUR 124.6 mio), up 10 per cent), whilst in Finland (284 million SEK, EUR 26.0 mio) the increase was 9 per cent.
