Interim Report January - March 2019: Profit is generated every day

Catena shows a strong start to the year with a continued stable cash flow in the first quarter. Active project development over time and lower interest expenses are two factors that contribute to the strong profit.

- Catena has good conditions to continue growing even with slowing growth in traditional retail. It is enough just to look towards the development in Asia, especially China, to see the tendency and also in Sweden, the trend clearly points in a direction – it is the digitally driven trade that is now the growth engine of retailing, says Catenas CEO Benny Thögersen.

- Today, we are adapting increasing numbers of terminals for a faster and more complex and individualised omnitrade with capacity to handle larger transaction amounts and a strongly increasing share of consumer orders direct from the warehouse. The terminals’ location is even more important to be able to maximise the benefit and reduce the transport burden, says Catenas CEO Benny Thögersen.
