Synsam AB

Welcome everyone to Synström Group's Q&A session as released a year-end report for 2024 this morning. My name is Frida Leim and I'm Head of Investor Relations at Synström Group and the moderator of this Q&A. Today I'm joined by our CFO Per Hedblom and our CCO Jimmie Engström. Those of you watching this live can ask your question in the YouTube chat, and we will try to answer as many questions as possible. We have also our analyst from Citi joining us, so I would like to welcome and hand over to Yang Yang from Citi. Welcome, Yang.

Thanks, Frida, and thank you guys for hosting the call and allowing me time to ask questions. I guess if I could just start out the sessions with the questions to both the CFO and the CEO, what are you seeing in terms of the consumer environment across different geographies, you know, exiting 2024 and entering 2025? And I know we ask this question every single quarter, but it is a good idea to have a state of the union on where people are at.

Yeah. Now, I mean, we see also in the Q4 a bit of a cautious consumer still. But of course, where we see also the interest decreases now coming into the economy. So going into 2025, we hope for a more positive consumer as the household income will increase.
