Cheffelo (formerly LMK Group), a leading supplier of meal kits in the Nordic region and a leader in Scandinavian foodtech, today announced its financial results for the third quarter 2023. The company reported improvements in profitability across its markets. Good sales development in September moved Net sales into growth for the first time since Q3 2021 which, together with a solid development in Contribution margin and good cost control, helped to minimize the seasonally expected Q3 loss.
CEO Walker Kinman commented: “We have been clear that our most important near-term target was to be profitable and self-financing. To credibly be able to talk about future growth in the business, it was also necessary to a stabilize the top line and demonstrate the ability to profitably grow delivery volumes. Both of these we have been able to achieve and this quarter is a proof of our teams’ strong engagement across the organization.”
