EBIT profitability in Q2 despite tough macro environment

LMK Group, a leading supplier of meal kits in the Scandinavian region and a leader in Scandinavian foodtech, today announced its financial results for the second quarter 2022. The Group operates in Sweden, Norway and Denmark under the brands Linas Matkasse, Godtlevert, Adams Matkasse and RetNemt.

CEO Walker Kinman commented: “Accelerating inflation and declines in consumer sentiment on recessionary fears, combined with changes in customer behavior as the economy continues to emerge from the Covid pandemic, continued to affect demand for the category negatively during the second quarter. Still, we managed to reach EBIT profitability in the quarter and our company retains a healthy cash position while being unencumbered with structured debt. We continue to focus on a superior consumer experience through the development of our offering and our business fundamentals, while adjusting our operating model to adapt to the current macro environment realities.”
