“The 2019/20 fiscal year began with positive sales developments in many markets, which were then partially offset by a very warm winter, especially in Scandinavia. Already at the beginning of the year 2020, the changes as a result of the Covid-19 crisis became noticeable and gave us a complete shakeup. In the meantime, business has revived and our business model with strong regional partners and retailers shows its strengths combined with efficient omnichannel solutions. We are aware that we must face many challenges and changes, but we are convinced that we will be able to emerge stronger and more unified from the crisis,” IIC CEO Steve Evers said.
