President’s comments –
Solid start of the year in cautious market

“The ITAB Group’s earnings performance was stable in the first quarter of 2026, with a stronger gross margin and lower selling and administrative expenses despite a 7 percent decrease in sales due to the prevailing cautious market environment. Excluding extraordinary costs, underlying profitability was also on a par with the relatively strong start to 2025. These are positive signs of our successful realisation of synergies to date and mark the beginning stages of optimising our joint organisation in line with our integration plans. Our focus for the coming quarters will be to continue strengthening the Group’s earnings performance through our identified synergies and to create profitable growth by capitalising on the positive outcome at EuroShop,” concludes Interim President & CEO Glauco Frascaroli.
