*Without impact from reclassification of USD hedge as incorporated in Q4 2022. Impact in 2021FY and 2021 Q4 would be favorable to Gross Profit by DKK 0.3 million and DKK 0.7 million, respectively

  • FY 2022 revenue grew 6% while EBITDA remained at level with 2021. All channels and product segments delivered growth in 2022 compared to 2021.
  • Georg Jensen brand continues to expand, despite a changed consumer behavior mainly impacting European sales in Q4. Sales contraction in Q4 is driven by Jewellery (-14%) with Home impacted to a lesser extent (-6%). Compared to latest pre-COVID period, Q4 2019, Net Sales grew by 10%.
  • Gross Margin finished the year in line with 2021, despite headwinds from a stronger USD throughout 2022.   
  • OPEX was well controlled in Q4 and favorably impacted by cost containment initiatives. OPEX was DKK 6.5 million lower in Q4 2022 compared to LY.
  • Net interest-bearing debt decreased to DKK 262.2 million from DKK 276.6 million last year driven by repayment of lease liabilities (rent), but further includes a significant reduction in lease liabilities pertaining to reduced rent levels within the European retail estate.
  • The cash balance decreased from DKK 221.7 million in 2021 to DKK 145.9 million in 2022 driven by higher investments in inventory and non-trading payments including payments of Covid related funding support from prior years.

Om Georg Jensen

Georg Jensens varumärke står för kvalitetshantverk och tidlös estetisk design, med en historia som sträcker sig mer än 100 år bakåt i tiden. Våra livsstilsprodukter spänner över allt från bordssilver och klockor till smycken och heminredning.

Georg Jensens egen filosofi var att skapa designföremål för alla och att förena skönhet och funktion. Hans hantverksskicklighet och konstnärliga talang, såväl som hans förmåga att upptäcka och hjälpa fram begåvade designers, bildade grunden när han började bygga upp Georg Jensen i Köpenhamn 1904.
