We have announced our full-year numbers and we are pleased to report that we delivered an all-time high gross margin and the best EBIT margin before special items in six years, despite a decline in revenue.   We have built a stronger company and financial foundation and we can see that our strategy is working. As such, we want to accelerate our strategy execution and have presented a plan to do so while also setting medium-term growth targets. To achieve these targets and realise our mid-term plan, we require investments and we are looking to get a capital increase of up to 20% of our share capital approved at our Annual General Meeting in August.   Our CEO Kristian Teär, B&O, said the following about our financial performance and plans for the future:   “We have made good progress with our strategy despite a challenging market environment. We’ve delivered a historic high gross margin, and our EBIT margin is the best in over half a decade. We want to build on that momentum and further accelerate our strategic execution to capture the market potential we see. With the planned investments, we will be able to realise Bang & Olufsen's growth potential and solidify our position as the world's leading luxury audio brand.”   Read our full annual report here: https://lnkd.in/d26CrZBY

We look back proudly on a week in which our Director of Product Circularity and Portfolio Planning, Mads Kogsgaard Hansen delivered one of the opening keynote speeches at The Electronics Goes Green 2024 congress in Berlin.   A key electronics and sustainability conference, Electronics Goes Green gathered researchers, policy makers and industry stakeholders to discuss topics such as sustainable product design, lifecycle assessments, circular economics, recycling, and e-waste management. We were happy to share our vision and ambitions within product circularity, demonstrating that long-lasting electronics, designed for a second life, are indeed possible. At Bang & Olufsen, we are committed to leading and inspiring the industry to design products that are technologically and functionally durable via our Cradle-to-Cradle design principles and our Recreated Classics programme, which takes the timeless qualities of classic products and carries these learnings forward to future products.     Learn more about our circularity ambitions:  https://lnkd.in/drcZvhkE    First photo :   @ MIKA-fotografie | Berlin
