Clas Ohlson presents updated financial targets at Capital Markets Day
Clas Ohlson is today arranging a Capital Markets Day where President and CEO Kristofer Tonström, together with the rest of Group Management, will provide an in-depth picture of the company's strategy and future development. In addition, updated financial targets for the coming three-year period will be presented.
Since the new strategy was launched in 2022, Clas Ohlson has developed into a structurally stronger company with improved profitability, stronger cash flow and higher return on capital. With clear strengths in assortment, brand and customer meeting, and a clearly differentiated model for value creation, the company will continue to grow profitably.
"We have several different growth drivers, which provides both flexibility and stability. The updated financial targets are designed to support disciplined and profitable growth over time, and with the strong platform we have built, I am convinced that we will be able to continue delivering value for all stakeholders. By introducing the new target for return on capital employed, we are also strengthening the link between growth, profitability and capital efficiency," says Kristofer Tonström, President and CEO, Clas Ohlson.

Growth | Operating margin | Return on capital employed | Dividend policy | |
5% An organic sales growth of 5 per cent per year | ~12% An operating margin of around 12 per cent per year | ~30% Return on capital employed (ROCE) of around 30 per cent per year | >50% Dividends are to comprise at least 50 per cent of earnings per share after tax, with consideration to the financial position |
*The financial targets refer to the three-year period starting 1 May 2026
