Third-quarter operating profit reached SEK899m (US$141.3m), compared to SEK690m a year ago.


Group turnover jumped to SEK20.6bn, a rise of 21.1%, but the rise falls sharply to 5.8% when Rimi’s turnover is excluded.


ICA is 40% owned by Stockholm-bourse listed company Hakon Invest; Dutch retail giant Ahold is the majority shareholder. 


“With a restructured organisation and a strong financial position behind us, we now have a really good chance to work progressively and to keep creating profitable growth,” said ICA chairman Kenneth Bengtsson.
