“We aim to build on our legacy and continue to be a front-runner in the marketplace industry. This means accelerating our future winners by simplifying our portfolio and organisation, deepening our vertical capabilities, and scaling across our businesses to deliver superior products. Furthermore, we will accelerate our positions and concepts where we have the capabilities and playbook needed to win,” says Christian Printzell Halvorsen, CEO Schibsted Marketplaces.

Over the past year, Schibsted Marketplaces has made significant efforts in transforming and focusing the business to unlock shareholder value and reinforce its position as a pure-play marketplace company. Through these actions, the company will become a leaner, more agile organisation, dedicated to delivering sustainable value to shareholders and securing number one positions across the Nordics.

“We are excited to present the financial targets and focused capital allocation policy for the new company. By combining a strong revenue growth agenda with significant cost and efficiency improvements, we are well-positioned to drive substantial margin expansion across all verticals in the medium-term,” said Per Christian Mørland, CFO of Schibsted Marketplaces.
