- - GN Audio
Quotes from executive management Gitte Aabo, CEO of GN Hearing, comments: “We are very pleased to see the great momentum from Q4 2022 continue into 2023 with 15% organic revenue growth delivered in Q1. Our strong performance is broad based across regions, and with our new full product line-up of popular styles in the very successful ReSound OMNIA family, our growth platform is in place, boding well for the remainder of the year, why we are also confident in upgrading the guidance for our full-year.” Peter Karlstromer, CEO of GN Audio, comments: “As expected, we continued to face challenging market conditions in Q1. In this environment our teams have executed strongly resulting in market share gains, and consequently all three business lines delivered organic revenue growth above our expectations. I’m especially pleased to see SteelSeries continuing to outperform the market growing 22%, showcasing the strength of our premium gaming portfolio. To further strengthen the resilience of GN Audio and weather the challenging market conditions, we executed a series of cost reduction initiatives during Q1 to protect our margins and improve future cash flow.” Financial overview Q1 2023 Financial guidance 2023 is upgraded
