Hannes Wallin, CEO and Founder of Fractal comments:
"Despite the external challenges we faced during the year in terms of demand and the supply chain, we are enthusiastic about the opportunities to generate profitable and sustainable growth in the coming years. We will continue to drive our growth-initiatives at full speed, in the face of a turbulent period as external factors have dampened demand, in order to take advantage of the sizeable opportunities we see in the market going forward.

There is still uncertainty regarding demand and the supply chain, but we expect to display growth again in 2022. We anticipate continued low demand in the first half of the year but with a stronger development in the second half of the year, as the graphics cards availability improves.

Our view of the market and our financial targets in the medium to long term range are unchanged with net sales growth of at least 10% and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 20%. Underlying demand for high-performance gaming products remains strong and growing. The reception of our products launched during the year has been positive with great interest and exceptional reviews. We look forward to launching further products in the upcoming months to further strengthen our market shares and position."
