"Sleep Cycle is a stable company in a volatile time. It is our ability to act and focus that makes a difference – and what will carry us into the next phase of long-term growth.”

"We remain committed to our medium-term financial targets – to double revenues and reach an EBIT margin of at least 25 percent, as evidenced by our 26.3 percent margin for the quarter.
