Financial development
Russia’s shocking invasion of Ukraine is what the year 2022 will be remembered by. DEN Group increased their revenue in 2022, but profitability was affected by rising prices for raw materials and disruptions in supply chains. Considering the circumstances, we are happy with our sales, but the energy crisis, deteriorating purchasing power, inflation and rising interest rate levels had an impact on the housing market and customer behaviour. The total number of single-family houses delivered was 23 per cent higher than in 2021.
DEN Group’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
