Akciju Sabiedrība ELKO GRUPA Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements For 6 months ended 30 June 2021

Demand for IT and consumer electronics products in the first half of 2021 stay strong. However, the shortage in several product groups, especially smartphones, limits the market’s ability to provide the required products. The distribution business has become more working capital-intensive than ever before, mainly due to larger prepayments made to manufacturers and increased inventory to secure product availability. Although circumstances were challenging, ELKO slightly increased sales compared to the outstanding results the year before and increment gross margins.
