- Net interest-bearing debt decreased to DKK 262.2 million from DKK 276.6 million last year driven by repayment of lease liabilities (rent), but further includes a significant reduction in lease liabilities pertaining to reduced rent levels within the European retail estate.
- The cash balance decreased from DKK 221.7 million in 2021 to DKK 145.9 million in 2022 driven by higher investments in inventory and non-trading payments including payments of Covid related funding support from prior years.

Om Georg Jensen
Georg Jensens varumärke står för kvalitetshantverk och tidlös estetisk design, med en historia som sträcker sig mer än 100 år bakåt i tiden. Våra livsstilsprodukter spänner över allt från bordssilver och klockor till smycken och heminredning.
Georg Jensens egen filosofi var att skapa designföremål för alla och att förena skönhet och funktion. Hans hantverksskicklighet och konstnärliga talang, såväl som hans förmåga att upptäcka och hjälpa fram begåvade designers, bildade grunden när han började bygga upp Georg Jensen i Köpenhamn 1904.
