VERBATIM: H&M said it was affected by closing its business in Russia and the hikes in raw materials and freight costs, combined with a historically strong U.S. dollar. Chief Executive Helena Helmersson says that although 2022 was “a turbulent year,” the Sweden-based company noted overall full-year sales increased by 6%. After Russia’s offensive in Ukraine in February, H&M Group first paused all sales in Russia and later announced that it was winding down the business in the country.
