"The group's profit after tax was SEK 3,566 m (11,010), corresponding to EK 2.16 (6.65) per share," the report read, adding that "As communicated previously, results for the year were impacted by one-time costs of SEK 2,591 m for winding down the Russian operations and of a cost and efficiency programme."
The company's revenue rose 12.4% to 223.553 billion Swedish kronor, according to the report.
H&M posted a net loss of 864 million Swedish kronor for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, compared with a profit of 4.

On a per-share basis, the loss was 0.53 Swedish kronor, compared with a profit of 2.79 Swedish kronor a year earlier. H&M's fourth quarter net sales increased by almost 10% to 62.433 billion Swedish kronor, or 11% excluding Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, according to the report.
H&M Group, founded in 1947 in Sweden, in addition to the H&M clothing retailer, also develops such brands as COS, Monki, and Weekday, among others. The company's network has about 4,600 stores in 77 markets worldwide.
