LEGO Shares 2020 Financial Performance and Appoints New CFO


Recommended Posts

With a headline like that, you'd think things are not looking good for The LEGO Group, but earlier today they posted a press release stating that in the first half of 2020, their sales grew 14% compared to the same period in 2019. This is despite increased costs in freight shipping due to the closure of their factories in China and Mexico as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. They make a big point to note that they doubled visitors to LEGO Shop@Home compared to last year, rising up to 100 million, although they can likely thank the pandemic for that as well.

I'm going to Legoland tomorrow with my girlfriend for a nice, light-hearted visit, and it'll be interesting to see how it holds up. They've been open again for a while now. I know Disneylands all over the world make up a huge amount of Disney's yearly income and they're quite a bit down as a result this year, but I wonder how significant the theme parks are to Lego? I remember them being packed when I was a kid.
