Jewellery maker Pandora (PNDORA.CO) on Tuesday announced a push for growth in the United States and China, and potential expansion into new areas such as watches and bags, after posting forecast-beating first-quarter operating profit.
Strong online sales and the impact of stimulus packages in the United States helped lift operating profit more than four-fold to 903 million crowns ($146.2 million) between January and March, versus 833 million crowns forecast in a company-compiled poll.
Pandora s new strategy aims to strengthen its brand in key markets, particularly the world s two biggest economies, and over time to potentially extend into other product categories, Chief Executive Alexander Lacik told Reuters in an interview.

According to the statement, Denmark intends to support energy generation from onshore and offshore wind turbines, wave power plants, hydroelectric power plants and solar technology with a scheme designed to guarantee stable prices to electricity producers.

Denmark on Monday became the first country to exclude Johnson & Johnson s (JNJ.N) COVID-19 shots from its vaccination programme over a potential link to a rare but serious form of blood clot.
The move comes after the Nordic country last month stopped using AstraZeneca s (AZN.L) vaccine altogether citing similar concerns. read more
The country s health authority said in a statement it had found that the benefits of using the COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson do not outweigh the risk of causing the possible adverse effect in those who receive the vaccine .
Wars of the Peloponnesus file
This mod places the game in an ancient greek ambient, with 20 new or reworked factions that include ancient greek city-states and empires such as Macedon or Persia.
It intends to keep a vanilla Rome Total War feel about it, with the models, UI and mechanics being very similar to the vanilla game.
The map itself is based around the Greek region, with islands such as Crete or Rhodes and the Western part of Anatolia.
Every faction, altough having a considerable portion of vanilla units, has its own unique units, most of which are new.
I d like to thank everyone on the Rome Total War Community Discord Server for their help throughout the making of this mod, and especially to Discord users Lanjane, Sirrianus Dagovax, Solón de Atenas and JewJudea99.
