The H&M group said its sales including VAT increased by 3 percent in local currencies adjusted for negative calendar effects in the month of February 2017 compared to the same month last year. The company added that the negative calendar effect amounted to approximately 4 percentage points since February 2017 had one day less than February 2016, which was a leap year.
