Sales development in March 2016

As previously announced in conjunction with the three-month report 2016, sales
including VAT in March 2016
increased by 2 percent in local currencies for the H&M group compared to the
same month last year.

Sales in March, April and May should be viewed together because the Easter
holiday falls in different months in
different years, and partly also because the weather during this period can vary
greatly from year to year. For H&M
in general, a late Easter is better than an early Easter. Weather conditions in
March last year were favourable for
the season, while the opposite is true this year.

The total number of stores amounted to 3,997 on 31 March 2016 compared to 3,580
on 31 March 2015.

Percentage sales development for the month of April will be published in a press
release at 08.00 (CET) on 16 May 2016.
