The mercurial rise of Danish toy producer Lego looks set to continue unabated after the company revealed a record profit for the second year running.
Its financial results for 2015 revealed a net profit of 9.2 billion kroner – a 31 percent increase on the 7.0 billion kroner profit it enjoyed in 2014.
“2015 was a fantastic year for us as a company dedicated to inspiring and developing children through play,” said Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, the CEO of Lego.
“Across the year we estimate that approximately 100 million children had a Lego experience – be it through playing with great Lego products, in schools via Lego Education materials or by participating in local community activities or receiving product donations driven by the Lego Foundation across the world.”
