INSIDE INFORMATION, PROFIT WARNING: HONKARAKENNE OYJ LOWERS ITS FINANCIAL GUIDANCE FOR 2024 AND PROVIDES PRELIMINARY INFORMATION ON ITS REVENUE AND PROFITABILITY FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR
Honkarakenne Oyj lowers its financial guidance for 2024.
Finland’s historically weak construction economy, combined with the slow development of exports, has led to a smaller order book than expected.
Honkarakenne updates its financial guidance for 2024 published on 14 February 2024:
New guidance for 2024
According to Honkarakenne’s view, the Group’s net sales in 2024 will fall from the previous guidance and remain at EUR 38–44 million. The Group’s operating profit will decrease and remain between EUR -2.2 and -0.8 million.
Previous guidance for 2024, published 14 February 2024
According to Honkarakenne’s view, the Group’s net sales in 2024 will be at the level of the previous year and amount to EUR 43-50 million. The Group’s operating profit will be between EUR +/-0.0 and +0.5 million.
The company’s view of the development in 2024 is based on the existing order book, the orders received during the summer and the view of the prolonged recovery of the operating environment and the market.
Preliminary information on first half 2024 financial performance
Based on preliminary and unaudited information, net sales were approximately EUR 14.5 million and comparable operating profit approximately EUR -2.7 million in the first half of 2024.
