Inside information, profit warning: Kamux lowers its outlook for the year 2024


Kamux Corporation, Inside information, 14.10.2024 at 17:00   

HÄMEENLINNA, Finland, Oct. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --

Inside information, profit warning: Kamux lowers its outlook for the year 2024 

Kamux lowers its outlook for the year 2024 due to significantly lower than expected sales and the subsequent operating loss in Sweden in the third quarter. Kamux now expects the adjusted operating profit for 2024 to be EUR 15-17 million. Previously Kamux expected its adjusted operating profit for 2024 to exceed its 2023 adjusted operating profit, which was EUR 18.0 million.

Rationale for updating the outlook

The corrective actions that are related to the misconduct that was detected in Sweden in the second half of 2023 have had a bigger than expected impact on Kamux's sales. In the third quarter of 2024, external revenue in Sweden was approximately EUR 45 million, when it was EUR 57.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. Due to the weak sales, adjusted operating profit for the third quarter in Sweden is significantly negative which has a substantial negative impact on the Group's adjusted operating profit. Several actions have been taken to improve productivity and efficiency in Sweden, yet they will have a positive impact on profitability only in 2025.

New outlook for 2024:

Kamux expects the adjusted operating profit for 2024 to be EUR 15-17 million.

Previous outlook for 2024:

Kamux expects its adjusted operating profit for 2024 to exceed its 2023 adjusted operating profit, which was EUR 18.0 million.

Kamux publishes the interim report for January-September 2024 on Friday, November 8, 2024.
