Expectations for the full year 2023/24
On 15 April 2024, management upwardly adjusted its expectations for the year to revenue of DKK 880 – 930 million and operating profit (EBIT) of DKK 8 – 15 million.
After nine months, these expectations are maintained, although both revenue and operating profit (EBIT) are expected to be realised towards the high end of the announced range.
A high level of uncertainty still surrounds the expectations for the year, primarily as a result of the continued geopolitical challenges, and because international demand is challenged by risks of inflation and uncertainty about interest rate trends.
