Enento Group upgrades its net sales outlook for 2021
Enento Group Plc upgrades its net sales outlook for 2021, driven by the strong development in the second quarter. Net sales is expected to grow in 2021 in accordance with the long-term target range (5-10%), exceeding the mid-point of that range. In its previous future outlook, Enento Group has expected the net sales growth rate to be in the long-term target range (5-10%) but somewhat lower than the mid-point of the target range. The improved outlook is primarily due to the better-than-expected volume growth in the consumer information services in the Swedish market during the second quarter.
In terms of EBITDA margin and investments, the future outlook remains unchanged.
