Inside information, negative profit warning: Luotea downgrades its outlook for 2026

Luotea downgrades its outlook for adjusted EBITA for 2026.

New outlook for 2026

In 2026 adjusted EBITA is expected to be better than the adjusted EBITA (EUR 7.0 million) in 2025.

Previously published outlook for 2026

In 2026 adjusted EBITA is expected to be better or materially better than the adjusted EBITA (EUR 7.0 million) in 2025.

Reasons for the revision of the outlook

The decline in net sales in the Finnish cleaning and support services business that materialised during the first half of 2026 has continued at the beginning of the second half of the year. The decrease in net sales, driven by intense competition and customers’ cost-saving programmes, has resulted in a decline in adjusted EBITA in the Finnish cleaning and support services business despite the efficiency measures implemented. Profitability in the Swedish business is expected to improve; however, the improvement is not considered sufficient to support the outlook for 2026 previously published by the company.

The company will continue measures to enhance the efficiency of its cost structure in Finland during the remainder of the year. As part of these measures, change negotiations have already been completed, resulting in the termination, or pending termination, of approximately 70 employees. In addition, approximately 100 employees will be temporarily laid off for periods of up to 30 days during the second half of the year.
