Profit Warning: Lassila & Tikanoja updates its guidance for 2024. The operating profit is estimated to remain below the level of the previous year – the adjusted operating profit is estimated to be at the same level or better

In autumn 2023, Lassila & Tikanoja decided, in connection with the strategy update, to evaluate the strategic alternatives for the Facility Services Finland and Facility Services Sweden divisions as part of the development of the business portfolio. The company announced on 16 May 2024 its plans to accelerate strategy execution. Lassila & Tikanoja intends to focus on its circular economy business.

Expenses related to these enhanced measures are now expected to affect the company’s 2024 operating profit and the company estimates that its 2024 operating profit will remain below the level of the previous year.

These expenses are classified as items affecting comparability, and they do not affect the adjusted operating profit reported by the company. The expenses mainly consist of external advisory costs. The adjusted operating profit is estimated to be at the same level or better compared to the previous year. In previous years, the company has provided guidance with respect to net sales and adjusted operating profit and changes its 2024 guidance accordingly.

Updated outlook for the year 2024

Net sales in 2024 are estimated to be at the same level as in the previous year, and adjusted operating profit is estimated to be at the same level or better compared to the previous year. 

Previously stated outlook for the year 2024
