Positive profit warning: NoHo Partners Plc to increase its profit guidance for 2022

NoHo Partners Plc is updating its outlook and increasing its guidance for EBIT margin of the restaurant business in 2022.

“We estimate that the full-year EBIT margin of the restaurant business will exceed 8 %, supported by better-than-expected earnings development in the spring and early summer and compensation decisions confirmed by the Finnish, Norwegian and Danish governments for the first half of the year,” says NoHo Partners’ CEO Aku Vikström.

New profit guidance (as of 22 June 2022):

NoHo Partners estimates that, during the financial period 2022, it will achieve total turnover of approximately MEUR 300 and an EBIT margin of over 8 % in the restaurant business.

The Group’s long-term guidance remains unchanged: The Group aims to achieve turnover of approximately MEUR 400 and an EBIT margin of approximately 10 % during 2024. The company aims for the ratio of net debt to operational EBITDA, adjusted for IFRS 16 lease liability, to be under 3 and for dividends to be paid during the strategy period 2022–2024.
