Ponsse changes performance guidance for 2022
Ponsse issues a new performance guidance for its continuing operations.
New guidance for 2022
The company’s euro-denominated operating result in 2022 is expected to be on a par with the comparable operating result of its continuing operations in 2021 (EUR 50.0 million, 8.2 per cent of net sales).
The company’s relative profitability is expected to decrease significantly, however, due to divesting its Russian business, difficulties in the availability of parts and components, and heavy inflation.
Reporting and guiding of continuing operations
On 28 June 2022, Ponsse announced having signed the deed for the sale of all shares of OOO Ponsse, the subsidiary responsible for PONSSE services in Russia and Belarus. Ponsse has classified the sold functions as assets for sale and reported them as discontinued operations. As a result, company is from now reporting and guiding its continuing operations.
Previous guidance for 2022
In the performance guidance issued by Ponsse on 25 April 2022, the euro-denominated operating profit in 2022 was estimated to be significantly lower than in 2021 due to the disruption of imports to Russia, difficulties in the availability of parts and components, and heavy inflation.
Ponsse will publish its half-year report on August 9, 2022
