Inside information, profit warning: KH Group Plc lowers
its guidance for 2024
KH Group Plc lowers its guidance for 2024.
In connection with the stock exchange release on 7 June 2024
regarding the sale of HTJ, the company updated its pro forma
guidance for 2024 as follows: net sales of EUR 370–390 million and
operating profit of EUR 9–13 million including the capital gain
from Indoor’s real estate sale in Estonia. The previous guidance
given on 30 April 2024 was updated only by excluding the
discontinued HTJ figures from the earlier net sales and operating
profit estimates. At the same time the company communicated that in
the future all HTJ financials will be reported as discontinued
operations.
According to the updated guidance, the company estimates, with
the current Group structure, to reach pro forma net sales of EUR
340–360 million and operating profit of EUR 4–7 million in
2024.
The lowering of the guidance is based on lower-than-expected net
sales and operating profit in Indoor Group both in the first and
second half of year 2024. General market uncertainty, labour union
strikes in Finland and the implementation of Indoor Group’s new ERP
system have negative impacts on KH Group’s net sales and operating
profit. The furniture market environment is not expected to improve
during the second half of 2024.
For the Q2 2024, KH Group is expected to fall short of the pro
forma figures of the comparison period. In the comparison period Q2
2023, excluding the discontinued HTJ figures, pro forma net sales
was EUR 93.2 million and operating profit was EUR 0.3 million.
The company will publish its January–June 2024 Half-Year Report
on Friday, 16 August 2024.
