Caverion repeats its revenue guidance, lowers its guidance on EBITDA and continues a positive progression towards reaching a negative working capital

Caverion Corporation lowers its guidance announced in January 2014 regarding EBITDA for 2014. Caverion now estimates that the Group’s EBITDA for 2014 excluding non-recurring items will be below the previous guidance and will remain at the previous year's level (EBITDA excluding non-recurring items in 2013: EUR 81.7 million). The company repeats its previous guidance regarding revenue.

Turnaround of the business after the demerger has taken a longer time than expected and is still partly ongoing. Projects in Norway and Denmark have continued to dilute the profitability in April−June 2014. Furthermore, Caverion has reviewed the project business more closely in all the divisions and revised the cost estimates and provisions relating to some low-performing projects in the overall project portfolio.

There are no changes to the previously communicated market outlook. The profitability of the Norwegian project business is expected to improve during the second half of 2014. The target to reach negative working capital by the end of 2016 is progressing according to plan.

New guidance:

Caverion estimates that the Group’s revenue with comparable exchange rates and EBITDA excluding non-recurring items for 2014 will remain at the previous year's level.

In 2014 the targeted EBITDA level will be reached by improving the operational efficiency, growing the service and maintenance business as well as increasing the project business in Germany. The potential changes in general macroeconomic environment nonetheless may have an effect on Caverion’s business and customers.

Previous guidance announced on January 28, 2014:

Caverion estimates that the Group’s revenue for 2014 with comparable exchange rates will remain at the previous year's level and EBITDA for 2014 excluding non-recurring items will grow clearly to EUR 90–110 million.

In 2014 the EBITDA increase will be executed by improving the operational efficiency, growing the service and maintenance business as well as increasing the project business in Germany. The potential changes in general macroeconomic environment nonetheless may have an effect on Caverion’s business and customers.

Additional information will be provided in the Interim Report for January−June 2014, which will be published on July 22, 2014. A briefing for the media, analysts and investors will be arranged in conjunction with the interim report.
