As a result of the divestiture of Elanders Tryckeri AB in Kungsbacka
and the acquisition of Sommer Corporate Media GmbH & Co. KG, changes
in the structure of the Group motivated Elanders to review its
financial goals concerning operating margins and return on capital
employed. The other financial goals remain unchanged.
New financial goals:
The operating margin for the Group will be 8-12 per cent (previously
7-10 per cent) and for the business areas:
* Infologistics 7-10 per cent
* User Manuals 10-15 per cent
Return on capital employed will be at least 14 per cent (previously
at least 12 per cent).
Unchanged financial goals:
The equity ratio will be at least 30 per cent.
The debt/equity ratio will be less than 1.
Over time investments will not exceed depreciation or 5 per cent of
turnover.
Turnover and operating profit for the Group will increase annually by
8-12 per cent, which for the business areas means:
* Infologistics 7-10 per cent
* User Manuals 15-20 per cent
At least half of our expansion will be through organic growth.
