Cramo redefines its guidance for 2014

Cramo redefines its guidance for 2014. Cramo Plc’s redefined guidance for 2014 is: ”In 2014, Cramo Group’s sales and EBITA margin will be lower compared to 2013.

Cramo Plc’s previous guidance for 2014 was: “In 2014, Cramo Group’s EBITA margin will continue to improve compared to 2013. Cramo Group’s sales is also expected to grow in 2014, however, exact sales is exposed to changing exchange rates.”

Cramo is currently seeing signs of recovery in several rental markets. However, the general economic situation in Europe has reduced Cramo’s sales expectations for the third quarter of 2014. The exchange rates are also having a negative impact on the Group´s euro-based sales. Cramo is putting increased efforts to its transition program in Central Europe, but the effects are taking longer than expected. The Group´s other performance improvement actions are proceeding according to plan.

Cramo’s interim report for 1-9/2014 will be published on 29 October 2014.
