Asiakastieto Group Plc adjusts its financial guidance for 2017

ASIAKASTIETO GROUP PLC, STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 21 JUNE 2017, 2.40 P.M. EEST

Asiakastieto Group Plc adjusts its financial guidance for 2017

Asiakastieto Group's net sales have increased faster than anticipated in the first five months of the year 2017, being 13,2 %. In its future outlooks, Asiakastieto Group has previously reported the net sales growth rate to be within the long-term target (5 - 10%). The faster growth is especially due to the good growth of new services and the increase in volume. 

Asiakastieto Group expects its net sales growth rate to be around the higher end of long term target of 5 - 10%. When assessing the second quarter, it has to be taken into account that the quarter has three working days less than in 2016.

According to what has been guided earlier, the adjusted euro-nominated net operating profit is expected to grow from last year but at a slower pace than net sales.

Asiakastieto Group publishes the Half Year Financial Report on 3 August 2017.
