Future outlook 2017 Q3
Kesko's interim report for the period 1 January to 30 September 2017, published on 25 October 2017
Estimates for the outlook for Kesko Group's net sales and comparable operating profit are given for the 12-month period following the reporting period (10/2017-9/2018) in comparison with the 12 months preceding the end of the reporting period (10/2016-9/2017).
The general economic situation and the expected trend in consumer demand vary in Kesko's different operating countries. In Finland, the trading sector is expected to grow. In the Finnish grocery trade, intense competition is expected to continue, although, as purchasing power increases, the importance of quality will be emphasised more than previously. In the building and technical trade, the growth in the B2B business is expected to continue stronger than the growth in the B2C business. In the Nordic countries and the Baltics, the market is expected to grow but at a somewhat slower rate. The trend in the Russian market is expected to remain modest.
In comparable terms, the net sales for the next 12 months are expected to exceed the level of the previous 12 months. Due to divestments and restructuring, Kesko Group's net sales for the next 12 months are expected to fall below the level of the previous 12 months. That development results from the divestments of the Russian grocery trade, the K-maatalous business, the Asko and Sotka furniture trade, the Yamarin boat business and Kesko's Yamaha representation as well as store closures and the transfer of Suomen Lähikauppa stores to retailers.
The comparable operating profit for the next 12-month period is expected to exceed the level of the preceding 12 months.
