Future outlook Q4 2019

Financial statements release for 2019, published on 5 February 2020

Estimates for the outlook for the net sales and comparable operating profit for Kesko Group's continuing operations are given for the 12-month period following the reporting period (1/2020-12/2020) in comparison with the 12 months preceding the end of the reporting period (1/2019-12/2019). The outlook estimate includes the impact of IFRS 16 Leases on the Group's comparable operating profit for both the 12-month period following the reporting period as well as the 12-month period preceding the reporting period.

The general economic situation and the expected trend in consumer demand vary in Kesko's different operating countries. Uncertainty related to general economic development has grown in Kesko's operating countries and the pace of economic growth is expected to slow down. In the Finnish grocery trade, intense competition is expected to continue, but the market is expected to grow. In the Northern European construction market, volumes in new housing construction have returned to normal from the high levels of top years, and the focus is expected to shift to renovation building and business premises construction. In the Finnish car trade, the market is expected to be slightly lower than the long-term average.

Kesko continues the determined customer-oriented transformation of its business and execution of its strategy. In comparable terms, the net sales for continuing operations for the next 12 months are expected to exceed the level of the previous 12 months. The comparable operating profit for continuing operations for the next 12-month period is expected to exceed the level of the preceding 12 months.
