EBITDA was in line with expectations despite a slower market recovery than initially expected. Consequently, EBITDA guidance remains unchanged at DKK 600m, whereas we revise revenue guidance downwards from DKK 12,500m to DKK 12,300m.

CEO Jens Andersen says:
“In September, adjusted organic growth amounted to -0.6%. This shows that recovery continues to take root, especially in Denmark. Other markets are also showing signs of quarter-by-quarter recovery, but at a slower pace than initially expected.

As for industrial high-capacity heat pumps we are seeing an increase in the conversion rate, which results in increasing orders.

Consequently, we reconfirm our EBITDA guidance of DKK 600m for 2024.”

General assumption
Our 2024 guidance continues to be impacted by the unpredictable market outlook caused by macroeconomic uncertainties. However, we expect the macroeconomic situation to recover towards the end of the year albeit at a slower pace than initially expected.
