JULY 2024 AT 8:30 AM (EEST)
Kalmar specifies its outlook for
2024
Kalmar Corporation (“Kalmar”)
provides an updated specified outlook for 2024 as a standalone
company following the completion of the partial demerger of
Cargotec Corporation (the “Demerger”,
“Cargotec”) and the registration of Kalmar in the
Finnish Trade Register on 30 June 2024. Updated outlook for
2024
Kalmar’s operating profit margin as a standalone
company is estimated to be above 11 percent in 2024.
Original outlook and background for the
updated outlook
According to the guidance published by Cargotec
on 1 February 2024, the comparable operating profit margin of
Cargotec’s Kalmar business was estimated1 to be above 11 percent in
2024. Furthermore, in the guidance regarding Kalmar published by
Cargotec on 22 May 2024, it was estimated that the costs incurred
from operating as an independent company after the Demerger will
have a negative effect of approximately 1–2 percentage points
annually as compared to the result of Cargotec’s Kalmar business.
The comparable operating profit margin of Cargotec’s Kalmar
business was 13.5 percent during the first quarter of 2024.
The outlook has been updated following the
completion of the Demerger to provide guidance on operating profit
margin on the Kalmar group level, which incorporates the costs
incurred by Kalmar from operating as an independent company as of
30 June 2024.
