HusCompagniet announces full-year financial guidance for 2023
Our financial guidance for 2023 reflects a continuing reduced visibility in a market with unusual uncertainties driven by the geopolitical situation combined with high inflation and volatile interest rates. The potential impact from these factors are elements adversely affecting HusCompagniet. Our outlook for 2023 will therefore comprise a wider guidance range and less quantified assumptions than previous years.
Outlook for 2023:
- Revenue is expected to be DKK 2,200-2,500 million
- EBITDA before special items is expected to be DKK 75-125 million
- EBIT is expected to be DKK 25-75 million
EBIT guidance adjustment includes special items effect of DKK 5-10 million from reorganisation.
Assumptions for the 2023 outlook
The 2023 guidance is based on no severe disruption of supply chains emerging, on raw material prices not significantly exceeding current levels and that the market will slowly pick-up during 2023.
Current expectations for 2023 deliveries are between 900 and 1,100 houses.
Revenue from the semi-detached segment is assumed to be between DKK 350-450 million.
Special items between DKK 5-10 million related to reorganisation in all segments and management changes in Sweden.
Dividends are suspended in 2023 leading to no distribution to shareholders in 2023. HusCompagniet expects dividend payments once the leverage is back at appropriate levels. HusCompagniet has initiated a review of the appropriate capital structure going forward.
