Future outlook Q1 2019

Interim report Q1/2019, published on 25 April 2019

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 (4/2019-3/2020) in comparison with the 12 months preceding the end of the reporting period (4/2018-3/2019). The outlook is based on the IFRS standards that took effect on 1 January 2019, and 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. 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 B2B sales is expected to continue stronger than the growth in the retail market. The market is expected to grow in the Nordic and Baltic countries, but at a somewhat slower rate.

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.
