Outlook:
NRC Group is strongly positioned in a growing market with a substantial tender pipeline. In 2024, NRC Group expects investments in rail to be at same level as in 2023, based on national budgets and national transportation plans in Norway, Sweden and Finland.
NRC Group continues its focus on measures to improve profitability. For 2023, NRC Group previously guided a slight decrease in revenue and a moderate increase in EBIT adj. margins compared to 2022. Following the development in Finland, we now expect an EBIT adj. margin in line with 2022 and still a slight decrease in revenue. The Group is confirming the commitment to achieving long-term profitability above 5%.
The forthcoming strategy period, navigating the Group from mid-2024 until the end of 2028, will be presented in a Capital Markets Update during May 2024.
