Caverion Corporation Stock exchange release October 19, 2016 at 9.00 a.m. EEST
In the third quarter of 2016, Caverion Corporation continued the restructuring of itsoperations and the review of itsproject portfolio. As a result of the review, several projectswere still identified with challenges in project management and execution. The identified challenges mainly relate to divisionsSweden, Denmark-Norway, Germany and Industrial Solutions. Based on the review, Caverion has completed and will complete more conservative cost estimate adjustments and provisions related to itsproject portfolio. The adjustmentshave an impact in the Group's third and fourth quarter results in 2016.
Caverion has implemented a stricter project tendering process in the Group since the second quarter. As a result Caverion's order backlog has slightly decreased in the third quarter compared to the previous year. This has led to a need to somewhat increase the Group's restructuring actions from the previously estimated level.
Caverion now estimates that the total personnel reductions for 2016 will affect approximately 1,000 employees (previous estimate approximately 700 employees). The total cost estimate of the restructuring actions is EUR 20-24 million during 2016 (previous estimate approximately EUR 22-26 million). The positive impacts of the restructuring actions are expected to be visible in 2017.
Caverion Group's preliminary EBITDA excluding restructuring costs amounted to EUR 19.5 million and reported EBITDA to EUR 13.8 million in July –September 2016. In 2015, Caverion Group reported an EBITDA of EUR 21.3 million in July–September.
Caverion specifies its guidance for 2016.
Caverion estimates that the Group's revenue for 2016 will remain at the previous year's level (2015: EUR 2,443 million) and the Group's EBITDA excluding restructuring costs for 2016 will be in the range EUR 40-50 million (2015: EUR 91.5 million).
Caverion estimates that the Group's revenue for 2016 will remain at the previous year's level (2015: EUR 2,443 million) and the Group's EBITDA excluding restructuring costs for 2016 will decrease clearly from the previous year's EBITDA level (2015: EUR 91.5 million).
