Citycon Oyj Inside Information 7 October 2024 at 20:15 hrs Citycon lowers its guidance for the financial year 2024. The change in guidance is mainly due to the combined effect of the executed divestments of Kongssenteret and Trekanten, the weakening NOK and SEK FX-rates in Q3/2024, postponed completion of Barkarby residential project, as well as previously announced one-time reorganisation costs following the organisational savings program. Additionally, the total number of shares increased following the share issue completed in February 2024, which also affects negatively the EPRA EPS and the adjusted EPRA EPS. Citycon's updated guidance for 2024 Direct operating profit MEUR 183-187 EPRA Earnings per share (basic) EUR 0.59-0.63 Adjusted EPRA Earnings per share (basic) EUR 0.45-0.49 The outlook assumes that there are no major changes in macroeconomic factors and no major disruptions from the war in Ukraine. These estimates are based on the existing property portfolio, including Kista 100% and impact from executed divestments, as well as existing estimates of inflation, EUR-SEK and EUR-NOK exchange rates, and interest rates. Citycon's previous guidance for 2024 (specified on 17 July 2024) Direct operating profit MEUR 185-195 EPRA Earnings per share (basic) EUR 0.62-0.68 Adjusted EPRA Earnings per share (basic) EUR 0.46-0.52 The outlook assumes that there are no major changes in macroeconomic factors and no major disruptions from the war in Ukraine.
