2024
Impairments and write-offs taken in Q2 and Q4 2023 are currently negatively impacting ROCE based on last twelve months EBIT.
Q1 2024 only is at 12.4%.
With EBIT expectations of EURM 39 – 44 for 2024, ROCE will improve through the year to a level of 12 – 13% by Q4 2024, supported also by a reduced average Capital Employed.

Strong revenue growth in the core businesses with higher contribution will more than compensate for the expected decline in the non-core business.
Further topline impact from additional price adjustments to compensate for potential material cost increases / inflation. In combination with internal productivity measures, the bottom-line effect needs to be eliminated.
Aggressive cost reduction in the non-core further contributing.

+11% Automotive active safety system market CAGR (2022-2032)


Updated regulations for passenger vehicle (PV) and commercial vehicle (CV) markets drive further enhancements in conventional ICE engines and increase pressure on OEMS to accelerate introduction of CO2 neutral vehicles.
Consumer behavior and development of needed infrastructure to support certain technologies (electrification, hydrogen ) is challenging, forcing to deploy a diverse range of technologies.
