Mid- to long-term revenue targets for Nordic Marketplaces and News Media confirmed
EBITDA margin for News Media expected in the lower end of the 10-12% target range in 2022, given higher costs from content investments and increased paper prices
Implementing cost measures in eCommerce & Distribution to curb EBITDA losses in the second half of 2022
Macroeconomic developments, and a weakened revenue trend throughout Q2 in Jobs and advertising have increased uncertainty and downside risk for the revenue development in the second half of 2022
Provided that the macroeconomic development will not substantially deteriorate for the rest of the year, we expect Group EBITDA for the full-year will be a single-digit percentage point lower than in 2021
