BHG Group today announce an estimated negative adjusted EBIT in the range of SEK -70 million to -105 million for the first quarter of 2023. The estimate is based on actual unaudited results for January and February and our updated best estimate for March. The uncertainty is high since March historically have accounted for a significant part of the EBIT in the first quarter. The liquidity position continues to be strong.
"We still have to finalise March but as we mentioned in the fourth quarter report, we expected a challenging 2023, especially the first half. Since then, the market has been weaker than we anticipated, with soft demand and high inventory levels putting pressure on prices and profitability. We remain focused on our actions to reduce both costs and inventory. Our liquidity position remains strong" says Gustaf Öhrn, President and CEO of BHG Group.
The full interim report for the first quarter 2023 will be released on 27 April 2023, as previously announced. BHG Group enters silent period ahead of the Q1 report on 27 March 2023.
