Innofactor re-evaluates the outlook on 2013
Innofactor Plc Stock Exchange Release, October 23, 2013, 08:30 Finnish time
Innofactor re-evaluates the outlook on 2013 as the schedule of costs and
synergy benefits related to the June 6, 2013, acquisition of atBusiness Oy have
become more accurate.
There continue to be slight uncertainties related to the outlook for 2013 due
to the finalization of the integration of a major acquisition. Innofactor's net
sales in 2013 are expected to be about EUR 32-34 million (2012: EUR 18.8
million). Operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in
2013 is expected to be about EUR 3-4 million (2012: EUR 1.2 million).
Innofactor's earlier estimate was that uncertainties were expected due to the
integration of a major acquisition and that, therefore, no detailed estimate of
the outlook could earlier be provided. Innofactor's net sales in 2013 were
expected to be about EUR 34-37 million (2012: EUR 18.8 million). Operating
profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in 2013 was expected to be
about EUR 3-5 million (2012: EUR 1.2 million).
The atBusiness Oy integration project will continue until January 31, 2014. The
Espoo sites, hosting over 60 percent of Innofactor's employees, will be
combined as of January 1, 2014, after which time it is assumed the majority of
the synergy benefits will be realized. Innofactor has decided to postpone some
of the recruitments planned for the end of 2013 to 2014, which will decrease
net sales in 2013 but will not have a significant impact on EBITDA. Innofactor
will specifically focus on maximizing cross selling and cross resourcing
opportunities.
