MLP is anticipating EBIT in 2018 to remain at around the level of operating EBIT recorded in 2017 – EBIT is likely to increase significantly, as there are no special expenses scheduled for 2018
- Targets achieved in 2017 MLP is benefiting from the strategic further development of the last few years.
- Transformation of MLP to be continued in 2018. In focus: further digitalisation, further diversification of the revenue basis, as well as strengthening the university segment.
- Despite comprehensive investments for the future: Our goal is to confirm the earnings base achieved in 2017.
