Outlook

Outlook

  • Some flattening out or modest growth indicated by certain external macro forecasts, large variations between markets
  • Scandinavia: Advertising markets still weak. However, some limited underlying improvements for certain categories – particularly for online classifieds, especially real estate. Online classifieds expected to develop better than print. Continued weak circulation trend for tabloid newspapers. Subscription based newspapers more stable
  • International: Structural migration to online media will continue to support most Schibsted activities. Independent macro forecasts show few signs of short term improvement, particularly weak markets expected in Spain and Baltics
  • Accumulated effect of profitability programme expected to reach NOK 1.6 billion by end of 2011
  • Newsprint prices expected to decline 15-20 % in 2010
  • Targeted investments in a focused portfolio of online growth initiatives will continue
  • Efforts to maintain and develop number 1 positions within print newspapers and online news/services will continue
