Outlook

  • Modest growth indicated by certain external macro forecasts, large variations between markets
  • Scandinavia: Continued advertising recovery expected, although markets still expected to be volatile, with varying development in different advertising categories. 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 1.7 billion by end of 2011 – former target was NOK 1.6 billion
  • Targeted investments in new positions for Schibsted Classified Media (Blocket copies) expected to affect the P&L with approximately NOK 250 million in 2010 as a whole
  • Efforts to maintain and develop number 1 positions within print newspapers and online news/services will continue. Focus on user payment for online newspapers
