Financial guidance for 2018

^{}[]

img-17.jpeg

EBITDA outlook for 2018 is estimated at ISK 4,000-4,400 million from regular operations. The company' forecast for 2018 is currently in the lower end of the range. One-off items in the first half of the year are ISK 145 million. It is expected that the one-off items will not have material effect on the second half of the year. The estimated capital expenditure ratio is 8-10% of income and will be close to the upper bound considering front-loaded investment in relation to integration projects.
