Financial guidance for FY2023

Mining
The long-term outlook for the mining industry remains positive driven by strong industry fundamentals. Following a strong 2022, we expect market growth in 2023 to remain largely stable versus 2022. The former TK Mining business is expected to contribute with less than DKK 3bn in revenue in 2023 and is expected to have a dilutive effect on the full year 2023 adjusted Mining EBITA margin of around 2%-point. Guidance for Adjusted EBITA margin includes adjustments for integration costs of around DKK 550m for the full year 2023.
Cement
Short-term outlook for the cement industry remains impacted by overcapacity and the potential recession is expected to impact market demand negatively over the coming period.
Non-Core Activities
Non-Core Activities EBITA margin guidance for 2023 reflects the operationally loss-making nature of the business as well as costs related to contract negotiations aimed at reducing the scope of the Non-Core Activities order backlog.
Consolidated Group
Consolidated Group guidance reflects the sum of the guidance for the three business segments. Guidance for 2023 is subject to uncertainty due to the global supply chain situation, potential recession and geopolitical turmoil.
