Full-year guidance for 2022/23:

• In Company announcement no. 15 of 7 December 2022, we stated that Management’s full-year guidance for 2022/23 was revenue in the range of DKKm 430-470; EBITDA in the range of DKKm 40-55 and EBIT in the range of DKKm 10-25.
• Based on the reported revenue, EBITDA and EBIT for the first half of the 2022/23 financial year and in view of the major uncertainties that continue to exist, Management downgraded its full-year guidance for 2022/23 on 9 June 2023.

• Revenue in the DKKm 400-430 range (2021/22: DKKm 380.9).
• Operating profit before depreciation, amortisation and impairment and special items (EBITDA) in the range of DKKm 35-50 (2021/22: DKKm 23.4).
• Operating profit before special items (EBIT) in the range of DKKm 5-20 (2021/22: a loss of DKKm 3.8).
• The full-year guidance remains subject to significant uncertainty, in part because of the short order horizon.
