Outlook for 2012
The text below is an extract from Pöyry PLC's Q1/2012 Interim Report published on 25 April 2012
The Group outlook remains unchanged.
Pöyry’s businesses are predominantly driven by clients’ new capital investments and most of the businesses are also inherently late in the cycle. It is difficult to predict the timing of clients’ new investment decisions and project start-ups. The uncertainty around the general economic outlook is high, which may also impact investment activity in business segments that are relevant to Pöyry’s operations.
Based on the current strong order stock and outlook for new orders, the Group’s net sales in 2012 are expected to remain stable compared with 2011. The comparable operating profit for 2012 is expected to improve clearly from the operating profit, excluding restructuring costs, in 2011.
Updated outlook concerning business groups:
The net sales outlook in the Energy and Urban business groups remains unchanged. Net sales in the Industry business group is expected to improve clearly and in the Management Consulting business group to remain stable compared with 2011.
The operating profit outlook in the Urban and Management Consulting business groups remains unchanged. Comparable operating profit in the Energy business group is expected to remain stable and in the Industry business group to improve clearly compared with 2011.
