Cargotec reduces its full-year 2013 guidance
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE, 15 OCTOBER 2013 AT 9.00 AM EEST
Cargotec reduces its full-year 2013 guidance given in July. Due to continued
slippage in merchant ship deliveries, MacGregor's sales and operating profit for
the second half of 2013 will be lower than expected. However, the underlying
merchant marine market has continued to improve and the offshore market has
remained active. In Kalmar, overall development in the third quarter has been
positive, but there were further cost overruns in certain ship-to-shore crane
projects.
The sales and operating profit excluding restructuring costs for 2013 are
expected to fall short of 2012. Earlier guidance was for sales to be slightly
below 2012 and operating profit excluding restructuring costs to be at or
slightly below 2012 level.
According to preliminary results, Cargotec's third quarter order intake was EUR
724 million, sales EUR 752 million and operating profit excluding restructuring
costs EUR 35 million. MacGregor's preliminary third quarter sales were EUR 200
million and operating profit margin excluding restructuring costs 8.9 percent.
EUR 9 million of additional costs for Kalmar projects were booked in the third
quarter.
Cargotec will report its third quarter results on 24 October 2013.
