Ekornes: Christmas 2011
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The Ekornes Group's factories in Norway will close for the Christmas holidays as
from 23.12.2011 and will reopen on January 2. The traditional company Christmas
lunch will be held at the company's main plant in Sykkylven today, 22.12.11, at
which there will also be a brief presentation of the year 2011.
The turnover for 2011 is estimated to end at approx. NOK 2.76 billion, which
represents a decline of approx. 4% increase compared to 2010. The preliminary
consolidation has been based on exchange rates up till end November 2011.
The estimates indicate that the employee bonus will amount to 54% of a monthly
salary. This bonus level is based on the operating margin before bonuses to be
in the range of 15-17.9% of the turnover.
The company's intake of orders is somewhat lower than last year. We estimate the
order intake in fourth quarter to be NOK 800 mill., which is around 3% lower
than last year (in fixed exchange rates). Order backlog as at the end of the
year is estimated to amount to
NOK 320 million, which is approx. NOK 35 million lower than last year.
It should be noted that the final figures will depend on the consolidation rates
(exchange rates), deliveries from the company's warehouses in the USA and Japan
until 31.12.11, and the order intake during the last few days of the year.
