Etteplan Oyj withdraws its financial guidance for 2020 for the time being

Etteplan withdraws its financial guidance for year 2020 for the time being due to the uncertainty caused by the corona virus pandemic.

The global COVID-19 corona virus pandemic has a significant impact on global economy and market situation. The most important factor affecting Etteplan’s business is the global development of the machinery and metal industry. Due to the prevailing uncertainty on the market there have been unforeseen changes in Etteplan´s customer demand. The prolonging of the situation will have a negative impact on financial development that is very difficult to estimate at the moment. Therefore Etteplan withdraws its financial guidance for 2020 for the time being.

Previous financial guidance 2020: We expect the revenue for 2020 to increase clearly and operating profit (EBIT) to be at the same level or to improve compared to 2019.

Etteplan will not provide any financial guidance for 2020 for the time being. The guidance will be issued when the company is in a better position to assess the impact of the corona virus pandemic on Etteplan´s business.
