Guidance for 2022
North Media released preliminary guidance for 2022 on 2 December 2021. Following the acquisition of Boligmanager in January 2022, the FY 2022 EBIT guidance is adjusted relative to the December announcement.
Financial ambitions for 2023-24 and dividends:
North Media has updated its financial ambitions:
“FK Distribution will be facing major increases in distribution costs in 2022, like many other businesses, due to increasing delivery costs and higher prices of paper for wrappers. In addition, we’ve decided to spend more on strengthening our growth platform in Digital Services. It will impact on this year’s earnings, but it‘s the right move in our efforts to accelerate the strong momentum in BoligPortal and Ofir. Our consolidated earnings this year will not be at the level we’ve become used to but at an attractive level nonetheless,” said North Media’s Group Executive Director & CFO, Kåre Wigh.
