Martela Corporation, inside information, 11.12.2024, at 10:45
Order intake has continued to grow strongly during the current quarter. Martela's key market areas continue to see positive signals and stronger demand. However, the realisation of the increase in order intake into revenue increase shall take place later than previously expected, and a significant part of the deliveries planned for the rest of the year will be postponed until the beginning of next year. In addition, the fourth-quarter result will be weaken down especially by deliveries of few projects and product families with low margins. For the above reasons, Martela lowers its full-year revenue and profit forecast. The outlook for the early part of 2025 is more positive than in the corresponding period this year.
