Q3 was characterised by improved earnings and strong organic growth. On that basis and our expectations to Q4, we adjust 2022 guidance to a revenue of DKK 13,700m and an EBITDA of DKK 1,170m up from a revenue of DKK 13,450m and an EBITDA of DKK 1,100m. The EBITDA guidance includes DKK 225m in one-off effects.

CEO Jens Andersen says: "Q3 was another strong quarter delivering high organic growth and improved earnings. Our strategic focus area Climate & Energy supported the strong performance by delivering an organic growth of slightly more than 100% in Q3. We expect Climate & Energy to reach a 2022 revenue of approximately DKK 1.2bn with solid earnings.   

We have successfully diversified our business during the last years thereby making us less dependent on new construction. The annual revenue from project sales, which is mainly related to new construction, is expected to be around DKK 2bn with slightly lower earnings than average in our Installation segment.

Based on our strong Q3 performance and our Q4 expectations, we adjust 2022 guidance to a revenue of DKK 13,700m and an EBITDA of DKK 1,170m.”

Q3 key financial messages

• Adjusted organic growth amounted to 14.0% up from 8.8% with Climate & Energy delivering adjusted organic growth of 103%.
• EBITDA increased by DKK 64m to DKK 301m
• One-off price effects resulted in an impact of approx. DKK 65m on gross profit compared to DKK 50m in Q3 2021.

Guidance 2022

Revenue guidance

We now expect revenue at DKK 13,700m, corresponding to an organic growth of approx. 12%. The Better Business project is an integral part of our strategic focuses in the Core+ strategy and is expected to reduce revenue by DKK 200m compared to 2021. Adjusted for this, we expect organic growth of approx. 14%.

EBITDA guidance

We expect EBITDA to amount to DKK 1,170m, up by DKK 70m of which DKK 25m can be attributed to additional one-off price effects.

General assumption

The guidance for 2022 assumes that the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and sanctions imposed by the European Union and other international bodies, will not have any significant knock-on effects e.g. leading to a significant drop in market activities.
