Expectations for the full year 2024/25
Management raised its expectations for the Group's activities after 8 months of the financial year, and again on 14 August 2025, as the results realized for the first 10 months of the financial year for the continuing operations exceeded expectations.
Previously, management expected revenue for the 2024/25 financial year (for continuing operations) to be in the range of DKK 495–520 million and a primary result (EBIT) of DKK 25–35 million, compared to DKK 19.7 million in the 2023/24 financial year.
After ten months, revenue for the financial year 2024/25 is expected to be in the range of DKK 510–520 million and a primary profit (EBIT) of DKK 35–40 million (DKK 19.7 million in 2023/24).
Management expects the challenging market conditions affecting the furniture industry will continue as a result of continued geopolitical risks as well as uncertainty about tariffs, inflation, currencies and interest rate trends. However, the continuing operations have continued to deliver growth in revenue and profit, and the management expects that this trend will continue.
However, uncertainty continues to surround these expectations as a result of the above-mentioned market risks.
