Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S opjusterer helårsforventningerne

Gennem 2020 har COVID-19 relaterede ændringer i forbrugeradfærd ført til højere end forventet forbrug af håndrullede cigarer i USA. Den højere efterspørgsel er taget til i den sidste del af året i Gruppens amerikanske online distributionsforretning såvel som i den fysiske detailhandel i USA og Gruppen har fortsat den gode udvikling. Januar-november 2020 er den organiske vækst i nettoomsætningen 7% for Gruppen og højere end tidligere forventet.

Som følge af den stærke efterspørgsel, er Gruppens finansielle udvikling i 4. kvartal 2020 bedre end forventet. De højere mængder i den amerikanske online distributionsforretning og i den fysiske detailhandel har positivt påvirket den operationelle gearing og har resulteret i stærkere overskudsgrader og en stigning i den organiske vækst i EBITDA. De øvrige forretningskategorier har udviklet sig som forventet.

Samlet set er Gruppens finansielle udvikling i 4. kvartal bedre end forventet, men den er dog fortsat negativt påvirket af lagerforskydningerne i de foregående kvartaler samt meget stærke sammenligningstal, som delvist skyldes ændringen af tobaksafgifterne i Frankrig i 4. kvartal 2019, som nævnt i forbindelse med 3. kvartalsmeddelelsen.

Det var forventet, at der i 4. kvartal ville ske en negativ tidsmæssig effekt af forskydninger i leverandørgælden, som ikke er indtruffet. For helåret 2020 vil dette resultere i en estimeret positiv effekt på de frie pengestrømme før virksomhedskøb på >DKK 200 millioner.  

Baseret på ovennævnte ændres Gruppens helårsforventninger for 2020 som følger:

  • EBITDA: Organisk vækst >13% (tidligere: >9%)
  • Frie pengestrømme før virksomhedskøb: >DKK 1.250 mio. (tidligere: >DKK 1.000 mio.)

Ændringerne i indkøbs– og forbrugeradfærden og den stigende efterspørgsel efter håndrullede cigarer vil i lyset af de fortsatte COVID-19 effekter sandsynligvis fortsætte ind i det nye år. Yderligere detaljer for de finansielle helårsforventninger for 2021 vil blive udmeldt i forbindelse med fremlæggelsen af Scandinavian Tobacco Group´s årsrapport 2020 den 10. marts 2021.
