At a meeting of the Board of Directors today next years budget was approved and subsequently the Company has decided to issue an EBITDA guidance for the year 2021 in the range of EUR 68 to 77 million.

The EBITDA guidance is dependent on number of risk and uncertainty factors which may cause the actual performance in the future to be significantly different from what is stated in the guidance. Special note is made to the fact that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global economies remains uncertain for coming months. Furthermore the effect of BREXIT on transportation is uncertain.
