No. 8 2024 Q1 EBITDA on par with expectations
Q1 revenue and EBITDA are in line with our expectations. We
confirm our 2024 EBITDA guidance of DKK 600m.
CEO Jens Andersen says:"As expected,
all segments showed negative growth in Q1 2024, with March
performing slightly better than January and February.
In April, Solar Danmark’s growth almost edged into
positive territory. As a result of Solar Danmark winning more
projects compared to the same period last year, we remain confident
this positive development will continue for the rest of
2024.
Consequently, we confirm our 2024 EBITDA guidance of DKK
600m.”
Q1 key financial messages
- Q1 EBITDA is on par with
expectations.
- Net working capital at the end of the
quarter continued to fall.
- 2024 EBITDA guidance of DKK 600m
confirmed.
Adjusted organic growth reflects an adjustment for the early
timing of Easter when compared to Q1 2023. However, the effect from
the working days leading up to Easter, which traditionally see
lower business activities, has not been adjusted in the organic
growth.

GuidanceWe confirm our revenue guidance of DKK
12,500m and EBITDA guidance of DKK 600m.
General assumptionOur 2024 guidance is still
impacted by an unpredictable market outlook due to heightened
geopolitical and macroeconomic tension. However, we expect a
recovery in the macroeconomic situation towards the end of the
year.
We have implemented, and will continue to implement, mitigating
measures, including cost containment, process improvements and the
necessary staff reductions.
