Nurminen Logistics updates its outlook for 2015

Nurminen Logistics Plc                                                 Stock Exchange Release 5 May 2015 at 3.30 p.m.    

Nurminen Logistics expects its net sales, operating result and earnings per share to decline from the level of 2014. If the company’s plan to sell its railway wagons will realize, it will have a strong positive effect on operating result. Forecasting operating result include significant factors of uncertainty due to the development of rouble exchange rate in the beginning of the year and its outlook on the end of the year.

In its previous estimate (Board’s Report on Operations and Financial Statements 2014 on 12 March 2015), the company expected its net sales, operating result and earnings per share to improve compared to 2014.

The company’s long-term goal is to grow at a faster rate than the market, on average by over 15% per year. Going forward, over 50% of net sales will come from the growth markets of Russia and its neighbouring countries. The company’s further long-term goals are to improve profitability, achieve an operating profit level of 10% and return on equity of 20%.

Nurminen Logistics will publish its Interim Report for January–March on 7 May 2015.
