Lindab International AB :Euroconstruct forecasts have been revised downwards compared to November 2011
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Euroconstruct forecasts released on 15 June 2012 predict that the buildings
segment in Europe (residential and non-residential) will decrease by 1.5 percent
in 2012 (down from 0.2 percent growth in the November report) and increase by
0.7 percent in 2013, (down from 2.2 percent increase previously).
Lindab's sales to the markets covered by Euroconstruct represent around 85
percent of Lindab's total sales. The Lindab markets not covered by Euroconstruct
are primarily Russia and Romania. After adjusting Euroconstruct's forecasts to
take account of Lindab's geographical mix, segment exposure and late
cyclicality, the underlying market is predicted to decrease by approximately
0.5 percent in 2012 (down from 1 percent growth) and show approximately 0.5
percent growth for 2013 (down from 2 percent growth). The main downward
revisions affecting Lindab concern the Swedish market, particularly the
residential segment, and the CEE markets.
Lindab's President and CEO David Brodetsky, comments:
"Due to the European macro-economic situation with loss of momentum in many
economies, it is no surprise that Euroconstruct has downgraded its forecasts.
The latest forecasts point to a gradually improving underlying demand from
2013. The flatter market expectations underline the importance of continuing our
own initiatives to support the 2014 EBIT goal of 10 percent for the Group."
