NORMA Group SE Provides Financial Guidance for 2025

NORMA Group SE's Management Board announced the financial guidance for 2025. The overview includes the ongoing market challenges and plans for selling the water management business. This sale introduces uncertainties around transaction costs, estimated at EUR 20 million, and unforeseen expenses related to organizational changes. The financial outlook anticipates adjustments in the operating result to account for these exceptional costs.

The Group projects sales between EUR 1.1 billion and EUR 1.2 billion, slightly below the consensus of EUR 1,198 million. The adjusted EBIT margin is forecasted to range from 6% to 8%, compared to the market expectation of 8.4%. Additionally, net operating cash flow is expected to be between EUR 75 million and EUR 95 million, with consensus at EUR 91 million.

Demand is anticipated to remain low during the first half of 2025, with a recovery expected in the latter part of the year. A complete outlook report will be released in the 2024 Annual Report on March 31, 2025.
