ALSO Holding AG provided earnings guidance for the year 2018. The company is increasing its medium-term goals compared to the previous year: The Group is targeting an increase in net sales to between EUR 10 billion and EUR 14 billion and an EBITDA margin between 2.1% and 2.6%. Combined with the optimization of the structure of the business models, this will contribute to an increase in profitability. In 2018, business opportunities will also arise for the company as a result of changes in the competitive structure. Net sales increase for the full year is therefore anticipated to be above the market growth of 1.5% forecasted by Gartner. With regard to consolidated net profit, the increase is once again expected to be higher than forecasted sales growth.
