- The external (forensic) investigation initiated as a result of the irregularities in Mexico continues:
- Provisional conclusions based on analyses of a very large amount of data including emails and chat conversations indicate no evidence of fraudulent activity or asset misappropriation.
- Management will provide further information when the final report is available.
- Based on the knowledge the Group now has about the operations of the Mexican FurnMaster unit, adaptation of the business in Mexico was initiated in the first half of 2024/25, where loss-making commercial contracts are now being discontinued. The half-year is therefore negatively affected by non-recurring restructuring costs of adapting the unit. In addition, the Group has paid non-recurring advisory costs which affect both discontinued and continuing operations.
Expectations for the full year 2024/25
Management expects that the challenging market conditions affecting the furniture industry will continue in the second half of 2024/25 as a result of continued geopolitical risks and uncertainty about tariffs, inflation, currencies and interest rate trends.
However, the continuing operations have delivered firm growth in revenue and profit in the first half year and management expects that this trend will continue.
After the first half-year, the expectations for revenue of DKK 485 – 530 million (0 – 10% growth) and operating profit (EBIT) of DKK 20 – 30 million (DKK 19.7 million) from the continuing operations are maintained.
However, a high level of uncertainty continues to surround these expectations as a result of the above- mentioned market risks.
