Raute's 2026 net sales are expected to be between EUR 125-160 million and comparable EBITDA to be between EUR 10-19 million.
Previous guidance for 2026: (published on February 12, 2026):
Raute's 2026 net sales are expected to be between EUR 135-170 million and comparable EBITDA to be between EUR 10-19 million.
Rationale for the new guidance:
Global economic and geopolitical uncertainty has further intensified during the first quarter, leading to continued postponement of customers' investment decisions and delayed recovery of Raute's order intake. At the same time Raute's continued strong operational execution and cost savings support maintaining the comparable EBITDA guidance.
