The sales and operating profit excluding restructuring costs for 2013 are expected to fall short of 2012.
Cargotec reduces its full-year 2013 guidance given in July. Due to continued slippage in merchant ship deliveries, MacGregor's sales and operating profit for the second half of 2013 will be lower than expected. However, the underlying merchant marine market has continued to improve and the offshore market has remained active. In Kalmar, overall development in the third quarter has been positive, but there were further cost overruns in certain ship-to-shore crane projects.The sales and operating profit excluding restructuring costs for 2013 are expected to fall short of 2012. Earlier guidance was for sales to be slightly below 2012 and operating profit excluding restructuring costs to be at or slightly below 2012 level.
Certain deliveries for MacGregor will be delayed and customers are postponing services. MacGregor's 2013 operating profit margin is expected to be slighty below 10 percent, as 2013 sales are falling short of the previously expected approximately EUR 850 million and now are expected to total closer to EUR 800 million. Cargotec's sales are expected to be slightly below 2012 and operating profit excluding restructuring costs to be at or slighty below 2012 level.This outlook is excluding the Hatlapa acquisition announced in July.
Cargotec’s sales are expected to be slightly below 2012 and operating profit excluding restructuring costs to be at 2012 level. Positive impact of efficiency improvement measures implemented will be weighted on the second half of the year.
