Tulikivi Corporation lowers its outlook for turnover and operating result for the year 2013, so that the turnover will be lower than in the year 2012. The operating result is expected to be in line with the year 2012.

In an uncertain market situation Tulikivi’s sales have not developed as estimated. Therefore, the company revises its outlook for the whole year’s turnover development. Despite the cost savings, a lower estimate on turnover leads to an outlook with lower operating result as well.

The new turnover and operating result outlook for 2013

The demand for Tulikivi products is dependent on consumer confidence. New products will allow us to increase our market share; however, the turnover is expected to be lower than in 2012. The company estimates that the operating result will be in the same level as in 2012.

The previous turnover and operating result outlook for 2013

The demand for Tulikivi products is dependent on consumer confidence. New products will allow us to increase our market share; however, no significant growth is anticipated for turnover in 2013. Operating profit is expected to improve with improved operating efficiency.
