Ramirent's net sales decreased in the second quarter of 2014 due to slower than expected demand in many of its markets. EBITA and earnings per share also weakened compared to the previous year. However, Ramirent completed two acquisitions and one outsourcing deal in the quarter to strengthen its offerings in safety, weather protection and industrial services. Segment reviews showed mixed results across markets, with Finland seeing growth from acquisitions and recovering demand while other countries faced weaker sales due to lower overall demand.
25. The economic growth in 2014 is
expected to be modest and construction
market demand remains mixed in our
core markets.
Ramirent will maintain strict cost
control and, for 2014, capital
expenditure is expected to be around
the same level as in 2013.
The strong financial position will enable
the Group to continue to address
profitable growth opportunities.
Ramirent outlook for
2014 unchanged
