美卓下调了2013年纸浆、造纸和电力部门(将转让给维美德)的EBITA指导

美卓决定下调2013年纸浆、造纸和电力部门的EBITA指导。此前预计，纸浆、造纸和电力部门的净销售额和扣除非经常性项目的EBITA将大幅低于2012年。其下半年的净销售额和扣除非经常性项目的EBITA预计将与上半年持平。更新后的指引显示，纸浆、造纸和电力部门的非经常性项目前的EBITA预计将显著低于上半年的预定水平，主要原因是与大型纸浆项目交付相关的延迟，以及由此产生的高于预期的成本。该项目是个案，预计不会对纸浆、造纸和电力行业产生更广泛的影响。该公司造纸和电力业务的产能利用率也低于预期。美卓对集团的整体指引保持不变:预计2013年非经常性项目前的净销售额和EBITA将显著低于2012年。纸浆、造纸和电力部门此前的指导方针:与2012年相比，预计非经常性项目前的净销售额和EBITA都将大幅下降。下半年的净销售额和EBITA预计将与上半年持平。纸浆、造纸和电力部门的最新指导:与2012年相比，预计非经常性项目前的净销售额和EBITA都将大幅下降。 Net sales during the second half are expected to be at the level booked during the first half of 2012 (EUR 1,345 million), but EBITA before non-recurring items is expected to be significantly lower than during the first half of 2013 (EUR 55.5 million).
