79. FUTURE OUTLOOK
79
Estimates of the future outlook for Kesko Group's net sales and operating profit
excluding non-recurring items are given for the 12 months following the reporting
period (7/2015-6/2016) in comparison with the 12 months preceding the
reporting period (7/2014-6/2015).
The general economic situation and the expected trend in consumer demand
vary in Kesko’s different operating countries. In Finland, the trading sector’s
performance is expected to remain weak and the tough competitive situation is
expected to continue. In Sweden, Norway and the Baltic countries, the growth in
demand in the trading sector is expected to continue. In Russia, the economic
situation and consumers’ purchasing power are estimated to remain weak.
Kesko Group's net sales for the next 12 months are expected to be lower than
the level of the preceding 12 months and the operating profit excluding non-
recurring items for the next 12 months is expected to exceed the level of the
preceding 12 months.
