Market outlook and Financial guidance

The most important factor affecting Etteplan’s business is the global development of the machinery and metal industry. The uncertainty caused by geopolitical tensions, interest rates decreasing slower than expected and our customers' generally declining order backlogs are affecting our customers' willingness to invest and keeping the demand situation at a low level in certain customer industries. Investments related to the defense industry, energy efficiency and accelerating the green transition are still at a good level. Decreasing interest rates have not yet had an impact on demand, but we expect that the decrease in interest rates will accelerate investments towards the end of the year. We also expect the demand situation to improve to a good level during the latter part of the year.
