Negative profit warning: Dovre Group Plc lowers its guidance for 2024

On February 3, 2025, Dovre Group updated its guidance for 2024 as: Dovre Group’s revenue is expected to be approximately 99 MEUR and the operating profit (EBIT) is expected to be approximately -12 MEUR.

New guidance for 2024: Dovre Group’s revenue is expected to be approximately 99 MEUR and the operating profit (EBIT) is expected to be approximately -22 MEUR.

The lowered guidance is due to two wind farm projects started by Suvic in Sweden during 2024 that have overrun their cost budgets considerably. Based on the information reported by Suvic’s management, the estimated total losses of the two projects upon completion are EUR 8,7 million and EUR 10 million. The losses are fully booked in the reporting period 2024, while the works continue into the spring of 2025. The additional loss accumulation was mostly related to the time and cost overrun of ground construction, snow removal and de-icing work.

As a result of the extensive losses, Dovre will execute a focused re-auditing of the two projects.

Dovre Group Plc holds 51% of the shares in Suvic.
