Outlook for 2024 and decision to initiate share buyback programme

ISS A/S, a leading workplace experience and facility management company, is today announcing outlook for 2024. The outlook is excluding any effects of hyperinflation (IAS 29).

• Organic growth is expected to be 4 – 6%.
• Operating margin is expected to be above 5%
• The expectation for free cash flow is based on an underlying free cash flow of above DKK 2.4 billion, equalling a cash conversion of above 60%. However, in 2024 free cash flow is expected to be above DKK 1.8 billion (2023: DKK 1.8 billion), adversely impacted by timing effects including certain payments being withheld by Deutsche Telekom.

Additionally, the Board of Directors has decided to initiate a share buyback programme of DKK 1 billion to be executed over a 12-month period.

ISS publishes its Annual Report 2023 and H2 2023 Report on 22 January 2024.

The forward-looking statements on page 117 of Annual Report 2023 also apply to this company announcement.
