RTX is upgrading and narrowing financial outlook for 2018/19

As RTX has had strong revenue growth in Q3 (which ended 30 June 2019), and as the order intake and forecast for Q4 up until now is also solid, RTX adjusts its financial expectations for the 2018/19 financial year.

RTX will, as previously communicated, release its interim Q3 2018/19 report on 27 August 2019, however, we can report the following preliminary numbers for Q3 2018/19 and the first nine months (9M) of 2018/19:

  • Expected revenue level: Q3 2018/19: DKK 148 million; 9M 2018/19: DKK 403 million
  • Expected EBITDA level: Q3 2018/19: DKK 29 million; 9M 2018/19: DKK 63 million
  • Expected EBIT level: Q3 2018/19: DKK 26 million; 9M 2018/19: DKK 53 million

Both business units, Business Communications and Design Services, have seen significant revenue growth in Q3 and both have solid order intake for Q4. The growth and order intake in Business Communications are partly the result of the new major framework agreements announced during 2017/18. In Design Services, the growth and order intake are especially within product sales in line with the strategy to grow recurring revenue in the business unit.

Based on the growth and order intake, the expected revenue in 2018/19 is adjusted from previously DKK 520-550 million to DKK 550-565 million, expected EBITDA is adjusted from previously DKK 85-100 million to DKK 90-100 million and expected EBIT is adjusted from previously DKK 65-80 million to DKK 77-87 million.
