D'Ieteren : Upward revision of D’Ieteren’s FY 2019 guidance
October 15, 2019 at 12:02 pm EDT
Share
For FY 2019, D'Ieteren anticipates an adjusted consolidated result before tax, group's share that is about 35% higher (previous guidance: 'at least 25%') compared to last year's result (EUR 220.4 million when restated to reflect the current 54.10% stake in Belron). This revised guidance reflects the continued very strong performance of Belron during Q3 2019.
On a comparable basis (54.10% stake and pre IFRS 16 in 2019 and 2018), Belron's adjusted result before tax, group's share is expected to broadly double this year (previous guidance: 'at least 70% rise') thanks to value growth and tight cost control. Charges related to the long-term management incentive programme (LTI) of Belron are expected to reach EUR 53 million (EUR 34.1 million in FY 2018), reflecting the expected improved performance. This LTI will end its effects in December 2019 and has been replaced by an equity-based reward plan (MRP) in June 2018.
