Based on the stronger-than-expected first quarter and the outlook for the remaining part of the year, Scandinavian Tobacco Group raising the company's full year 2021 guidance, but due to the unusual low transparency for the full year, the company introducing a range in the guidance. The low end of the guidance range assumes that net sales for the group equalizes in the second half of the year with consumer behavior in the U.S. market reversing and the restrictions and border closures in Europe prevailing. Independent of the level of growth in net sales, organic EBITDA growth is expected to be supported by additional synergies from the integration of Agio Cigars of about DKK 100 million, previously, DKK 70 million to DKK 80 million and the full year effect of Fueling the Growth. The headlines are: organic EBITDA growth in the range of 12% to 18%, up from previously more than 7%; Free cash flow before acquisitions in the range of DKK 1 billion to DKK 1.3 billion, up from more than DKK 1 billion previously; and adjusted earnings per share growth of more than 25% versus previously more than 10%.
