BoConcept Holding A/S Full year 2012/13 results 26 June 2013, Danske Markets
Agenda Highlights from Q4 and FY 2012/13 Financial development Q4 and FY 2012/13 Strategic initiatives Outlook for FY 2013/14 Forward-looking statement This presentation includes forward-looking statements, including forecasts for revenue, earnings and cash flow. BoConcept Holding stresses that forecasts are subject to considerable uncertainty with respect to the level of activity we will see in the future due to high global macro-economic volatility and subsequently reduced revenue visibility. The revenue generated by the franchise chain and BoConcept will thus be sensitive to fluctuations in macro-economic factors such as GDP growth, number of home sales, consumer confidence, and disposable income trends in the group's markets. Should these variables deteriorate, the franchise chain will have even tougher sales conditions to contend with, and thus management's expectations with respect to future financial trends may not be realised.
