Outlook
Following the positive performance in 2016, the outlook for 2017 is also positive. The market is still
undergoing changes. Accordingly, the activity level for 2017 is still fairly difficult to predict. On the
same route, competition in the industry remains fierce which may put earnings under pressure.

The Expedit Group’s order book at the beginning of 2017 was at satisfactory level, which together with
investments in both market and production in recent years as well as planned investments for 2017 provides the basis for the positive outlook for 2017. A the same time, the changes in the owners of Expedit
offer new potential, including market-related measures, which will contribute to the ongoing positive
development.
Overall, for 2017 the Group is expected to realise a minor revenue increase and report a profit up on
2016.
