DFDS Outlook 2016

The full-year outlook for 2016 is raised following Q1 earnings above expectations and continued positive market trends on most routes in the network.

The Group’s revenue is still expected to increase by around 6%, excluding revenue from bunker surcharges.

The Group’s EBITDA before special items is now expected to increase to a range of DKK 2,300-2,500m compared to a range of DKK 2,100-2,300m previously (2015: DKK 2,041m).
