15 Nov 2023: HKScan is starting Finnish poultry meat exports to China
HKScan is launching Finnish poultry meat exports from Finland to China. Exports are expected to start during the first months of 2024. Today’s export approval for Finnish poultry meat is a new step for the company’s export activities. HKScan currently exports Finnish pork to China.
HKScan Corporation, Stock exchange release, inside information, 29 December 2023, at 2.01 pm
On 29 December 2023, HKScan Corporation announced the signing of an agreement to sell the shares of its Swedish subsidiary HKScan Sweden AB to the Swedish agricultural cooperative Lantmännen ek för.
Following the signing of the agreement, HKScan Corporation updates its financial guidance for 2023.
Updated guidance for 2023
HKScan expects that the Group’s comparable EBIT from continuing operations will grow clearly compared to 2022.
HKScan now estimates the 2023 comparable EBIT for the Group to be EUR 24 - 27 million. The Group's comparable EBIT for 2022 was EUR 9.7 million. The 2023 comparable EBIT for the Group's continuing operations, which following the sale of the Swedish business consist of the Finnish and Danish business, is estimated to be EUR 13 - 16 million. The continuing operations include the Polish bacon production unit, which has earlier been reported as part of the Swedish business unit, but which is not included in the abovementioned sale and will thus in the future be reported as part of the Finnish business unit. The comparable EBIT for 2022 for the Finnish and Danish business units (including the Polish unit) was EUR −2.8 million.
11 Jan 2024: HKScan planning to centralize its poultry meat packaging activities from Eura to Rauma and/or Forssa
HKScan is planning to improve the efficiency of its production operations by centralising the poultry packing activities currently located in the Eura unit to the company's production units in Rauma and/or Forssa. The plan involves reorganising operations, adjusting staffing levels and renewing operating methods. Through the efficiency plan, HKScan aims to achieve annual savings of around EUR 1 million as from the third quarter of 2024.
