The Group now expects the free cash flow before acquisitions and divestments to be in the range of DKK 1.2-1.4 billion being revised from in the range of DKK 950-1,200 million.

Although the transaction is dilutive to earnings the divestment is not expected to impact on the Group´s 2026 guidance ranges for the reported net sales growth at constant currencies, the EBIT margin before special items as well as the adjusted earnings per share, which are maintained.
