North Media (One-pager): Guidance narrowed lower despite operational progress

By Philip CoombesEquity Research Analyst

Summary

North Media has narrowed its full-year revenue guidance to DKK 1,270–1,305m and adjusted its EBITDA and EBIT guidance to DKK 105–126m and DKK 50–70m, respectively, due to short-term volume challenges in Last Mile.
Despite subdued operating cash flow from integration costs and lower earnings in SDR, operational improvements and reduced investment needs are expected to enhance the outlook into 2026.
The investment case is supported by efficiency gains in SDR, stable cash flows from FK Distribution and BoligPortal, and a valuation discount compared to peers, with market capitalization close to the value of its cash and securities portfolio.

North Media narrowed its full-year revenue guidance to DKK 1,270–1,305m (from 1,270–1,315m) and narrowed its EBITDA and EBIT guidance to DKK 105–126m (from DKK 105-130m) and DKK 50–70m (from DKK 50-75m), respectively, reflecting short-term volume headwinds in Last Mile but continued operational stability across the group. While operating cash flow remains subdued due to temporary integration costs and lower earnings in SDR during the automation rollout, operational improvements into 2026, alongside lower investment needs, may improve the outlook again.

The investment case remains driven by efficiency gains in SDR, resilient cash flows from FK Distribution and BoligPortal, and a valuation discount relative to peers, with the company’s market capitalization still close to the value of its cash and securities portfolio.
