Seeking a new direction with an efficiency program
Sanoma’s normally stable and predictable earnings development has weakened especially as a result of cost inflation and contraction in advertising. With a substantial efficiency improvement program in the Learning business, we expect the segment’s profitability to increase clearly in the coming years, which, together with the gradually recovering Media business result, will boost earnings growth to a good level in the coming years. We believe the expected return consisting of this and the highish dividend yield in the coming years turns the risk/reward ratio attractive.
