Raute Corporation provided earnings guidance for the year 2019. The company changed its guidance for 2019 concerning net sales and operating profit, estimating that the company's net sales will decrease and operating profit will weaken in 2019 compared to the record figures of the previous year. The revised guidance was based on scheduling delays concerning a few projects that were in the implementation phase, as well as the related costs, and to the postponement from previous estimates of a few major new orders that are in the negotiation phase.
