Outlook for 2012, published in 1Q12 (3 May 2012)

In 2012, Sanoma expects its net sales to grow slightly, mostly due to the acquired SBS operations in the Netherlands and Belgium. Operating profit margin, excluding non-recurring items, is estimated to be around 10% of net sales. Earnings per share excluding non-recurring items are estimated to grow.

Sanoma’s net sales and result are affected by the underlying environment, particularly by the development of advertising markets in the Group’s countries of operation. The 2012 outlook is based on the assumption that the advertising markets in the Group’s main operating countries will vary from stable to slightly decreasing, as the economic uncertainty continues.
