SHORT-TERM OUTLOOK AND GUIDANCE
General market outlook for fishing products in North America and Europe is positive and end-consumer demand
for recreational fishing products is currently on a good level in the Group's key markets. In Europe, exit of Shimano
business and termination of certain other Third Party Products businesses decreases net sales and affects
consequently market visibility for 2021 for the region. Net sales for these businesses, which the Group will exit,
were in the range of 30 MEUR in 2020. Additionally, the ongoing negotiations with Shimano to end the joint
ownership of distribution companies in Russia, Kazakhstan, Czech, Belarus, Hungary, Romania and Croatia might
have impacts on the business performance for these countries also in the Group Products segment.
• The Group's supply chain, including own factories and subcontractors, is currently working robustly and fulfilling
customer orders. However, uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic continue to impact and increase risks
for the Group. The pandemic can impact the operating environment of the Group in various ways, including
lockdowns, store closures, social distancing rules and overall change in consumer confidence. In addition, weather
changes may affect the sales of the Group
•
The Group expects 2021 full year comparable operating profit (excluding mark-to-market valuations of operative
currency derivatives and other items affecting comparability) to be in line or above from the previous year
