“Slightly” was generally interpreted as an improvement range of about 0-10%, so perhaps that improvement without the word “slightly” then means that the company’s expectation is rather at the 10% level or above. That is completely in line with forecasts. But I suppose, in principle, the guidance could still result in a smaller improvement, as the company’s use of the word “slightly” has not been systematic in any way. It will need to be clarified with the company during the year if necessary.
