The current level most likely meant roughly those July levels, i.e., around 2.1 euros/liter. Relative to that, there has therefore been the “significant rise” for which the company left a reservation, and thus regarding the earnings outlook, it is negative. If current prices were to continue until the end of the year, the additional rise in costs compared to the July level would be about 2 MEUR. Of this, part should certainly already be transferable to prices in Q4, so the earnings impact could be 1–1.5 MEUR.
However, the guidance range is 33–38 MEUR, so the rise in diesel seen now should not by itself drive the result below the guidance, but certainly towards the lower end. The company also stated that it expects H2 adj. EBITA to be at last year’s level, and we might fall slightly short of this as well unless the negative impact of diesel is compensated for in one way or another.
