The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The downward revision to the full-year revenue forecast reflects the decision to withdraw from the Jooto business, as well as revenue from other services and consolidated subsidiary NAVICUS falling below the initial plan. The reasons given for leaving EBITDA and operating profit unchanged are lower costs associated with the withdrawal from the Jooto business and a review of expenses across the group.
