Analyst coverage & Estimates

Boskalis collects earnings estimates prior to the publication of the (semi-)annual figures and planned trading updates from those sell-side analysts that follow the company. The company compiled consensus is calculated as a simple arithmetic average of forecast estimates made by these analysts.

The below estimates were collected between 24 April and 4 May 2020 and published on 4 May:

When submitting their estimates, analysts were requested to incorporate the following:

• Specific recent events: Horizon – acquisition remaining 37.5% shares early 2020 and fully consolidated as per then; COVID-19 impact and announced measures (2020 CAPEX guidance: EUR 200 mln; Suspension of share buy back program as per 6 April; No dividend over 2019)
• General: estimates are based on IFRS 16; net debt position excludes IFRS 16 lease liabilities

The collection and circulation of the consensus by Boskalis is not mandatory and Boskalis may amend its practice on this at any time.
