Ponsse Plc's half-year report for January-June 2024 reveals a challenging period. Net sales decreased to EUR 357.7 million from EUR 409.8 million in the same period last year. Operating profit fell sharply to EUR 0.6 million compared to EUR 26.8 million, and the net result was a loss of EUR 11.7 million versus a profit of EUR 21.8 million last year. Earnings per share dropped to EUR -0.42 from EUR 0.78. The order book value also declined to EUR 210.4 million from EUR 294.2 million. Key factors impacting performance included lower forest machine delivery volumes, weak demand for used machines, and significant losses from a Brazilian Full Service contract. Despite these challenges, cash flow from business operations improved to EUR 25.4 million from EUR 0.1 million. Ponsse's equity ratio stood at 52.8%. The company introduced a new operating model in June 2024 aimed at enhancing efficiency and competitiveness. Ponsse also revised its profit guidance, predicting a significantly lower operating profit for 2024 compared to 2023's EUR 47.2 million. The company continues to focus on cost control and improving operational efficiency in response to market uncertainties.

On August 9, 2024, Ponsse Plc issued a profit warning, indicating that its euro-denominated operating profit for 2024 is expected to be significantly lower than the EUR 47.2 million reported in 2023.
