Norwegian Air lowers its 2024 profit forecast to 1.85 billion crowns due to a weaker Norwegian crown, causing a 7% share drop.
HELSINKI (Reuters) -Budget airline Norwegian Air cut its operating profit outlook for 2024 on Monday, citing a negative impact from the weakening of the Norwegian crown currency against the dollar.
The airline now expects its full-year operating profit to be around 1.85 billion Norwegian Crowns ($161.04 million), compared to its previous outlook from October of between 2.1 billion and 2.4 billion.
Shares fell around 7% in early trade on Oslo's stock exchange.
"The deterioration is predominately the result of balance sheet adjustments relating the weakening of the NOK against the USD during the fourth quarter," it said in a statement.
Norwegian Air will publish its full-year earnings on Feb. 13.
