Pihlajalinna’s outlook
Pihlajalinna's outlook for 2025, Updated 30 May 2025
In 2025, Pihlajalinna will focus on organic growth especially in Private Healthcare Services, and continued improvement in profitability.
- The Group estimates the revenue to fall slightly below the previous year’s level (EUR 704.4 million in 2024), mainly due to the earlier transfer of Kuusiolinna Terveys services to the South Ostrobothnia wellbeing services county and the divestment of special housing services.
- The Group estimates the adjusted operating profit before the amortisation and impairment of intangible assets (EBITA) increase to at least EUR 65 million (EUR 55.2 million in 2024).
The Group estimates demand to remain stable. Slow economic growth may affect Pihlajalinna’s service demand and financial result more than expected.
