HELSINKI — Incap is estimating that its revenue, operating profit and adjusted operating profit for 2022 will be significantly higher than in 2021.

The estimates are given provided that unexpected events impacting Incap’s business environment do not occur, for example, in the availability of components.

Previously, Incap estimated that its revenue, operating profit (EBIT) and adjusted operating profit (EBIT) for 2022 would be clearly higher than in 2021.
