FLSmidth & Co. A/S (“FLSmidth”) today announced that all conditions and requirements regarding the previously announced Asset Purchase & Transfer Agreement (“the Agreement”) between FLSmidth and KOCH Solutions have been met (ref. Company Announcement no. 12-2023).
The Agreement involves a mix of intellectual property, order backlog, employees and facilities that are part of FLSmidth’s Non-Core Activities segment.

Consequently, FLSmidth expects to incur total losses for the Non-Core Activities segment of around DKK 1.0 billion over the exit period (previously around DKK 1.2 billion). Further, it is expected that the Non-Core Activities segment will be exited around end of 2024 (previously towards end of 2025).
