Nurminen Logistics provides earnings guidance for 2014. The company expects that both its operating result and earnings per share will improve compared to 2013, but that its net sales will fall short of the level of 2013 due to the decline in volumes in rail transport between Finland and Russia resulting from the crisis in Ukraine and the sanctions imposed on Russia. In its previous estimate, the company expected its net sales, operating result and earnings per share to improve compared to 2013.

The company continues to improve the efficiency of its operations due to the changing market situation. The company's long-term goal is to grow at a faster rate than the market, on average by over 15% per year. Going forward, over 50% of net sales will come from the growth markets of Russia and its neigh bouring countries.

The company's further long-term goals are to improve profitability, achieve an operating profit level of 10% and return on equity of 20%.
