隨著新冠肺炎在全球范圍內蔓延,迅達電梯認為此前宣布的2020年全年0%至5%的收入增長指導(以當地貨幣計算)不符合當前實際情況。根據全球各政府為控制COVID-19疫情采取的措施的嚴重程度和持續時間,迅達電梯計劃把今年的年度增長預期調整為-10%至0%(以當地貨幣計算)。
隨著外幣對瑞士法郎不斷貶值,導致貨幣轉換時的負面影響比之前預期的更大。
另外,受到部分國家提高性能項目的加速啟動和西班牙工廠關閉的影響,本年度的企業內部重組成本預計會達到1億瑞士法郎。其中約有一半的重組成本將在今年第一季度進行確認。
迅達電梯在2020年的凈利潤指導將在半年報中發布。考慮到COVID-19的影響,外匯逆風和高昂的重組成本,今年的凈利潤預計將低于2019年,估計會在20%的幅度內震蕩。迅達電梯堅持以客戶為中心,采取有效的經營措施,落實戰略行動,希望可以跑贏市場。
Schindler Results Adversely Impacted by COVID-19
With COVID-19 becoming a global pandemic, Schindler sees its previously announced revenue growth guidance for the full year 2020 of between 0% and 5% in local currencies at risk. Depending on the severity and duration of government measures worldwide in order to contain the COVID-19 spread, revenue growth is now expected to be contained between 0% and –10% in local currencies.
Furthermore, major foreign currencies have been further depreciating against the Swiss franc resulting in negative currency translation effects now estimated to be higher than earlier anticipated.
In addition, restructuring costs for the year are now expected to reach up to CHF 100 million, driven by the acceleration of efficiency programs in selected countries and by the factory closure in Spain. Approximately half of this restructuring cost amount will have to be recognized in the first quarter results of 2020.
The guidance for the 2020 net profit will be provided with the publication of half-year results. Considering COVID-19 impacts, foreign currency headwinds and higher restructuring costs, net profit for the year should be expected to come in below 2019, in the order of magnitude of 20%. On the basis of customer focus, operational measures and strategic initiatives, Schindler expects to continue growing faster than the market.
