随着新冠肺炎在全球范围内蔓延,迅达电梯认为此前宣布的2020年全年0%至5%的收入增长指导(以当地货币计算)不符合当前实际情况。根据全球各政府为控制COVID-19疫情采取的措施的严重程度和持续时间,迅达电梯计划把今年的年度增长预期调整为-10%至0%(以当地货币计算)。
随着外币对瑞士法郎不断贬值,导致货币转换时的负面影响比之前预期的更大。
另外,受到部分国家提高性能项目的加速启动和西班牙工厂关闭的影响,本年度的企业内部重组成本预计会达到1亿瑞士法郎。其中约有一半的重组成本将在今年第一季度进行确认。
迅达电梯在2020年的净利润指导将在半年报中发布。考虑到COVID-19的影响,外汇逆风和高昂的重组成本,今年的净利润预计将低于2019年,估计会在20%的幅度内震荡。迅达电梯坚持以客户为中心,采取有效的经营措施,落实战略行动,希望可以跑赢市场。
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.
