Earnings Forecast
11.03.2020
Bregenz - The management board of Wolford AG has analyzed the effects of the
increasing spread of the corona virus and expects this global epidemic to have a
significant negative impact on the development of sales and earnings of the
Wolford Group. In Italy, where the virus has hit particularly hard, Wolford's
sales have fallen by about 50% in the last two weeks. Sales in the DACH region
have fallen by around 30% in the last two weeks. These negative effects are
expected to have impact on the new fiscal year 2020/21 (May 1, 2020 - April 30,
2021). Against this backdrop, the management board has corrected its outlook and
no longer expects a positive operating result (EBIT) for the 2020/21 financial
year.
In view of the current uncertainties, the Management Board will await the
further course of the epidemic and its economic consequences before presenting a
new medium-term outlook.
