COVID-19 impact on Grupo ACS

  • » The current situation caused by the global COVID outbreak has affected ACS' activities and operations.
  • » Most activities have shown resilience with low impacts from COVID-19

TWO major impacts:

  • » Dropdown due to confinement and mobility restriction measures applied.
  • » Drastic average daily traffic falls since the second half of March
  • » Significant reduction in contribution to the Group's Net Profit (- € 40 mn)
  • » As restrictions are lifted, gradual recovery of traffic is expected.

  • » Significantly reduction in cleaning activities and maintenance of social infrastructures that have been close down (schools, leisure, non-essential facilities and air transport)
  • » Meanwhile, cleaning services of critical infrastructure have been reinforced (hospitals and public facilities)
