Abrief update on the effectsof Covid-19 on AQ Group

AQ Group has an international presence and a broad customer base in many different industries. In recent weeks, the situation has changed rapidly and on a daily basis. Much of our focus has been on reducing the risk of virus spread, trying to understand what is happening and taking the right actions to continue deliveries to our customers. This is a description of what the situation looks like today.

OfAQ Group's 42 manufacturing units, 5 are currently closed according to government decisions in Canada, USA, India and Italy. In addition, we have 9 units in Sweden, Estonia, Lithuania and Poland that are affected by the fact that some of our customers have decided to close their operations. These 9 units are still open but to a lesser extent. We are implementing short-time work allowance, reducing our costs and working with customers, inventories and production planning to minimize the impact on our cash flow.

We have 28 units without major disturbances in Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Serbia, China, Brazil and Mexico. Here we work intensively to ensure that our employees can work as risk-free as possible while doing everything we can to deliver to our customers. We have some problems with transports and material supply that we have been able to handle so far. We are also supporting the units in the group that are still under high utilization. It is gratifying that our units in China are back in full production after being closed for a few weeks in February.

At present, it is not possible to predict the impact onAQ Group as a whole. This is because the situation is rapidly changing day by day and the great uncertainty surrounding possible government decisions in different countries. It is also difficult to assess how long the current situation will last or whether more customers will have to close their production.
