HIGHLIGHTS FINANCIAL REVIEW BUSINESS REVIEW COVID - 19

SUMMARY & OUTLOOK

Fernando Basabe Chief Executive Officer

Summary of Q1 2020

  • Good start to the year with every division growing well until mid March when COVID-19 materially impacted Applus
  • Sudden drop in revenue mainly in Spain with little time to adjust cost base meant high drop through to profit
  • Ended the quarter with a healthy balance sheet and sufficient liquidity to last a prolonged period of disruption

Outlook

  • Outlook for the year provided on 25 February was withdrawn on 19 March
  • Outlook for Q2 is for a revenue decrease of circa 35% with a small Adjusted Operating loss. H2 should improve materially, driven by the Automotive division recovery
  • New guidance for the year will be provided when there is reasonable visibility
