STRATEGY AND MARKET DYNAMICS
We see a strong outsourced FM market in the future despite Covid-19

Covid-19 is expected to generate some headwinds

However, there are also structural tailwinds and opportunities arising
- Reduction in covered square-meters over time due to a structural increase in work-from-home - estimated reduction of 10-15% over the next three years
-
Some customer segments hit structurally will take longer time to recover (e.g. aviation)
-
Increased importance of the workplace as a vehicle to enhance corporate culture, employee collaboration and innovation
- Increased corporate cost reduction focus drives outsourcing opportunities
- Increased need of deep-cleaning and services to manage Covid-19
- The global pandemic has made the value proposition from the self-delivered and integrated offering even more apparent
- Work-from-home services are a part of our future value proposition
STRATEGY AND MARKET DYNAMICS
Attractive Key Account market, with significant room to grow
USD 400bn global Key Account market

Estimated approx. 40% of the USD 1 trillion market

STRATEGY AND MARKET DYNAMICS
Bringing our value proposition to life through Key Account stories
Context

Case study 1 Pharmaceutical customer
- FM services were managed by several players and partly done inhouse prior to ISS winning the contract in 2017.
- ISS contract covered integrated facility services in 39 countries across 69 sites. Later additional sites were added.
- Key reasons for winning were our self delivery capabilities, one-stop-shop solution and organisational ability to deliver predictable outcomes across a global portfolio.
Key drivers of success

Financial impact


Case study 2 Industry and Manufacturing customer
- Contract won from a regional competitor in 2016. Key reason for winning was our ability to offer integrated facility services on a global scale.
- In 2018, an additional country (Germany) was added to the contract. Further growth driven by extra project work (especially within technical services) and gaining more sites across several countries.
Financial impact

PEDPLE MAKE PLACES

Managing through unprecedented turbulent times in 2020
Customer type organic growth (Jan-Sep 2020)

- Our strategic focus on Key Account customers (66% of YTD revenue) has increased the quality of our revenue base, as evidenced by overall more resilient organic growth

Service line growth
- While food services (15% of revenue in 2019) have been severely impacted by Covid-19 as it is significantly volume driven...
- ... most other services have remained resilient and are expected to be faster to ramp up as sites fully reopen and end-user utilisation increases

Projects & above-base organic growth
- Contrary to any other historical economic downturn, projects and above base work have not declined – but rather increased
- While this part of the business has also been significantly impacted by lock-downs, it has been more than outweighed by the demand for deep-cleaning and disinfection

While food services have been severely impacted by Covid-19 as it is significantly volume driven...
...most other services have remained resilient and are expected to ramp up faster as sites fully reopen and end-user utilisation increases
Our working assumption with regards to recovery of the 10-13% of revenue lost in 2020 as a result of Covid-19:
- 1/3 will not be recovered within the foreseeable future (mainly within food services)
-
2/3 to be fully recovered within a few years
-
Adjustment of fixed cost structure...
...to right-size the business to a lower level of activity in the short term -
Adjustment of variable costs...
...to reflect the lower level of activity...
... and to help offset the impact from salary compensation schemes coming to an end -
Closing down of selective business units...
...which are structurally unprofitable post Covid-19 (around 1% of Group revenue)
Estimated 2020 restructuring cost

Estimated annual net¹ operating profit impact to build over 2020-2022
