- ➢ Further significant deceleration of business activity in April, reflecting the almost complete shutdown of the various distribution channels in which the Group sells its products. Online business the exception, together with the significant improvement of sales trends in China;
- ➢ Very gradual and patchy re-start of sector activities between May and June driving Safilo's expectation for a more significant net sales decline and negative operating results in Q2;
- ➢ Outlook for the full year 2020 still impossible to provide given the still high level of uncertainty surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic and the future recovery of economies worldwide.
