Outlook


The visibility into the future is very short and future sales are very difficult to predict. Fiven standard product markets are more impacted by the pandemic than the demand for specialty products. Even though the first quarter results showed a limited impact on Fiven financials, the decrease of order intake and subsequently the order book indicates that the crises will increasingly hit the Fiven group at least for Q2 2020. How profound and how long the situation will prevail, is very uncertain.

Under those uncertain conditions, FIVEN Group has taken all appropriate measures to produce safely and to adapt its production and organization level to the effective level of customers' demand. This includes calibrated cost reduction measures of which adapted decrease in production and administrative workforce.
