法蘭克福展覽年度公司最新財報顯示,公司在2020年一共在全球舉辦153場展覽會(約為上一年的三分之一),總銷售額達到2.5億歐元。公司在2019年曾創(chuàng)下7.38億歐元的史上最高紀錄。
公司總裁馬賦康表示,由于往年的財務積累,公司得以融獲額外資本,保證了現(xiàn)金流。同時,公司還制定了可以有效應對危機的過渡時期策略。公司也已經(jīng)與職工代表簽署了盡量不裁員合約,并采納了政府的短期工作計劃。根據(jù)目前的業(yè)務態(tài)勢,公司至少要到2024年才能恢復到疫情之前的業(yè)績。
Surprise for Messe Frankfurt
A broad global presence and digital expertise benefited Messe Frankfurt in fiscal year 2020: The company was able to hold 153 events worldwide (around a third) and generated group sales of around 250 million euros, after its all-time sales record of 738 million euros in fiscal year 2019. However, the company continues to run a loss into three-digit millions.
Thanks to its financial strength in recent years, the company has been able to secure additional funds on the capital markets, thus allowing it to safeguard liquidity, explained president and chief executive officer Wolfgang Marzin.
The company had a medium-term bridging strategy that could be adapted to each individual situation, he continued. The trade fair company is keen to avoid redundancies. A new works agreement has been, relatively discreetly, signed with the employee representatives, based on a socially responsible reduction of personnel costs with a view to safeguarding jobs: Employees are foregoing variable remuneration components until 2022, no vacancies will be advertised externally. In addition, the short-time working scheme made available by the government will be taken up.
