CONCLUSION

H2 2020: MAIN RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

  • Lower consumer spending and in-store traffic affecting our three categories.
  • Timing, roll-out, and conditions of the re-opening of schools and universities in the Northern hemisphere remain uncertain and could jeopardize the success of the Back- to-School season. Pre-BTS plans for the Southern Hemisphere may model those of the North and affect retailer plans.
  • Slow rebound in business activity within Office Superstore and Office Supplier channels.
  • The lack of improvement of Indian and Latin American economies will continue to impact our performance in these regions.

16

CONCLUSION

OUR PRIORITIES FOR 2020

For the balance of the year, we will continue to focus on protecting Operating Cash Flow generation, and we are on track to achieving the actions announced in May to mitigate the impact of the crisis:

  • Managing OPEX, the negative impact of Net Sales decrease on Normalized Income From Operations margin will be partially offset by 15 to 20 million euros OPEX reduction,
  • Decreasing inventory levels by approximately 15 to 30 million euros vs. the end of 2019. The coming Back-to-School season will be determinant in achieving this goal,
  • Reducing 2020 CAPEX to around 80 million euros
