13 Interim Report 1-9/2020
Caverion plans operative improvements including restructuring
- Due to the current downturn and its impacts on its revenue, Caverion plans to proactively further streamline and adjust its operations.
- Caverion estimates that the company's headcount would reduce by approximately 500 by the end of H1/2021, with a large part of the reductions planned to be carried out by the end of 2020. Headcount reductions are very unfortunate but still necessary to secure Caverion's competitiveness in the future.
-
The planned actions include personnel reductions, reorganisation and operating model development.
The actions would impact all Caverion countries with a minor impact on the best-performing countries Finland and Austria. - The resulting savings including some other cost-cutting measures are estimated to be at least EUR 25 million for 2021. The initially estimated restructuring costs amount to approximately EUR 10 million in Q4/2020.
- A part of the savings will be invested in growing particularly the digital and smart technology businesses across divisions. At the same time, Caverion increases its customer-centricity and strengthens its foundation for profitable growth.
