  • In division Industry, the corona situation postponed several annual shutdowns in Finland until late autumn and 2021.
  • Pricing environment tightened in Services as of the second quarter.

Projects

  • The demand for new construction projects was negatively impacted by the corona pandemic, however less for renovation construction.
  • Pricing environment generally tightened in Projects as of the second quarter.

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.
