Outlook

Q&A

3

75% of the business is now back to virtually normal levels of activity

Material activity improvement in Q3 with organic growth down -10.6%(-26.7% in Q2)

2020 should demonstrate Elis' high resilience throughout the crisis

c. 75% of our total business now back to almost normal state of activity:

  • Healthcare revenue up c. +3% in Q3
  • Industry revenue down c. -2% in Q3
  • Trade & Services revenue down c. -2% in Q3

Hospitality (c. 25% of total 2019 revenue) organic revenue down c. -40% in Q3 with domestic tourism partially offsetting the very limited international tourism during summer

Regional performance reflects the share of Hospitality in the mix

Churn rate improvement across the board and several contract wins for hygiene products and

4 workwear

We now expect 2020 EBITDA margin and 2020 free cash-flow to be slightly better than in 2019 on the back of:

Production capacity adjustment implemented in a very timely manner to cope with the decrease in client activity

Structural cost saving plans launched across the Group

Review of the 2020 industrial capex plan, with the cancellation of all projects to increase capacity

Strong focus on cash collection
