HIGHLIGHTS - COVID-19

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Ramada Group implemented a set of measures for the prevention, control and surveillance, with prevention / contingency plans being developed that cover the entire organization, from the operational areas to the central structures, in all the Group's businesses.

Therefore, Ramada Group maintained its process of monitorization and assessing of the implemented measures, in order to respond to the demands arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. From all the actions implemented within the scope of the monitoring and evaluation of pandemic developments, we highlight the following:

  • Ramada Group, implemented a set of measures for the prevention, control and surveillance of this infection. As a result of the various measures implemented by the Ramada Group, on September 30, 2020, a negative impact on the income statement is estimated in the amount of approximately 130 thousand Euro (including donations, protective equipment, among others).
  • Ramada Group proceeded cautiously with an internal review and evaluation process on the investments it had planned for the 2020 financial year, reassessing the cost-benefit of these portfolio projects, as well as their feasibility, taking into account the current reality. From this review it was decided to reschedule to the second half the productive investments that were planned for the first half of 2020. Ramada Group expects to comply with the investments initially stipulated for 2020 until the end of the fiscal year.
  • With regard to liquidity risk management, the Group maintained a liquidity reserve in the form of credit lines with its relationship banks, in order to ensure the ability to meet its commitments, without having to refinance in unfavorable conditions. As of September 30, 2020, the amount of consolidated loans1 maturing in the next 12 months is approximately 19 million Euro. On the same date, the Group has consolidated credit lines available (namely bank overdrafts, pledged current accounts and not used commercial paper programs) in the amount of approximately 40 million Euro. As a result of the performance of previous years, and the capacity to manage credit and liquidity risk, the Group presents a robust financial position statement, presenting Cash and cash equivalents amounting to 43 million Euro, representing approximately 90% of its current liabilities.
  • Ensuring the permanent well-being of all Employees, their families and community, has always been and will continue to be a priority of the Ramada Group. To deal with the pandemic, Ramada Group put in place a set of additional preventive measures to protect the health and safety of its Employees, based on the recommendations of the Portuguese Health Authority. The human resources department, based on the recommendations of the Portuguese Health Authority, proceeded with the elaboration of the Group's COVID- 19 Contingency Plan. This plan has been continuously adjusted considering the evolution of the pandemic, being essential for the purposes of containing the impacts of the pandemic between our employees and the local community.
