海維展覽集團最新財報顯示,受新冠疫情影響,在截止日期為9月30日的2020年財年,公司營收為1.05億英鎊(2019年為2.20億英鎊),同比下降52%。因公司收到展會取消保險賠償金,全年損失降到1800萬英鎊。
目前,,隨著多場展會被迫取消,海維展覽的業務前景并不明朗。公司首席執行官Mark Shashoua表示,“在2021財年,我們的業務將主要專注于‘復蘇策略,目前中國、俄羅斯、烏克蘭和土耳其市場的展會已能夠正常舉辦,但是這些展會的規模將比往年縮減,而且主要以本地企業為主。同時,我們預計在西方的展覽會需要下半年才能舉辦。”
Hyve revenue cut in half
Hyve Group has reported £105.1m revenue (2019: £220.7m), down 52% after significant disruption to the groups event programme following the COVID-19 outbreak for the fiscal year to September 30, 2020. The headline loss before tax amounts to £18.7m (2019: profit of £50.4m) after the receipt of £22.0m of insurance proceeds in respect of cancelled events.
Mark Shashoua, CEO of Hyve Group plc, commented: "We entered 2020 in a very strong position, with a clear strategy following three years of transformative investment and having completed the acquisition of two market-leading e-commerce events in the US, Shoptalk and Groceryshop. As a result, our shows in Q1 continued to deliver strong results. Since COVID-19 struck in March, we have taken every measure within our control to protect our employees, customers and futureproof the business as markets reopen."
