Aggreko Plc provides earnings guidance for the year 2020. The company expects the various markets in which it operate around the world to recover fully from the crisis, but there remains a high degree of uncertainty as to the time it will take. While the company have seen a gradual improvement in demand in some sectors since May, given that the first few months of the year were largely unimpacted by the pandemic, and that the events and petrochemical and refining sectors are typically busier in the second half of the year, it does not expect to see usual second half seasonality. As a consequence, it currently expect to deliver a pre-exceptional profit before tax for the year in the range £80-100 million. Looking further ahead, despite expectations of a slower economic recovery, it continues to expect the Group to deliver improved margins and achieve its mid-teens ROCE target.
