Haldex AB (publ) provided earnings guidance for the first quarter of 2020. For the first quarter of 2020, Haldex expects sales and operating margins to be significantly lower than was expected in the previously communicated full-year forecast. Given the circumstances, Haldex has withdrawn the full year forecast and at this stage no updated forecast can be submitted. The COVID-19 outbreak has led to lower demand and major disruptions for parts of the business. For the first quarter, Haldex expects sales to fall by 15%-20% compared with the corresponding period last year. The operating margin is also expected to decrease significantly compared with the previous year. Uncertainty is still high regarding the outbreak's development, government actions and its effect on the demand for Haldex products. Given these circumstances, the previously announced full year forecast no longer applies, and no updated forecast can be provided at this time.
