Wolford: Austrian skinware producer Wolford announced, that it is currently in the final phase of negotiations with the Blum Group on the sale and rental of the company's property in Bregenz, Wolfordstraße 1 and 2. The purchase price offered amounts to approximately Euro 72 mn. Wolford plans to rent the operational property from the buyer on a long-term basis, as the headquarters and production facilities are to remain at the location. The exclusive negotiations were preceded by a bidding process with several prospective buyers which took several months. Upon implementation of the transaction, Wolford AG expects to be able to repay all credit lines of its Austrian banking partners and also to have sufficient financial resources to properly position the company for the future.
Wolford: weekly performance: 12.50%

Andritz: International technology Group Andritz has received an order from Mayr-Melnhof Karton to supply a Vertical Screw Thickener (VST) dewatering system for the RMP (Refiner Mechanical Pulp) process at the mill in Frohnleiten, Austria. Start-up is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2020.

Rosenbauer: In the past 2019 financial year, the Rosenbauer Group has grown as planned and increased its revenues by 7.6% to Euro 978.1 mn. Earnings before taxes (EBT) amounted to Euro 45.5 mn (2018: Euro 43.8 mn). At Euro 1,073.0 mn, incoming orders again reached the previous year's record level in 2019 (2018: Euro 1,107.7 mn). Orders increased in the NISA area (Northern Europe, Iberia, South America, Africa) and the APAC area (Asia, Pacific, Australia, China). For instance, a total of 14 aerial devices were sold to Australia, namely the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services, the Tasmania Fire Service and the Australian Capital Territory. As of December 31, 2019, the order backlog amounted to Euro 1,149.5 mn, up 9% on the previous year's figure (2018: Euro 1,052.3 mn). The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board will propose a dividend of Euro 0.80 (2018: Euro 1.25) per share at the Annual General Meeting but reserve the right to reevaluate the appropriation of profits and dividend distribution. The stronger, more global spread of the respiratory disease COVID-19 has considerably increased the risks to industry demand, supply chains and production capacity. A serious estimate of the extent of these uncertainties is not yet possible. Accordingly, it is too early for a revenues and earnings forecast for the Rosenbauer Group in the 2020 financial year.
Rosenbauer: weekly performance: 7.28%

Do&Co: The catering company Do&Do announced, that due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and the restrictions and bans,the revenue and result expectations of the analysts for the 2020/2021 business year, starting with 1 April, cannot be achieved. To maintain operations, the Management Board has decided on a comprehensive package of measures to cut labour costs and costs of material, which is already being implemented. Furthermore, it has to be assumed that the positive operating result for the 2019/20 business year will be adversely affected by exceptional charges resulting from the crisis and its impact on business operations.From today's perspective, the company has secured sufficient liquidity in recent weeks to ensure its going concern. Due to the ongoing and strong dynamics of the development caused by the pandemic, it is also not yet possible to estimate when an outlook for the business year 2020/2021 can be given. Due to the ban on meetings, the General Meeting will not take place in Vienna on 15 July 2020 as planned. Anew date will be announced in good time. The Management Board has decided to propose to the General Meeting not to pay a dividend for the business year 2019/20.
DO&CO: weekly performance: -1.41%
