The quarterly earnings figures announced today by DOMINION are affected by the exceptional situation arising from the restrictive measures taken in most countries in the world as a consequence of Covid-19, though the negative impact was mitigated by the company's rapid response.
DOMINION has achieved an adjusted turnover of 224.5 million euros, 6% up on the same period last year, representing 4% organic growth in constant currency.
The slight deterioration in EBITDA, EBIT and Net Earnings was limited to 3 million euros compared to the first quarter of 2019, thanks to the rapid steps taken by the company, which has also made its first provisions.
By segments, the impact was primarily on B2C business, due to the forced closure of the physical channel of Phone House stores, though the good news is more than 200,000 energy and telecommunications contracts maintained by the Smart House project. The impact was smaller in the B2B segment, where the Services area was affected by the temporary closure of some industrial plants and the drop in business in network maintenance, while in 360 Projects the impact was very limited and circumscribed to the postponement of some medium-scale projects.
Regarding the outlook for the rest of 2020, the company highlights its good liquidity position (it ended 2019 with 113 million euros net cash), enabling it to cope with this period of reduced activity and seize any opportunities that may arise. Furthermore, it expects to end the year with growth in sales and positive earnings, with 2020 representing no more than a pause in the achievement of its Strategic Plan, which will be put back a year. Its business model based on diversification, decentralisation, digitalisation and financial discipline will be its greatest asset and the best way of overcoming this situation and emerging from it stronger.
