Vallourec: 2020 Outlook

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

2020 OutlookBoulogne-Billancourt (France), February 20th 2020 – The environment in which Vallourec operates went through significant changes in recent weeks: the coronavirus epidemic (Covid-19) in the countries where the Group is present, combined with the sudden decline in the price of oil, will have an impact on the Group’s activities, especially in North America where unconventional oil and gas operators are announcing drastic reductions in their drilling plans.It is impossible at this stage to quantify the impact of these factors on Vallourec’s 2020 performance and targets. Therefore, Vallourec suspends the guidance previously communicated. Vallourec, whose teams are determined and mobilized, implements decidedly all the necessary mitigation measures and is accelerating the execution of its cost savings program to deal with the situation, which it is facing after having considerably improved its competitiveness in recent years.Vallourec also enjoys a solid liquidity position1 which to date has not been specifically affected by the coronavirus epidemic or by the fall in the price of oil and has evolved in line with the usual seasonality.Vallourec is in close contact with its banks and maintains a constructive dialogue with them in order to launch the Rights Issue of € 800m announced on February 19, 2020 as soon as conditions allow. The principle of the Rights Issue will be submitted to the vote of shareholders at the General Meeting scheduled for April 6, 2020.1 2 220M€ as of December 31st, 2019, reduced in February 2020 by € 194 million due to the partial maturity of two credit lines.
