On February 27, 2020, when Bureau Veritas announced its results for 2019 and at a time when the impact of the virus was limited to its operations in Asia, the Group estimated the impact on revenue to be in the range of €60 to €100 million.In light of the progression of the epidemic, which was classed as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, the impact that was at first primarily concentrated in China (17% of Group revenue, 16,461 employees as of December 31, 2019) is now spreading to other geographical regions.Given the uncertainty surrounding the health situation, it is impossible to quantify the impact of this crisis on the Group’s 2020 results. Further updates will be provided as and when possible.The Covid-19 outbreak has no impact on the Group’s accounting and financial position as of December 31, 2019 as presented in the 2019 Universal Registration Document.The Group is carefully monitoring the situation and has taken the appropriate actions to protect the health of its people and, where possible, of its customers, suppliers and subcontractors.
