Based on the current situation, Dovre’s net sales are expected to be slightly below 2019 and the operating profit is expected to be in line with 2019 excluding non-recurring items and currency effects.Due to the company’s healthy balance sheet and sound business, we still consider Dovre’s long-term growth opportunities and prospects to be good.GROUP’S KEY FIGURESCEO ARVE JENSEN:In H1, Dovre’s net sales increased by 13% from the comparison period, with both segments contributing to this growth. The period was, however, twofold. In the first quarter performance was good and in line with our expectations, but in the second quarter the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic started to show in a slowing business demand. We monitored market developments closely and adjusted our operations accordingly. Thanks to these measures taken our relative profitability continued to improve in H1, and our operating profit doubled from the comparison period to 1.2 million euros. We saw profitable growth in both Project Personnel and Consulting segments. Our operations in Singapore have had a very strong start of the year even with the challenging Corona impacts.The acquisition of Tech4Hire in 2019 and the reorganization of our operations in Norway in January 2020 have proven to be successful. We see clear strengths in our current business model and our plan is to further develop our services during H2 2020. Although the coronavirus pandemic seems to have stabilized in Norway, Finland and some parts of Europe and Asia, the situation is still critical globally, and especially in our market area Americas. In the last period, the oil price has developed positively and in June, the Norwegian Government has implemented tax changes for the oil companies in Norway in order to stimulate new investments. We continue to closely monitor market developments. At the moment it looks that the negative effects of the pandemic will impact our business at least in the latter half of 2020.  This stock exchange release is a summary of Dovre Group Plc’s Half Year Financial Report January 1 – June 30, 2020.
