Traditionally, Harvia’s sales in the second quarter are lower than in the first quarter. However, demand has fluctuated rapidly and significantly in many of Harvias’s key markets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, Harvia exceptionally shares advance information on the company’s revenue and operating result during the second quarter and first half of 2020.During the second quarter of 2020, Harvia’s revenue and operating result increased significantly compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. The positive development of revenue and profitability was supported by the exceptionally good sales performance in many of Harvia’s key markets.During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a strong increase in different home improvement and repair projects. The management of the company estimates that part of this growth is generated by advance demand and will not affect long-term growth expectations of the sauna and spa market or Harvia’s long-term targets.Despite the positive overall impact, some of Harvia’s key markets are still clearly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
