Wolford: Leg- and bodywear company Wolford, which is listed on Vienna Stock Exchange, generated revenues of Euro 118.5 mn in 2019/20, registering a fell in revenue of 13.6% compared to the previous year figures of Euro 137.2 mn. The strong lockdown measures and the restrictions imposed on travel due to the global pandemic had a decisive impact on all luxury sales particularly in the months of March and April 2020, when Wolford´s revenue fell by around 60%. The new Management Board, which took up their roles in the fall of 2019, has promptly reacted by implementing a crisis response to include short-time working plans, as well as, since the end of March 2020, the conversion of part of their facilities to accommodate Care Masks' production, to meet the increased worldwide demand, a move that has certainly cushioned fall in other revenues. The socio-economic developments have clearly left their mark on the company's earnings. Operating earnings (EBIT) fell from EUR -9 mn in the previous year to Euro -28.7 mn. The loss after taxes amounted to Eur -27.42 mn (2018/19: EUR -11.10 mn). Wolford plans to return to profitability on an operating level in 2021. "By selling the company´s property in Bregenz, Wolford AG has gained the flexibility needed to shape its own future. This is our opportunity - and we intend to seize it," emphasized the new Management Board.
