Dassault Aviation: Covid-19 outbreak crisis communication
Covid-19 outbreak crisis communication
Saint-Cloud, April 1, 2020 – The coronavirus Covid-19 outbreak, defined by the WHO as a pandemic on March 12, 2020, has triggered a global health crisis unprecedented in terms of its public health consequences and its induced effects.
In this current environment, it is difficult to predict how this crisis, due to the uncertainties surrounding the epidemic’s scale, geographic scope, duration, social and economic consequences, will impact Dassault Aviation Group 2020 objectives announced on February 27, 2020.
Therefore, Dassault Aviation Group is withdrawing its 2020 guidance.
Besides, today’s meeting of the Board of Director decided to finally hold the General meeting, scheduled on May 12, 2020, closed doors in Saint-Cloud, to cancel the 2019 dividend proposal and thus to allocate the entire net profit to retained earnings.
