Negative Impact of Covid-19 on Opus

STOCKHOLM, April 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Covid-19 outbreak is affecting Opus operations, and there is a considerable risk of a material impact on the Group's financials. Opus is taking steps to minimize the impact on the Group.

In recent days, a number of government authorities around the world have introduced measures resulting in a material reduction of inspection volumes, including the temporary suspension of vehicle inspection programs. Opus has introduced cost reduction measures to partially mitigate such volume reduction. Overall, management believes there is a considerable risk that this will have a material negative effect on Opus financials, while due to uncertainties not possible to adequately assess.
