Forward guidance
Hyster-Yale expects operating profit and net income in 2020 to increase significantly over 2019, with continued investments in strategic programs and their implementation.
Tailwinds
- Hyster-Yale Group's operating profit is expected to improve significantly in 2020 over 2019.
- Bolzoni’s operating profit is expected to increase in 2020, primarily as a result of the absence of $2.5 million of restructuring charges for its Americas operations
- Nuvera’s results are expected to improve in 2020 over 2019, with shipments expected to ramp up throughout the second half of 2020.
- Consolidated component volume sourced globally from reliable partners is expected to reduce costs and improve quality as these new products are brought to market over the next few years.
- For the 2020 full year, consolidated cash flow before financing activities is expected to increase significantly over 2019.
Headwinds
- The Company is currently forecasting strong but lower forklift market levels in all geographic segments.
- The effects of the Coronavirus epidemic continue to evolve daily, and there is much uncertainty with regard to the ramifications of this situation.
- The startup of production at the Company's Chinese facilities has been delayed, but is expected to ramp up over the next few weeks.
- This timing is contingent on the appropriate utilities, transportation and other support services being in place, as well as the availability of components from suppliers.
- The impact and the spread of the virus, which is not predictable at this time, may affect the Company's operations in other areas of the world, including Italy.
