WOOD Flash – Fourlis: FY20 performance witnessing the effects of COVID-19

Fourlis reported its FY20 results on 23 March, after the close. The revenues for the year came in at EUR 370m (vs. our forecast of EUR 383m), down 20% yoy on the COVID-19 restrictions. The non-IFRS 16 adjusted EBITDA stood at EUR 22m, while the company reported a net loss of EUR 8.7m on the bottom line, vs. the FY19 profit of EUR 5.9m, with the performance affected by EUR 6.6m of non-cash impairments related to the revaluation of two assets and the rationalisation of the Turkish Intersport business. During the conference call, management appeared confident about the 1Q21E performance, while the company plans to proceed with EUR 21m of investments related to network rollout, and the upgrading of the Intersport logistics and the group’s CRM system. Following the company’s conference call, we are cautiously optimistic going forward, on the strong run rates in e-commerce, the REIC listing and the new brand addition to the portfolio.
