7月8日，紐倫堡展覽集團(tuán)年度新聞發(fā)布會(huì)在線上舉辦。公司CEO表示，受新冠疫情對(duì)會(huì)展行業(yè)的深刻影響，公司在2020財(cái)年的收入僅為1.1億歐元，相比參考年份2018財(cái)年下降65%。這一數(shù)字基本相當(dāng)于公司在2005財(cái)年的收入水平。疫情使得這個(gè)德國(guó)知名展覽集團(tuán)的收入驟降到15年前。疫情后至今，公司一直也沒有裁員，而是通過降薪（-25%）和降低物料支出（-40%）來避免更大的損失。這其中也包括集團(tuán)旗下場(chǎng)館的修繕。

Sales in Nuremberg at 2005 levels“The COVID year 2020 brought about a fundamental change in the rules of the game for the trade fair industry”， Peter Ottmann， CEO of the Nürnbergmesse Group， explained at the companys hybrid annual press conference on July 8. The “flash freeze” of the business model has made its mark on the balance sheet： The group closed fiscal year 2020 with sales of 110.3 million euros （2019： 285.7 million euros）， which is 65 percent below the reference year 2018. “We last achieved this sales figure in 2005 （96 million euros） and 2004 （108 million euros）”， CEO Roland Fleck reported. The groups losses are -68.6 million euros （group profit in 2018： 28 million euros）. A more severe net loss was avoided by systematic cutbacks on expenses and investments.
