曼尼通集团（Manitou Group）报告称其2020年的收入下降了24％，但到去年年底时订单量已达到创纪录水平。
这家法国公司在整个2020年的收入为15.85亿欧元，低于2019年的20.94亿欧元，该公司表示这略高于预期。第四季度下降幅度较小，下降了13％，为4.32亿欧元。
相比之下，其第四季度订单额为7.27亿欧元，高于2019年同期的4.83亿欧元，代表了季度订单记录。全年订单总额为9.18亿欧元，而2019年底为5.95亿欧元。
关于第四季度，曼尼通集团总裁兼首席执行官米歇尔·丹尼斯（Michel Denis）说：“所有地区和市场都是动态的，包括欧洲和北美的租赁公司。因此，我们在年底的订单量也仅次于历年最高水平。”
曼尼通集团的搬运设备和高空作业平台设备（MHA）的季度销售额为2.75亿欧元，比2019年同期下降18％，在过去12个月中下降30％。
小型设备产品部（CEP）第四季度销售额为7,900万欧元，较2019年第四季度下降2％，在过去12个月中下降20％。曼尼通表示，北美地区的销售受到影响较大，美国韦科（Waco）工厂的关闭是一个重要因素。
服务部门的收入为7,900万欧元，与2019年第四季度相比下降2％，在过去12个月中下降3％。
丹尼斯补充说，尽管疫情和经济的不确定性可能影响到2021年的业务，但他对2021年感到乐观，“鉴于这种更为有利的环境和这些外部压力，我们预计2021年的销量将比上一年增长超过10％。”

Manitou revenue drops, orders rise
By Euan Youdale
Manitou Group has reported a 24% drop in revenue for 2020 but says orders were at record levels by the end of the year.
The France-based company’s revenue was €1,585 million for the whole of 2020, down from €2,094 million in 2019, which it said was slightly above expectations. The fourth quarter saw a smaller decrease, by 13% to €432m.In contrast, its fourth quarter order intake was €727 million, up from €483 million in the same period of 2019, and represented a quarterly order record. For the whole of the year orders stood at €918 million, compared to €595 million at the end of 2019.
Concerning the fourth quarter, Michel Denis, Manitou Group’s president and chief executive officer, said, “All geographies and markets were dynamic, including European and North American rental companies. We thus ended the year with the second highest level of order book we have ever experienced before. This increase in our backlog reinforces the group’s commercial positioning. It leads us to accelerate our production rates on all sites.” He added that focus across the group has also been on its New Horizons 2025 roadmap and re-structuring plan.
The group’s Material Handling & Access Division (MHA) generated quarterly sales of €275 million, down 18% on the same period in 2019, and down 30% over the 12 months.
The Compact Equipment Products Division (CEP) achieved fourth quarter sales of €79 million, down 2% compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, and down 20% over 12 months. Manitou said sales had been particularly affected in North America, with the announcement of the closure of its Waco site being a significant factor in the year.
With revenues of €79 million, the Services & Solutions Division (S&S) recorded a 2% decrease in activity, compared to the fourth quarter in 2019 and a 3% decrease over 12 months.
Denis added that while the health crisis and economic uncertainties could impact business in 2021, he was optimistic for the year ahead. “Given this much more favourable context and these exogenous pressures, we anticipate sales growth for 2021 of more than 10% over the previous year.”
