Substantial organizational investments are being made to develop the company’s capabilities and capacities. These investments impact the short and medium-term profitability. Hexagon expects a significant but temporary slowdown in the European CNG light-duty market in the first half of 2020 due to the Covid-19 crisis and Volkswagen’s relocation of its CNG car assembly line from Zwichau to Wolfsburg, Germany. In the medium term we expect demand to exceed 2019 levels. The demand for the company’s Mobile Pipeline® products is driven by conversion from petroleum fuels to cleaner CNG and RNG. RNG is recognized as the fastest and most effec- tive solution currently available to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This is an important diversification should the weakening of the U.S. onshore oil & gas activity continue. Hexagon Ragasco volumes remain at a high level, how- ever with an unfavorable product mix. The business will continue to grow its positions in Asia and the Middle East, which is expected to balance a continued relatively weak European demand. The forward-looking statements made above are, by their nature, subject to significant risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circum- stances that are expected to occur in the future. They are therefore not guarantees of future performances. While the statements reflect the current views and expectations of Hexagon based on information currently available to it, they are subject to various assumptions, in addition to risks and uncertainties that may be outside of its control.
