Duni AB (publ) provided earnings guidance for the second quarter of 2020. For the quarter, the company expected that Although several countries are now announcing gradual easing of the restrictions put in place, company's operational planning is based on the assumption of continuing restrictions and that the hotel and full-service restaurant segments will remain closed for much of the second quarter. Such a situation will cut company's sales in more than half compared to normal level for the quarter and, even counting the cost-cutting program, result in a loss for the quarter for the group.
