國浩(00053.HK)附屬Rank集團英國賭場業務7,000名員工強制休假
國浩集團(00053.HK)公布,在倫敦交易所上市的附屬Rank集團昨日發布有關2019冠狀病毒病影響的更新,疫情為Rank集團帶來前所未見的重大影響,儘管Rank對未來進展能見度有限,且復甦步伐不明朗,惟Rank現仍就賭場業務重開時的經營困境作好準備。雖然Rank賭場業務面對重大的短期經濟影響,但Rank已迅速且果斷地採取適當的緩解措施。Rank位於英國的賭場及後勤辦公室合共7,600名英國員工當中,約7,000名員工強制休假。Rank為英國政府冠狀病毒職位保留計劃彌補不足,令所有強制休假的同事將能獲得其工資的80%。
自今年4月1日起,Rank集團執行董事及非執行董事自願在員工強制休假期間降低工資及袍金20%。英國的CJRS,以及西班牙和比利時的類似計劃,所產生的正向現金影響約為每月800萬英鎊。Rank集團亦受惠於企業免商業稅假期每月約100萬英鎊。Rank集團正與供應商及業主進行磋商以減少現金流出。Rank的政策方針是確保Rank及其供應商都能夠過渡當前的經濟危機。
另外,Rank集團一般將於今年10月派付下一次股息。除非所有因Rank集團為減輕疫情帶來的經濟影響的行動所產生的債權人獲得解決,以及Rank賭場重開後可確實看見未來現金流,否則Rank董事會不打算建議派付股息。
假設所有賭場於截至今年6月30日止財政年度的其餘時間持續關閉,Rank於該年度的基本經營溢利預計在採納國際財務報告準則第16號之後將介乎4,800萬英鎊至5,800萬英鎊。
