Comments on the results

As a result of contractions in business activity in all regions related to the pandemic beginning in Q2 2020, Entertainment sales declined 36% for the year. The fourth quarter topline evolution however reflects marked recovery mainly driven by projects in the ProAV and cinema markets led by China. During 2020, the cinema activity accounted for approximately 50% of the divisional sales down from 58% in 2019. EBITDA was break-even on the decline in gross profit and a negative operating leverage effect on fixed costs due to weaker divisional sales.
