Sazka Group updates its stakeholders

Sazka Group has given an update to its stakeholders regarding the measures its companies and retail partners have taken with regard to the coronavirus outbreak.

“First and foremost, in order to protect the health and safety of our customers, employees, partners and the public, all our companies have fully complied with all the decisions and recommendations of the public authorities in the countries of their operations,” it stated.

“We have successfully implemented contingency and business continuity plans with no significant impact to our business processes and almost all our employees are currently working from home.

“While all our digital channels continue to operate without interruption, our physical retail networks have adopted various measures to safeguard public health and the health of our employees.

“We anticipate that these developments will impact our financial performance. The extent of the impact will depend on factors including the duration of the outbreak, how much longer current restrictions remain in place, further measures taken by governments and the extent of economic disruption.”

Robert Chvatal, CEO, commented: “Management are working on mitigating steps to minimise the financial impact for our companies, our employees and our partners. Sazka Group is in daily contact with its local operating companies to coordinate timely response to the developments in individual markets.”
