Capral's order absorption, aligned with the budget of Q1 2020, reflected to shrink rapidly in April, prompting management to execute cost-saving measures to meet COVID-19 challenges.
In May’20, when Capral enrolled in the Government’s JobKeeper initiative to preserve employee jobs, revenue started to fall. However, from June’20 onwards order consumption and revenues started to show improvement on the back of increased market share against imports.
Capral is expected to announce final audited results for the half-year ended 30 June 2020 on 21st August 2020.
