Héroux-Devtek Withdraws Fiscal 2022 Guidance Amid COVID-19 Uncertainty

LONGUEUIL, QC, April 7, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - Héroux-Devtek Inc. (TSX: HRX) ("Héroux-Devtek" or the "Corporation"), a leading international manufacturer of aerospace products and the world's third-largest landing gear manufacturer, today announced its decision to withdraw its Fiscal 2022 sales guidance given the uncertainty brought to overall economic conditions, and specifically the aerospace market, by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

"We are withdrawing our Fiscal 2022 sales guidance given our currently limited visibility over the longer-term impact of the pandemic on the aerospace market, especially in the commercial segment. Our strong defence backlog, however, will play a key role in our ability to weather the storm," said Martin Brassard, President and CEO of Héroux-Devtek.
