Corporate turnaround through a continuity arrangement
Context: Italian company operating in the electronics and subcontracting sector, with a turnover of €8M and 80 employees.
Problem
Proposed solution
- Presence in the company of a Temporary Manager with general management functions.
- Study and drafting of the three-year Business Plan and the company Budget, broken down into sales budget, raw materials purchasing budget, personnel cost budget, and investment budget.
- Study of the causes of low profitability.
- Profitability analysis by product class.
- Review of the business strengthening strategy, with closure of unprofitable product lines.
- Opening of a preventive arrangement with creditors, in continuity.
- Reactivation of union relations also due to the “good reputation” of the Temporary Manager(s) with the parties involved.
Timing
10 months.
Results achieved
- Gross operating margin returned to positive.
- Optimized the existing organization.
- Defined three-year Business Plan and Budget.
- Activated management control with monthly reporting.
- Restored a "good company climate”.
- Reactivated relationships with suppliers and banks.
- The homologation of the arrangement obtained in 7 months.
- Revenue decline for three years.
- Lack of corporate reorganization.
- Loss of profitability linked to:
- Incorrect positioning of the company in the reference market.
- Type of products marketed.
- Very tight financial position of the company.
- Difficulty in obtaining further financial resources from credit institutions.
- Strong internal conflict.
- Union relations not managed.
- Position of shareholders/administrators at risk of procedure.
Main causes of the problem
- The company has progressively lost focus from its core business, opening and investing in product lines that do not generate profit.
- The company strategy, not supported by adequate management control, has led to heavy losses.
- The roles and responsibilities of shareholders, directors, and management appear poorly defined.
