U.K.-based engineering company Spirax-Sarco said Wednesday that it expects a 4% hit to full-year sales and profits if exchange rates remain at current levels for the rest of the year.

总部位于英国的工程公司Spirax-Sarco周三表示，如果汇率在今年剩余时间保持在当前水平，预计全年销售额和利润将受到4%的打击。

The FTSE 100 listed group, which operates in more than 60 countries, said a stronger sterling had an adverse impact on its sales and operating profit in the four months to October 31.

这家在60多个国家开展业务的富时100指数(FTSE 100)成分股公司表示，英镑走强对其截至10月31日的4个月的销售额和营业利润产生了不利影响。

Spirax-Sarco earns more than 90% of its revenue outside the U.K., a spokesman for the company said. More than half of this is earned in dollars and the euro, which have both weakened against sterling compared to 2020, he said.

Spirax-Sarco的一位发言人说，该公司90%以上的收入来自英国以外。他表示，其中一半以上是以美元和欧元赚取的，与2020年相比，这两种货币对英镑的汇率都有所下降。

GBP/USD ended October at 1.3694, more than 5% higher compared to a year ago, according to FactSet. EUR/GBP fell more than 6% to 0.8438 over the same period.

根据Factset的数据，10月份英镑兑美元汇率为1.3694，比一年前上涨了5%以上。欧元/英镑同期下跌逾6%.至0.8438。

Despite the currency hit, the group continues to expect record revenue, profit and operating margin for 2021 after seeing strong demand in the four months to the end of October. However, it cut its forecasts for global industrial production as supply chain disruptions led to material shortages and rising costs.

尽管汇率受到打击，但在截至10月底的4个月中看到强劲需求后，该集团仍预计2021年的营收、利润率和营业利润率将创下纪录。然而，由于供应链中断导致材料短缺和成本上升，该公司下调了对全球工业生产的预测。
