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.

總部位於英國的工程公司Spirax-Sarco週三表示，如果匯率在今年剩餘時間保持在當前水平，預計全年銷售額和利潤將受到4%的打擊。

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.

這家在60多個國家開展業務的富時100指數(FTSE 100)成分股公司表示，英鎊走強對其截至10月31日的4個月的銷售額和營業利潤產生了不利影響。

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的一位發言人説，該公司90%以上的收入來自英國以外。他表示，其中一半以上是以美元和歐元賺取的，與2020年相比，這兩種貨幣對英鎊的匯率都有所下降。

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.

根據Factset的數據，10月份英鎊兑美元匯率為1.3694，比一年前上漲了5%以上。歐元/英鎊同期下跌逾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.

儘管匯率受到打擊，但在截至10月底的4個月中看到強勁需求後，該集團仍預計2021年的營收、利潤率和營業利潤率將創下紀錄。然而，由於供應鏈中斷導致材料短缺和成本上升，該公司下調了對全球工業生產的預測。
