Some examples of accomplished missions :
A French computer company sells software on the internet and invoices its clients in US$. Its annual turnover was US$40,000 in 2008 and US$44,000 in 2009. Despite an increase of 10% in its turnover (denominated in US$), the weakening of the US$ against the EUR during this period lead to a flat turnover in EUR. DTFX Conseil helped this company to hedge against the US$ movements and grow its turnover in EUR in line with the growth of its business activity.
A US car importer was founded in 2006 to benefit from the weak US$. The strengthening in the US$ during mid-2008 greatly reduced its margins from EUR200,000 to EUR30,000 and highlighted the impact that the FX volatility had on its business.
DTFX Conseil provided a solution whereby this company had a cap on the level at which it would buy US$ for 2010 and 2011. This strategy took into account the variability of its business activity.
In addition to guaranteeing a minimum margin per unit, DTFX Conseil helped the company to strengthen its competitive situation.
A French wine exporter had delivered a constant turnover of EUR1 million since 2006. Although it had worldwide exports, all its invoices were denominated in EUR in order to avoid any foreign exchange risk on its margins.
However, the rapid strengthening of the EUR at the end of 2009 resulted in a significant loss of market share to its competitors, which invoiced in US$.
DTFX Conseil established a hedging strategy for this customer, which involved a floor and a cap for its buy and sell of US$ for the years 2010 and 2011. As a result, this client started invoicing in US$ which allowed them to regain most of their lost customers.
In addition, this hedging strategy would let them lower their prices in US$ in case of strengthening US$
