Let's just say that it's a very fluid situation. Wacker drive gets to see future bookings and they build their projections based on what they're expecting. I suspect some of the more optimistic numbers assumed that international travel restrictions would be lifted soon/by now.
The models are probably not giving them a good picture of what to expect and changing one or two variables probably results in radically different demand forecasts.
