Forward guidance
The COVID-19 pandemic presents an economic challenge of unprecedented proportions with an uncertain time frame, and the company is preparing for a significant downturn lasting anywhere from four to six months.
Tailwinds
- Lower-fixed-cost, broad-distribution business model gives the company more flexibility to scale its business up or down.
- Strong presence in e-commerce, since that channel is holding up during this crisis so far.
Headwinds
- Erratic stock market and spike in unemployment claims.
- Supply chain disruptions.
- Cancellation of business, social, sporting, academic and religious gatherings, including High Point Premarket and the postponement of the Spring High Point Market.
- Some customers have closed temporarily as many communities across the country are under stay-at-home orders from state and local authorities.
- Spike in order cancellations over the last few weeks, which has blunted some of the strong backlog the company saw at year-end.
