Forward guidance

The company expects that the negative impact on revenues and business in general will be substantial for the foreseeable future due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The outlook for the remainder of the year is uncertain due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tailwinds

  • Rush Truck Centers are classified as “essential businesses” and have remained fully operational across the Company’s dealership network
  • Parts supply chain has remained uninterrupted to-date
  • The company increased parts inventories at all stores to support an estimated extra 30 days of demand
  • Cash position remains strong at $138 million
  • The company renewed a $100 million line of credit for another two years.

Headwinds

  • The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our Company began late in the first quarter impacting only the last few weeks of March
  • Customers are delaying purchases due to economic uncertainty
  • Temporary production suspensions lead to questions about availability of new inventory
  • Aftermarket products and services revenues will be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic
  • Medium-duty truck sales will be negatively impacted by the pandemic, as medium-duty commercial vehicle sales usually track closely to the general economy
