Forward guidance

Due to ongoing uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is refraining from providing formal financial guidance for the full-year fiscal 2021 until it further assesses the direction of industrial activity. Near term, assuming underlying demand remains stable with July and early August levels, first quarter sales are expected to decline 17% to 18% year-over-year on an organic basis.
