Forward guidance
Given the significant uncertainty surrounding the eventual magnitude and duration of the impact of COVID-19 on the economy globally, the company withdrew its 2020 guidance.
Tailwinds
- Postponing additional non-essential capital expenditures
- Reducing our temporary labor force
- Reducing overtime
- Applying additional salary reductions
- Reducing working hours to lower payroll expense
Headwinds
- The economic impact of the pandemic has negatively affected our sales and orders for April.
- Second quarter headwinds are expected, with the largest impact in April due to shutdowns of many global OEM customers.
- A portion of our backlog has been postponed from April to later in the second quarter.
- A smaller number of orders have been cancelled.
- We do not have updated order schedules from OEMs due to their extended shutdowns.
