The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, or the perception of its effects, will impact our business depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, and the effects of the pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
The global spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has created significant
macroeconomic uncertainty, volatility, and disruption. In response, many
governments have implemented policies intended to stop or slow the further
spread of the disease, such as lockdowns, shelter-in-place, or restricted
movement guidelines, and these measures may remain in place for a significant
period of time. These policies have resulted in lower consumer and commercial
activity across many markets and the closure of
The spread of the coronavirus has caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, clients and business partners. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus or otherwise be satisfactory to government authorities.
The extent to which the coronavirus outbreak impacts our business, financial condition, results of operation or cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and geographic spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the coronavirus outbreak has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of its global economic impact, including any recession, economic downturn, or increased unemployment that has occurred or may occur in the future.
There are no comparable recent events which may provide guidance as to the effect of the spread of the coronavirus and a global pandemic, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of the coronavirus outbreak or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the impacts on our business, our operations or the global economy as a whole.
However, the effects could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
