COVID-19
Pandemic
In December 2019, a novel coronavirus disease
(“COVID-19”)
was reported and in January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. On February 28, 2020, the WHO raised its assessment of the
COVID-19
threat from high to very high at a global level due to the continued increase in the number of cases and affected countries, and on March 11, 2020, the WHO characterized
COVID-19
as a pandemic.
During the second quarter of 2020 in the midst of
the
COVID-19
pandemic, the Company
continued to
increase its U.S. Stores revenues.
Supply Chain also remained operational, with minimal interruptions due to COVID-19 and experienced higher volumes as a result of the increases in store sales.
 
However, the
COVID-19
pandemic negatively impacted the Company’s International Franchise revenues due to temporary store closures
in certain markets as well as
 
changes in operating procedures and store hours resulting from actions taken to increase social distancing across its international markets. The Company is
closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business and is
unable at this time to predict the
continued
 
impact that
COVID-19
will have on its business, financial position and operating results in future periods due to numerous uncertainties.
