COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States and other parts of the world. It is impossible to predict the effect and ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as the situation is rapidly evolving. The spread of COVID-19 has caused public health officials to recommend precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, including the closure of local government facilities and parks, schools, restaurants, many businesses and other locations of public assembly. As a result, the Company and its clients have seen a significant disruption in business, including a steep decline in payment volume and the number of transactions processed, and therefore, a decline in revenue in the Company's strategic verticals. There are no reliable estimates of how long the pandemic will last or how many people are likely to be affected by it. For that reason, the Company is unable to predict the long-term impact of the pandemic on its business at this time.
COVID-19 is having a significant effect on overall economic conditions in the United States, and efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 intensified in March and April 2020. The economic impact of these conditions is materially impacting the Company's business and is expected to continue to adversely impact its strategic verticals and its business in general. Given these conditions, there could be material changes to recorded balances and estimates in the future.
