22. COVID-19 Impacts

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. The Company is actively monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which negatively impacted its business in 2020 and may negatively impact its business and results of operations in the future. 

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates particularly as it relates to estimates reliant on forecasts and other assumptions reasonably available to the Company and the uncertain future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruptions. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruptions impact the Company’s business and financial results will depend on future developments including, but not limited to, the continued spread, duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic; the occurrence, spread, duration and severity of any subsequent wave or waves of outbreaks after the initial outbreak has subsided; the actions taken by the U.S. and foreign governments to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, address its impact or respond to the reduction in global and local economic activity; the occurrence,

duration and severity of a global, regional or national recession, depression or other sustained adverse market event; the impact of the developments described above on its customers and suppliers; and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to:

• allowance for doubtful accounts and credit losses;

• carrying value of inventory; and

• the carrying value of goodwill and other long-lived assets.

There was no material impact to the above estimates in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other factors, could result in material changes to the estimates and material impacts to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in future reporting periods.
