TD SYNNEX CORP 10-Q

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors You should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results set forth under Part I-Item 1A (Risk Factors) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019. In addition, the risk to our business from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union are set forth below: The widespread outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We could be negatively impacted by the widespread outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis that results in economic and trade disruptions, including the disruption of global supply chains. In December 2019, there was an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and workforce participation due to “shelter-in-place” restrictions by various governments worldwide and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. This has adversely impacted our results of operations during the nine months ended August 31, 2020 . The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related restrictions on travel and transports, the effect on our customers and clients and demand for our products and services; our ability to sell and provide our products and services, including as a result of travel restrictions and people working from home; the ability of our clients to pay for our services and solutions; and any closures of our and our customers’ and clients’ offices and facilities all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. We could also face legal, reputational and financial risks if we fail to protect customer and internal data from security breaches or cyberattacks. An extended period of global supply chain and economic disruption could materially affect our business, our plans to separate our Concentrix segment into an independent public company, our results of operations, our access to sources of liquidity, the carrying value of our goodwill and intangible assets, our financial condition and our stock price. The United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union (“EU”) could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom left the EU (“Brexit”). The United Kingdom and EU are now in a transitional period during which the United Kingdom will maintain access to the EU single market and to the global trade deals negotiated by the EU on behalf of its members, and remain subject to EU law, until December 31, 2020. The uncertainty regarding the status of Brexit has negatively impacted the United Kingdom’s and the EU’s economies. This negative impact will likely continue until the United Kingdom and EU reach and implement a definitive resolution on their future trading relationship. Any additional impact of Brexit will depend on the terms of such resolution. Even if the United Kingdom maintains access to the EU single market and trade deals following the transition period, Brexit could result in further economic downturn globally. If the United Kingdom ultimately loses access to the EU single market and trade deals, significant market and economic disruption could occur, our customer experience, service quality and international operations could be negatively impacted, and the demand for our services could be depressed. Additionally, we may face new regulations regarding trade, tax, security and employees, among others, in the United Kingdom. Compliance with such regulations could be costly, negatively impacting our business, results of operations and financial condition. Brexit could also adversely affect European and worldwide economic and market conditions and could contribute to instability in global financial and foreign exchange markets, including volatility in the value of the Euro and the British Pound. 40 Table of Contents ITEM 6.
