ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Information about risk factors for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 does not differ materially from that set forth in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2019 except as set forth below.
COVID-19
Pandemic
A novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19,
surfaced in December 2019 and has spread around the world, including to the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19
a pandemic. The COVID-19
pandemic began to impact our operations late in the first quarter of 2020 and is likely to continue to adversely affect our business and results of operations, including as government authorities impose or reimpose mandatory closures, work-from-home orders and social distancing protocols, or impose other restrictions. These actions could materially adversely affect our ability to adequately staff and maintain our operations, impair our ability to sustain sufficient financial liquidity and adversely impact our financial results. While our locations continue to operate, we have restricted public access to our branches and a few of our locations experienced short-term closures for COVID-19
employee health concerns or are operating at a diminished capacity, negatively impacting sales for the second quarter of 2020.
COVID-19
related factors that have impacted, or may negatively impact, sales, gross margin and other results of operations in the future include, but are not limited to: limitations on the ability of our suppliers to manufacture, or procure from manufacturers, the products we sell, or to meet delivery requirements and commitments; limitations on the ability of our employees to perform their work due to illness or other disruptions caused by the pandemic, including local, state, or federal orders requiring employees to remain at home; limitations on the ability of carriers to deliver our products to customers; limitations on the ability of our customers to conduct their businesses and purchase our products; and limitations on the ability of our customers to pay us on a timely basis. Moreover, the COVID-19
pandemic could alter the mix of our business due to a shift in consumer demand towards repair of equipment rather than replacement, as well as changes in our sales mix toward value-oriented equipment and lower demand and/or disruption to new construction and commercial markets, which would result in a reduction in our sales and consequential gross margin.
As we cannot predict the duration or scope of the COVID-19
pandemic, the anticipated negative financial impact to our results of operations cannot be reasonably estimated but could be material and last for an extended period of time.
