COVID-19

As of the filing date of this report, many of our Company-owned retail stores globally have been impacted by temporary closures, reduced store hours or reduced traffic. The Company has seen, and expects to continue to see material reductions in sales as a result of COVID-19. In addition, these reductions in sales have not been offset by proportional decreases in expenses, as the Company continues to incur store occupancy costs such as operating lease costs, depreciation expense, and certain other costs such as compensation and administrative expenses, resulting in a negative effect on the relationship between the Company’s expenses and sales. The Company continues to take steps to manage the Company's resources conservatively by reducing and/or deferring capital expenditures, aligning inventory purchases with expected sales, reducing advertising expenditures, reducing compensation related costs, in part through employee furloughs, and reducing overall operating expenses to mitigate the adverse impact of the pandemic. The current circumstances are dynamic and the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s business operations, including the duration and impact on overall consumer demand, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company anticipates COVID-19 will have a material adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the year-ending December 31, 2020. As the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and rapidly evolving, the Company's plans may change. In addition, the Company could experience other material impacts as a result of COVID-19, including, but not limited to, charges from potential adjustments of the carrying amount of accounts receivable, inventory, goodwill, intangible assets, asset impairment charges, and deferred tax valuation allowances.
