Forward Guidance
The impact from COVID-19 on the Company's consolidated results of operations, including expectations of dispositions of real estate, will be dictated by the duration and severity of the pandemic, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions resume. Given those factors are beyond the Company's control and knowledge, the adverse impact of the pandemic on the Company's results of operations cannot be reasonably estimated, and could be material.
Positive Outlook
- The Company has taken various actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to adjust our business operations and to address the needs of our residents and associates.
- The Company is committed to the health and safety of its associates and residents and has implemented many new protocols based on the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and other government-mandated or recommended guidelines, including establishing social-distancing procedures and other safety and operating measures.
- The Company has also adopted certain measures to help mitigate the financial impact arising from the pandemic on its residents, including providing flexible lease renewal options, creating payment plans, and waiving late fees.
- To support its associates during this difficult time, the Company has elected to adopt new, temporary leave policies and is providing all full- and part-time associates with up to six weeks of emergency paid leave.
- As of May 4, 2020, the Company is in the process of restarting construction at four of the six communities that had been temporarily suspended, after changes in state and local advisories in Washington state and Northern California.
Challenges Ahead
- The impact from COVID-19 on the Company's consolidated results of operations will be dictated by the duration and severity of the pandemic.
