- We remain committed to driving sustainable growth and creating long-term value to our shareholders.
Challenges Ahead
- The COVID-19 outbreak will continue to have a material adverse impact on its operational and financial results in 2020.
- Future operations, as well as the Company’s cash flows and financial position, may be materially and adversely influenced by further developments related to this global outbreak, including potential additional announcements and actions from governments and local authorities, disruption in our supply chain, our inability to provide safety measures to protect our employees, or other reasons.
