It remains unclear when the pandemic will end, and its effects on MC's operations will differ depending on the industries and regions in question; however, the above forecasts have been made assuming a gradual recovery in economic conditions over the second half of this fiscal year.
For more information, please see MC's financial results for the three months ended June 2020, which the company released today.
Note: The above forecasts are projections based on information available at the time of this release and certain assumptions that management believes to be reasonable. Due to a variety of factors, actual results may differ materially from these forecasts, which are not intended as a guarantees of future performance.
