There is considerable uncertainty regarding the extent to which the coronavirus will continue to spread and the extent and duration of measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, <span style="white-space:nowrap">shelter-in-place</span> orders, and business and government shutdowns. Many government subdivisions have imposed restrictions on the operation of our membership warehouses, including limiting the number of members who may enter at one time and preventing the sales of certain categories of merchandise. We are taking temporary precautionary measures intended to help minimize the risk of the virus to our employees, including temporarily requiring some employees to work remotely and suspending all <span style="white-space:nowrap">non-essential</span> travel for our employees, which could negatively affect our business. To reward our employees for exemplary service in difficult times we have temporarily increased compensation levels and otherwise incurred increased spending for wages and benefits, including overtime pay. The outbreak and any preventative or protective actions that governments or we may take in respect of this coronavirus are likely to result in a period of business disruption, reduced member traffic and reduced sales in certain merchandise categories, and increased operating expenses, which we currently estimate will exceed $250 million for the fiscal quarter ending May 10, 2020. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our results and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain and treat its impacts, among others. </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:18pt"></p>
