1. | Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. AMETEK, Inc. (the “Company”) believes that all adjustments (which primarily consist of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company at March 31, 2020, the consolidated results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 have been included. Quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. COVID-19 On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic. As a result of market and economic conditions, in accordance with the guidelines set forth in ASC 350 and ASC 360, the Company performed an analysis for potential interim impairment indicators of its intangible and other long-lived assets. As of March 31, 2020, the Company concluded there were no indicators of impairment that resulted in a triggering event to perform an interim test of impairment of goodwill, other indefinite-lived intangibles, or long-lived assets. The Company will continue to monitor its assets for potential impairment through the remainder of 2020.
