Seasonality |
Seasonality | 4. Seasonality The Company’s operations are both seasonal and event driven. Revenues tend to be the highest during the second and fourth calendar quarters as the Company generally conducts more auctions during these quarters. Volumes tend to also be lower during the third quarter, as supply of used equipment is lower as it is actively being used and not available for sale. Late December through mid-February and mid-July through August are traditionally less active periods. The restrictions imposed and effects of the overall economic environment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted and may continue to impact these trends.
