The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to negatively impact our financial results in the second quarter and in later periods of 2020; we had some disruption in our plumbing business due to factory closures in China during the first quarter and have seen a decline in orders and increased inefficiencies in some of our plants during April 2020. A number of countries and US states have issued orders requiring nonessential businesses to close and persons who were not engaged in essential businesses to stay at home. Most states and jurisdictions have, to date, designated our products, our retail channel partners and residential construction as essential business activities. A small number of jurisdictions where we operate did not deem our products as part of an essential business, impacting both our ability to manufacture as well as the demand for some of our products. While there has been no significant impact to our business during the first quarter, if these closures were to increase or become prolonged, and unless we are able to shift production to other manufacturing facilities or suppliers, plant closures or the absence of a necessary labor force may disrupt our ability to produce and deliver our products. Additionally, we may incur increased restructuring and other charges during the remainder of 2020 as a result of the economic impacts of the outbreak. As we are uncertain of the full magnitude or duration of the business and economic impacts of COVID-19, we are unable to estimate with certainty the ultimate impact it will have on our consolidated financial statements at this time.
