Due to the overall global economic conditions in 2020, largely as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the automotive industry experienced a decline in global customer sales and production volumes. Production disruptions continued in 2021 and are continuing in 2022, again largely due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly through supply shortages and, to a lesser extent, the resurgence of the virus in China with corresponding 'stay at home' government orders, as well as the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The most significant supply shortage relates to semiconductor chips, which is impacting global vehicle production and resulting in reductions and cancellations of planned production. In addition, the Company is experiencing increased costs related to labor inefficiencies and shortages, which are likely to continue for a period of time. Increases in certain commodity costs, as well as transportation, logistics and utility costs, are also impacting, and will continue to impact, the Company's operating results for the foreseeable future. Further resurgences of the COVID-19 virus or its variants in other regions, including corresponding "stay at home" or similar government orders impacting industry production, could also impact the Company's financial results.
In March 2022, as the Company's customers began to suspend their Russian operations as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Company similarly suspended its Russian operations. Although the Company's net sales and total assets in Russia represent less than 1% of consolidated net sales and total assets, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and sanctions imposed on Russia globally have resulted in economic and supply chain disruptions affecting the overall industry, the ultimate financial impact of which cannot be reasonably estimated. Further, although the Company does not have operations in Ukraine, the Ukrainian operations of certain of the Company's suppliers and suppliers of its customers have been and will continue to be disrupted by the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by management as of July 2, 2022, and for the six months then ended. Such estimates and assumptions affect, among other things, the Company's goodwill; long-lived asset and indefinite-lived intangible asset valuations; inventory valuations; valuations of deferred income taxes and income tax contingencies; and credit losses related to the Company's financial instruments. Events and circumstances arising after July 2, 2022, including those resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, will be reflected in management's estimates and assumptions in future periods.
