On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The pandemic has significantly impacted the economic conditions in the U.S., accelerating during the first half of March, as federal, state and local governments react to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the economy. As of the date of this filing, the Company has been impacted by temporary facility closures and reduced hours of operations.
In Michigan, Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s “Stay Home, Stay Safe” executive order required all non-essential businesses to close for three weeks until April 13. As a result, this order has reduced operations in the Company’s West Michigan manufacturing facilities. Internationally, the Company’s manufacturing facility located near Bangalore, India is temporarily closed under a government order. In the United Kingdom, manufacturing and distribution operations are suspended until further notice. In Brazil and Mexico, the Company’s manufacturing and warehouse facilities, which serve the Latin America region, are temporarily closed under a government order. Additionally, DWR and HAY retail studios and stores across the U.S. are currently closed to the public.
The Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic, however, as a result of these developments the Company expects a material adverse impact on its sales, results of operations, and cash flows in the remainder of fiscal 2020 and in fiscal 2021, including the potential impairment of certain intangible and other long-lived assets.
In response to these developments, the Company announced a number of temporary cost reduction actions in April 2020 including a reduction in cash compensation for the majority of the Company's salaried workforce and suspension of certain employer 401(k) paid retirement contributions along with other measures.
In addition to these cost reductions, the Company has taken actions to safeguard its capital position. In March 2020, the Company borrowed $265 million from its syndicated revolving line of credit as a precautionary measure to provide additional near-term liquidity. In addition, the Board of Directors has authorized the postponement of the Company's upcoming quarterly cash dividend, which was declared on January 16, 2020, and was to be paid on April 15, 2020, to shareholders of record on February 29, 2020. The Company intends for this dividend to be paid to the original shareholders of record at a future date to be determined by the Board of Directors. The Board also determined to temporarily suspend future dividends.
