On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus known as COVID-19 due to the risks it imposes on the international community as the virus spreads globally. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. During this time, the market began to experience a decline in oil prices in response to oil demand concerns due to the global economic impacts of COVID-19. In addition, recent events concerning OPEC and Russia resulted in Saudi Arabia significantly discounting the price of its crude oil, as well as Saudi Arabia and Russia significantly increasing their oil supply. These actions have led to significant weakness in oil prices and ensuing reductions of exploration and production company capital and operating budgets.

The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve daily as of the date of this report. With the significant decline in oil prices as well as the general economic decline caused by the impacts of COVID-19, we expect utilization to decline among our smaller horsepower and medium horsepower units during the remainder of 2020 after a minimal decline during the first quarter of 2020. In terms of sales, we expect minimal compressor sales for the year due to much lower capital expenditure budgets throughout the industry, including those of our major customers. Finally, we have recently experienced and expect to continue to experience pricing pressure from our customers and competitors until industry and economic conditions improve. We are currently experiencing no issues with potential workforce and supply chain disruptions. Our relationship with our major customer continues to be strong, and they have continued to pay our invoices in a timely, consistent manner. Nevertheless, if any of these circumstances change, our business could be adversely affected.
While management anticipates that the industry and economic impact of the pandemic and OPEC’s actions will have a negative effect on its results of operations in 2020 and perhaps beyond, the degree to which these factors will impact our business remains uncertain.
