On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The pandemic has significantly impacted economic conditions globally, with economic impacts accelerating in the U.S. during the second half of March, as federal, state and local governments reacted to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the economy. As of the date of this filing, the Company has been impacted by the economic decline resulting, among others, from brick-and-mortar customer closures and reduced demand from these customers. Despite labor concerns due to COVID-19, the Company’s global distribution facility capacity and supply chain remain fully operational.
The Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic, however, as a result of these developments the Company believes that there could be a material adverse impact on its future sales, results of operations, and cash flows in the remainder of fiscal 2020, including the potential impairment of certain intangible and other long-lived assets.
In response to the evolving impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the Company announced a number of cost reduction actions in April 2020 including a reduction in cash compensation to certain of the Company’s senior executives and the Company’s Board of Directors. In addition, the Company has furloughed a number of employees as a precautionary measure in the event of a prolonged economic downturn.
In addition to these cost reductions announced in April, the Company has taken actions to safeguard its liquidity position. In March 2020, the Company borrowed $43.1 million under the ABL Agreement to provide additional liquidity and financial flexibility in light of current economic conditions and uncertainties arising in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the Board of Directors has authorized the postponement of the Company's quarterly cash dividend, which was to be paid on May 15, 2020, to shareholders of record on May 1, 2020. On April 23, 2020, the Company announced a new record date of November 16, 2020, with the dividend payable on December 16, 2020.
