In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in Wuhan, China and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the U.S. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. Since March 11, 2020 states in the U.S., including California, where the Company is headquartered, have begun to open up as the result of the development of vaccines to thwart the spread of the virus. New variants of COVID-19 have surfaced around the world, including the United States which may cause additional closures of economies depending on how virulent the new strains are. New COVID-19 variant outbreaks may further disrupted supply chains and affected production and sales across a wide range of industries. The extent of the impact of new COVID-19 outbreaks on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and further spread of the outbreak, continued impact on our customers, employees and vendors all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.
