2020 Outlook
"As we progress through the second quarter, our cost reduction and financial management measures that were implemented late in the first quarter remain in place," added Mr. Nemeth. "We have recently taken additional steps to further reduce our fixed cost structure to align with projected revenues, consolidating certain like-product facilities as appropriate to maximize efficiencies, and have eliminated approximately $35 million of annualized fixed overhead, which will take effect in the second quarter of 2020. We have developed detailed, tiered execution plans, and as we continue to assess the macro environment and related demand levels within our market sectors, we will enact further measures as deemed necessary to adapt to the rapidly changing environment. Furthermore, in September 2019, we amended and extended our credit facility in conjunction with the issuance of senior notes to both support our long-term strategic plan and for defensive purposes for unanticipated situations such as this pandemic. Our capital structure and financial position remain strong and provide ample liquidity, which together with the flexibility of our highly variable cost model, will help us to manage through the economic turmoil and be able to quickly pivot and execute on our strategic growth initiatives once stability and visibility in the markets improve."
Mr. Nemeth continued, "I am extremely proud of all of our passionate and dedicated team members throughout the organization who have worked diligently and tirelessly as we manage through these unprecedented times. Their commitment to our Company, each other, and our communities has been truly inspiring. Our organization, team members, and business units have continued to donate and manufacture personal protective equipment for front line COVID-19 workers in our local communities, volunteer their time, and sponsor lunches for medical professionals and staff at several local hospitals. As we look to the second quarter of 2020 and the remainder of the year, our organization remains extremely focused on short-term planning and execution with a commitment to our long-term goals of executing our strategic plan, driving shareholder value, reinvesting in our team members and communities, dealing responsibly with our business partners, and servicing our customers at the highest level."
