Material Changes and Operational Impact
The company anticipates immediately preparing the leased facility for use as a manufacturing, distribution, and office center. The facility is expected to be fully operational in 2021. This represents a significant expansion of the company's physical footprint and fixed cost structure.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management expects the landlord's work to be completed by November 21, 2020, with full operations in 2021.
