Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
Reporting Delay: The Company expects to be unable to meet the May 11, 2020 deadline for its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. This delay is attributed to communication difficulties between internal personnel and external advisors caused by the COVID-19 emergency. The Company intends to rely on an SEC order granting exemptions and expects to file the report on or around May 19, 2020.
COVID-19 Impact: The Company has added a risk factor stating that the pandemic has significantly reduced demand for its services. Key concerns include:
- Material adverse impact on financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
- Reduction in international and U.S. economic activity affecting oil and natural gas demand.
- Operational disruptions due to social distancing and work-from-home procedures.
- Potential customer shutdowns of exploration and production activities.
