COVID-19 We experienced lower sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of the emergence of the COVID-19 virus, which was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and then spread throughout Asia before emerging and becoming a pandemic in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. Our sales were negatively impacted first in the Asia Pacific geography and later in the United States, Europe and elsewhere as lockdown measures were implemented and hospitals and surgery centers postponed many non-urgent surgical procedures in order to minimize the risk of infection with COVID-19. We believe the deferral of non-urgent procedures has had a greater impact on our Orthopedic product lines compared to General Surgery as a result of the nature of the products and the procedures in which they are used. In compliance with various governmental orders, beginning in March we restricted access to our main facilities to only essential personnel required to be onsite (primarily manufacturing and distribution) with substantially all other personnel working remotely. As a medical device manufacturer, we were designated as an essential business by the relevant authorities in New York, Florida, Georgia and Mexico and have maintained production or distribution at our facilities in these locations. We expect to continue to experience materially lower sales for as long as interruptions to business and economic activities, and deferral of surgeries continues. We anticipate this will materially impact the results of operations for at least the remainder of 2020. As a result, on April 17, 2020, we amended our sixth amended and restated senior credit agreement to suspend our required leverage ratios for up to four quarters. Under the terms of the amendment, we have certain minimum liquidity and fixed charge coverage ratio requirements with which we were in full compliance as of June 30, 2020. We are forecasting that sales and earnings will be sufficient to remain in compliance with the liquidity and fixed charge coverage ratio requirements under the terms of the amendment and we will have sufficient availability under our revolving credit facility to meet our liquidity needs. We have undertaken steps to reduce our spending and expenses in light of our expectation that our revenues will be depressed for at least the remainder of 2020. While we expect that we will be well positioned when surgeries begin to return to their pre-pandemic levels, we are unable to predict with certainty how long the COVID-19 pandemic will last, or resurgence thereof, or how severe its economic impact will be. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic and government responses thereto have subsided, residual economic and other effects may have an impact on the demand for post-pandemic surgery levels that are difficult to predict. If the downturn is more severe and prolonged than we currently expect, we may need to take further steps to reduce our costs, or to refinance our debt. Additionally, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020 to provide economic relief in the early wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes many measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. Income tax relief includes temporary favorable changes to net operating loss and interest expense annual deduction limitations. These provisions are not expected to result in any material impact to our financial results.
