On its first-quarter earnings call, the company withdrew its 2020 view in April although the coronavirus pandemic did not have any material impact on its operations during the first quarter. It believes that the decision is prudent, considering the significant impacts of the pandemic on the global economy, commercial activities, global health and further potential business disruptions.
