Peter Dornau, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "While we faced headwinds in the first quarter of 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the economy, we are optimistic that our sales and profit outlook for the full year 2020 will be strong. Late in the first quarter, the Company started receiving large orders for its EPA-approved disinfectant/sanitizer product Performacide®, used against the SARS-CoV-2 virus—the cause of COVID-19. As a result of the increased sales order inflow, the Company, as previously announced, took immediate actions increasing personnel and shifts for the manufacture of Performacide®, and also increased its production capacity of Performacide® with additional, new equipment. The Company ended the first quarter 2020 with a large backlog of orders for Performacide®."

Mr. Dornau commented further: "Like many companies, we experienced a negative impact on our first quarter sales and financial performance as a result of COVID-19. Stay-at-home and shelter-in-place orders, marina and boat ramp closures, as well as retail store and shipping restrictions all contributed. Our largest customer closed its corporate and administrative headquarters and significantly reduced staff at its distribution centers, which delayed or postponed all of their already-placed orders and incoming shipments. In addition, they reduced retail store hours and closed some retail stores for the time being. We also saw similar patterns at our other retail customers as their stores were under restriction." 

Mr. Dornau continued: "However, as stay-at-home and shelter-in-place orders are being lifted by states, marinas and retail outlets, including those of our largest customer, are reopening. We believe that as recreational boating increases, we will see our core marine incoming order pace increase. Several factors, including lower-than-average fuel prices, lack of options such as movie theaters or theme parks, and with what we believe is a strong desire from consumers to be outdoors will all support a very active recreational boating 2020 season."

Mr. Dornau also noted that in the first quarter of 2020, Company gross margins also benefitted from improved manufacturing efficiencies. 

He concluded: "Our balance sheet and cash flow are strong. As a testimonial to the financial strength of our Company, we have not furloughed or laid off any personnel, nor found it necessary to accept loans from the SBA - Payroll Protection Program. We are optimistic as the world slowly reopens that we can deliver solid financial results for the full year 2020."
