27 Marzo 2020 - 11:20PM
Business Wire
The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (NYSE: MTW), (the “Company” or
“Manitowoc”) a leading global manufacturer of cranes and lifting
solutions, is providing a business update regarding the COVID-19
pandemic.
The Company continues to monitor and comply with all applicable
government health and safety mandates, with the primary goal of
ensuring the safety, health and well-being of all our employees,
their families, suppliers and customers. Manitowoc remains
committed to meeting our customers’ expectations, which include
delivery of cranes and providing essential parts and services.
The continuing spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has begun to
impact Manitowoc’s global operations and supply chain. The pandemic
has impacted the Company’s global manufacturing activities
including the temporary suspension or plans to suspend normal
manufacturing activity at our production facilities around the
world. At this time, the Company is continuing to operate its U.S.
manufacturing facilities and plans to continue operations, as
permitted by local authorities and our ability to procure materials
from our supply chain. Manitowoc’s China manufacturing facility was
closed for several weeks earlier in the first quarter; however, it
has since resumed normal operations.
The magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic on Manitowoc’s business,
financial position, results of operations and liquidity, which
could be material, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time due
to the rapid pace of developments associated with the pandemic.
Manitowoc’s financial results for 2020 will be determined by the
length of time the pandemic continues, its geographic spread, its
effect on the demand for our products and services, our supply
chain, as well as the effect of governmental regulations imposed in
response to the pandemic. As a result, Manitowoc is withdrawing its
financial outlook for 2020 provided in the press release filed as
Exhibit 99.1 to its Form 8-K filed on February 6, 2020 and
discussed on its February 7, 2020 earnings call.
Manitowoc’s financial position remains strong, ending 2019 with
$199 million of cash on hand and total liquidity of $445 million.
The Company believes it has adequate liquidity to meet its cash
requirements over the foreseeable future and remains in close
contact with its banking partners.
Manitowoc will provide an update to its business operations,
market conditions and financial results during its 2020
first-quarter press release and earnings call.
