Our U.S.-based businesses are designated as national critical infrastructure companies by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and, as such, have been required to stay open. Within our Aerospace segment, quarantine and travel restrictions in connection with the outbreak have delayed aircraft deliveries and impacted some supply chain providers. Our defense business has experienced minimal disruptions to date. We have instituted various initiatives throughout the company as part of our business continuity programs, and we are working to mitigate risk when disruptions occur. While we expect this situation to be temporary, any longer-term impact to our business is currently unknown due to the uncertainty around the outbreak’s duration and its broader impact. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;text-indent:24px;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The nature of our business requires that we make estimates and assumptions in accordance with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The COVID-19 outbreak has impacted these estimates and assumptions and will continue to do so. The accounting for long-term contracts requires the use of estimates (see Note C). Our estimates at the end of the first quarter assumed no material impact from the disruptions caused by COVID-19. This assumption was based in part on the expectation that COVID-related costs will be reimbursed by our customers. The United States and other governments have taken steps, such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) and U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) guidance, to provide relief. Through these government actions and our contract provisions, we will seek reimbursement of these costs. As the process for reimbursement has not been finalized, it is possible that our actual reimbursement could be less than 100% of our costs, resulting in a potentially unfavorable impact on the profitability of our contracts. Given the uncertainties, we are unable to estimate an amount or range, if any, of reasonably possible loss for costs that may not be reimbursed.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;text-indent:24px;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The company is also monitoring for other long-term impacts of the pandemic, such as the impairment of goodwill, intangibles or other long-lived assets. As of the end of the quarter, we have not identified a triggering event requiring an impairment test.</span></div>
