2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Operating results for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.2020.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 ("2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"(the "SEC"). The Company’s significant accounting policies, which have been consistently applied, are summarized in its 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
New Accounting Standards Implemented
In JulyAugust 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-09, Codification Improvements. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted this standard. This standard, which does not prescribe any new accounting guidance, makes minor improvements and clarifications of several different FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") areas based on comments and suggestions made by various stakeholders. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This standard provides financial statement preparers with the option to reclassify tax effects within other comprehensive income (referred to as stranded tax effects) to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (or portion thereof) is recorded. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted this standard. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), with several amendments (collectively "ASU 2016-02"). This standard requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet arising from operating leases. For both finance leases and operating leases, the lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments. In addition to recognizing the lease liability, companies are required to recognize a corresponding asset representing the right to use the underlying leased asset over the lease term. The right of use asset ("ROU") is initially measured as the value of the lease liability, plus indirect costs and prepaid lease payments, less lease incentives. ASU 2016-02 allows entities the option to apply its provisions at the effective date without adjusting comparative periods presented. The Company elected this optional transition method along with the package of practical expedients permitted under the standard which allowed the Company to not perform the following: (1) reassess whether expired or existing non-lease contracts that commenced before January 1, 2019 contained an embedded lease, (2) reevaluate the accounting classification of our existing operating leases, and
(3) determine whether initial direct costs related to existing leases should be capitalized. The Company also elected to combine lease and non-lease components in calculating the lease liability and ROU asset for operating leases. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted this standard which resulted in the recording of a ROU asset of $20.5 million and lease liability of $28.6 million representing a non-cash activity in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. See Note 8 for further discussion.
New Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other- Internal-UseOther-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)("ASU 2018-15"). This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software, including an internal useinternal-use software license. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect theadopted this standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard willdid not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). This standard modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurementsmeasurements. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). This standard clarifies the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under Topic 321, the accounting for equity method investments in Topic 323, and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options in Topic 815. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.2020. Early adoption is permitted.permitted, with the amendments to be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the guidance but does not expect the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company'sits condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740, "Income Taxes" and also improves consistent application by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, with the amendments to be applied on a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis, depending on the specific amendment. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Revenues
The Company's revenues are recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied, which occurs when control of the services is transferred to customers. Investment management fees, distribution and service fees, and administration and shareholder service fees are generally calculated as a percentage of average net assets of the investment portfolios managed. The net asset values from which investment management, distribution and service, and administration and shareholder service fees are calculated are variable in nature and subject to factors outside of the Company's control such as deposits,additional investments, withdrawals and market performance. Because of this, theythese fees are considered constrained until the end of the contractual measurement period (monthly or quarterly), which is when asset values are generally determinable.

The following is a discussion of the valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets measured at fair value:
Cash equivalents represent investments in money market funds. Cash investments in actively traded money market funds are valued using published net asset values and are classified as Level 1.
Sponsored funds represent investments in open-end funds, closed-end funds and ETFs for which the Company acts as the investment manager. The fair value of open-end funds is determined based on their published net asset values and are categorized as Level 1. The fair value of closed-end funds and ETFs is determined based on the official closing price on the exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1.
Equity securities represent securities traded on active markets and are valued at the official closing price (typically the last sale or bid) on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded and are categorized as Level 1.
Debt securities primarilyrepresent investments in CLOs for which the Company provides investment management services. The investments in CLOs are measured at fair value based on independent third-party valuations and are categorized as Level 2 and Level 3. The independent third-party valuations are based on discounted cash flow models and comparable trade data.
Nonqualified retirement plan assets represent mutual funds within a nonqualified retirement plan whose fair value is determined based on their published net asset value and are categorized as Level 1.
Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities equal or approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company had no Level 3 investments for the fair value measurement, including market inputs or performance attributes, become observable or unobservable or when the Company determines it has the ability, or no longer has the ability, to redeem, in the near term, certain investments that the Company values using a net asset value, or if the book value no longer represents fair value. There were no transfers between levels during the three and six monthsthree-month period ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

8. Leases
The Company recognizes a lease liability, and a corresponding asset (ROU asset), on the commencement date of any lease arrangement. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term using the rate implicit in the arrangement or, if not available, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. An operating lease asset is measured initially at the value of the lease liability excluding any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. All of the Company's leases qualify as operating leases and consist primarily of real estate leases for its office locations which have remaining initial lease terms ranging from 1.0 to 10.8 years and a weighted average remaining lease term of 7.2 years. The Company has options to renew some of its leases for periods ranging from 3.0 to 15.0 years, depending on the lease. None of the Company's renewal options were considered reasonably assured of being exercised and, therefore, all were excluded from the initial lease term used to determine the Company's ROU asset and lease liability. The balance at June 30, 2019 of the ROU asset recorded in other assets was $18.6 million and the balance of the lease liability recorded in other liabilities was $27.0 million in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. The weighted average discount rate used to measure the Company's lease liability was 4.91% at June 30, 2019.
Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded within other operating expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. Lease expense for the Company totaled $1.9 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $3.2 million and $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Cash payments relating to operating leases during the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $2.4 million.

12.10. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income available(loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding dilution for potential common stock
issuances. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, including: (1)(i) shares issuable upon the vesting of RSUs and common stock option exercises using the treasury stock method;method and (2)(ii) shares issuable upon the conversion of the Company's MCPS, as determined under the if-converted method. For purposes of calculating diluted EPS, preferred stock dividends have been subtracted from net income (loss) in periods in which utilizing the if-converted method would be anti-dilutive.
The computation of basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

13.11. Income Taxes
In calculating the provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances at each interim period.

The decreaseincrease in the estimated effective tax rate for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was primarily due to the decrease in theunrealized losses on various Company investments for which a valuation allowance associated with various investments the Company holds.is recorded.

Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether a loss is reasonably estimable. In addition, in the event the Company determines that a loss is not probable, but is reasonably possible, and it becomes possible to develop what the Company believes to be a reasonable range of possible loss, then the Company will include disclosures related to such matter as appropriate and in compliance with ASC 450, Loss ContingenciesContingencies.. The disclosures, accruals or estimates, if any, resulting from the foregoing analysis are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter.

However, in the event of unexpected subsequent developments and given the
inherent unpredictability of these legal and regulatory matters, the Company can provide no assurance that its assessment of any claim, dispute, regulatory examination or investigation or other legal matter will reflect the ultimate outcome, and an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.

17.15. Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries and investment products that are consolidated. Voting interest entities ("VOEs") are consolidated when the Company is considered to have a controlling financial interest, which is typically present when the Company owns a majority of the voting interest in an entity or otherwise has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity.
The Company evaluates any variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which the Company has a variable interest for consolidation. A VIE is an entity in which either: (a)either (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its own activities without additional financial support;support, or (b)(ii) where as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk do not possess: (i)possess (x) the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, (ii)performance; (y) the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive expected residual returns of the entityentity; or (iii)(z) proportionate voting and economic interests and where substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with disproportionately fewer voting rights. If an entity has any of these characteristics, it is considered a VIE and is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
In the normal course of its business, the Company sponsors various investment products, some of which are consolidated by the Company. Consolidated investment products includeCIP includes both VOEs, made up primarily of open-end funds in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest, and VIEs, which primarily consist of collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs")CLOs of which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The consolidation and deconsolidation of these investment products have no impact on net income (loss) attributable to stockholders. The Company’s risk with respect to these investment products is limited to its beneficial interests in
these products. The Company has no right to the benefits from, and does not bear the risks associated with, these investment products beyond the Company’s investments in, and fees generated from, these products.

Investments of CLOs
The CLOs' held investments of $1.9$2.1 billion at June 30, 2019 representedMarch 31, 2020 consisting of bank loan investments, which comprise the majority of the CLOs' portfolio asset collateral and are senior secured corporate loans across a variety of industries. These bank loan investments mature at various dates between 2020 and 20272028 and pay interest at LIBOR plus a spread of up to 8.75%9.00%. At June 30, 2019, the fair value of the senior bank loans exceeded the unpaid principal balance by $41.2 million.
Notes Payable of CLOs
The CLOs have issued notes payable with a total value, at par, of $2.0 billion, consisting of senior secured floating rate notes payable with a par value of $1.8 billion and subordinated notes with a par value of $173.0 million. These note obligations bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus a pre-defined spread. The principal amounts outstanding of the note obligations issued by the CLOs mature on dates ranging from October 2027 to April 2029. The CLOs may elect to reinvest any prepayments received on bank loan investments between October 2019April 2020 and October 2021,January 2025, depending on the CLO. Generally, subsequent prepayments received after the reinvestment period must be used to pay down the note obligations.

The secured notes of the consolidated CLOs have contractual recourse only to the related assets of the CLO and are classified as financial liabilities. Although these beneficial interests are eliminated upon consolidation, the application of the measurement alternative prescribed by ASU 2014-13, Consolidation (Topic 810) ("ASU 2014-13") results in the net assets of the consolidated CLOs shown above to be equivalent to the beneficial interests retained by the Company at June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, as shown in the table below:

The following is a discussion of the valuation methodologies used for the assets and liabilities of the Company’s consolidated investment productsCIP measured at fair value:
Cash equivalents represent investments in money market funds. Cash investments in actively traded money market funds are valued using published net asset values and are classified as Level 1.
Debt and equity investments represent the underlying debt, equity and other securities held in consolidated investment products.CIP. Equity investments are valued at the official closing price on the exchange on which the securities are traded and are generally categorized within Level 1. Level 2 investments represent most debt securities, including bank loans and certain
equity securities (including non-U.S. securities), for which closing prices are not readily available or are deemed to not reflect readily available market prices, and are valued using an independent pricing service. Debt investments are valued based on quotations received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. Bank loan investments, which are included as debt investments, are generally priced at the average mid-point of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third-party pricing service. Fair value may also be based upon valuations obtained from independent third-party brokers or dealers utilizing matrix pricing models that consider information regarding securities with similar characteristics. In certain instances, fair value has been determined utilizing discounted cash flow analyses or single broker non-binding quotes. Depending on the nature of the inputs, these assets are classified as Level 1, 2 or 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Level 3 investments include debt and equity securities that are not widely traded, are illiquid or are priced by dealers based on pricing models used by market makers in the security.
Derivative assets and liabilities represent futures contracts, swaps contracts, option contracts and forward contracts held in CIP. Derivative instruments in an asset position are classified as other assets of CIP in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivative instruments in a liability position are classified as liabilities of CIP within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in fair value of such derivatives is recorded in realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments of CIP, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Depending on the nature of the inputs, these derivative assets and liabilities are classified as Level 1, 2 or 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. In connection with entering into these derivative contracts, these CIP may be required to pledge an amount of cash equal to the appropriate “initial margin” requirements. The cash pledged or on deposit is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company as Cash pledged or on deposit of CIP. The fair value of such derivatives at March 31, 2020 was immaterial.
Notes payable represent notes issued by consolidated investment products that areCIP CLOs and are measured using the measurement alternative in ASU 2014-13. Accordingly, the fair value of CLO liabilities iswas measured as the fair value of CLO assets less the sum of: (a)of (i) the fair value of the beneficial interests held by the Company, and (b)(ii) the carrying value of any beneficial interests that represent compensation for services. The fair value of the beneficial interests held by the Company is based on third-party pricing information without adjustment.
Short sales are transactions in which a security is sold whichthat is not owned or is owned but there is no intention to deliver, in anticipation that the price of the security will decline. Short sales are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheetsCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within other liabilities of consolidated investment productsCIP and are classified as Level 1 based on the underlying equity security.
The securities purchase payable at June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 20182019 approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

Nonconsolidated VIEs
The Company serves as the collateral manager for other collateralized loan and collateralized bond obligations (collectively, "CDOs") that are not consolidated. The assets and liabilities of these CDOs reside in bankruptcy remote, special purpose entities in which the Company has no ownership of, nor holds any notes issued by, the CDOs, and provides neither recourse nor guarantees. The Company has determined that the investment management fees it receives for serving as collateral manager for these CDOs did not represent a variable interest as: (1)since (i) the fees the Company earns are compensation for services provided and are commensurate with the level of effort required to provide the investment management services; (2)services, (ii) the Company does not hold other interests in the CDOs that individually, or in the aggregate, would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the CDOsCDOs' expected losses or receive more than an insignificant amount of the CDOsCDOs' expected residual return;return, and (3)(iii) the investment management arrangement only includes terms, conditions and amounts that are customarily present in arrangements for similar services negotiated at arm's length.
The Company has interests in certain other entities that are VIEs that the Company does not consolidate as it is not the primary beneficiary of those entities. The Company is not the primary beneficiary as its interest in these entities does not provide the Company with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities' economic performance.
At June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the carrying value and maximum risk of loss related to the Company's interest in these VIEs was $13.1$15.2 million.

Recent Market Developments
During the first quarter of 2020, the novel coronavirus global pandemic ("COVID-19") significantly impacted the global economy and financial markets, creating uncertainty, market volatility and dislocation with the S&P 500 and MSCI World indices experiencing declines in the first quarter of 2020 of 20% and 21%, respectively. In an effort to contain COVID-19 in the U.S., or slow its spread, the federal government and nearly every state enacted varying degrees of social containment measures, restricting business and related activities, closing borders, and restricting travel. Governments around the world have responded to COVID-19 with economic stimulus measures. These measures are intended to support businesses, employees and consumers until economic activity and financial markets recover. The timing and magnitude of any such recovery, however, remains uncertain.
Impact of COVID-19 to our Business
As a result of the challenging capital, equity and credit markets that emerged late in the first quarter, our assets under management declined during this period. At the end of the first quarter, our long-term assets under management were $89.5 billion, a 16.9% decline compared to the previous quarter end, which we expect to negatively impact revenues in the near term. In addition, the fair market value of our seed capital and other investments have also declined. To the extent that financial markets continue to be challenged, we may experience further decreases in our assets under management and the fair market value of our seed capital and other investments.

The Company holds.has evaluated the current legislation and at this time, does not anticipate the CARES Act to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Consistent with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission that an assessment of internal controls over financial reporting of a recently acquired business may be omitted from management's evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, management is excluding an assessment of the internal controls of SGA, which was acquired by the Company on July 1, 2018, from its evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. SGA represented approximately 6.2% of the Company's consolidated total assets and 6.5% of the Company's consolidated total revenues as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Legal Matters
The Company is regularly involved from time to time in litigation and arbitration, as well as examinations, inquiries and investigations by various regulatory bodies, including the SEC, involving its compliance with, among other things, securities laws, client investment guidelines, laws governing the activities of broker-dealers and other laws and regulations affecting its products and other activities. Legal and regulatory matters of this nature involve or may involve but are not limited to the Company’s activities as an employer, issuer of securities, investor, investment adviser, broker-dealer or taxpayer. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company discusses matters with its regulators raised during regulatory examinations or is otherwise subject to their inquiry. These matters could result in censures, fines, penalties or other sanctions.
The Company accrues for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether a loss is reasonably estimable. In addition, in the event the Company determines that a loss is not probable, but is reasonably possible, and it becomes possible to develop what the Company believes to be a reasonable range of possible loss, then the Company will include disclosures related to such matter as appropriate and in compliance with ASC 450, Loss Contingencies. The disclosures, accruals or estimates, if any, resulting from the foregoing analysis are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. Based on information currently available, available insurance coverage, indemnities and established reserves, the Company believes that the outcomes of its legal and regulatory proceedings are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or its consolidated financial condition. However, in the event of unexpected subsequent developments and given the inherent unpredictability of these legal and regulatory matters, the Company can provide no assurance that its assessment of any claim, dispute, regulatory examination or investigation or other legal matter will reflect the ultimate outcome, and an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The reader should carefully consider, in connection with the other information in this report,There have been no significant changes to the Company’s risk factors from those previously reported in our 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K, other than as noted below.
The ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated global economic disruption and uncertainty have affected, and may further affect, our business, results of operations and financial condition.
As previously indicated in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, our results of operations are affected by certain economic factors, including the condition of the securities markets. The global financial markets, including the capital, equity and credit markets, have been challenged in reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic and its related economic impact. As a result of the ongoing difficult market and economic conditions, our assets under management declined 17% during the first quarter of 2020, which we expect to negatively impact revenues in the near term. The broader implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations and overall financial performance remain uncertain and, to the extent the financial markets continue to experience challenges, we may experience further declines in our assets under management, which will adversely affect our revenues and earnings, and the fair value of our seed capital and other investments. Although we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to effectively continue operations for the foreseeable future, continued deterioration of worldwide credit and financial markets may limit our ability to raise capital and financing may not be available to us in sufficient amounts, on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to access sufficient capital on acceptable terms, our business could be adversely impacted.
In an effort to protect the health and safety of our employees, we implemented various measures to reduce the impact of COVID-19 across our organization, while also maintaining business continuity. Consistent with government guidelines and mandates, these initiatives included the adoption of social distancing policies, work-at-home arrangements, and suspending employee travel. Currently, nearly all of our employees are working remotely from home in an effort to reduce the spread of the virus and maintain the health and safety of our employees. While our work from home efforts have been successful to date, operating remotely for an extended period could result in operational challenges, strain our technology resources and/or expose us to an increased number of cybersecurity threats. A decline in the health and safety of our employees, including key employees, or material disruptions to their ability to work remotely, including power or Internet outages or electronic systems
failures, could negatively affect our ability to operate our business normally and have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
Additionally, many of the key service providers and vendors upon which we rely also have transitioned to remote work environments pursuant to business continuity plans. While, to date, the effects of COVID-19 have not had a material negative impact on the services they provide to us, or, we believe, their business operations or service levels, to the extent that the COVID-19 virus continues to spread and affect the employee base or operations of our service providers, disruptions in or the inability to provide services to us could negatively impact our business operations.
Please see additional discussion in Part I, Item 2. “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
