Q2 2019 Acorn International Inc Earnings Call

Acorn International Inc. , the Shanghai-based direct-marketing and branding company, said it will suspend its dividend of 25 cents per U.S.-listed share indefinitely because of the business impact of the coronavirus outbreak. The company said the actions taken to curtail the spread of COVID-19 has limited the transportation of people and goods, which will have a "material impact" on Acorn's business this year. While the company said that its online business has increased given its customers' preference to shop from home, but the company is concerned that the supply disruptions could lead to delivery challenges. "There has been disruption to our production capacity and our ability to deliver to customers in parts of China. There is also uncertainty about whether our ability to import raw material for our Acorn Fresh business will be affected materially," said Chief Executive Jacob Fisch. "Finally, while we are adapting to work-from-home and flexible working arrangements, we have historically operated within a traditional office environment in Shanghai." The stock, which is still inactive in premarket trading, has tumbled 28.4% over the past three months while the S&P 500 has slipped 5.1%.
