The Company has a great history, an enduring brand, and a dedicated and talented team of employees. We are committed to providing unique and thrilling experiences that create lifelong memories for our guests. Recently, the Company has encountered challenges. Core revenue growth has slowed while labor costs have accelerated, and our international licensing projects have not delivered as expected. We will ensure we have the best leadership team with the right skills, critical experiences, and differentiated organizational capability aimed at delivering superior results. We will hold ourselves accountable for following through on our commitments. We see an opportunity to reaccelerate profitable growth in our core park business, but this will require investments in infrastructure and technology to improve the parks’ appearance, culinary, productivity, and supply chain. Our business transformation will require us to invest in the end-to-end guest experience. Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic we temporarily closed our parks beginning in mid-March. This has caused us to delay these investments and scale back spending of expenses and capital until business operations begin to normalize. Rest assured, however, that we are positioning ourselves so that we are ready to aggressively resume our business transformation plans as soon as prudently possible. On behalf of the directors, officers, and employees of Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, I would like to express our appreciation for your continued investment and support.
