TORONTO, April 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CF Energy Corp., (TSX-V: CFY) (“CF Energy” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), an energy service provider in the People’s Republic of China (the ”PRC” or “China”) updates that, following the press release of January 27, 2020 regarding the outbreak and impact of the COVID-19 virus on the Group, the Group has experienced a significant drop in its business across all business segments in the first quarter of 2020 due to quarantine and travel restrictions in China. Such impact is expected to continue into the 2020 year. At this stage, it is premature for the Company to estimate the extent of the impact the virus may possibly have on business moving forward as it is dependent on the continuing containment status in China, speed of economic recovery and visitors returning to Sanya for holidays. The Company will keep stakeholders updated on the development.
“We are very fortunate that during the outbreak none of our employees were infected. The Company continues to make every effort in preventative measures. As a natural gas utility provider servicing the community, we have continued to provide natural gas to our customers during the outbreak,” said Ann Lin, Chair and CEO of CF Energy Corp. “Although it is difficult to project the full financial impact going forward, the management team will continue with the cost control initiatives and put various contingency measures in place to minimize the possible effect the COVID-19 virus may have on the bottom line.”About CF Energy Corp.
