FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT
In March, as the COVID-19 pandemic spread globally, HDI took immediate actions to protect itsemployees, operations and financial position:
Employees: The health and safety of our over 1,200 employees is our primary concern and wehave instituted a number of policies and procedures to ensure a safe work environment. Ouractions comply with, and in many cases exceed, those recommended by health authorities.
Operations: Our operations meet the definition of an essential business as we provide servicesthat are essential to the support and maintenance of critical infrastructure. As a result, wecontinued to operate, as do the majority of our suppliers and customers. Our distributionlocations are open for business and we continue to deliver products to customers.
Financial Position: We maintain a strong balance sheet which provides financial stability inuncertain times. We have no term debt and maintain revolver facilities with springing covenants,secured against high-quality working capital. Our balance sheet is characterized by $101.9million of liquidity, and as at March 31, 2020, was comprised of $59.8 million cash on hand andborrowing capacity of $42.1 million.

COVID-19 UPDATE
5
In Q1 2020 we achieved record sales and gross profit margin percentage. In April our daily organic sales pace was 23% lower thanin March as a result of the COVID-19 related reduction in economic activity and its impact on the pace of construction in ourmarkets. In May we saw increased activity across our distribution network as the pace of construction activity in many regionsincreased, and average daily organic sales were up 16% in May as compared to April.
In April we took a number of actions to reduce costs, and these measures assisted the Company in generating positive cash flowbefore changes in working capital in the months of April and May.
Consistent with our expectations, additional cash was also generated by reducing working capital in the months of April and May.The Company’s net debt position was reduced in the last two months, in line with our focus on generating cash.
The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s second quarter and full-year 2020 results is difficult to quantifyas it will depend on the duration of the contagion, the impact of government policies, and the pace of economic recovery. TheCompany remains confident that its business model, cash flow profile, and liquidity will be sufficient to address a varied range ofCOVID-19 scenarios that may occur in 2020.
