CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, (i) the timing and conditions under which we may reopen any of our entertainment golf venues, (ii) the operation of our entertainment golf venues and traditional golf courses in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic following their reopening and the opening of new venues, (iii) our ability to remain competitive within the leisure and entertainment industry during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (iv) the adequacy of our cash flows from operations and available cash to meet our liquidity needs, including in the event of a prolonged reclosure of our venues, (v) our ability to modify the timing of certain contractual payments owed, (vi) our ability to obtain additional financing and (vii) the potential impact of COVID-19 on our results of operations. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “endeavor,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “overestimate,” “underestimate,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “forecast,” “predict,” “continue” or other similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe future plans and strategies, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other forward-looking information. Our ability to predict results or the actual outcome of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecasted results. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:

our ability to reopen and/or avoid future closures of our venues;
factors impacting attendance, such as local conditions, contagious diseases, including COVID-19, or the perceived threat of contagious diseases, disturbances, natural disasters, and terrorist activities;
regulations and guidance of federal, state and local governments and health officials regarding the response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including with respect to business operations, safety protocols and public gatherings;
our financial liquidity and ability to access capital;
the ability to retain and attract members and guests to our properties;
changes in global, national and local economic conditions, including, but not limited to, increases in unemployment levels, changes in consumer spending patterns, a prolonged economic slowdown and a downturn in the real estate market, particularly due to the COVID-19 pandemic;
effects of unusual weather patterns and extreme weather events, geographical concentrations with respect to our operations and seasonality of our business;
competition within the industries in which we operate or may pursue additional investments, including competition for sites for our Entertainment Golf venues;
material increases in our expenses, including, but not limited to, unanticipated labor issues, rent or costs with respect to our workforce, and costs of goods, utilities and supplies;
our inability to sell or exit certain properties, and unforeseen changes to our ability to develop, redevelop or renovate certain properties;
our ability to further invest in our business and implement our strategies;
difficulty monetizing our real estate debt investments;
liabilities with respect to inadequate insurance coverage, accidents or injuries on our properties, adverse litigation judgments or settlements, or membership deposits;
changes to and failure to comply with relevant regulations and legislation, including in order to maintain certain licenses and permits, and environmental regulations in connection with our operations;
inability to execute on our growth and development strategy by successfully developing, opening and operating new venues;
impacts of any failures of our information technology and cybersecurity systems;
the impact of any current or further legal proceedings and regulatory investigations and inquiries; and
other risks detailed from time to time, particularly under the heading “Risk Factors” in this report, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, in this report, and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. The factors noted above could cause our actual results to differ significantly from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s views only as of the date of this report. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
(dollars in tables in thousands, except share data)

1. ORGANIZATION
Drive Shack Inc., a Maryland corporation, was formed in 2002, and its common stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “DS.” Drive Shack Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is referenced herein as "Drive Shack Inc.", "the Company", "we", or "our". The Company owns and operates golf-related leisure and entertainment venues and courses focused on bringing people together through competitive socializing, by combining sports and entertainment with elevated food and beverage offerings.
The Company conducts its business through the following segments: (i) Entertainment Golf, (ii) Traditional Golf and (iii) corporate. For a further discussion of the reportable segments, see Note 4.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company's Entertainment Golf segment was comprised of four owned or leased entertainment golf venues across three states with locations in Orlando, Florida; West Palm Beach, Florida; Raleigh, North Carolina; and Richmond, Virginia.
The Company’s Traditional Golf segment is one of the largest operators of traditional golf properties in the United States. As of September 30, 2020, the Company owned, leased or managed 60 traditional golf properties across nine states.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

COVID-19 Update Following the temporary closure of all of our entertainment golf venues and substantially all of our traditional golf properties in March 2020 in response to the coronavirus ("COVID-19") global pandemic, three Drive Shack entertainment golf venues and all of our traditional golf properties were reopened by the end of the second quarter, subject to locally mandated capacity limitations and operational restrictions. As of the date of this report, our entertainment golf venue in Orlando, Florida remains closed. Restrictions on large group gatherings remain in effect in the majority of the jurisdictions we operate, which has resulted in the postponement or cancellation of the substantial majority of events, banquets, and other large group gatherings.

The extended length of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related government response has caused, and is continuing to cause prolonged periods of various operational restrictions and capacity limitations impacting our business operations. In addition, the duration and intensity of the pandemic may result in changes in customer behaviors or preferences. These may lead to increased asset recovery and valuation risks, such as impairment of long-lived and other assets. The extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts our business will depend on future developments, which remain highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including additional actions taken by various governmental bodies and private enterprises to contain COVID-19 or mitigate its impact, among others. The Company currently expects these developments to have a material adverse impact on its revenues, results of operations and cash flows in future periods.

Going Concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

As our operations remain subject to numerous locally mandated COVID-19 capacity limitations and operational restrictions. The loss of revenues and uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, as disclosed in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020.

In order to manage cash balances in the second quarter and continuing through the end of the third quarter, management reduced spending broadly, including furloughing employees, pausing construction on future planned venues to reduce capital spending, suspending declaration of dividends on our preferred stock, and deferring payment of certain operating and corporate expenditures, including rent payments.

On October 16, 2020, the Company completed the sale of its remaining held-for-sale Traditional Golf property for a sale price of $34.5 million and received net cash proceeds of approximately $33.6 million. Management determined that the combination of cash proceeds from the sale with other cost reduction and cash conservation measures provide the Company with sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations for at least twelve months from the date of this report. Accordingly, management believes that

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

its plans to improve the Company's liquidity position have been effectively implemented and the conditions that previously raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern have been mitigated.

Basis of Presentation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 6, 2020. Capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise defined, are defined in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

The Company’s significant accounting policies for these financial statements as of September 30, 2020 are summarized below and should be read in conjunction with the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Use of Estimates – Our estimates are based on information available to management at the time of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the result of historical analysis, our understanding and experience of the Company’s operations, our knowledge of the industry and market-participant data available to us. Actual results have historically been in line with management’s estimates and judgments used in applying each of the accounting policies and management periodically re-evaluates accounting estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from these estimates and materially impact our Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the Company does not expect our assessments and assumptions to materially change in the future.

Real Estate, Held-for-Sale Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, which meet certain criteria, are reclassified to real estate held-for-sale and measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company suspends depreciation and amortization for assets held-for-sale. Subsequent changes to the estimated fair value less costs to sell could impact the measurement of assets held-for-sale. Decreases below carrying value are recognized as an impairment loss and recorded in "(Gain) Loss on lease terminations and impairment" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. To the extent the fair value increases, any previously reported impairment is reversed to the extent of the impairment taken.

On March 7, 2018, the Company announced it was actively pursuing the sale of 26 owned Traditional Golf properties in order to generate capital for reinvestment in the Entertainment Golf business. As of September 30, 2020, the Company continued to present one traditional golf property as held-for-sale. On October 16, 2020, the Company completed the sale of that remaining held-for-sale Traditional Golf property for a sale price of $34.5 million and received net cash proceeds of approximately $33.6 million.

The real estate assets, held-for-sale, net are reported at a carrying value of $17.0 million and include $12.7 million of land, $4.0 million of buildings and improvements, $0.2 million of furniture, fixtures and equipment, and $0.2 million of other related assets as of September 30, 2020. The assets and associated liabilities are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Real estate assets, held-for-sale, net” and “Real estate liabilities, held-for-sale,” respectively.

Leasing Arrangements The Company evaluates at lease inception whether an arrangement is or contains a lease by providing the Company with the right to control an asset. Operating leases are accounted for on balance sheet with the Right of Use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities recognized in "Operating lease right-of-use assets," "Other current liabilities" and "Operating lease liabilities - noncurrent" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance lease ROU assets, current lease liabilities and noncurrent lease liabilities are recognized in "Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation," and "Obligations under finance leases" and "Credit facilities and obligations under finance leases - noncurrent" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

All lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the associated payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that the Company would pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments for a similar term and in a similar economic environment on a collateralized basis. ROU assets, for both operating and finance leases, are initially measured based on the lease liability, adjusted for initial direct costs, prepaid rent, and lease incentives received. Operating leases are subsequently amortized into lease cost on a straight-line basis. Depreciation of the finance lease ROU assets is subsequently calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the expected lease terms and recorded in "Depreciation and amortization" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In addition to the fixed minimum payments required under the lease arrangements, certain leases require variable lease payments, which are payment of the excess of various percentages of gross revenue or net operating income over the minimum rental payments as well as payment of taxes assessed against the leased property. The leases generally also require the payment for the cost of insurance and maintenance. Variable lease payments are recognized when the associated activity occurs and contingency is resolved.

The Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all lease contracts.

Other Investments The Company owns an approximately 22% economic interest in a limited liability company which owns preferred equity in a commercial real estate project. The Company accounts for this investment as an equity method investment. The Company evaluates its equity method investment for other-than-temporary impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable. The evaluation of recoverability is based on management’s assessment of the financial condition and near-term prospects of the commercial real estate project, the length of time and the extent to which the market value of the investment has been less than cost, availability and cost of financing, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating results. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its recoverability analyses may not be realized, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future. As the fair value inputs utilized are unobservable, the Company determined that the significant inputs used to value this real estate investment fall within Level 3 for fair value reporting.

The operations and ongoing construction at the commercial real estate project halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-March and the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $24.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The other-than-temporary impairment charge was recorded in "Other income (loss), net" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The property reopened to the public with additional entertainment venues and retail shops in October 2020 while following COVID related operational restrictions and capacity limitations, and implementing social distancing measures. However, the ability of the commercial real estate project to obtain additional funding to complete the construction and attain the financial results needed to recover any of our investment remains highly uncertain. The carrying value of the investment was zero and $24.0 million as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets The Company periodically reviews the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets, including real estate held-for-use and held-for-sale, as well as finite-lived intangible assets and right-of-use assets, to determine whether current events or circumstances indicate that such carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The assessment of recoverability is based on management’s estimates by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows generated by the underlying asset, or other appropriate grouping of assets, to its carrying value to determine whether an impairment existed at its lowest level of identifiable cash flows. If the carrying amount is greater than the expected undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired and an impairment is recognized to the extent the carrying value of such asset exceeds its fair value. The Company generally measures fair value by considering sale prices for similar assets or by discounting estimated future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate.

Membership Deposit Liabilities - Private country club members in our Traditional Golf business generally pay an advance initiation fee deposit upon their acceptance as a member to the respective country club. Initiation fee deposits are refundable 30 years after the date of acceptance as a member. The difference between the initiation fee deposit paid by the member and the present value of the refund obligation is deferred and recognized into Golf operations revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the expected life of an active membership, which is estimated to be seven years. The present value of the refund obligation is recorded as a membership deposit liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and accretes over a 30-year nonrefundable term using the effective interest method. This accretion is recorded as interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The standard removes certain exceptions for investments, intraperiod allocations and interim tax calculations and adds guidance to reduce complexity in accounting for income taxes. The effective date of the standard will be for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The various amendments in the standard are applied on a retrospective basis, modified retrospective basis and prospective basis, depending on the amendment. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. REVENUES

The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time which is at the time of sale to customers at the Company’s Entertainment Golf venues and Traditional Golf properties, including green fees, cart rentals, bay play, events and sales of food, beverages and merchandise. Revenue from membership dues is recognized in the month earned. Membership dues received in advance are included in deferred revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the appropriate period, which is generally twelve months or less for private club members and the following month for The Players Club members.

The Company’s revenues are generated within the Entertainment Golf and Traditional Golf segments. The following tables disaggregate revenue by category: entertainment golf venues, public and private golf properties (owned and leased) and managed golf properties.

6. LEASES
The Company's commitments under lease arrangements are primarily ground leases for Entertainment Golf venues and Traditional Golf properties and related facilities, office leases and leases for golf carts and equipment. The majority of lease terms for our Entertainment Golf venues and Traditional Golf properties and related facilities initially range from 10 to 20 years, and include up to eight 5-year renewal options (see Note 13 for additional detail). Equipment and golf cart leases initially range between 24 to 66 months and typically contain renewal options which may be on a month-to-month basis. An option to renew a lease is included in the determination of the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that the renewal option will be exercised.
Lease related costs recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, and September 30, 2019, are as follows:

10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value Summary Table

The following table summarizes the carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2020: 
Carrying ValueEstimated Fair ValueFair Value Method (A)
Assets   
Real estate securities, available-for-sale $3,027 $3,027 Pricing models - Level 3
Cash and cash equivalents13,314 13,314  
Restricted cash, current and noncurrent3,190 3,190  
Liabilities   
Junior subordinated notes payable51,185 8,200 Pricing models - Level 3

(A)Pricing models are used for (i) real estate securities that are not traded in an active market, and, therefore, have little or no price transparency, and for which significant unobservable inputs must be used in estimating fair value, or (ii) debt obligations which are private and untraded.

Fair Value Measurements

Valuation Hierarchy

The fair value of financial instruments is categorized based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique and categorized into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company follows this hierarchy for its financial instruments measured at fair value.

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
Level 2 - Valuations based principally on observable market parameters, including
quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets,
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, implied volatilities and credit spreads), and
market corroborated inputs (derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data).
Level 3 - Valuations determined using unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, and that are significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The Company’s real estate securities and debt obligations are currently not traded in active markets and therefore have little or no price transparency. As a result, the Company has estimated the fair value of these illiquid instruments based on internal pricing models subject to the Company’s controls described below.

The Company has various processes and controls in place to ensure that fair value measurements are reasonably estimated. With respect to broker and pricing service quotations, and in order to ensure these quotes represent a reasonable estimate of fair value, the Company’s quarterly procedures include a comparison of such quotations to quotations from different sources, outputs generated from its internal pricing models and transactions completed, as well as on its knowledge and experience of these markets. With respect to fair value estimates generated based on the Company’s internal pricing models, the Company’s management validates the inputs and outputs of the internal pricing models by comparing them to available independent third-party market parameters and models, where available, for reasonableness. The Company believes its valuation methods and the assumptions used are appropriate and consistent with other market participants.
Fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 are sensitive to changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to determine fair value and such changes could result in a significant increase or decrease in the fair value. For the Company’s investments in real estate securities categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the significant unobservable inputs include the discount rates, assumptions relating to prepayments, default rates and loss severities.

Significant Unobservable Inputs

The following table provides quantitative information regarding the significant unobservable inputs used by the Company for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020:
   Significant Inputs

Rate
Prepayment
Speed
Cumulative Default RateLoss
Severity
ABS - Non-Agency RMBS$1,639 $3,027 10.0 %8.0 %2.6 %70.0 %

All of the inputs used have some degree of market observability, based on the Company’s knowledge of the market, relationships with market participants, and use of common market data sources. Collateral prepayment, default and loss severity projections are in the form of “curves” or “vectors” that vary for each monthly collateral cash flow projection. Methods used to develop these projections vary by asset class but conform to industry conventions. The Company uses assumptions that generate its best estimate of future cash flows of each respective security.

Real estate securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs changed during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as follows:
 ABS - Non-Agency RMBS
Balance at December 31, 2019$3,052

Amortization included in interest income338 
Purchases, sales and repayments (A) 
Proceeds(41)
Balance at September 30, 2020$3,027 

(A)None of the gains (losses) recorded in earnings during the period are attributable to the change in unrealized gains (losses) relating to Level 3 assets still held at the reporting dates. There were no purchases or sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

12. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND AFFILIATED ENTITIES
Other Affiliated Entities
The Company incurred expenses for services of Ms. Khouri prior to execution of an employment agreement, which will be reimbursed to an affiliate of a member of the Board of Directors, subject to Board approval. The Company accrued $0.2 million in compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2019, and an additional $0.1 million during 2020. The amount remained unpaid as of September 30, 2020.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Legal Contingencies - The Company is and may become, from time to time, involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of business, including governmental and administrative investigations, inquiries and proceedings concerning employment, labor, environmental, personal injury and other claims. Although management is unable to predict with certainty the eventual outcome of any legal action, management believes the ultimate liability arising from such actions, individually and in the aggregate, which existed at September 30, 2020, will not materially affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flow. Given the inherent unpredictability of these types of proceedings, however, it is possible that future adverse outcomes could have a material effect on our financial results.

Commitments - As of September 30, 2020, the Company had future payments for additional operating leases that had not yet commenced of $12.2 million. The leases are expected to commence over the next 12 - 24 months with lease terms of approximately 10 years. These leases are primarily real estate leases for future Puttery venues and the recognition of these leases on our balance sheet generally occurs when the Company takes possession of the underlying property.

Preferred Dividends in Arrears - As of September 30, 2020, $3.7 million of dividends on the Company's cumulative preferred stock were unpaid and in arrears.

14. INCOME TAXES

The Company's income tax provision (benefit) for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company's annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period.
The Company's income tax provision was $0.5 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Company's income tax provision was $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in the income tax provision is primarily due to tax on excess inclusion income.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible.

The Company recorded a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2020 as management does not believe that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

The Company and its subsidiaries file U.S. federal and state income tax returns in various jurisdictions. Generally, the Company is no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2016.

At December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, the Company reported a total liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $1.2 million. The Company does not anticipate any significant increases or decreases to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months.

On March 27, 2020, as part of the business stimulus package in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. government enacted the CARES Act. The CARES Act established new tax provisions including, but not limited to: (1) five-year carryback of NOLs generated in 2018, 2019 and 2020, and a temporary suspension of certain other limitations on the use of NOLs; (2) accelerated refund of AMT credit carryforwards; and (3) retroactive changes to allow accelerated depreciation for certain depreciable property. The legislation does not have a material impact on the Company’s tax positions due to the lack of taxable income in the carryback periods and the fact the Company was already expecting to receive a cash benefit for the remaining

AMT credits in 2020. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company filed a claim to accelerate its refund of remaining AMT credit carryforwards. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had not received the refund.

15. (GAIN) LOSS ON LEASE TERMINATIONS AND IMPAIRMENT

The following table summarizes the amounts the Company recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations:

(Gain) loss on lease terminations$201 $ $(2,924)$

Other losses101 1,152 101 1,270 
Total (gain) loss on lease terminations and impairment$302 $1,872 $(2,031)$6,077 

Gain on lease terminations - During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a gain of $2.9 million on the termination of two traditional golf property leases. The gain primarily related to the derecognition of long-lived asset, intangible, and ROU asset and liability balances.

Held-for-Sale Impairment: During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized impairment losses and recorded accumulated impairment totaling approximately $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, on one and three traditional golf properties, respectively. The fair value measurements were based on expected selling prices, less costs to sell. The significant inputs used to value these real estate investments fall within Level 3 for fair value reporting.

Held-for-Use Impairment: During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling $0.8 million for one traditional golf property. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling $0.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively for one and two golf properties, respectively. The Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of these assets using the income approach based on future assumptions of cash flows. As the fair value inputs utilized are unobservable, the Company determined that the significant inputs used to value these properties fall within Level 3 for fair value reporting.

Other Losses: During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded losses of $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, primarily due to the Company's decision to discontinue the use of certain internally-developed software at our entertainment golf venues.

Drive Shack Inc. a Maryland corporation, was formed in 2002 and its common stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “DS.” The Company owns and operates golf-related leisure and entertainment venues focused on bringing people together through competitive socializing, combining sports and entertainment with elevated food and beverage offerings.

The Company conducts its business through an integrated portfolio spanning three brands, Drive Shack, American Golf, and Puttery. Drive Shack, which launched in 2018, owns and operates four entertainment golf venues featuring tech-enabled hitting bays with in-bay dining, full-service restaurants, bars, and event spaces. American Golf, the longest-running business in our portfolio, owns, operates, and manages 60 traditional golf properties spanning nine states throughout the U.S. Puttery, our newest competitive socializing and entertainment platform, is a small-store venue format featuring indoor tech-enabled putting with miniature golf courses, full-service restaurants, multiple bars, lounges, and VIP spaces. The Company expects to launch its first Puttery venue in 2021.

Operating Segments

Entertainment Golf | Drive Shack

Drive Shack offers sports and social entertainment through its golf-related leisure and large-format entertainment venues, with gaming and premier golf technology, a chef-inspired menu, and craft cocktails. Each venue features expansive, climate-controlled, suite style bays with lounge seating; augmented-reality golf games and virtual course play; a restaurant and multiple bars; an outdoor patio with lawn games; and arcade games.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company owned or leased four Drive Shack venues located in Orlando, Florida; West Palm Beach, Florida; Raleigh, North Carolina; and Richmond, Virginia. Additionally, the Company is committed to leases in New Orleans, Louisiana in 2021 and in Manhattan (Randall’s Island), New York for its entertainment golf venues.

Traditional Golf | American Golf
American Golf, acquired by the Company in December 2013, is one of the largest operators of golf properties in the United States. As an owner, lessee, and manager of golf courses and country clubs for over 45 years, we believe American Golf is one of the most experienced operators in the traditional golf industry. As of September 30, 2020, we owned, leased or managed 60 properties across nine states. American Golf is focused on delivering lasting experiences for our guests, with approximately 35,000 members and over 1.6 million rounds played at our owned and leased properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Our traditional golf operations are organized into three principal categories due to the nature of the revenue streams generated by the following properties: (1) public properties (leased and owned), (2) private properties (leased and owned) and (3) managed properties (public and private).
Public Properties.   Our 31 leased or owned public properties generate revenues principally through daily green fees, golf cart rentals and food, beverage and merchandise sales. Amenities at these properties generally include practice facilities, pro shops and food and beverage facilities.  In some locations, our public properties have larger clubhouses with extensive banquet facilities. In addition, The Players Club is a fee-based, monthly membership program offered at most of our public properties, with membership benefits ranging from daily range access and off-peak course access to the ability to participate in golf clinics.
26


Private Properties.   Our five leased or owned private properties, which are open to members and their guests, generate revenues principally through initiation fees, membership dues, food, beverage and merchandise sales, and guest fees. Amenities at these properties typically include practice facilities, full-service clubhouses with a pro shop, locker room facilities and multiple food and beverage outlets, including grills, restaurants and banquet facilities.
Managed Properties. Our 24 managed properties are operated by American Golf pursuant to management agreements with the owners of each property. We recognize revenue from each of these properties in an amount equal to a management fee and the reimbursements of certain operating costs.

New Venue Innovation and Development

The Company strives to forward innovate and revolutionize next generation experiences and in 2021, the Company intends to launch its newest competitive socializing and entertainment platform with a new small-store venue format called "Puttery."

Puttery is expected to expand our business by diversifying our experiential offerings with a modern spin on indoor mini golf through auto-scoring technology that presents digital scores to guests in real-time. Each location will feature a series of tech-enabled miniature golf courses anchored by bars and other social spaces that will serve to create engaging and fun experiences for our guests.

Puttery is designed for dense urban markets where a Drive Shack entertainment golf venue would not fit. The new small-store venue format expands store potential by hundreds of markets due to the vast availability of real estate, shorter development timelines, less capital risk and higher development yields.

The Company expects to open seven Puttery venues in 2021, with its first two venues in Dallas, Texas and Charlotte, North Carolina.

Notable Operational Results
COVID-19 has pushed us to reimagine the way we operate across critical aspects of our business. We remain focused on our core fundamentals, seeking opportunities to drive operational efficiencies and continuous improvement while providing an outstanding guest experience.

During the third quarter, our three reopened Drive Shack venues generated total revenue of $6.2 million, while operating under COVID-19 capacity limitations at our hitting bays and limited bar service. Our traditional golf properties generated revenue of $45.1 million, exclusive of management contract reimbursements of $15.2 million, while subject to various COVID-19 operational restrictions.

Golf continues to emerge as one of the top outdoor activities naturally conducive to social distancing practices. Our traditional golf properties produced strong results during the third quarter of 2020, highlighting the unwavering demand for traditional golf. However, restrictions on large gatherings remain in effect in the jurisdictions we operate, resulting in the postponement or cancellation of a substantial number of events, banquets and other large gatherings in our venues and courses, adversely impacting our third quarter sales of food and beverages.

COVID-19 Update

In response to the "COVID-19" global pandemic declared by the World Health Organization in March 2020, many states and localities in which we operate issued “stay at home” or “shelter in place” orders and other social distancing measures, in addition to mandatory store closures, capacity limitations and other restrictions affecting our operations. As a result, during March 2020, we temporarily closed all of our entertainment golf venues and substantially all of our traditional golf properties.

Subsequent to our closures, the gradual easing of restrictions has permitted us to safely and responsibly resume operations at both our entertainment golf venues and our traditional golf properties. Subject to locally mandated COVID-19 capacity and other limitations, three Drive Shack venues and all of our traditional golf properties were safely and responsibly reopened by the end of the second quarter. As of the date of this report, our entertainment golf venue in Orlando, Florida remains closed.

Our top priority remains protecting the health and safety of our employees and guests while continuing to provide a safe, fun and comfortable setting for our guests to socialize and engage in physical activities. Our entertainment golf venues and traditional golf properties are currently operating with restrictive and precautionary measures in place, including enhanced cleaning and sanitization protocols, capacity limitations in our suite style hitting bays (varying by location), social distancing
27


measures and certain restrictions on bar and dining services (also varying by location). As an additional protective measure, the Company installed new protective dividers in between the suite style hitting bays at its entertainment golf venues. Restrictions on large group gatherings remain in effect in the majority of the jurisdictions in which we operate, which has resulted in the postponement or cancellation of the substantial majority of events, banquets and other large gatherings. The Company continues to take necessary precautions and adhere to all local laws and mandates.

As government lockdown orders have eased, we believe many Americans have been eagerly seeking a return to a sense of normalcy, and craving activities and socialization that can be enjoyed safely. Golf has emerged as one of the top activities that meet these criteria and that can offer valuable physical and mental respite during these unprecedented times. This has been evident by the continued demand for tee times at our traditional golf properties since reopening, with utilization of tee time inventory up over the prior year. Engagement in golf has strengthened across an expanded base of participants ranging from the core golfers, to the lapsed golfers making their return, and families and new participants of all ages.

The Company provides two different avenues for our guests to get outdoors and safely engage in the sport of golf with our entertainment golf venues and traditional golf properties. The outdoor open-air layout of our entertainment golf venues, with defined suite style hitting bays (partitioned by new protective dividers), and the outdoor wide-open nature of our traditional golf courses provide the ideal setting for guests to connect with friends while enjoying physical activity and maintaining social distancing. Both offerings naturally limit guest overlap and, combined with enhanced safety protocols, provide a safe and comfortable setting for guests to socialize. We believe these factors to be key differentiators that will provide the Company with a competitive advantage within the leisure and entertainment industry through the COVID-19 environment.

While we have experienced strong demand for golf at both our traditional golf courses and entertainment golf venues, our total revenues, including food, beverage and event sales, have been negatively impacted by the continued restrictions on dining services and large group gatherings. We continue to seek opportunities to drive operational efficiencies and implement aggressive cost reduction and cash preservations measures to maintain and protect the financial health of the Company.

Given the continuing dynamic nature and fluidity of the pandemic, we cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future. However, we expect COVID-19 to continue to have a material adverse impact on our revenues, results of operations and cash flows in future periods. The extent of the ultimate impact will depend on the future developments that are uncertain and unpredictable, including the spread of COVID-19 and actions to contain or mitigate its impact, the timing of economic recovery, and consumer behaviors, preferences and discretionary spending, among others.

CARES Act

On March 27, 2020, Congress enacted the CARES Act to provide certain relief in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures. Among the various provisions in the CARES Act, the Company is utilizing the payroll tax deferrals offered as it continues to evaluate the applicability of other benefits. See Note 14 in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” for additional information.

Revenues from Golf Operations

Revenues from Golf Operations comprise principally: (1) daily green fees, golf cart rentals, and The Player's Club membership dues at American Golf’s public properties, (2) initiation fees, membership dues and guest fees at American Golf’s private properties, (3) management fees and reimbursed operating expenses at American Golf’s managed courses and (4) bay play at Drive Shack locations.

Given the discretionary nature of our products, trends in consumer spending will impact our revenue from Golf Operations on a quarter-by-quarter basis and, particularly in traditional golf as an outdoor activity, and seasonal weather patterns have a significant impact.

Total revenues

The increase in total entertainment golf revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was due to three additional venues operating in 2020, compared to the prior period.

Operating loss

The decrease in operating loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to increased revenues, due to three additional venues operating in 2020, decreased general and administrative expenses as result of payroll-related cost reductions, and decreased pre-opening expenses due to timing of venue openings, partially offset by increased operating expenses and increased depreciation expense due to three additional venues operating in 2020.

Total revenues

The decrease in total traditional golf revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to lower tournament and large group event-related revenues as result of continued operational restrictions adopted in response to COVID-19 as well as fewer leased and owned traditional golf properties in 2020.
The decrease in total traditional golf revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to the loss of revenues during temporary closures, lower tournament and large group event-related revenues as result of continued operational restrictions adopted in response to COVID-19 as well as fewer leased and owned traditional golf properties in 2020.

Operating income (loss)

The increase in operating income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to aggressive cost cutting measures, including payroll and payroll-related cost reductions that reduced total operating costs by more than the loss in revenues.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources and Uses of Capital
 
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash from operations and cash and cash equivalents on hand. As of September 30, 2020, we had $13.3 million of cash and cash equivalents. We previously generated capital through completing the sales of 24 of our 26 owned Traditional Golf properties through December 31, 2019. The proceeds generated by these transactions were reinvested in our Entertainment Golf business and used to pay overhead expenses.

In March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we temporarily closed all of our entertainment golf venues and substantially all of our traditional golf properties. Subject to locally mandated COVID-19 capacity limitations and operational restrictions, three Drive Shack venues and all of our traditional golf properties were safely and responsibly reopened by the end of the second quarter. The temporary suspension of business operations and continued operational restrictions and capacity limitations have had a material adverse impact on the Company's revenues, results of operations and cash flows and the Company previously disclosed that these conditions raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company continues to manage its cash balances with aggressive cost reduction and cash conservation measures implemented during the temporary venue closures, including employee furloughs, pausing construction on future planned venues to reduce capital spending, suspending declaration of dividends on our preferred stock, and deferring payment of certain operating and corporate expenditures. As our entertainment golf venues and traditional golf properties reopened, management focused on the core operational fundamentals of the business, seeking opportunities to drive long-term cost and operational efficiencies, including implementation of a revised operational labor model in our venues and streamlined corporate support structure.

On October 16, 2020, we completed the sale of our remaining Traditional Golf property that was classified as held-for-sale for gross proceeds of $34.5 million, resulting in net proceeds of $33.6 million in cash. The proceeds generated by this sale will be used for general corporate purposes and position the Company to advance its plans for growth in 2021.

As a result of the completed sales transaction and, combined with our cost reduction and cash conservation measures, we have enhanced our financial liquidity position. We believe that our current cash balances as of the date of this report, together with cash flows from our business operations following the reopening of our entertainment golf venues and traditional golf properties will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's obligations through twelve months from the issuance of the financial statements in this report. Accordingly, the Company concluded that the initial conditions which raised substantial doubt regarding the ability to continue as a going concern have been mitigated.

The Company’s strategic growth plan is capital intensive and our ability to execute is dependent upon many factors, including the current and future operating performance of our Entertainment Golf venues and Traditional Golf properties, our ability to obtain financing, the pace of expansion, real estate markets, site locations, and the nature of the arrangements negotiated with landlords, and the duration and ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

37


The Company continues to explore additional debt financing, public or private equity issuances, and additional ways to strategically monetize our remaining real estate securities and other investments. We continually monitor market conditions for these financing and capital opportunities and, at any given time, may enter into or pursue one or more of the transactions described above. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such additional funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If our assumptions about our liquidity prove to be incorrect, we could be subject to a shortfall in liquidity in the future, and this shortfall may occur rapidly and with little or no notice, which would limit our ability to address the shortfall on a timely basis.

Summary of Cash Flows

The following table and discussion summarize our key cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities:
Nine Months Ended September 30,
20202019
Net cash (used in) provided by:
Operating activities(2,301)(29,748)
Investing activities(9,681)(16,066)
Financing activities(3,478)(8,095)
Net Decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash, noncurrent(15,460)(53,909)

Operating Activities
Cash flows used in operating activities consist primarily of net losses adjusted for certain items including depreciation and amortization of assets, amortization of prepaid golf member dues, impairment losses, other gains and losses from the sale of assets, stock-based compensation expense, and the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $29.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Changes in operating cash flow activities are described below:

Operating cash flows increased by:
$10.7 million in our Traditional Golf operations, primarily due to reduced course payroll costs associated with the temporary closures during the COVID-19 pandemic, deferred payments of certain operating expenses, and increased demand for Traditional Golf following the reopening;
$11.4 million primarily due to reduced corporate payroll wages from lower headcounts and deferred payment of annual bonuses in 2020 that were earned in 2019;
$3.3 million in savings on general and administrative expenses primarily due to lower professional fee expenses; and
$2.0 million in operating cash flows primarily due to reopening of three Entertainment Golf venues.

Investing Activities

Cash flows provided by investing activities primarily relate to proceeds from the sales of traditional golf properties, and cash flows used in investing activities primarily consist of capital expenditures for the construction and development of Entertainment Golf venues and renovations of existing facilities. 

Investing activities used $9.7 million and $16.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to $50.9 million less in capital expenditures due to pausing construction on future planned venues, largely offset by a $44.5 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of traditional golf properties. The company sold eight traditional golf properties in the first nine months of 2019 and no traditional golf properties were sold in the first nine months of 2020.

Capital Expenditures. Our total capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were $9.6 million and $60.5 million, respectively.

We expect our capital expenditures over the next 12 months to range between $50 and $60 million, depending on the Company's ability to obtain additional financing, which includes developing new Drive Shack and Puttery venues and remodeling and maintaining existing facilities.
38



Financing Activities

Cash flows used in or provided by financing activities consist primarily of cash from the borrowing or repayment of debt obligations, deposits received on golf memberships, and the payment of preferred dividends.

Financing activities used $3.5 million and $8.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in preferred dividends and payment deferrals on the Company's finance lease obligations. On November 11, 2019, we declared a quarterly preferred dividend of $1.4 million which was paid on January 31, 2020. In order to preserve liquidity, our board of directors has not declared preferred or common stock dividends to date in 2020.

Debt Obligations
 
Our debt obligations consist primarily of our junior subordinated notes payable and finance lease obligations, as summarized in Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There have been no significant changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had all of the material contractual obligations referred to in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses.

Actual results could differ from these estimates and materially impact our Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. See Note 2 in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” for additional information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” for information about recent accounting pronouncements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, credit spreads, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. We substantially exited our real estate related debt positions, which significantly reduced our market risk exposure related to interest rate risk, credit spread risk and credit risk. We are also exposed to inflationary factors in our business.

There have been no material changes to our exposure to market risks as described in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a)Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company’s disclosure
39


controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and completely. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
The information required by this Item is incorporated by reference to Part I, Item 1, Note 15: Commitments and Contingencies-Legal Contingencies.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
The following risk factor should be read in conjunction with the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which are modified and updated by the risk factor set forth below.

The current COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted, and may continue to disrupt, our business, and may continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and results of operations.

Pandemics or disease outbreaks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have, and may continue to have, a negative impact on customer traffic at our entertainment golf and traditional golf venues, which makes it more difficult to staff our venues. We have experienced, or may experience, closures, difficulty in obtaining supplies and/or increases to commodity costs, potentially for prolonged periods of time. State and local governmental authorities have imposed various restrictions and other measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, which also have negatively impacted our business operations. State and local governments in the U.S. that previously removed or eased restrictions on certain businesses, including ours in during the second quarter of 2020, may reintroduce restrictions in the future, as the COVID-19 outbreak continues to be dynamic and expanding, and its ultimate scope, duration and effects remain uncertain. For example, we may be required to limit the hours in which we are permitted to serve food and beverages.

In addition, our operations have been further disrupted when employees or employees of our business partners are suspected of having COVID-19 or other illnesses since this has required us or our business partners to quarantine some or all such employees and close and disinfect our impacted restaurant facilities. If a significant percentage of our workforce or the workforce of our business partners are unable to work, including as result of illness or travel or government restrictions in connection with pandemics or disease outbreaks, our operations may be negatively impacted, potentially materially adversely affecting our business, liquidity, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, we are required by local and state regulations to report employees who have contacted or been exposed to the virus.

Furthermore, such viruses may be transmitted through human contact, and the risk of contracting viruses, or the perceived risk of infection or health risk, could continue to cause employees or guests to avoid gathering in public places, such as our venues, which adversely impacts our guest traffic and our ability to adequately staff venues. We have been adversely affected when government authorities have imposed and continue to impose restrictions on public gatherings, human interactions, operations of restaurants or mandatory closures, seek voluntary closures, restrict hours of operations or impose curfews, restrict the import or export of products or if suppliers issue mass recalls of products. Additional regulation or requirements with respect to the compensation of our employees could also have an adverse effect on our business. Additionally, different jurisdictions have seen varying levels of outbreaks or resurgences in outbreaks, and corresponding differences in government responses, which may make it difficult for us to plan or forecast an appropriate response.

The COVID-19 pandemic and mitigation measures have also had an adverse impact on global economic conditions, which have had an adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Our revenue and operating results may be affected by uncertain or changing economic and market conditions arising in connection with and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including prolonged periods of high unemployment, inflation, prolonged weak consumer demand, decreased consumer discretionary spending, political instability or other unforeseen changes. The significance of the operational and financial impact to us will depend on the duration and severity of disruptions caused by COVID-19, and the success of corresponding responses to contain the virus and treat those affected by it.
