Canalyst is proud to announce our acquisition by Tegus. Learn more here.
In addition to the routine earnings prep checklist we send our clients, we included details about the COVID-19 reporting extensions announced by the SEC and CSA, and how Canalyst is adapting to the unpredictability of earnings reporting dates.

SEC: The Commission issued an order that, subject to certain conditions, provides public companies with a 45-day extension to file certain disclosure reports, including 10-Q filings, that would otherwise have been due between March 1 and July 1, 2020.

CSA: The blanket relief provides a 45-day extension for periodic filings normally required to be made by issuers, investment funds, registrants, certain regulated entities and designated rating organizations on or before June 1, 2020 and for certain other requirements outlined in the orders. Market participants need to comply with the conditions in the blanket relief to use the extension.

What this means for your 1Q20 earnings season

In a nutshell, the timing of releases may be unpredictable. Approximately half of the companies that we cover do not yet have a confirmed reporting date on their website. Canalyst will be keeping a close watch on developments. We will be reviewing these dates regularly, and making our best effort to deliver the timely earnings updates you’ve come to expect from us.
