UTICA, N.Y. — ConMed Corp. (NYSE: CNMD) on Tuesday reduced the first-quarter revenue expectations for its global business, based on the current status of the spread of the coronavirus.
The firm now expects organic constant currency revenue growth for the first quarter of 2020 to range between 2 percent and 4 percent. That’s compared to the previous range of 5 to 6 percent that management discussed during its fourth quarter and full-year 2019 earnings conference call.
ConMed noted it does expect a “favorable” adjustment in the anticipated first quarter 2020 effective tax rate to help offset the financial impact of COVID-19, the formal name of the coronavirus.
