1.   BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
1.  BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
Laboratory Corporation of America® Holdings together with its subsidiaries (the Company) is a leading global life sciences company that is deeply integrated in guiding patient care, providing comprehensive clinical laboratory and end-to-end drug development services. The Company’s mission is to improve health and improve lives by delivering world-class diagnostic solutions, bringing innovative medicines to patients faster and using technology to provide better care. The Company serves a broad range of customers, including managed care organizations (MCOs), biopharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, governmental agencies, physicians and other healthcare providers (e.g., physician assistants and nurse practitioners, generally referred to herein as physicians), hospitals and health systems, employers, patients and consumers, contract research organizations (CROs), and independent clinical laboratories. The Company believes that it generated more revenue from laboratory testing than any other company in the world in 2018.
The Company reports its business in two segments, LabCorp Diagnostics (LCD) and Covance Drug Development (CDD). For further financial information about these segments, see Note 16 (BusinessBusiness Segment Information).Information to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. During the three months ended June 30, 2019,2020, LCD and CDD contributed approximately 61% and 39%, respectively, of revenues to the Company. During the six months ended June 30, 2019,2020, LCD and CDD contributed approximately 61%60% and 39%40%, respectively, of revenues to the Company.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries for which it exercises control. Long-term investments in affiliated companies in which the Company exercises significant influence, but which it does not control, are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which the Company does not exercise significant influence (generally, when the Company has an investment of less than 20.0%) and no representation on the investee's board of directors) are accounted for at fair value or at cost minus impairment adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer for those investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The Company does not have any significant variable interest entities or special purpose entities whose financial results are not included in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The financial statements of the Company's operating foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates prevailing during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income.”
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations, cash flows, and financial position have been made. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K (Annual Report). Therefore, these interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report.
Recently Adopted Guidance
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard that sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. The Company has elected to utilize the short-term lease exemption and not record leases with initial terms of 12 months or less on the balance sheet. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases and direct financing leases.
The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method. Comparative periods were not adjusted and are presented in accordance with lease guidance in effect for that period. The Company elected the package of practical expedients, which includes not reassessing whether existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease, reassessing the classification of existing leases, and reassessing whether previously capitalized initial direct costs qualify for

(dollars and shares in millions, except per share data)


capitalization under the new standard. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date, based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. A certain number of these leases contain rent escalation clauses either fixed or adjusted periodically for inflation or market rates that are factored into the Company's determination of lease payments. The Company also has variable lease payments that do not depend on a rate or index, for items such as volume purchase commitments, which are recorded as variable cost when incurred. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date to discount payments to the present value. Some operating leases contain renewal options, some of which also include options to early terminate the leases. The exercise of these options is at the Company's discretion. The Company determined that all renewal options within leases for main laboratories, STAT laboratories, branches or combination sites were reasonably possible to be exercised and therefore are included in the accounting lease term.
The standard had a material impact in the consolidated balance sheets, but no material impact in the consolidated income statements. The most significant impact was the recognition of right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while the accounting for finance leases remained unchanged.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about expected credit losses and other commitments to extend credit held by the reporting entity. The standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAPgenerally accepted accounting principles(GAAP) with one that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.

In March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. COVID-19 has had and continues to have an extensive impact on the global health and economic environment.

Use of Estimates
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic has and will impact the Company’s business and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors including, but not limited to: the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the extent to which it will impact worldwide macroeconomic conditions including interest rates, employment rates and health insurance coverage, the speed of the anticipated recovery, and governmental and business reactions to the pandemic. The Company assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 as of June 30, 2020 and through the date of this report. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to, the Company’s implicit price concessions and credit losses, equity investments, notes receivable and the carrying value of goodwill and other long-lived assets. The Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in additional material impacts to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

Contract costs
CDD incurs sales commissions in the process of obtaining contracts with customers, which are recoverable through the service fees in the contract. Sales commissions that are payable upon contract award are recognized as assets and amortized over the expected contract term, along with related payroll tax expense. The amortization of commission expense is based on the weighted average contract duration for all commissionable awards in the respective business in which the commission expense is paid, which approximates the period over which goods and services are transferred to the customer. The amortization period of sales commissions ranges from approximately 12 months1 to 57 months,5 years, depending on the business. For businesses that enter into primarily short-term contracts, the Company applies the practical expedient, which allows costs to obtain a contract to be expensed when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that would otherwise have been recognized is one year or less. Amortization of assets from sales commissions is included in selling, general, and administrative expense.
CDD incurs costs to fulfill contracts with customers, which are recoverable through the service fees in the contract. Contract fulfillment costs include software implementation costs and setup costs for certain endpoint and market access solutions. These costs are recognized as assets and amortized over the expected term of the contract to which the implementation relates, which is the period over which services are expected to be provided to the customer. This period typically ranges from 24-60 months.2 to 5 years. Amortization of deferred contract fulfillment costs is included in cost of goods sold.

Receivables, Unbilled Services and Unearned Revenue
The following table provides information about receivables, unbilled services, and unearned revenue (contract liabilities) from contracts with customers for the CDD segment. Unbilled services are comprised primarily of unbilled receivables, but also include contract assets. A contract asset is recorded when a right to payment has been earned for work performed, but billing and payment for that work is determined by certain contractual milestones, whereas unbilled receivables are billable upon the passage of time. While CDD attempts to negotiate terms that provide for billing and payment of services prior or in close proximity to the provision of services, this is not always possible and there are fluctuations in the level of unbilled services and unearned revenue from period to period. The following table provides information about receivables, unbilled services, and unearned revenue (contract liabilities) from contracts with customers for CDD.

Amortization of intangible assetsCompany assesses goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the three-month periods ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, was $60.2 and $58.5, respectively and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, was $117.3 and $120.8, respectively. Amortization expense for the net carrying amount of intangiblesuch assets is estimated tomay not be $119.1recoverable. Based upon the revised forecasted revenues and operating income following the declaration of the COVID-19 global pandemic, management concluded there was a triggering event and updated its annual 2019 goodwill impairment testing as of March 31, 2020, for its CDD reporting units, including one where the 2019 fair value exceeded carrying value by approximately 10%, and its LCD reporting units. Based on the quantitative impairment assessment, the Company concluded that the fair value was less than carrying value for two of its reporting units and recorded a goodwill impairment of $418.7 for the remainder of fiscal 2019, $232.0 in fiscal 2020, $225.2 in fiscal 2021, $219.3 in fiscal 2022, $215.6 in fiscal 2023CDD segment and $2,528.2 thereafter.

Leases have remaining lease termsmarket approaches to determine the fair value of the CDD reporting units. Based upon the results of the quantitative assessments, the Company concluded that the fair value was less than its carrying value for one of the CDD reporting units. A non-cash charge of $418.7 was recognized and included in goodwill and other asset impairments on the Consolidated Statement of Operations to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill for the CDD reporting unit to fair value. Following the impairment charge, the carrying value of goodwill for this reporting unit is $1,560.5. The other CDD reporting unit evaluated indicated a yearfair value that exceeded carrying value by less than 10%. Management notes that a 1% change in the discount rate in the March 31, 2020, analysis would reduce the headroom to 15 years, someapproximately 2.0%. Goodwill for this reporting unit as of June 30, 2020 is $628.5.
The Company utilized the income approach to determine the fair value of the LCD reporting units. Based upon the results of the quantitative assessments, the Company concluded the fair value of one of the reporting units was less than its carrying value. A non-cash charge of $3.7 was recognized and included in goodwill and other asset impairments on the Consolidated Statement of Operations to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill for this LCD reporting unit to zero. The other LCD reporting unit evaluated indicated a fair value that exceeded carrying value by less than 10.0%. Management notes that a 1% change in the discount rate in the March 31, 2020, analysis would cause the fair value to be less than carrying value and would result in an impairment of approximately $40.0. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles of Canadian licenses for this reporting unit as of June 30, 2020 were $84.4 and $459.7, respectively.

factors could reasonably be expected to unfavorably impact existing assumptions: primarily delays in new customer bookings and the related delay in revenue from new customers, increases in customer termination activity or increases in operating costs. In addition, given the ongoing and rapidly changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is significant uncertainty regarding the duration and severity of the pandemic as well as any future government restrictions, which may unfavorably impact existing assumptions. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for the purposes of the goodwill impairment analysis will prove to be accurate predictions of future performance. 
The Company will continue to monitor the financial performance of and assumptions for its reporting units. Management's impairment analysis utilizes significant judgments and assumptions related to the market comparable method analysis, such as selected market multiples, and those related to cash flow projections, such as revenue and terminal growth rates, projected operating margin, and the discount rate. A significant increase in the discount rate, decrease in the revenue and terminal growth rates, decreased operating margin, or substantial reductions in end markets and volume assumptions, could have a negative impact on the estimated fair value of the reporting units. A future impairment charge for goodwill or intangible assets could have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Some of these actions involve claims that are substantial in amount. These matters include, but are not limited to, intellectual property disputes; commercial and contract disputes; professional liability claims; employee-related matters; and inquiries, including subpoenas and other civil investigative demands, from governmental agencies, Medicare or Medicaid payers and MCOs reviewing billing practices or requesting comment on allegations of billing irregularities that are brought to their attention through billing audits or third parties.

The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all statutes, regulations, and other requirements applicable to its commercial laboratory operations and drug development support services. The healthcare diagnostics and drug development industries are, however, subject to extensive regulation, and the courts have not interpreted many of the applicable statutes and regulations. Therefore, the applicable statutes and regulations could be interpreted or applied by a prosecutorial, regulatory, or judicial authority in a manner that would adversely affect the Company. Potential sanctions for violation of these statutes and regulations include significant civil and criminal penalties, fines, the loss of various licenses, certificates and authorizations, additional liabilities from third-party claims, and/or exclusion from participation in government programs.
Many of the current claims and legal actions against the Company are in preliminary stages, and many of these cases seek an indeterminate amount of damages. The Company records an aggregate legal reserve, which is determined using calculations based on historical loss rates and assessment of trends experienced in settlements and defense costs. In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450 “Contingencies,” the Company establishes reserves for judicial, regulatory, and arbitration matters outside the aggregate legal reserve if and when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable and would exceed the aggregate legal reserve. When loss contingencies are not both probable and estimable, the Company does not establish separate reserves.
The Company is unable to estimate a range of reasonably probable loss for the proceedings described in more detail below in which damages either have not been specified or, in the Company's judgment, are unsupported and/or exaggerated and (i) the proceedings are in early stages; (ii) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (iii) there are significant factual issues to be resolved; and/or (iv) there are novel legal issues to be presented. For these proceedings, however, the Company does not believe, based on currently available information, that the outcomes will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, though the outcomes could be material to the Company's operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period.
As previously reported, the Company responded to an October 2007 subpoena from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Office of Inspector General's regional office in New York. On August 17, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York unsealed a False Claims Act lawsuit, United States of America ex rel. NPT Associates v. Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, which alleges that the Company offered UnitedHealthcare kickbacks in the form of discounts in return for Medicare business. The Plaintiff's Third Amended Complaint further alleges that the Company's billing practices violated the False Claims Acts of 14 states and the District of Columbia. The lawsuit seeks actual and treble damages and civil penalties for each alleged false claim, as well as recovery of costs, attorney's fees, and legal expenses.

Quest Diagnostics Incorporated, et al., filed in the State Court of Fulton County, Georgia. The lawsuit, filed by a competitor laboratory, alleges that the Company overcharged Georgia's Medicaid program. The State of Georgia filed a Notice of Declination on August 13, 2012, before the Company was served with the complaint. The case was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The lawsuit sought actual and treble damages and civil penalties for each alleged false claim, as well as recovery of costs, attorney's fees, and legal expenses. On March 14, 2014, the Company's Motion to Dismiss was granted. The Plaintiffs repled their complaint, and the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint. In May 2015, the Court dismissed the Plaintiffs' anti-kickback claim and remanded the remaining state law claims to the State Court of Fulton County. In July 2015, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss these remaining claims. The Plaintiffs filed an opposition to the Company's Motion to Dismiss in August 2015.

The Company has a noncontrolling interest put related to its Ontario subsidiary that has been classified as mezzanine equity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The noncontrolling interest put is valued at its contractually determined value, which approximates fair value.
The Company offers certain employees the opportunity to participate in an employee-funded deferred compensation plan (DCP). A participant's deferrals are allocated by the participant to one or more of 2216 measurement funds, which are indexed to externally managed funds. From time to time, to offset the cost of the growth in the participant's investment accounts, the Company purchases life insurance policies, with the Company named as beneficiary of the policies. Changes in the cash surrender value of thesethe life insurance policies are based upon earnings and changes in the value of the underlying investments, which are typically invested in a similar manner similar to the participants' allocations. Changes in the fair value of the DCP obligation are derived using quoted prices in active markets based on the market price per unit multiplied by the number of units. The cash

surrender value and the DCP obligations are classified within Level 2 because their inputs are derived principally from observable market data by correlation to the hypothetical investments.
The Company has contingent accrued earn-out businessContingent acquisition consideration liabilities whichare measured at fair value using Level 3 valuations. These contingent consideration liabilities were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and are remeasured quarterly based on the then assessed fair value and adjusted if necessary. The increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration payable can result from changes in anticipated revenue levels and changes in assumed discount periods and rates. As the fair value measure is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, they are categorized as Level 3.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, income taxes receivable, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair market value of the zero-coupon subordinated notes,Senior Notes, based on market pricing, was approximately $1.8$6,433.0 and $16.9 as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively. The fair market value of all of the senior notes, based on market pricing, was approximately $5,658.5 and $5,318.0 as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively. The fair market value of the floating rate secured note due 2022 received for the sale of CRP was $110.0$6,140.6 as of June 30, 2019. The effective interest rate on the floating rate secured note receivable was 7.79% as of June 30, 2019.2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company's note and debt instruments are classified as Level 2 instruments, as the fair market values of these instruments are determined using other observable inputs.

15.  BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

Embedded Derivatives Related to the Zero-Coupon Subordinated Notes
The Company’s zero-coupon subordinated notes contain the following two features that are considered to be embedded derivative instruments under authoritative guidance in connection with accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities:
1)The Company will pay contingent cash interest on the zero-coupon subordinated notes after September 11, 2006, if the average market price of the notes equals 120% or more of the sum of the issue price, accrued original issue discount and contingent additional principal, if any, for a specified measurement period.
2)Holders may surrender zero-coupon subordinated notes for conversion during any period in which the rating assigned to the zero-coupon subordinated notes by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services is BB- or lower.
The Company believes these embedded derivatives had no fair value at June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018. These embedded derivatives also had no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018.
Other Derivative Instruments
The Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward contracts, which are recognized as assets or liabilities at their fair value. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting and the changes in fair value are recorded directly to earnings. The contracts are short-term in nature and the fair value of these contracts is based on market prices for comparable contracts. The fair value of these contracts is not significant as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018.

The decrease in revenues was due to a 3.6% decline of organic revenue, 0.4% from the first halfdisposition of 2018.a business, and 0.1% from unfavorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by 2.6% from acquisitions. The 3.6% decline inof organic revenue was primarily due to the disposition of businesses of 1.9% and foreign currency translation of 0.8%pandemic, which reduced the Company's organic Base Business by 11.7%, partially offset by acquisitions of 1.0%8.1% from COVID-19 related business. Base Business includes the Company's business operations except for molecular and serology COVID-19 testing (COVID-19 Testing). The decline in the organic growth of 1.0% (whichBase Business includes the negative impact from PAMA of 1.0%)0.6%.
Effective January 1, 2019,In March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. COVID-19 has had and continues to have an extensive impact on the global health and economic environments. Given the continued unpredictability of the COVID-19 pandemic and the corresponding government restrictions and customer behavior, there are a wide-range of feasible financial results for 2020. While the Company's Base Business continues to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company's outlook has improved across the enterprise.
In LCD, demand for its Base Business continues to be below the Company's historical levels; however, the Company's Base Business has been steadily recovering from its trough in April, while at the same time COVID-19 Testing continues to grow. To date, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842 Leases using the effective date method.has performed more than 9.2 million molecular and 2.2 million antibody COVID-19 tests and has a current capacity of 180,000 molecular and 300,000 antibody tests per day. The Company electedcontinues to increase capacity across multiple platforms for its COVID-19 Testing subject to the packageavailability of practical expedients,equipment and testing supplies and key personnel.
In CDD, while the pandemic is expected to continue to negatively impact its business, this impact is expected to subside throughout the year as CDD continues to work on projects supporting global vaccine and treatment development, with additional support from COVID-19 Testing.
As a result of the impact of COVID-19, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded goodwill and other asset impairment charges of $437.4, $426.4 within CDD and $11.0 within LCD, all of which includes not reassessing whether existing contracts contain leases underwere recorded in the new definitionthree months ended March 31, 2020.

Envigo also completed the acquisition of the Covance Research Products (CRP) business, which was part of the CDD segment. The two companies will continue to collaborate through a multi-year, renewable supply agreement. The Company paid cash consideration of $601.0, received a floating rate secured note of $110.0, and recorded a loss on sale of CRP of $8.8. The Company funded the transaction through a new term loan facility.30, 2020).
The Company remains on trackinstituted numerous actions to deliver $150.0help mitigate the financial impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, which included furloughs, reduced hours, and the suspension of discretionary merit adjustments and 401(k) plan contributions in the United States (U.S.). In response to its improved outlook, the Company has been rapidly resuming regular work schedules and is proceeding with merit adjustments and will retroactively reinstate 401(k) plan contributions in the U.S.
In April 2020, the Company received cash payments of approximately $55.9 from the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund for provider relief (Relief Fund) that was appropriated by Congress to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). Upon receiving and satisfying the terms and conditions associated with the distributed funds, the Company accounted for the transaction by applying the guidance in ASC 450-30 Gain Contingencies, and recorded these funds in Other, net savings from CDD's three-year LaunchPad initiative bynon-operating income in the endConsolidated Statement of Operations as of June 30, 2020.
On July 30, the Company announced plans to create a program to offer total antibody testing at no charge through the patient’s doctor in support of increased blood plasma donations for use as a possible COVID-19 treatment. The Company expects phase II of LCD’s LaunchPad initiative to deliver approximately $200.0 in net savings overis working with public health authorities and the next

The Company referred patient balances to AMCA only when direct collection efforts were unsuccessful. The Company’s systems were not impacted by the AMCA Incident. Upon learningbusiness, results of the AMCA Incident, the Company promptly stopped sending new collection requests to AMCAoperations and stopped AMCA from continuing to work on any pending collection requests from the Company. AMCA informed the Company that it appeared that an unauthorized user had access to AMCA’s system between August 1, 2018 and March 30, 2019, and that AMCA could not rule out the possibility that personal information on AMCA’s system was at risk during that time period. Information on AMCA’s affected system from the Company may have included name, address, and balance informationfinancial position for the patientbalance of 2020 and person responsible for payment, alongbeyond. For more information regarding the risks associated with COVID-19 and its impact on the patient’s phone number, date of birth, referring physician, and date of service. The Company was later informed by AMCA that health insurance information may have been included for some individuals, and because some insurance carriers utilize the Social Security Number as a subscriber identification number, the Social Security Number for some individuals may also have been affected. No ordered tests, laboratory test results, or diagnostic information from the Company wereCompany’s business, see Risk Factors in the AMCA affected system. The Company notified individuals for whom it had a valid mailing address. For the individuals whose Social Security Number was affected, the notice included an offer to enroll in credit monitoring and identity protection services that will be provided free of charge for 24 months.Part II - Item 1A.
PAMA, which went into effect on January 1, 2018, resulted in a net reduction of revenue of approximately $70.0 in 2018 from all payers affected by the Clinical Lab Fee Schedule. A reduction of approximately $54.0 has been incurred through the first half of 2019. Unless further implementation of PAMA is delayed or changed, an additional reduction of approximately $61.0 is expected for 2019.

Credit Ratings
The Company’s investment grade debt ratings from Moody’s and from Standard and Poor’s (S&P) contribute to its ability to access capital markets.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant market rate or price changes. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange and interest rates, and the Company regularly evaluates its exposure to such changes. The Company addresses its exposure to market risks, principally the market risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, through a controlled program of risk management that includes, from time to time, the use of derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, and interest rate and cross currency swap agreements. Although, as set forth below, the Company’s zero-coupon subordinated notes contain features that are considered to be embedded derivative instruments, the Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Approximately 12.5%12.0% of the Company's revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019,2020, and approximately 15.3%12.5% of thosethe Company's revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company's financial


statements are reported in U.S. dollars and, accordingly, fluctuations in exchange rates will affect the translation of revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting the Company's consolidated financial results. In the firstsecond quarter of 20192020 and the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, the most significant currency exchange rate exposures were to the Canadian dollar, Swiss Franc, Euro and British Pound. Excluding the impacts from any outstanding or future hedging transactions, a hypothetical change of 10% in average exchange rates used to translate all foreign currencies to U.S. dollars would have impacted income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2019,2020 by approximately $2.2.$2.6. Gross accumulated currency translation adjustments recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity were $47.2$(80.5) and $(82.6)$47.2 at June 30, 2019,2020 and 2018,2019, respectively. The Company does not have significant operations in countries in which the economy is considered to be highly-inflationary.
The Company earns revenue from service contracts over a period of several months and, in some cases, over a period of several years. Accordingly, exchange rate fluctuations during this period may affect the Company's profitability with respect to such contracts. The Company is also subject to foreign currency transaction risk for fluctuations in exchange rates during the period of time between the consummation and cash settlement of transactions. The Company limits its foreign currency transaction risk through exchange rate fluctuation provisions stated in some of its contracts with customers, or it may hedge transaction risk with foreign currency forward contracts. At June 30, 2019,2020, the Company had 2738 open foreign exchange forward contracts relating to service contracts with various amounts maturing monthly through July 20192020 with a notional value totaling approximately $328.1.$612.5. At December 31, 2018,2019, the Company had 34 open foreign exchange forward contracts relating to service contracts with various amounts maturing monthly through January 20192020 with a notional value totaling approximately $487.9.$369.2.
The Company is party to six U.S. Dollar to Swiss Franc cross currencycross-currency swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $600.0, maturing in 2022 and 2025, as a hedge against the impact of foreign exchange movements on its net investment in a Swiss Franc functional currency subsidiary.
Interest Rates
Some of the Company's debt is subject to interest at variable rates. As a result, fluctuations in interest rates affect the business. The Company attempts to manage interest rate risk and overall borrowing costs through an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt including by the utilization of derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps.
38

INDEX

Borrowings under the Company's term loan credit facility and revolving credit facility are subject to variable interest rates, unless fixed through interest rate swaps or other agreements. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $277.0 of unhedged variable rate debt from the 2017 term loan credit facility, $850.0$375.0 and $375.0, respectively, of unhedged variable debt from the 2019 term loan credit facility and $35.0 outstanding on its revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $527.0 of unhedged variable rate debt from the 2017 term loan credit facility$0.0 and $0.0, respectively, outstanding on its revolving credit facility.
To hedge against changes in the fair value of a portion of the Company's long-term debt, the Company is party to twoa fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreementsagreement for a portion of the 4.625% senior notes due 2020 with an aggregate notional amount of $600.0$300.0 and variable interest rates based on one-month LIBOR plus 2.298%.
The Company’s zero-coupon subordinated notes contain the following two features that are considered to be embedded derivative instruments under authoritative guidance in connection with accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities:
1)The Company will pay contingent cash interest on the zero-coupon subordinated notes after September 11, 2006, if the average market price of the notes equals 120% or more of the sum of the issue price, accrued original issue discount and contingent additional principal, if any, for a specified measurement period.
2)Holders may surrender zero-coupon subordinated notes for conversion during any period in which the rating assigned to the zero-coupon subordinated notes by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services is BB- or lower.
Each quarter-point increase or decrease in the variable rate would result in the Company's interest expense changing by approximately $2.9$0.9 per year for the Company's unhedged variable rate debt.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2019.



2020.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
On June 3, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Envigo's nonclinical contract research services business. The Company’s management has extended its oversight and monitoring processes that support internal control over financial reporting to include the acquired Envigo operations. The Company’s management is continuing to integrate the acquired operations of Envigo's nonclinical contract research services business into the Company’s overall internal control over financial reporting process. However, management plans to exclude these operations from its annual assessment of internal controls over financial reporting for the year ending December 31, 2019.
There were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2019,2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

ThereThe risk factors set forth below revise and supplement the corresponding risk factors set forth in Part I - Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as amended. With the exception of the following, there have been no material changes in the risk factors that appear in Part I - Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.
The effects of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic have had and could continue to have material adverse impacts on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial position.
The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business. In the second half of March, daily volume for routine tests started to decline as a result of decreased consumer demand driven by a significant reduction in physician office visits, the cancellation of elective medical procedures, and the negative impacts on discretionary spending resulting from the economic downturn, among other factors. In addition, the performance of the Company’s drug development business was challenged by COVID-19 due to actions that clients have taken and are taking that slowed clinical trial progress and the associated testing as well as restrictions in trial site access in certain countries and interruptions in the supply chain. Given the continued unpredictability pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic and the corresponding government restrictions and customer behavior, the impact on the Company's business is not yet certain and depends on the number of evolving factors that the Company may not be able to predict or effectively respond to.
The further spread of COVID-19, and the Company’s initiatives to help limit the spread of the illness, will impact the Company’s ability to carry out its business as usual, which could materially adversely impact its business and financial condition. The Company has incurred additional costs for the safety of its employees and the continuity of its operations, including increased frequency of deep cleaning and sanitation at each of its physical locations, additional safety training and processes, enhanced hygiene practices and materials, flexible and remote working where possible, and allowing for greater social distancing for the Company’s employees who must work on-site. Additionally, the Company has made a number of changes at the Company’s patient service centers for the comfort and safety of the patients, many of which have also increased costs for the Company. For example, the Company has set aside the first business hour of every day for vulnerable patients, launched a mobile check-in process that allows patients to wait for their appointment from within their car or other nearby location, and increased sanitation and disinfection in check-in areas, waiting rooms, bathrooms, and hallways with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-approved disinfectants.
The Company faces increased cybersecurity risks due to the number of employees that are working remotely in regions impacted by stay-at-home orders. Increased levels of remote access create additional opportunities for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities, and employees may be more susceptible to phishing and social engineering attempts. The Company may also be subject to increased cyber-attacks, such as phishing attacks by threat actors using the attention placed on the pandemic as a method for targeting the Company's personnel. In addition, technological resources may be strained due to the number of remote users.
Adverse changes in government and third-party payer regulations, reimbursement, or coverage policies (or in the interpretation of current regulations) relating to COVID-19 testing could materially impact the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
The Company expects to continue to incur additional costs, which may be significant, as it continues to implement operational changes in response to this pandemic. Further, the COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted and could continue to disrupt the Company’s supply chain, including by impacting its ability to secure test collection supplies, equipment and testing supplies for its facilities, personal protective equipment for its employees in its testing locations, patient service centers, and drug development clinics. For similar reasons, the COVID-19 pandemic has also adversely impacted, and may continue to adversely impact, third parties that are critical to the Company’s business, including vendors, suppliers, and business partners. These developments, and others that are difficult or impossible to predict, could impact materially the Company’s business, financial results, cash flows, and financial position.
The Company has diverted resources to developing and enhancing the accessibility of COVID-19 testing, while at the same time taking certain steps with respect to its business strategy in order to increase cash flexibility. For example, the Company

temporarily suspended its share repurchase program, applied a heightened threshold to acquisition activity, delayed some of its capital expenditures, and temporarily suspended merit pay increases and 401(k) contributions for U.S. employees for 2020. In response to its improved outlook, the Company has been rapidly resuming regular work schedules and is proceeding with merit adjustments and will retroactively reinstate 401(k) plan contributions in the U.S. These measures, and any other measures the Company has taken and will continue to take to mitigate COVID-19, may be insufficient to ensure the financial stability of the Company, or may have other adverse impacts on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial position. Additionally, if the pandemic continues for an extended period of time, the Company may be forced to prioritize its application of resources to the continued mitigation of COVID-19, at the expense of other potentially profitable opportunities or initiatives, such as through the development of new products or selected business acquisitions.
If the Company does not respond appropriately to the COVID-19 pandemic, or if the Company’s customers do not perceive its response to be adequate, the Company could suffer damage to its reputation, which could adversely affect its business.
On March 11, 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic and containment and mitigation measures were recommended; six days prior to this characterization, the Company announced the availability of its LabCorp 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) NAA test, which detects the presence of the underlying virus that causes COVID-19, for use with patients who meet current guidance for evaluation of infection with COVID-19. On April 9, 2020, the Company announced an agreement to collaborate on a comprehensive U.S.-based COVID-19 patient data registry. The Company has performed more than 9.2 million molecular tests since making its first COVID-19 test available. The Company also launched a self-collection kit for its COVID-19 NAA test under an emergency use authorization from the FDA, as well as expanded availability of serology tests to detect antibodies to the virus that causes COVID-19. The Company has performed more than 2.2 million antibody tests as of July 30, 2020. The Company continues to increase capacity for COVID-19 molecular testing but the Company's testing capacity is dependent on access to multiple testing platforms and the availability of equipment and testing supplies and key personnel. Despite the Company's efforts to expand capacity and access to COVID-19 testing, the Company may not be successful in meeting expectations, and the Company’s customers and other stakeholders may perceive the Company’s responses to the pandemic as insufficient, inadequate or not equivalent to or better than competitors, including with respect to the availability of testing and the amount of time it takes for delivery of test results. Factors that may be out of the Company’s control, such as the availability of equipment, supplies, and key personnel and geographical changes in demand, may impact the Company’s ability to maintain testing capacity and timely delivery of test results and the Company's other responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, and may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations. Any such disruptions could result in negative publicity, and the Company could suffer damage to its reputation, which could adversely affect its business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial position.
The success of the Company is dependent in part on the efforts of its management team and employees, and the COVID-19 pandemic could divert or hinder the Company’s human capital resources, which may adversely affect the Company’s operations.
The Company’s management team and employees have been acutely focused on efforts to respond to and mitigate COVID-19, including developing the LabCorp 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) NAA test. Since that time, the Company has been continuously working to increase the number of tests that can be performed and improve the time for delivering test results. The Company’s management team is also working closely with federal and state authorities, health officials, and other key constituencies to make testing available to patients who meet the CDC criteria for who should be tested, and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) guidance for prioritization of testing. These response efforts have required, and will continue to require, a large investment of time and resources that would otherwise be focused on the development and growth of the Company. Further, the Company's ability to maintain and expand testing capacity depend upon maintaining and expanding its employee population. If the Company’s management team or employees become unavailable due to illness or from other related factors, its operations could be materially adversely affected.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption that could have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, including with respect to the Company’s ability to repay its senior notes due in the fourth quarter of 2020 and maintain its maximum leverage ratio covenant under its term loan facility and revolving credit facility.
While the Company believes that it maintains a solid financial position, including a strong balance sheet, investment grade ratings, and significant access to credit, the sweeping nature of the rapidly-evolving COVID-19 pandemic has created cascading effects, all of which are difficult to predict. As the pandemic continues to create disruptions or turmoil in the credit and financial markets, the Company’s ability to access capital on favorable terms and continue to meet its liquidity needs in the future could be adversely impacted. The Company may also experience greater than normal impact due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, decreased sales volumes, changes in employment rates and health insurance coverage, the speed of the anticipated recovery, the ability of its customers to pay for its services, and governmental and business reactions to the pandemic, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. The Company implemented several measures in order to

increase cash flexibility in light of these economic uncertainties, including temporarily suspending its share repurchase program, applying a heightened threshold to acquisition activity, delaying some of its capital expenditures, and suspending merit pay increases and U.S. employee 401(k) contributions for 2020. As the Company's business performance has improved, the Company will proceed with merit adjustments and will retroactively reinstate 401(k) contributions for 2020. These measures, and any other measures the Company may take to mitigate COVID-19, may be insufficient to ensure the financial stability of the Company, and may have other adverse impacts on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial position.
In May 2020, the Company and its lenders entered into amendments to the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility to increase the maximum leverage ratio covenant to 5.0x debt to last twelve months EBITDA for each of the three month periods ending June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2020 and 4.5x debt to last twelve months EBITDA for the three month period ending March 31, 2021. Violation of that covenant could preclude the Company from borrowing on the revolving credit facility and require repayment of its term loan of $375.0, if demanded by a majority of the Company's bank group. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with this modified covenant due to the uncertainties of the Company's financial performance as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. If the Company were not able to do so, any future covenant amendment or waiver that the Company may need or seek in the future may lead to increased costs, increased interest rates, additional restrictive covenants and other available lender protections. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain additional amendments or waivers in a timely manner, on acceptable terms, or at all.
During the fourth quarter of 2020, $412.2 of the Company's senior notes mature. The Company has elected to redeem these notes in the third quarter from available cash on hand and borrowings under its revolving credit facility. However, any failure to pay the senior notes prior to or at maturity, or a violation of its term loan and revolving credit facility leverage ratio covenants or other covenants, a failure to obtain any additional covenant amendments or waivers, or a failure to obtain alternative financing, if required, could result in a default, which would result in defaults under the Company’s other debt agreements and have material adverse consequences for the Company.
