Procter & Gamble Co. on Monday added a set of risk factors that incorporate effects of health concerns as the coronavirus pandemic has disrupted businesses.

The company said it could be hurt by the fear of exposure to or effects of a disease's spread, such as reduced travel or recommendations from governmental authorities to avoid large gatherings as a result of the pandemic.

"We must successfully manage the demand, supply, and operational challenges associated with the actual or perceived effects of a disease outbreak, including epidemics, pandemics, or similar widespread public health concerns," the company said.

The effects the company is taking into account include significant reductions in demand for its products, inability to meet customers' needs and achieve costs targets due to manufacturing and supply disruptions, failure of third parties to meet their obligations to the company and political conditions that could limit its operations.
