THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC INC.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On June 26, 2019, an overheated component in an HVAC unit set off a fire suppressant system at one of Thermo Fisher’s data centers. While there was no fire, deployment of the suppressant gas temporarily affected certain systems for procurement and fulfillment, leading to some customers experiencing delays in placing orders and receiving shipments.
Due to this situation, Thermo Fisher expects some second quarter orders to now be executed in the third quarter and will cover those details during its earnings call on July 24, 2019. The company does not expect any impact on its full year 2019 financial guidance.
The company is working diligently to resolve this matter, and many systems at the data center have been restored.
