Today, U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) Director Hugh Nathanial Halpern reported the agencyâs FY 2020 financial results. Overall, the agency lost $14.3 million on $[915.9] million in revenue. For the 24th consecutive year, GPO earned an unmodified, or clean, opinion, on its audited financial statements for FY 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic affected GPO and its customers alike. Early in the pandemic, production operations slowed to ensure support for the critical needs of Congress and GPO began the work of reimagining its other operations to ensure the safety of our teammates. Early in the summer, GPO successfully implemented GPOSAFE, a plan to safely return to work during the pandemic, including symptom screening at all entry points (including temperature monitoring), requirements for PPE, and social distancing measures in production, office, and common areas. As another key element of GPOSAFE, the agencyâs manufacturing operations began operating at 50 percent capacity and implemented split shifts for essential teammates, leading to lower production levels. GPOâs production changes, combined with lower demand from its customers across all three branches of government, contributed to GPOâs lower results in FY 2020.
