Item 1A. Risk Factors
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following information supplements our risks and uncertainties disclosed under "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of Part 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that are currently not believed to be significant to our business may also affect our actual results and could harm our business, financial conditions and results of operations. If any additional risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
We may not be able to complete future acquisitions or joint venture transactions or successfully integrate them into our business, which could adversely affect our business or results of operations.
We recently announced the proposed acquisition of the agriculture assets and technologies of Trimble through the formation of a joint venture of which we will own 85%. Closing the transaction is dependent upon obtaining required regulatory approvals (primarily competition and antitrust approvals), obtaining the necessary financing, and fulfilling other closing conditions, all of which, at least in part, are not within our control. In addition, acquisitions and joint venture transactions involve many risks, including the difficulty of determining the appropriate valuation, the challenges attendant to integrating the operations, technologies, services and products of the acquired lines of businesses, reactions by customers to the transaction, particularly the rate at which Trimble’s largest OEM customer reduces purchases of Trimble equipment, and the rate of replacement by the joint venture of those sales, personnel turnover, and the diversion of management's attention from other business matters. In addition, we may be unable to achieve anticipated benefits from the transaction in the time frame that we anticipate, or at all. All of these risks, as well as the others that typically accompany a large transaction, could adversely affect our business or results of operations . See Note 2 - Acquisitions within our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
