ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the information set forth in this Quarterly Report, the risks that are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Business and Properties,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” should be carefully considered, as such risks could materially affect the Company's business, financial condition or future results. There has been no material change in the Company's risk factors that were described in the Company’s Annual Report.
Potential new trade policies, such as tariffs, could adversely affect our operations, profitability and business.
There is currently significant uncertainty regarding the future relationship between the United States and various other countries arising from changes that may be implemented by the United States federal government, including with respect to trade policies, treaties, tariffs, taxes and other limitations on cross-border operations. Any actions taken by the United States’ federal government that restrict or could impact the economics of trade—including additional tariffs, trade barriers, and other similar measures—could have the potential to disrupt existing supply chains and trigger retaliatory efforts by other countries, including the imposition of tariffs, raising taxation, setting foreign exchange or capital controls, or establishing embargos, sanctions, or other import/export restrictions, thereby negatively impacting our business, both directly and indirectly. These developments, or the perception that more of them could occur, may create or increase business uncertainty and could materially adversely affect the global economy and stability of global financial markets, potentially reducing trade and depressing economic activity. Such changes in international trade policies may result in direct impacts to our business or indirectly to our customers or suppliers through increased costs, changes in business prospects or operating results, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition. The extent of such impacts cannot be predicted at this time.
