ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Changes in U.S. policy, including the imposition of or increases in tariffs, changes to existing trade agreements and any resulting changes in international trade relations, such as reciprocal tariffs or trade wars, particularly with regard to China, may have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, or financial condition. In April-May 2025, the global tariff landscape began to quickly change with the U.S. implementing new and/or increased tariffs on various foreign countries, either generally or with respect to certain products. Certain foreign countries, including China have, and may continue to, change their tariff policies in response to changes in the U.S. tariff policy. These recent tariffs and the subsequent retaliatory tariffs could increase the cost of goods for our products or reduce our ability to sell products globally, particularly in China, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. So far, these new tariffs and trade policies have not had a significant impact on our business operations and financial results, primarily due to our prior efforts to accumulate and maintain inventories at favorable cost levels. However, there is no guarantee that we can avoid the impact of tariff and related economic effects in the future, and these trade measures and retaliations may directly impact our business by increasing trade-related costs or affecting the demand for our products globally. Any further unfavorable government policies on international trade, such as capital controls or tariffs, may affect the demand for our products and services, impact the competitive position of our products. If any new tariffs, legislation and/or regulations are implemented, or if existing trade agreements are renegotiated or, in particular, if the U.S. government takes retaliatory trade actions due to the recent U.S.-China trade tension, such changes could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
