Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are from time to time subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. For further discussion of our legal matters, see “Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Matters” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this report.
Item 1A. Ri sk Factors
Reference is made to Item 1A of our 2025 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026. Except as set forth below, there were no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Geopolitical conditions, including political turmoil and volatility, regional conflicts, terrorism and war have negatively affected and could negatively affect United States and foreign companies, the financial markets, the industries where we operate, our operations and our profitability and could increase the volatility of our stock price .
Geopolitical events, including political turmoil, regional conflicts, instability and terrorist attacks in the United States and elsewhere have in the past, and can in the future negatively affect our operations and could increase the volatility of our stock price. For example, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, including the military conflict between Iran and the United States, have impacted our financial results. These conflicts have had an effect on commodity prices and fertilizer supply, and there is no guarantee that such conflicts will not draw military intervention from other countries or further retaliation, which, in turn, could lead to a much larger conflict. Furthermore, such military conflicts and the resulting geopolitical instability have caused, and may continue to cause, (i) disruptions to international shipping routes (including through the Strait of Hormuz and other critical transit corridors), (ii) disruptions in global energy markets and significant fluctuations in the prices of oil, natural gas and fertilizer and (iii) substantial disruption to global financial markets, leading to heightened investor uncertainty, reduced risk tolerance and increased market volatility.
It is possible that production volumes, supply chain and trade routes for our products that are traded globally, and the markets we currently serve, could be further adversely affected, which, in turn, could materially, adversely affect our business operations and financial performance. In addition, the market prices of our common stock have recently experienced, and may continue to experience, volatility.
Further, like other companies with major industrial facilities, we may be targets of terrorist activities. Many of our plants and facilities store significant quantities of ammonia and other materials that can be dangerous if mishandled. Any damage to infrastructure facilities, such as electric generation, transmission and distribution facilities, or injury to employees, who could be direct targets or indirect casualties of an act of terrorism, may affect our operations. Any disruption of our ability to produce or distribute our products could result in a significant decrease in revenues and significant additional costs to replace, repair or insure our assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
