MCCORMICK & CO INC 10-Q

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS There are no material pending legal proceedings in which we or our subsidiaries is a party or in which any of our or their property is the subject. ITEM 1.A RISK FACTORS There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024, except as follows. Trade policies of the U.S. presidential administration, including tariffs, and potential related actions by other countries, may impact our financial condition or results of operations. Recently, the U.S. presidential administration announced significant tariffs on imports from certain countries, including Canada, Mexico, and China, which may cause inflationary pressures and higher costs on certain raw materials and imports from these regions. If maintained, the announced tariffs, as well as related measures that could be taken by other countries and the potential escalation of trade disputes, could pose a risk to our business and results of operations. The extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and on our business are uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand for our products in affected markets. Our attempts to potentially offset these pressures through increases in the selling prices of some of our products may not be successful and may result in reductions in sales volume. To the extent that price increases are not sufficient to offset increased costs, and/or if they result in significant decreases in sales volume, our business, financial condition, or operating results may be adversely affected.
