Item 1A. Risk Factors
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. RISK FACTORS” in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, each of which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or operating results. These described risks are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
Tariffs and trade restrictions, including Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum, have adversely impacted and may continue to adversely impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
The Company is subject to significant tariffs and trade restrictions imposed by the United States on foreign imports, including on specific commodities used in our operations, such as steel, aluminum, and copper, as well as retaliatory measures by impacted foreign countries. In 2025, the U.S. government increased tariffs on imported steel and aluminum from 25% to 50% under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act (“Section 232”). The Section 232 tariff increase has resulted in material, upward pressure on certain purchased components and raw material costs, particularly with respect to Repair products imported to the U.S. that are produced by our Krausz business. While we have taken, and intend to continue to take, actions to mitigate these cost increases, including pricing actions and supplier diversification, there can be no assurance that such measures will be sufficient to offset the impact of current or future tariffs on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. If further tariffs are imposed on a broader range of imports, or if further retaliatory trade measures are taken by China or other countries in response to additional tariffs, we may be required to raise our prices or incur additional expenses, which may result in the loss of customers and harm our operating performance, sales and earnings.
