Item 1A. Risk Factors
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Company is subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to our risk factors since the Company’s 2024 Annual Report, except as described below. Investors should consider all of the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and the related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in evaluating our business and prospects. If any of the risks described herein occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected. Additional risks and uncertainties, including risks not currently known or that are currently deemed immaterial may also adversely affect our business financial conditions or results of operations.

Significant tariffs and other trade measures, including recently announced U.S. tariffs on aluminum and steel, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
New tariffs and other restrictive trade measures could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows. On February 10, 2025, the President of the United States issued an executive order raising the U.S. tariff rate on aluminum and steel imports to 25% from 10% and eliminating numerous tariff exclusions. This order followed similar orders issued on February 1, 2025 imposing a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada. Rapid changes in trade policy can create uncertainty in our operations and business prospects. Such tariffs and any further legislation or actions taken by the U.S. government, such as the imposition of additional tariffs and trade barriers, as well as retaliatory protectionist measures taken by other governments, could increase the cost of our products, product component and raw materials, and adversely impact our business prospects as a result.
The new and substantial tariff increases on our supply chain into the U.S. announced thus far, should they be implemented and sustained for an extended period of time, could have a significant adverse effect, including financial, on our Company, our supply chain and the industry as a whole. The ultimate impact of these and other new tariffs are uncertain and will depend on various factors, including whether such tariffs are ultimately implemented, the timing and duration of implementation, and the amount, scope, and nature of the tariffs, and a number of secondary and tertiary effects.
We are continuing to assess the full implications of these and other tariffs for the global aluminum and steel markets and the impact they are likely to have on our business. Although we do not anticipate these tariffs to have a material impact on our operations due to our production being based primarily in the U.S., such tariffs might require us to reconsider or seek to renegotiate our commercial agreements with suppliers and customers, increase the prices of our products or alter the markets into which we procure our supplies. Any or all of these actions could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
