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 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K , which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Other than as noted below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K:
Worldwide economic conditions could negatively impact our businesses.
Poor macroeconomic conditions could negatively impact our businesses by adversely affecting, among other things, our:
• Revenues;
• Margins;
• Profits;
• Cash flows;
• Customers’ orders, including order cancellation activity or delays on new or existing orders;
• Customers’ ability to access credit;
• Customers’ ability to pay amounts due to us; and
• Suppliers’ and distributors’ ability to perform and the availability and costs of materials and subcontracted services.
Our results of operations and prospects could be negatively impacted by downturns in economic conditions in relevant global and North American markets, including as a result of the imposition, or threat of imposition, of tariffs and other trade barriers, such as the significant tariffs announced by the U.S. government in 2025, and retaliatory tariffs announced in response thereto. In addition, economic instabilities resulting from geopolitical activities, including instabilities associated with armed conflicts, and the imposition of governmental sanctions in response thereto, and any conflict or threat of conflict that may affect any other nations, could negatively impact our results of operations and prospects.
