−Removed: In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, as well as the following new risk factor which updates the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report:
−Removed: Changes in foreign trade policies and tariffs may adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
−Removed: Recent changes in U.S.
−Removed: and international trade policies, including the implementation of tariffs, retaliatory tariffs, and other trade barriers, have created significant uncertainty and volatility in the global markets.
−Removed: government has implemented substantial changes to trade policies, including increased tariffs on imports from various countries.
−Removed: These actions have affected and may continue to affect the cost of certain products we import into the U.S.
−Removed: They may also increase the risk of overall inflation, slower macro-economic activity, and they may temporarily delay or permanently stall when our customers decide to purchase our products.
−Removed: We are particularly vulnerable to these trade policy changes as we source our luxury vinyl tile (LVT) products from a third-party manufacturer in South Korea and manufacture all our rubber flooring in Germany.
−Removed: The import of these goods into the U.S.
−Removed: represents our primary exposure to recently implemented and potential future tariffs.
−Removed: Increased tariffs on these imports could significantly increase our cost of goods sold, potentially requiring us to raise prices, which could decrease customer demand for our products, or reduce our profit margins if we are unable to fully pass these increased costs to our customers.
−Removed: Various countries have announced or implemented retaliatory measures in response to U.S.
−Removed: trade actions, which could further complicate our international operations and supply chain.
−Removed: For example, the carpet tile we sell in Canada typically is manufactured at our plant in the U.S., and therefore may be subject to tariffs implemented by Canada on imports from the U.S.
−Removed: The current situation remains dynamic, and it is unknown if the U.S.
−Removed: and its trade partners will reach agreements to pause or eliminate currently enacted, pending, and threatened tariffs.
−Removed: These trade policy changes and resulting uncertainty may lead to:
−Removed: • Increased costs for our imported LVT and rubber flooring products
−Removed: • Supply chain disruptions or delays in product availability
−Removed: • Reduced demand for our products
−Removed: • Increased competitive and consumer demand pressures, particularly if we increase prices to offset higher costs
−Removed: • Competitive disadvantages if our competitors face different tariff structures
−Removed: • Currency exchange rate fluctuations that further impact our costs and margins
−Removed: While we are assessing options and taking actions to mitigate potential impacts, our ability to do so may be limited by operational and supply chain constraints, especially in the short term.
−Removed: The ultimate effect of these tariffs will depend on their magnitude, duration, how they affect consumer sentiment and behavior, how they affect the overall global macro environment, as well as which countries are implicated.
−Removed: These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
+Added: In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, as supplemented in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2025.
