Item 1A. Risk Factors
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The following risk factor supplements our risk factors described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and should be read in conjunction with other risk factors presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Trade policies, tariffs and related government actions may cause a decline in economic activity and have a material adverse impact on our business.
The U.S. government has recently indicated its intent to alter its approach to international trade policy and in some cases to renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements and treaties with foreign countries, and has made proposals and taken actions related thereto. For example, the United States government has imposed, and may in the future further increase, tariffs on certain foreign goods, including from China, such as steel and aluminum. Some foreign governments, including China, have instituted retaliatory tariffs on certain U.S. goods. Most recently, the United States has imposed or sought to impose significant increases to tariffs on goods imported into the United States, including from China, Canada and Mexico. Tariffs on imported goods imposed by the United States or by foreign countries could further increase costs, decrease margins, reduce the competitiveness of products and services offered by our current and future tenants and adversely affect the revenues and profitability of our tenants whose businesses rely on goods imported from such impacted jurisdictions or exported to foreign countries.
In addition, there is uncertainty as to further actions that may be taken by the United States and by foreign countries with respect to trade policy and tariffs. Further governmental actions related to the imposition of tariffs or other trade barriers or changes to international trade agreements or policies, could further increase costs, decrease margins, reduce the competitiveness of products and services offered by our current and future tenants and adversely affect the revenues and profitability of companies whose businesses rely on goods imported from outside of the United States or exported to foreign countries. Any of these impacts could depress economic activity, including consumption, and have a material adverse effect on the businesses of our current and future tenants as well as on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Except to the extent updated above or to the extent additional factual information disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates to such risk factors (including, without limitation, the matters discussed in Part I, “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”), there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
