Item 1A. Risk Factors
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Except as set forth below, as of the date of this filing, TETRA and its operations continue to be subject to the risk factors previously disclosed in the “Risk Factors” sections contained in our 2024 Annual Report .
Current geopolitical events and macroeconomic conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Demand for our services and products is particularly sensitive to the level of exploration, development, and production activity of, and the corresponding capital spending by, oil and natural gas companies. Furthermore, the industry may experience a potential shift of priorities driven by changes in the global economy, fluctuating commodity prices and evolving tariffs — all of which could impact upstream oil and gas investment and, in turn, affect demand for our products and services. The level of exploration, development, and production activity is directly affected by oil and natural gas prices, which historically have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile. Geopolitical events and macroeconomic conditions have contributed to oil and natural gas price volatility and are likely to continue to do so in the future. We are monitoring the military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Iran, as well as the related export controls and financial and economic sanctions imposed on certain industry sectors and parties involved in such conflicts. We are also monitoring the impact on the Strait of Hormuz as a result of the unrest in the Middle East. If Iran were to close the Strait of Hormuz, we would experience potential shipment delays, cost increases, among others, which could adversely affect our business. The broader consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and unrest in the Middle East, which may include further sanctions, embargoes, supply chain disruptions, regional instability and geopolitical shifts, may have adverse effects on global macroeconomic conditions, increase volatility in the price and demand for oil and natural gas, increase exposure to cyberattacks, cause disruptions in global supply chains, increase foreign currency fluctuations, cause constraints or disruption in the capital markets and limit sources of liquidity. We cannot predict the extent of the conflict’s effect on our business and results of operations as well as on the global economy and energy markets.
