Item 1A. Risk Factors
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
We desire to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Accordingly, in addition to the disclosure below, we incorporate by reference the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2024 10-K. See also “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above.
Tariffs on imported packaging materials could increase our costs and negatively affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
While our raw materials and products are produced in the U.S., we rely on certain packaging materials for our products that are sourced from U.S. and foreign suppliers. In March and April 2025, the Trump Administration announced a series of additional special tariffs, some of which have been temporarily paused. The additional special tariffs already in effect as of the date of this report are tariffs of 10% on most products from all countries worldwide. Although we believe we have alternative U.S. sources for our packaging materials, as a result of the increases in the U.S. tariffs, we may experience higher costs that we may not be able to pass on to consumers, which could result in the loss of customers, harm to our operating performance, and a negative impact on our profit margins. Additionally, the imposition of tariffs could disrupt our supply chain, result in delays or shortages of packaging materials, or require us to seek alternative suppliers at potentially higher costs. The increase or continued imposition of tariffs, potential trade restrictions between countries as a result of tariffs, and similar constraints could result in a material adverse effect on our business, operations, and financial condition.
