Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2023 Annual Report other than those listed in this section.
The risks described in our 2023 Annual Report and in our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
The amount and frequency of our share repurchases may fluctuate, and we cannot guarantee that we will purchase all of the shares under our share repurchase authorization, or that it will enhance long-term shareholder value. Share repurchases could also increase the volatility of the trading price of our ordinary shares and will diminish our cash reserves.
The amount, frequency, and execution of our share repurchases pursuant to our share repurchase authorization may fluctuate based on our operating results, cash flows, and priorities for the use of cash for other purposes. These other purposes include, but are not limited to, operational spending, capital spending, acquisitions, and repayment of long-term debt. Other factors, including changes in tax laws, could also impact our share repurchases. Although our Board of Directors has authorized share repurchases of up to $5 billion of our outstanding ordinary shares, the authorization does not obligate us to repurchase any ordinary shares.
We cannot guarantee that we will purchase all of the ordinary shares under our share repurchase authorization or that it will enhance long-term shareholder value. The repurchase authorization could affect the trading price of our ordinary share and increase volatility, and any announcement of a pause in, or termination of, this program may result in a decrease in the trading price of our ordinary share. In addition, this program is a use of cash, which may reduce the availability of cash for other business purposes, including investments, acquisitions, dividends, or repayment of indebtedness.
