Item 1A.Risk Factors.
Other than the amended and additional risk factors set forth below, there were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors of the Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2025. Any of the risks discussed in such report, as well as additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or prospects.
Tariffs and other trade restrictions may have an adverse impact on our business, operations and financial results.
We source materials from, and manufacture products in, foreign countries, including countries in Asia, and we also sell products in foreign countries. As a result, the price and availability of our products is susceptible to international trade risks and other international conditions. For example, any economic and political uncertainty caused by the tariffs imposed on goods from other countries by the current administration of the United States, and any corresponding tariffs or currency devaluations from other countries in response, may negatively impact demand and/or increase the cost for certain of our products. Furthermore, the imposition of additional tariffs, duties, border adjustment taxes or other trade restrictions by the United States could result in the adoption of additional or increased tariffs or other trade restrictions by other countries. Tariffs may in the future increase our cost of materials and may cause us to increase prices to our customers, which we believe may reduce demand for our products. Our price increases may not be sufficient to fully offset the impact of tariffs and may result in lowering our margin on products sold. In sum, if the United States Government increases or implements additional tariffs, or if additional tariffs or trade restrictions are implemented by other countries, the resulting trade barriers could have a significant adverse impact on our suppliers, our customers and on our business. The volatility and unpredictability of international trade policies and conditions add further complexity to our operations, making it challenging to forecast and plan effectively. We are not able to predict future trade policy of the United States or of any foreign countries in which we operate or purchase goods, or the terms of any trade agreements or their impact on our business. The adoption and expansion of trade restrictions and tariffs, quotas and embargoes, the occurrence or threat of a trade war or other governmental action related to tariffs or trade agreements or policies, has the potential to adversely impact demand for our products, our costs, our customers, our suppliers and the world and U.S. economies, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
