ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20245, as further updated and supplemented below, which could materially affect our business, results of operations, and financial conditions. These risks are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
The Companys opOur operating results may be impacted by the effects of, and changes in, worldwide economic conditions, ingeopolitical tensions, international trade, tariffs and retaliatory countermeasures, export controls and other trade barriers, global trade wars or domestic preferences , any of which could increase our costs and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our global business, operations, and the execution of our business strategies and plans are subject to global competition and economic and geopolitical risks that are beyond our control, such as, among other things, tariffs and retaliatory countermeasures, trade barriers and other governmental protectionist measures impacting international trade agreements or imposing trade restrictions, any of which can negatively affect us.
T Geopolitical tensions, including the global ecoongoing conflict involving Iran, have contributed to uncertainty in the broader macroeconomy has been imic environment, including volatility in energy markets and continued concerns regarding inflation and interest rates. Additionally, heightened geopolitical tensions and uncertainties related to trade wars have caused economic disruption and uncertainty, which may impacted by geopolitical tensions. customer spending, project timing, and overall demand for the Company's products. These factors may continue to negatively affect our financial results and operating cash flows. We are unable to predict the extent or duration of these impacts, including the effect of any further escalation or related governmental or market responses, on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
There is currently significant uncertainty about future trade relationships between the United States and various other countries, most significantly Russia, Canada, Mexico, and China. Further escalation of specific trade tensions, including those between the U.S. and China, or more broadly in global trade conflicts, could materially and adversely affect the Company's business and operations. The U.S. government and other governments have imposed export controls and tariffs on certain products and certain components that we import into, and export out of, the United States, and we, our customers, suppliers, and partners may become subject to additional tariffs and export controls and our products and services may be subject to increased competition outside of the United States. In addition, geopolitical tensions could result in, among other things, cyberattacks, supply chain disruptions, higher energy and other commodity costs, lower demand, changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets. Additional tariffs and trade restrictions may result in increased manufacturing costs and product pricing, further supply chain disruptions, limit access to end markets and lower profitability. We also generate a significant amount of our revenue outside of the United States which may be adversely affected by tariffs and trade controls imposed by other countries. Revenue generated from outside of North America accounted for approximately 372.1% of our net sales for the yearquarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 2024,6 and approximately 367.1% of our net sales for the nine months year ended SeptDecember 301, 2025, and international sales are expected to remain a material percentage of our total revenue in future periods. If we are not successful in offsetting the impact of tariffs, export controls, trade barriers, and other geopolitical disruptions, our revenue, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
We have made and plan to continue to make acquisitions, investments and divestitures that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. As part of our business and growth strategy, we have made and plan to continue to consider acquisitions of, and significant investments in, businesses, products or technologies on a selective basis. On September 24, 2025 we entered into an equity purchase agreement to acquire WCI-Gigawatt Intermediate Holdco, LLC as indirect parent of Paragon Energy Solutions, LLC (Paragon) for $585 million in an all-cash transaction (subject to working capital and other customary purchase price adjustments). The Paragon acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other parties to the equity purchase agreement (subject to certain materiality qualifiers) and other customary closing conbusiness, results of operations and financial conditions. These conditions to the closing of the Paragon acquisition may not be fulfilled in a timely manner, or at all, and accordingly, the Paragon acquisition may not be completed. If the Paragon acquisition does close, it may not meet our expectations. The success of the Paragon acquisition,

including anticipated benefits, will depend, in part, on our ability to successfully integrate our respectiadve businesses in a manner that results in various benefits and that does not materially disrupt existing business and strategic relationships. If we experience difficulties in the integration process, we may not fully realize the anticipated benefits of the Paragon acquisition in a timely manner, or at all. We also periodically divest businesses that no longer align with our strategic plans. There can be no assurance that suitable acquisition, investment or divestiture opportunities will be identified or that we will be able to consummate any such transactions on terms and conditions acceptable to us. Additionally, the expected benefits may not materialize, and our existing operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. Our growth through acquisitions and investments is subject to various risks, including competition for attractive or promising businesses or assets, financing needs, and regulatory approvals. The sale of equity or equity-linked securities, including in connection with the Paragon acquisition, or issuance of debt to finance any such acquisitions could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could also include covenants or other restrictions that would impede our ability to manage our operations. Divestitures also require significant time and resources, could disrupt our business, may not close on the expected timing or at all, have in the past resulted in additional costs following the transaction and may continue to do so in the future. Potential and actual transactions could also divert management's attention, and could potentially deplete corporate resources and adversely impact the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.
Conversion of our Convertible Notes may dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our Class A common stock. Upon conversion of our Convertible Notes, we have the option to pay or deliver, cash, shares of our Class A common stock, or a combination of both. If we elect to settle our conversion obligation in shares of our Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our Class A common stock, any sales in the public market of our Class A common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Class A common stock. In addition, the existence of our Convertible Notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the notes could be used to satisfy short positions, or anticipated conversion of the notes into shares of our Class A common stock could depress the price of our Class A common stock.
The conditional conversion feature of our Convertible Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results. In the event the conditional conversion feature of our Convertible Notes is triggered, holders of such notes will be entitled to convert their notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their Convertible Notes, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our Class A common stock (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their Convertible Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.
