During the quarter ended March 31June 30, 2025, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KQ for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, except as follows.
Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Matters
Imposed tariffs and potential future tariffs may result in increased costs and could adversely affect the Company's results of operations.
Tariffs imposed in the U.S. on certain steel and aluminum products imported into the U.S. have created volatility in the market and have increased the costs of these inputs. Increased costs for imported steel and aluminum products have led domestic sellers to respond with market-based increases to prices for such inputs as well. These tariffs, along with any additional tariffs or trade restrictions that may be implemented by the U.S. or other countries, could result in further increased costs, shifting in competitive positions and a decreased available supply of steel, resins and aluminum as well as additional imported components and inputs. The Company may not be able to pass price increases on to its customers and may not be able to secure adequate alternative sources of steel, resins and aluminum on a timely basis.
Specifically, the Company may be adversely affected by recent uncertainty and changes in U.S. trade policies, including tariffs, trade agreements or other trade restrictions imposed by the U.S. or other government. For example, on rter ended March 1231, 2025, the U.S. government imposed a 25% tariff on steel imports, and on April 2, 2025, and the U.S. government announced a 10% tariff on product imports from almost all countries and individualized higher tariffs on certain other countries. Several tariff announcements have been followed by announcements of limited exemptions and temporary pauses. These unprecedented actions have caused substantial uncertainty and volatility in the market and may result in retaliatory measures on U.S. goods. While volatility in the market and retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on U.S. goods have not yet had a significant impact on the Company's businesses and results of operations, the Company cannot predict further developments.
Changes to and evolving U.S. trade policies may lead to continuing uncertainty and volatility in U.S. financial and economic conditions and commodity markets, declining consumer confidence, significant inflation, and diminished expectations for the economy, and ultimately reduced demand for the Company's products and services. Such conditions could adversely affect the Company's income from operations for some of the Company's businesses and customer demand for some of the Company's products which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
