Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Investing in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2024 under Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors, together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the sections titled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, before making a decision to invest in our Class A common stock. Our business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects could also be harmed by risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently do not believe are material. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be adversely affected. In that event, the market price of our Class A common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.
Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in Item 1A. contained in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Changes in U.S. and international trade policies could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The recent announcements of substantial new tariffs and other restrictive trade policies have created a dynamic and unpredictable trade landscape, which may adversely impact our business. Current or future tariffs or other restrictive trade measures may raise the cost of raw materials, components or finished goods. We derive the majority of our revenue from the sale of parts and assemblies to our customers on our marketplace. Our business is therefore dependent upon the availability and price of raw materials, tools and components for assembly in various countries around the world. To the extent that significant tariffs, sanctions or similar restrictions are placed on certain goods imported into the United States or tariffs and similar measures, including retaliatory measures, are imposed by foreign governments, we could also face significant challenges in maintaining our cost-effectiveness, and we and our network of suppliers may be required to raise prices, thereby making our marketplace less attractive to buyers. To the extent suppliers increase their costs and we are unable to sufficiently pass such price increases on to our customers, or if the level of demand for the products and services we offer decreases as a result of any price increases, we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability or otherwise maintain our historical margins. Our suppliers, and we as a result, may experience supply chain disruptions as a result of increased costs and uncertainty, including risks to the long-term viability of such suppliers, which may impact our ability to meet customer demand or cause reputational harm if we are unable to deliver products on expected timelines or if any price increases are poorly received by customers. In addition, many of our customers operate businesses that may be impacted by trade policies, which may result in decreased demand on our marketplace or extended sales cycles as customers assess the impact of evolving trade policies on their operations and face increased costs or decreased revenue due to tariffs and trade restrictions. As a result of the foregoing factors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Trade disputes, trade restrictions, tariffs and other political tensions between the U.S. and other countries may also exacerbate unfavorable macroeconomic conditions including inflationary pressures, foreign exchange volatility, financial market instability, and economic recessions or downturns, which may also negatively impact customer demand for products on our marketplace, delay purchases or renewals, limit expansion opportunities with customers, limit our access to capital, or otherwise negatively impact our business and operations. Ongoing tariff, trade restrictions and macroeconomic uncertainty has and may continue to contribute to volatility in the price of our Class A common stock.
The complexity of announced or future tariffs may also increase the risk that we or our customers or suppliers may be subject to civil or criminal enforcement actions in the U.S. or foreign jurisdictions related to compliance with trade regulations. In addition, retaliatory trade policies or anti-U.S. sentiment in certain regions whether driven by trade tensions, political disagreements, or

regulatory concerns may make customers, governments and investors more hesitant to engage with, purchase from or invest in U.S. firms. This may lead to increased preference for local competitors, changes to government procurement policies, heightened regulatory scrutiny, decreased intellectual property protections, delays in regulatory approvals or other retaliatory regulatory non-tariff policies, which may result in heightened international legal and operational risks and difficulties in attracting and retaining non-U.S. customers, suppliers, employees, partners and investors. Further, international suppliers may elect not to continue engaging us, limiting our sourcing options and increasing our dependency on domestic suppliers.
While we continue to monitor trade developments, the ultimate impact of these risks remains uncertain and any prolonged economic downturn, escalation in trade tensions, or deterioration in international perception of U.S.-based companies could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. In addition, tariffs and other trade developments have and may continue to heighten the risks related to the other risk factors described in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
