Previous report

Our business is global in scope, and government trade actions may materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. The U.S. government has recently taken, and may continue to take, trade actions that impact or could impact our operations, including, but not limited to, imposing tariffs on certain goods and raw materials imported into the United States. For example, during April 2025, the U.S. government announced baseline tariffs on products from all countries and additional individualized reciprocal tariffs on the countries with which the United States has the largest trade deficits, including China. In addition, several governments, including the European Union, China and India, have imposed tariffs, including reciprocal tariffs, on certain goods imported from the United States. Given the current macroeconomic environment and uncertainty around tariffs, we continue to assess the impact of added costs for certain imported raw materials and other components and demand softness in certain of our key end markets. We are working with our customers and suppliers and expect to mitigate the impact of added costs caused by tariffs. Conversely, we believe many of our businesses are well positioned to benefit in the long term from the current environment due to higher production activity and localized sourcing back into the United States.
