Previous report

The Company is subject to risks from changes to the trade policies, tariffs and import and export regulations of the U.S. and foreign governments.

Previous report

Changes in import and export policies, including trade restrictions, new or increased tariffs or quotas, embargoes, sanctions and counter sanctions, safeguards or customs restrictions by the U.S. and foreign governments, could materially adversely affect the Company’s business performance, financial condition, results of operations, and relationships with customers, suppliers, and employees. Similarly, changes in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development, and investment in the territories or countries where the Company currently manufacture or sell products or conduct business, and adverse changes in, or withdrawal from, trade agreements or political relationships between the U.S. and such countries and territories could materially adversely affect the Company’s business.

Previous report

Substantially all of the units the Company sources are procured from third-party manufacturers in the Asia Pacific region. Restrictions on international trade, such as tariffs, can materially adversely affect the Company’s operations and supply chain and limit the Company’s ability to offer and distribute products. The impact can be particularly significant if these restrictive measures apply to countries and regions where the Company has significant supply chain operations or from which the Company derives a significant portion of revenues. These restrictive measures can substantially increase the cost to procure products and the raw materials the Company uses, and may require the Company to take various actions, including raising prices on products, changing manufacturers or suppliers, renegotiating purchase prices with suppliers and material vendors, ceasing to offer and distribute certain products, or reducing investments. Changing operations and supply chain in response to new or changed restrictions on international trade can be expensive, time-consuming and disruptive to the Company’s operations. These restrictions may be announced with little or no advance notice, which can create uncertainty, and we may not be able to effectively mitigate all resulting adverse impacts on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if the Company is required to raise prices on products but competitors do not take similar price increases, the Company’s competitive position may be materially adversely affected.

Previous report

The extent and duration of the effects on the Company’s business of recent U.S.tariffs, tariffs proposed by other countries in response, and the resulting impact on general economic conditions are uncertain and will depend on various factors, including future actions of the U.S. and other countries, negotiations between the U.S. and other countries, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative manufacturers and sources of supply, and demand for the Company’s products in affected markets.

Previous report
