We discuss in our Annual Report on Form 10-K various risks that may materially affect our business. We use this section to update this discussion to reflect material developments since our Form 10-K was filed. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has identified an additional risk factor due to ongoing global geopolitical conflicts, including conflicts impacting energy‑producing regions, contributing to increased volatility in global oil and fuel markets. Actions taken by governments globally in response to such conflicts, including sanctions and trade restrictions, have increased uncertainty regarding global oil and fuel supply and pricing.

Continued geopolitical instability or further governmental actions globally could result in additional increases in oil and fuel costs, which may adversely affect our operating expenses and financial results.

Ongoing geopolitical tensions and military conflicts in the Middle East, including the conflict involving Iran, may adversely affect our operations. Escalating conflict in or near major oil‑producing or shipping corridors could lead to higher fuel and energy prices, increasing our transportation and other operational costs. Any sustained increase in fuel prices could negatively impact our margins and may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
