The following is an update to the material risks previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024:

Changes in global trade policy and the impact on tariffs may have a material adverse effect on business operations and financial performance.

The new U.S. presidential administration has announced tariffs on U.S. imports generally, with higher rates for select U.S. trade partners. Certain foreign governments have also announced retaliatory tariffs. The tariff policy environment has been and is expected to continue to be dynamic, and we cannot predict what additional actions may ultimately be taken by the United States or other governments with respect to tariffs or trade relations, including retaliatory trade measures taken by other countries in response to existing or future United States tariffs or other measures.

Domestic and foreign trade tariffs could raise the price and reduce the availability of raw materials such as steel plate and steel pipe, which are key materials used by us, which could cause us to experience lower gross margins, operational inefficiencies and project delays. To the extent we can, we mitigate these risks primarily by procuring materials upon contract execution to ensure that our purchase price approximates the costs included in the project estimate, through contract provisions that mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in material costs, and through contracting strategies that allow us to spread the risk of cost increases to other involved parties. However, we may be unable to pass through some or all of these increases in costs to other parties which may materially affect our results of operations.

Additionally, tariffs or other trade restrictions may lead to continuing uncertainty and volatility in U.S. economic conditions and commodity markets, declining consumer confidence, significant inflation, and diminished expectations for the economy. These factors could increase our costs and reduce our customers’ demand for our services, including decisions by our clients on project viability or timing, which could negatively impact our operating results and financial condition.
