Current report
The United States economy continues to experience various macroeconomic pressures, including pricing pressure from tariffs and inflation, sustained high interest rates, increased fuel costs and general economic and political uncertainty.
Current report
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were invalid, and in March 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade further ruled that importers that paid such tariffs are due refunds. Although we may be entitled to refunds of previously paid IEEPA tariffs, the amount and timing of any such refunds remain uncertain, and as of March 31, 2026, we have not recorded any amounts related to potential recoveries. Following these rulings, new tariffs under other laws and on imports from more countries were imposed, in addition to existing non-IEEPA tariffs.
Current report
Additionally, increased fuel costs resulting from the conflict in Iran and geopolitical tensions in the region has increased macroeconomic uncertainty generally and may lead to higher freight expense and cost pressure on the products offered by the Company. These pressures have impacted, and may continue to impact in the future, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The universal baseline tariff of 10% includes imports from the Dominican Republic where we manufacture most of our products. The imposition of the baseline 10% tariff increased the cost of our products and could impact future product margins. The uncertainty could also cause disturbances in ocean shipping capacity that could affect our ability to secure ocean freight containers for our products, and create inflationary effects on our costs, in addition to the direct impact of tariffs.

Previous wording
The U.S. government implemented new tariff measures affecting a broad range of imported materials. Certain countries have responded to the U.S. tariffs by imposing or threatening retaliatory tariffs. While we are actively monitoring the changes in global trade policy and the effects they may have on our business and broader macroeconomic environment, we have not experienced a material impact on our financial position to date and do not expect them to have a material detrimental impact on our business operations in the near term. However, given the uncertainty surrounding global markets as a result of the new U.S. tariff policy, we do not have clarity at this point over the potential medium to long term impacts our business may face. The availability of certain goods could be affected if foreign suppliers choose to limit their exposure to U.S. markets in response to unfavorable trade policies, which could negatively impact our suppliers ability to deliver materials or manufacture equipment for us and, therefore, delay or impede our product deliveries. Furthermore, rising inflation, slower economic growth and increases in unemployment that may result from global trade disruptions could further deflate consumer demand and impact the demand for our products.
