Previous wording

The United States implemented significant tariffs on imports from a wide range of countries in 2025. On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled the tariffs imposed by the United States in reliance on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act during 2025 were unconstitutional. On the same day, the Trump administration temporarily imposed 10% tariffs on imports from all countries for 150 days. On February 21, 2026, the Trump administration announced the tariff rate will be increased to 15%. These actions, and retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on United States exports, have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. The Company anticipates incurring incremental tariff costs on certain raw materials to produce our products and certain finished goods shipped to customers. However, the Company expects to manage the impact of the increased tariff costs through pricing actions. To the extent the Company is unable to offset the increased tariff costs, or the tariffs negatively impact demand, or other trade barriers are implemented, the Company’s revenue and profitability would be adversely impacted. If additional tariffs are adopted, the Company would incur additional tariff costs that could be material.

Current wording

The Company continues to monitor developments with respect to tariffs and other trade policy matters closely, including impacts from the U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) and other litigation, as well as the implementation of additional tariffs.

The tariffs imposed by the United States, and retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on United States exports, have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. As a result of these ongoing tariff-related actions, the Company anticipates incurring incremental tariff costs on certain raw materials to produce our products and certain finished goods shipped to customers. However, the Company expects to manage the impact of the increased tariff costs through pricing actions. To the extent the Company is unable to offset the increased tariff costs, or the tariffs negatively impact demand, or other trade barriers are implemented, the Company’s revenue and profitability would be adversely impacted. If additional tariffs are adopted, the Company would incur additional tariff costs that could be material.
