Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in the risk factors from those detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2025 other than as set forth below.
We are undergoing a chief executive officer transition, which could cause disruption to our business, and our failure to appoint a new chief executive officer with the required level of experience and expertise in a timely manner could have an adverse impact on our operations and business strategy as well as the public or market perception of our business.
In March 2026, Tara Comonte resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Effective April 3, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Felicia DellaFortuna, our Chief Financial Officer, and Jonathan Volkmann, our Chief Operations Officer, to serve as members of the Interim Office of the Chief Executive until such time as the Company appoints a permanent President and Chief Executive Officer. We are in the process of searching for a new chief executive officer. However, if we are unsuccessful in appointing a chief executive officer with the required level of experience and expertise in a timely manner, our operations and business strategy could be materially and adversely affected. Any significant leadership change or executive management transition involves inherent risk and can be difficult to manage. It may involve a diversion of resources and management attention, be disruptive to our daily operations, make it more difficult to hire and retain key employees, impact public or market perception or hinder progress on key strategic initiatives, any of which could have a negative impact on our business or stock price.
Any failure of our technology or systems to perform satisfactorily could result in an adverse impact on our business.
We rely on software, hardware, network systems and similar technology, including cloud-based technology, that is either developed by us or licensed from or maintained by third parties to operate our websites and platforms, subscription product offerings, and other services and products such as the recurring billing system associated with our commitment plans, and to support our business operations. As much of this technology is complex, there may be future errors, defects or performance problems, including when we update our technology or integrate new technology to expand and enhance our capabilities. Our technology may malfunction or suffer from defects or misconfigurations, and such vulnerabilities may only become apparent after extended use. The integrity of our technology may also be compromised as a result of third-party cyber-attacks, such as hacking, spear phishing campaigns and denial of service (DOS) attacks, which are negatively impacting companies. Cyber threats and the techniques used in cyber-attacks are becoming more sophisticated and evolving rapidly, particularly through the use of advanced artificial intelligence techniques, which are already accelerating vulnerability discovery, social engineering, and attack automation. While longer-term risks may emerge from advances in computational capabilities such as quantum computing, these are not expected to impact our systems in the near term. Cyber-attacks can originate from a variety of sources, including third-parties affiliated with foreign governments, organized crime or terrorist organizations, and malicious individuals both outside and inside a targeted company. In addition, our operations depend on our ability to protect our information technology systems against damage from third-party cyber-attacks, fire, power loss, water, earthquakes, telecommunications failures and similar unexpected adverse events. Disruptions in our websites, apps, services and products or network systems could result from a number of factors, including unknown technical defects, insufficient capacity, the failure of our third-party providers to provide continuous and uninterrupted service and unusual volume in traffic for our platforms. Such disruptions would be most impactful if they occurred during peak activity periods and may impact accessibility to our services and products. While we maintain disaster recovery capabilities to return to normal operation in a timely manner, and we deploy multiple parallel instances of our applications across multiple computer resources, we do not have a fully redundant system that includes an instantaneous recovery capability. In the event we experience significant disruptions, we may be unable to repair our systems in an efficient and timely manner, and such system downtime could have an adverse impact on our business.
As a result of such possible defects, failures, interruptions, system downtime or other problems, our services and products could be rendered unreliable or be perceived as unreliable by customers, which could result in harm to our reputation and brands. Any failure of our technology or systems could result in an adverse impact on our business.
