Geopolitical tensions, including the conflict in Iran that began in February 2026, have disrupted and could continue to disrupt global energy supply‑demand dynamics, contributing to commodity price volatility and broader uncertainty. These conditions could adversely affect energy prices, transportation routes, logistics and insurance costs, global supply chains, input costs, and consumer spending patterns, which could impact our operating results, liquidity, and cash flows if such conditions persist or escalate. We continue to monitor the evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical environment and assess potential impacts on our business.
