For a discussion of risk factors, please read Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in the 2023 Form 10-K. The information below includes additional risk relating to legal and regulatory claims, investigations and proceedings. The risks described below and in other documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flow, liquidity or financial condition.

We are subject to legal and regulatory claims, investigations and proceedings, some of which could be material.

We are subject to legal and regulatory claims, investigations and proceedings and could become subject to additional claims, investigations and proceedings in the future, some of which could be material. These proceedings may be brought by the government or private parties and may arise out of a number of matters, including contract disputes, product liability claims, antitrust claims and personal injury claims. Even if we are ultimately successful, defense of these claims can be costly and time-consuming and may divert management's attention and resources. The outcome of any pending or future claims, investigations or proceedings is inherently unpredictable, but such outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Please refer to Note 13, "Commitments and Contingencies," within the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information with respect to pending legal and regulatory proceedings.
