On February 1, 2025, President Trump announced the imposition of additional substantial tariffs on imports from various countries, including China, Canada and Mexico, and the subject countries indicated their intention to impose counter measures. Under the announced measures, tariff will be applied to certain products from Mexico, while a 145% tariff will be imposed on certain imports from China.

Current report

On April 2, 2025, President Trump announced a 10% “baseline” reciprocal tariff on nearly all U.S. trading partners, effective April 5, 2025, and additional, higher reciprocal tariffs on specific countries, effective April 9, 2025. On April 9, 2025, President Trump paused the additional, higher tariffs on most countries for 90 days. However, President Trump raised the tariff on China. As of April 16, 2025, the 10% “baseline” reciprocal tariff applies to all countries other than China, Canada, Mexico, and countries listed under “Column 2” of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, such as Russia and North Korea. As it pertains to the countries where we manufacture products, the additional, country-specific tariffs would have applied to Vietnam, India, and Mexico. If the additional, higher tariffs on imports from these countries go into effect, it would increase the costs of our products manufactured in these countries with respect to our U.S. market. Further, such circumstances may impact our ability to sell certain products into the United States and therefore may also impact the operational status of certain of our international manufacturing facilities. As a result, our operating results could be adversely impacted if these tariffs are imposed.

Current report

If these tariffs remain in effect, the tariffs and any countermeasures could also increase finished goods, and the cost of raw materials and components necessary for our operations, disrupt our global supply chain and create additional operational challenges. Further, it is possible that government policy changes and related uncertainty about policy changes could increase market volatility and currency exchange rate fluctuations. Because of these dynamics, we cannot predict the impact of any future changes to the U.S.’s or other countries’ trading relationships or the impact of new laws or regulations adopted by the U.S. or other countries on our business. Such changes in tariffs and trade regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
