Current report
The Company continues to monitor the impacts of various macroeconomic trends, such as inflationary pressure, changes in monetary policy, decreasing consumer confidence and spending, the introduction of or changes in tariffs or trade barriers, the impact of the ongoing U.S. federal government shutdown, and global or local recession. Such changes in domestic and global macroeconomic conditions may lead to increased costs for the business. Additionally, these macroeconomic trends could adversely affect the Company’s customers, which could impact their willingness to spend on the Company’s products and services, or their ability to make payments, which could harm the collection of accounts receivable and financial results. The world’s financial markets remain susceptible to significant stresses, resulting in reductions in available credit and government spending, economic downturn or stagnation, foreign currency fluctuations and volatility in the valuations of securities generally. As a result, the Company’s ability to access capital markets and other funding sources in the future may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The rapid development and fluidity of these situations precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact they will have on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows, which will depend largely on future developments.
