Previous report
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, tariffs will be applied to certain products from Mexico, Vietnam, India Canada, and China, among other countries.
Previous 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. Currently, the 10% baseline reciprocal tariff announced in April 2025 remains in effect, in addition to the other tariffs on China (a minimum of an additional 20% as of July 15, 2025, with additional tariffs pending subject to negotiations) and Canada and Mexico (25% as of July 15, 2025, for goods that are not covered by the USMCA).
Previous report
As it pertains to the countries where we manufacture products, the additional, country-specific tariffs would apply 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.
Previous report
In August 2025, the U.S. government imposed a 25% tariff on India in response to its continued importation of Russian oil, which is in addition to the pre-existing 25% individualized reciprocal tariff on India. Increased tariffs by the United States have led, and may continue to lead, to the imposition of retaliatory tariffs or other measures taken by foreign jurisdictions, which may in turn lead to additional tariffs imposed or measures taken by the United States. In August 2025, however, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that many of the tariffs imposed under the Trump Administration exceed presidential authority and therefore are invalid, though the decision has been stayed pending U.S. Supreme Court review. This ruling introduces additional uncertainty as to the scope and durability of existing and future tariff measures. While the U.S. government has announced various trade deals, many such agreements are preliminary and may be subject to change.
Reworded paragraphs (1)
Previous wording
Certain of the tariffs have increased the cost of raw materials and components necessary for our operations and caused us in some cases to raise prices to our customers. To the extent these tariffs remain in effect, the tariffs and any countermeasures could also cause further increases in the costs of finished goods, raw materials and components necessary for our operations, disrupt our global supply chain and create additional operational challenges. We have experienced some adverse effects on our sales and costs due to the effects of actual and potential tariffs, and such effects could continue and potentially increase. 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.
Current wording
Trade policies and disputes have resulted in increased tariffs, trade barriers, and other protectionist measures, which have caused and will continue to cause increases in our manufacturing costs, may make our products less competitive, may reduce demand for our products, may limit our ability to sell to certain customers, have disrupted and may continue to disrupt our ability to procure components or raw materials, and may impede or slow the movement of our goods across borders. Increasing protectionism and economic nationalism may lead to further changes in trade policies and regulations, domestic sourcing initiatives, or other formal and informal measures that could make it more difficult to sell our products in, or restrict our access to, certain markets. The U.S. has increased tariffs on imported products and in response to these tariffs, some trading partners have instituted retaliatory tariffs, which could impact our products. 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.
