ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
Security holders and potential investors in our securities should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our 2024 Annual Report, and in subsequent filings we make with the SEC. We have identified these risk factors as important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any written or oral forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report.
Changes in U.S. trade policy and the impact of tariffs, including any resulting market volatility, may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Our business and results of operations may be adversely affected by uncertainty and changes in U.S. trade policies, including tariffs, trade agreements or other trade restrictions imposed by the U.S. or other governments. For example, on March 12, 2025, the U.S. government imposed a 25% tariff on steel imports, and on April 2, 2025, the U.S. government announced a 10% tariff on product imports from almost all foreign countries and individualized higher tariffs on certain other countries. Several tariff announcements have been followed by announcements of limited exemptions and temporary pauses. These actions have caused uncertainty and volatility in financial markets and may result in retaliatory measures on U.S. goods. Steel is a necessary component to build our compression units, and we require various other materials and equipment to operate and maintain our compression units. Any imposition of or increase in tariffs on imports of steel or other materials or equipment utilized in our business, as well as corresponding price increases for such materials available domestically, could increase the costs to purchase new compression units and to maintain our operations. We may not be able to fully pass along the cost increases to our customers, which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Additionally, our customers may be also affected by tariffs and the resulting volatility in pricing and demand, which could in turn affect demand for our services. Similarly, declines in consumer confidence and/or consumer spending, changes in unemployment, significant inflationary or deflationary changes or disruptive regulatory or geopolitical events could contribute to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the economy, including the market for our services, and lead to demand or cost pressures that could negatively and adversely impact our business. Volatility in the capital markets could also limit our ability to access capital on favorable terms, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to grow our business.
The nature of these types of risks, which are often unpredictable, makes them difficult to plan for, or otherwise mitigate, and they are generally uninsurable—which compounds their potential impact on our business and results of operations.
