To date, we have not experienced any material delay that has adversely impacted our operations, but this does not mean that we will continue to have timely access to adequate supplies of essential materials and components in the future or that supplies of these materials and components will be available on satisfactory terms when needed. If our vendors for these materials and components are unable to meet our requirements, fail to make shipments in a timely manner, or ship defective materials or components, we could experience a shortage or delay in supply or fail to meet our contractual requirements, which would adversely affect our results of operations and negatively impact our cash flow and profitability.

Conversely, if we overestimate customer demand, we may purchase more equipment and inventory than we are able to use or sell at any given time or at all. As a result of our failure to properly estimate demand for our products, we could have excess or obsolete equipment and/or inventory, resulting in a decline in the value of our equipment and/or inventory, which would increase our costs of revenues and reduce our liquidity.

Further impairment of our goodwill or intangible assets could have a material non-cash adverse impact on our results of operations.

Current wording

Impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets has had, and in the future could have, a material non-cash adverse impact on our results of operations.

Previous wording

We assess goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment exist. In addition, intangible assets and their related useful lives are reviewed at least annually to determine whether there are any adverse conditions that would indicate the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. Our valuation methodology for assessing impairment requires management to make judgments and assumptions based on experience and to rely heavily on projections of future operating performance. Because we operate in highly competitive environments, projections of our future operating results and cash flows may vary significantly from our actual results. If in future periods we determine that our goodwill or intangible assets are further impaired, we will recognize a non-cash impairment charge with respect to these assets, which would adversely affect our results of operations.

Current wording

As of December 31, 2024, we had $51.7 million of goodwill and $170.5 million of other intangible assets on our balance sheets.

We may be required to record non-cash impairment charges with respect to our goodwill or other intangible assets during any period we determine these assets are impaired, which has had, and in the future could have, a material adverse impact on our results of operations. For example, for the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $54.6 million related to the full impairment of the goodwill associated with our MVE reporting unit and $9.2 million related to the impairment of certain trademarks and tradenames.

If such changes occur, it could adversely affect our business.

Current wording

Our international operations and transactions depend upon favorable trade relations between the United States and the foreign countries in which our customers and suppliers have operations.

It may be time consuming and expensive for us to adapt to any changes in U.S. or international social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development and investment in the territories or countries where we currently sell our products or conduct our business.
