Current report
Our workforce reduction may cause unintended consequences and our results of operations may be harmed.
Current report
On June 5, 2025, we implemented a workforce reduction of approximately 22%, or 122 employees across our U.S., Canadian and German operations. While we believe this workforce reduction is necessary to help realign the Company’s cost structure, this reduction may yield unintended consequences, such as attrition beyond our intended reduction in workforce and reduced employee morale, which may cause our employees who were not affected by the reduction in workforce to seek alternate employment. Additional attrition could impede our ability to meet our operational goals, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance. In addition, as a result of the reductions in our workforce, we may face an increased risk of employment litigation. Furthermore, employees whose positions were eliminated may seek employment with our competitors. Although all our employees are required to sign a confidentiality and non-competition agreement with us at the time of hire, we cannot assure you that the confidential nature of our proprietary information will be maintained in the course of such future employment.
Current report
If our restructuring plan and workforce reduction do not result in the intended benefits or savings or result in unanticipated costs, including, but not limited to, additional charges and/or higher than expected severance and employee termination benefits costs, or if we are unable to successfully implement our restructuring plan, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. We cannot assure you that we will not undertake additional reduction and/or restructuring activities, that any of our efforts will be successful, or that we will be able to realize the cost savings and other anticipated benefits from our current or any future restructuring or reduction plans. In addition, if we continue to reduce our workforce, it may adversely impact our ability to respond rapidly to any new product, growth or revenue opportunities and to execute on our backlog and business plans.
