Item 1A. Risk Factors
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. For a detailed discussion of the risks that affect our business. Please refer to the sections titled Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2024 Annual Report.
The risk factors set forth below represent new risk factors or those containing changes to the similarly titled risk factor included in the sections titled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. of our 2024 Annual Report.
We are subject to various governmental export controls, trade and economic sanctions, and import laws and regulations that could impair our ability to compete in international markets and subject us to liability if we are not in full compliance with applicable laws.
Our products and technologies are subject to export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and our products, technologies, and activities are subject to trade and economic sanctions, including those administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, as well as regulations administered by the governments of the United Kingdom and authorities in the European Union, which we collectively refer to as trade controls. As such, licenses and notices may be required to import products, technologies, and services from or export or re-export products, technologies, and services to certain countries and end users and for certain end uses. For example, the U.S. government continues to add additional entities in China and elsewhere to restricted party lists impacting the ability of U.S. companies to provide products, technology, and services to, and in some cases receive products, technologies, and services from, these entities. These controls may impact our ability to import certain products, technology, or services from or export or re-export certain products, technology, or services to China and other destinations, and it is also possible that the Chinese government will retaliate in ways that could impact our business. The process for obtaining necessary licenses and making required notices may be time-consuming or unsuccessful, potentially causing delays in sales or losses of sales opportunities. Trade controls are complex and dynamic regimes and monitoring and ensuring compliance can be challenging. Any failure to comply with these regimes could subject us to both civil and criminal penalties, including substantial fines, possible incarceration of responsible individuals for willful violations, possible loss of our export or import privileges, and reputational harm. In addition, investigating or defending against any such allegations, actions, or investigations will likely result in a materially significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and significant defense costs and other professional fees.
In addition, various countries regulate the import of certain encryption technology, including through import permit and license requirements, and have enacted laws that could limit our ability to distribute our products or could limit our end-customers’ ability to implement our products in those countries. Changes in our products or changes in export and import regulations in such countries may create delays in the introduction of our products into international markets, prevent our end-customers with international operations from deploying our products globally or, in some cases, prevent or delay the export or import of our products to certain countries, governments, or persons altogether. Any change in export or import laws or regulations, economic sanctions, or related legislation, shift in the enforcement or scope of existing export, import, or sanctions laws or regulations, or change in the countries, governments, persons, or technologies targeted by such export, import, or sanctions laws or regulations, could result in decreased use of our products by, or in our decreased ability to export or sell our products to, existing or potential end-customers with international operations. Any decreased use of our products or limitation on our ability to export to or sell our products in international markets could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Tariffs could also have a material impact on our product costs and decrease our ability to sell our products and services to existing or potential customers as well as harm our ability to compete internationally. Recent escalations in tariffs imposed by the United States on imports from its trading partners, retaliatory actions taken by affected countries, as well as uncertainties concerning further changes in tariff and non-tariff trade policies, particularly regarding those between the United States, Mexico, and Canada, and the between the United States and China, have been significant. The U.S. government has implemented additional broad tariffs on the import of most items from virtually all U.S. trading partners and has imposed particularly significant tariffs on imports from China. China responded by imposing significant tariffs on a variety of items imported from the United States, implementing new export controls on certain commodities, and imposing trade restrictions targeting particular U.S. companies. These tariffs could materially and adversely affect our ability to compete internationally. The future of these tariffs, as well as the possibility for new tariffs, remains very uncertain. Other causes of uncertainty include the effects of new tariffs implemented by the United States on imports from Mexico and Canada that do not qualify for duty-free treatment under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. The macroeconomic effect of any such tariffs on major trading partners, including China, Mexico, and Canada could be significant, and our business and financial results could be negatively affected as a result.
Any changes in our product or in export or import regulations or legislation; shifts or changes in enforcement; or changes in the countries, persons or technologies targeted by these regulations could delay us introducing new products in international markets, decrease use of our products by, or decrease our ability to export or sell our products to existing or potential customers with international operations, adversely affecting our business and results of operations.
