Current report

Changes in production costs, including raw material prices and tariffs, could erode our profit margins and negatively impact operating results.

Current report

Pricing and availability of raw materials, energy, shipping, labor and other services needed for our business can be volatile due to general economic conditions, including inflation, supplier capacity restraints, geopolitical developments, including armed conflict and regional instability, changes in supply and demand, natural disasters, energy costs, health epidemics or pandemics, labor shortages and turnover, production levels, currency fluctuations, governmental actions (including import and export requirements such as new or increased tariffs, sanctions, quotas or trade barriers), port congestions or delays, transport capacity restraints, cybersecurity incidents or other disruptions of key manufacturing sites, acts of terrorism and other factors beyond our control. In particular, the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, including disruptions and heightened uncertainty regarding transit through the Strait of Hormuz, has increased energy and transportation costs and caused global supply chain disruptions. There is no certainty that we will be able to offset future cost increases. This volatility can significantly affect our production costs and may, therefore, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Current report

If such cost pressures persist or exceed our estimates and we are not able to increase the prices of our products or achieve cost savings to offset such cost increases, our operating margins would be negatively impacted. In addition, even if we increase the prices of our products in response to increases in the cost of commodities or other cost increases, we may not be able to sustain such price increases. Sustained price increases may lead to declines in volume as competitors may not adjust their prices or customers may reduce consumption due to pay the higher prices, which could lead to sales and market share declines. Our projections may not accurately predict the potential negative volume impact of price increases, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
