Removed paragraphs (5)
Previous report
Changes in U.S. trade policy including the impact of tariffs are having and may continue to have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Previous report
Our business and results of operations are being and may continue to be adversely affected by uncertainty and changes in U.S. trade policies, including tariffs, trade agreements or other trade restrictions which may be imposed by the U.S. or other governments with little or no advance notice. For example, the U.S. government recently imposed tariffs on various product imports from almost all countries. Some tariff announcements have been followed by the granting of limited exemptions and temporary pauses causing substantial uncertainty and volatility in financial markets. Current U.S. trade policy has and may continue to result in retaliatory measures on U.S. goods. Retaliatory tariffs that apply to our products could have a material adverse impact on demand for and purchases of our products.
Previous report
Some of our products require materials that may be subject to these recent tariffs. Any imposition of or increase in tariffs on imports of our products or materials needed to manufacture our products, as well as corresponding price increases for such materials available domestically, could increase our costs. To the extent that we are unsuccessful in finding alternative suppliers that are subject to smaller or no tariffs, negotiating sharing of these costs with our suppliers, or failing to pass cost increases on to our customers, such cost increases could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Higher costs could also inhibit our ability to develop new products and innovations.
Previous report
If we are unable to navigate further these unpredictable changes in U.S. or international trade policy, it could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
Previous report
Tariffs or other trade restrictions may lead to continuing uncertainty and volatility in U.S. and global financial and economic conditions and commodity markets, declining consumer confidence, significant inflation and diminished expectations for the economy, and ultimately may reduce demand for our products. Such conditions could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and cash flows.
Reworded paragraphs (1)
Previous wording
For example, in November 2024 we began an internal investigation regarding our past compliance with relevant U.S. trade controls and made an initial voluntary self-disclosure of apparent trade controls violations to the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”). In addition, in April 2025 we filed an initial voluntary self-disclosure with OFAC relating to the same internal investigation. Following our internal investigation, we filed final voluntary self-disclosures with BIS and OFAC on September 5, 2025. We estimate that such potential violations represented less than one percent of our net revenue in each of our last three fiscal years. An unfavorable outcome of this matter may include fines or penalties imposed in response to our voluntary self-disclosures. While we believe the amount of any fines or penalties would not be material to our financial condition and results of operation, we are unable to predict the outcome or to reasonably estimate the time it may take to resolve these matters.
