Latham Group, Inc.

Previous wording

We have disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, the risk factors that materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report. You should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors set forth in the Annual Report and other subsequent reports we file with the SEC, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, any of which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied. For similar reasons, our past results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and trends. You also should be aware that these risk factors and other information do not describe every risk that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may affect us. We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment and new risks emerge from time to time, and we anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. In addition, these risks do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may undertake. Any of these known or emerging factors may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results, as well as the trading price of our common stock.

Previous wording

The conflict in the Middle East between the United States, Israel and Iran and related geopolitical instability may adversely affect our business. In February 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes against Iran, which retaliated with missile attacks across the region and has since taken actions to disrupt ocean bound vessels carrying petroleum and other supplies from passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The ongoing conflict and any further escalation, including additional military actions, retaliatory measures, sanctions, disruptions to trade or transportation routes, cyberattacks, or other governmental or market responses, has and could continue to lead to significant disruption of global energy supplies and increases in global energy prices, heighten inflationary pressures on our input costs and supply chain, adversely affect global supply chains, energy markets, commodity prices, currency exchange rates, interest rates, financial markets and overall macroeconomic conditions, increase the cost or reduce the availability of debt financing, and adversely impact customer spending patterns in markets in which we operate. To the extent that we are unable to offset potential increases in energy and commodity costs with price increases and other mitigation actions, our profitability and overall financial results could be adversely impacted by the ongoing conflict.
