Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, there are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A to Part I of our 2024 Form 10-K.
Global and regional economic conditions could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and growth.
We have international operations with revenues outside the United States representing a significant amount of our total revenues. As a result, our operations and performance depend significantly on global and regional economic conditions. Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, slower growth, or recession, new or increased tariffs or excise taxes and other barriers to trade, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, tighter credit, higher interest rates, high unemployment, and currency fluctuations could materially adversely affect demand for our products and services, our operating costs or our profitability. In addition, consumer confidence and spending could be adversely affected in response to financial market volatility, negative financial news, conditions in the real estate and mortgage markets, declines in income or asset values, changes to fuel and other energy costs, labor and healthcare costs, and other economic factors.
Changes to rates by our suppliers and increasing regulatory charges, tariffs or excise taxes may require us to raise prices or absorb the costs, which could adversely affect our financial result and business.
Our upstream carriers, suppliers and vendors may increase their prices thus directly impacting our direct cost of revenues, which would affect our earnings. Future changes in tariffs by regulatory agencies or application of tariff requirements to currently un-tariffed products or services could affect the price and sales of our products for a certain set of customers. Changes in our underlying direct costs of revenues may cause us to increase the rates we charge our customers, which could make us less competitive and impact our sales and retention of existing customers. Currently pending legislation in the United States that has been passed by the House of Representatives and requires approval by the Senate and the President would impose a five percent excise tax on certain remittance transfers, including those by non-U.S. citizens. The imposition of these or similar excise taxes could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Changes in national policy, governmental actions related to tariffs or international trade agreements, as well as shifts in social, political, regulatory, and economic conditions or laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development, and investment in the regions where we operate, can significantly impact our business. Such changes could lead to negative sentiments towards us, potentially depressing economic activity or restricting access to suppliers or customers and thereby have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and outlook.
In January 2025, the global tariff landscape began to quickly change with the United States implementing tariffs on goods from various foreign countries, either generally or with respect to certain products, and certain of those foreign countries implementing rebalancing tariffs on goods from the United States, either generally or with respect to certain products. In certain circumstances the United States and certain foreign countries temporarily suspended tariffs they had recently implemented, either in whole or in part. Since then, the United States has continued to impose tariffs on imported goods, and affected countries have often responded by imposing tariffs on U.S. goods. In April 2025, the U.S. announced a baseline tariff of 10% on goods from all countries and instituted additional individualized reciprocal tariffs for countries with which the United States has significant trade deficits. The United States continues to implement new, reinstated or adjusted tariffs, and we expect that it will continue with this practice. Foreign countries subject to these U.S. tariffs continue to implement new, reinstated or adjusted rebalancing tariffs, and we expect that foreign countries will continue with that practice.
The U.S. tariffs and rebalancing tariffs that were recently enacted or that may be enacted have contributed to uncertainty about current global economic conditions. Sustained uncertainty could result in a global economic slowdown and long-term changes to global trade. Such changes could lead to negative sentiments towards us, potentially depressing economic activity or restricting access to suppliers or customers and thereby have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and outlook.
Changes to immigrant populations could negatively impact certain of our businesses.
Certain of our businesses, particularly Boss Money and Boss Revolution, rely in large part on immigrant communities in the United States and elsewhere. Migration of immigrants and their spending patterns are affected by (among other factors) overall economic conditions, the availability of job opportunities, changes in immigration laws and their enforcement, including the potential for large scale deportations, restrictions on immigration and travel, and political or other events (such as civil unrest, war, terrorism, natural disasters, or public health emergencies or epidemics) that would make it more difficult for workers to migrate or work outside of the their countries of origin. Changes to these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
We may incur costs in complying with, or face exposure from the failure to comply with, laws, regulation or initiatives regarding greenhouse gas emissions or reporting of our direct and indirect emissions.
Several states have either passed (California) or are drafting (e.g. Washington, New York, Illinois, and Minnesota) what is being referred to as “sustainability legislation.” This class of legislation generally requires companies generating certain levels in annual revenue (either globally or in the relevant state) and who have a presence in the relevant state to report data on the impact of the company on the environment, including as to direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions or other factors believed to impact climate. Each company that meets the requirements will be required to report the data to a state regulator and may also be required to post the data online. Significant monetary penalties may apply to companies that fail to report in a timely manner. We believe that we will be required to report under the California legislation, and may also be subject to other states’ legislation, if passed. We are currently evaluating the resources necessary to comply with the law. While, barring unforeseen circumstances, we anticipate meeting the requirements in a timely manner, there can be no assurance that we will do so.
In addition, many foreign jurisdictions have enacted laws and regulations mandating certain reporting related to direct and indirect greenhouse gas emission by businesses operating in those areas. Our costs to comply with any legislation, regulations or initiatives may be significant and we could be exposed to fines and penalties and other negative impacts on our businesses if we do not comply with the laws and regulations that apply to us.
