Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024.
Adverse changes in international trade policies, tariffs and treaties, including increases in tariff rates and the imposition of additional tariffs, may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Most of our imported products are subject to tariffs, duties, indirect taxes, quotas and non-tariff trade barriers, any of which may limit the quantity of products that we may import into the United States and other countries or that may impact the cost of such products. To maximize opportunities, we rely on free trade agreements and other supply chain initiatives, and, as a result, we are subject to government regulations and restrictions with respect to our cross-border activity. Additionally, we are subject to government regulations relating to importation activities, including related to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) withhold release orders. The imposition of taxes, duties and quotas, the withdrawal from or the material modification to trade agreements, retaliatory actions from other countries, and/or if CBP detains shipments of our goods pursuant to a withhold release order could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
During 2025, the United States implemented and then subsequently modified tariffs, and may continue modifying tariffs, trade restrictions, and trade agreements between the United States and other countries. Tariffs raise the cost to import our products. As such, we expect tariffs to have a negative impact on our gross margins and results of operations for 2025. However, the ultimate degree of such negative impact is uncertain as it depends on the level of tariffs in effect on each particular country, as well as the quantity and timing of our purchases from each affected country. For example, if tariffs on imports from China return to April 2025 levels, we would expect a further material negative impact on our gross margins and results of operations in 2025 due to the fact that a large percentage of our Drinkware manufacturing capacity will not be outside of China until the end of 2025.
We are taking or evaluating measures to alleviate the impact of tariffs, but there can be no assurance that such measures will mitigate the potential negative impact of current or potential tariffs on our business or results of operations. Importantly, we have continued our efforts to accelerate the diversification of our Drinkware manufacturing to additional countries beyond China. We continue to expect a large majority of such manufacturing capacity to be outside of China by the end of 2025. The other strategic options to further mitigate tariff impacts that we are taking or evaluating include managing operating expenses, working capital and cash; negotiating with suppliers; evaluating pricing strategies; leveraging tariff exemptions where possible; and pursuing other supply chain optimization activities. During 2025, we continue to diversify our supply chain out of China. The disruption caused by this transition is impacting our ability to source certain products. As a result, we continue to expect that inventory constraints will adversely impact sales in 2025.
If we do not meet demand due to constrained inventory, we could damage our relationships with our wholesale partners and customers and delay or lose sales opportunities, which could unfavorably impact our future sales and materially negatively impact our results of operations. In addition, a change in available exemptions, an increase in tariffs in other countries, or retaliatory actions from other countries, could further constrain our supply chain and further raise the cost of our products.
Tariffs have potential tangential economic impacts that may also harm our business. If businesses are forced to raise their prices in response to tariffs or other factors, higher prices for consumers may lead to a decrease in disposable consumer income and reduced consumer demand for many types of products, including ours. Demand for our products could also be harmed if the indirect impacts of tariffs cause a recession and there is a decrease in consumer discretionary spending.
Given the uncertainty regarding the scope and duration of the current and potential tariffs, as well as the potential for additional trade actions by the United States or other countries, the ultimate impact on our business and results of operations is uncertain but could be material.
