Trade Environment and Other U.S. Government Initiatives: Changes to U.S. trade policy continued throughout the first half of 2026. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not provide authority for the President to impose tariffs. Subsequently, new tariffs were imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974; however, these Section 122 tariffs expired on July 24, 2026. Following this expiration, the U.S. government implemented new tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which specifically target products associated with forced labor concerns.

Trade Environment and Other U.S. Government Initiatives: Changes to U.S. trade policy continued throughout the first nine months of 2026. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not provide authority for the President to impose tariffs. Subsequently, new tariffs were imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974; however, these Section 122 tariffs expired on July 24, 2026.

Previous wording

On April 2, 2026, the President issued a proclamation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 imposing tariffs on certain imported patented pharmaceuticals and active pharmaceutical ingredients. While this proclamation targets certain patented pharmaceutical products, it includes significant carve-outs, including for certain animal-health pharmaceutical products. These tariffs are not expected to apply to us, if at all, until at least September 2026.

Current wording

On April 2, 2026, the President issued a proclamation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 imposing tariffs on certain imported patented pharmaceuticals and active pharmaceutical ingredients. While these tariffs target certain patented pharmaceutical products, the proclamation and subsequent regulatory guidance include significant carve-outs, including for certain animal-health pharmaceutical products. To date, neither these measures nor recent Section 301 tariff announcements have had a material impact on our operations. We continue to monitor ongoing trade developments.

Previous wording

As disclosed in Item 1A, "Risk Factors– Tariffs, trade protection measures or other modifications of foreign trade policy may harm us or our customers", of our 2025 Form 10-K, our business is subject to risks related to, among other factors, tariffs, trade and monetary policies and economic conditions and events. We do not believe the previously enacted tariffs had a material impact on our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026. However, while animal-health pharmaceutical products are largely exempt from the U.S. tariffs imposed to date, it remains uncertain if this will continue to be the case, and pharmaceutical products are not exempt from all tariffs imposed outside of the U.S. Following the February 2026 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, we filed for refunds of certain IEEPA tariffs previously paid. While the timing and extent of any recoveries remain uncertain, we do not believe the impact of these potential refunds will be material to our business or financial statements.
