Existing and potential new trade policies, such as tariffs, could adversely affect our operations, costs and business.

Current report

President Donald Trump has issued a series of executive orders since taking office in January 2025, including executive orders regarding tariffs. While the possibility exists for delays, reductions or exemptions of the automotive and reciprocal tariffs, the potential impacts of these tariffs remain uncertain and may cause a significant impact on the future demand for vehicles by consumers. To the extent any such tariffs remain in place for a sustained period of time, or in the event a global or domestic recession results therefrom, the disposable income of consumers could be significantly reduced, which may result in consumers deciding to delay vehicle purchases, or forego them entirely, or decide to delay or forego the addition of vehicle accessories, each of which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Current report

Additional actions taken by the U.S. that restrict or could impact the economics of trade — including additional tariffs, trade barriers, and other similar measures — could have the potential to further disrupt existing supply chains and trigger retaliatory efforts by other countries, including the imposition of tariffs, raising taxation, setting foreign exchange or capital controls, or establishing embargoes, sanctions, or other import/export restrictions, thereby negatively impacting our business, both directly and indirectly. These developments, or the perception that more of them could occur, may materially create, or increase business uncertainty and could adversely affect the global economy and stability of global financial markets, potentially reducing trade and depressing economic activity, including demand for our products. Such changes in international trade policies may result in direct impacts to our business or indirectly to our customers or suppliers through increased costs, changes in business prospects or operating results, which could adversely affect our financial condition. The extent of such impacts cannot be predicted at this time.
