Previous wording

Changes to trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements; the imposition of new, additional, or retaliatory tariffs, quotas, exchange controls, sanctions, trade barriers or other restrictions; and the withdrawal from or modification of trade agreements or the negotiation of new trade agreements, in countries where we operate, particularly in Mexico, Canada, China, and India, could impact the cost of our products, demand for our products and the competitive position of our products. Our largest global manufacturing facility is in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and it supplies products to our U.S. and global markets. There can be no assurance that the consequences of these actions, given our global operations, will not have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Previous wording

For example, since February 2025, the U.S. presidential administration has announced new and substantial tariff increases on imports to the United States from China, Mexico, Canada and India. Since then, various modifications and delays to these tariffs have been implemented, with further changes anticipated. These modifications include additional sector-specific tariffs or other measures. These actions have resulted in retaliatory measures on U.S. goods and have had a direct impact on our business. Several tariff announcements have been followed by announcements of temporary pauses and limited exemptions, such as the temporary exemption for goods that enter the U.S. as qualifying goods under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (“USMCA”), for which the majority of our products from Mexico for the U.S. market are certified compliant, or expected to be certified compliant. These temporary exemptions, including those we are availing ourselves to under the USMCA, may be reduced or eliminated in the future. The ongoing trade disputes associated with these tariff measures and the potential escalation of trade disputes would pose a significant risk to our business and would affect our revenue and cost of goods sold. For instance, we have raised the prices of certain of our products in response to cost increases we have incurred on purchases of finished and other goods and some raw materials due to tariffs. The extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and our business are uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand for our products in affected markets. Further, actions we take to adapt to new tariffs or trade restrictions, including raising the prices of our products or shifting supply sourcing or production locations, may cause us to modify our operations, lose customers, experience increased costs, or forgo business opportunities.

Current wording

Although the U.S. Supreme Court has held the tariffs imposed under the IEEPA are unlawful, ongoing trade disputes associated with other tariff measures, the uncertainty surrounding the legal basis of other tariff measures, and the potential escalation or reconfiguration of trade restrictions pose a significant risk to our business and could adversely affect our revenue and cost of goods sold. For instance, we have raised the prices of certain products in response to cost increases incurred on purchases of finished goods, other purchased components, and raw materials due to tariffs. The extent and duration of any tariffs and their resulting impact on general economic conditions and on our business remain uncertain and depend on a variety of factors, including negotiations between the United States and affected countries, judicial and legislative developments, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, the availability and cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand for our products in affected markets. Further, actions we take to adapt to new tariffs or trade restrictions, including raising the prices of our products or shifting supply sourcing or production locations, may cause us to modify our operations, lose customers, experience increased costs, or forgo business opportunities.
