- We have experienced varied operating results, and our operating results for any particular fiscal period are affected by the timing of revenue recognition, particularly for our hardware, IP and certain software products.
- Uncertainty in the global economy and instability within international relations, including changes in governmental policies relating to technology, and any potential downturn in the semiconductor and electronics industries, may negatively impact our business and reduce our bookings levels and revenue.
- We are subject to governmental export and import controls that could subject us to liability or impair our ability to compete in global markets as well as a variety of other laws and regulations.
- As we continue to acquire and invest in companies or technologies, we may not realize the expected business or financial benefits and these acquisitions could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our operating results and the market value of our common stock.
- We could suffer serious harm to our business because of the infringement or misappropriation of our IP rights by third parties.
- Our success is highly dependent upon the legal protection of our proprietary technology, as well as software and other IP rights licensed to us by third parties, and we cannot assure that the precautions taken to protect our rights will be adequate or that we will continue to be able to adequately secure such IP rights from third parties.
- We may not realize opportunities presented by AI and may incur reputational and financial harm and liability as a result of issues in the development and use of AI.

- Risks associated with our international operations could adversely impact our financial condition.
- The effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely impact our revenue, expenses, cash flows and financial condition.
- We depend upon our management team and qualified employees, and our failure to attract, train, motivate and retain them may make us less competitive and therefore harm our results of operations.
- A significant portion of our cash is held and generated outside of the United States, and if our cash available in the United States is insufficient to meet our requirements in the United States, we may be required to raise cash in ways that could negatively affect our financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our common stock.
- The investment of our cash is subject to risks that may cause losses and affect the liquidity of these investments.
- The long sales cycle of our products and services may cause our operating results to fluctuate unexpectedly.
- We have incurred, and may in the future incur, substantial costs in connection with restructuring plans, which might not result in the benefits we anticipate, possibly having a negative effect on our future operating results.
- Our business is subject to the risk of natural disasters and global climate change.
