Recent governmental actions and proposals relating to tariffs and other trade policies have created uncertainty about future trading arrangements and the possibility of imposing or increasing tariffs on certain goods. For example, certain governments (including the U.S. and other countries where we do business) have imposed or may impose tariffs on a wide range of products, raw materials, and intermediate goods. Additional tariffs, or retaliatory measures by other countries in response, may be implemented at any time. Should these or similar tariffs remain in place (or be re-imposed or increased), or if additional tariffs or trade restrictions are enacted in the future, they could cause us or our customers to face higher supply costs, delays or a need to switch suppliers. These actions could adversely affect our margins, profitability, financial condition, and results of operations. While we have not experienced adverse impacts of tariffs to date, we cannot predict future changes in trade policy or the terms of any renegotiated trade agreements, nor can we determine the impact they may have on our business. Any such changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. 75 75 75 75 75 75
