Political and geopolitical conditions in the markets in which our products and services are sold have been and could continue to be difficult to predict, resulting in adverse effects on our business. The results of elections, geopolitical events and tensions, and wars and other military conflicts (such as the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East) in these markets have in the past impacted and could continue to impact how existing laws, regulations and government programs or policies are implemented or result in uncertainty as to how such laws, regulations, programs or policies may change, including with respect to the negotiation of new trade agreements, new, expanded or retaliatory tariffs against certain countries or covering certain products or materials (including recent U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on China, Canada, Mexico, and other countries and any retaliatory actions taken by such countries). Changes in political administrations in the U.S. and elsewhere may lead to variability in, or reallocation of, government spending priorities, or a reduction in government spend, which could have an adverse impact on our businesses that serve governmental entities or governmental contractors. In addition, certain geopolitical events have resulted in and could continue to result in, among other things, cyberattacks, supply disruptions, lower consumer demand, increase in global economic uncertainty, and changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets, any of which may adversely affect our business and supply chain.
