Our results of operations may vary based on the impact of changes in our industry or the global economy on us or our customers and potential customers. Negative conditions or volatility in the general economy both in the United States and abroad, including conditions resulting from changes in gross domestic product growth, financial and credit market fluctuations, bank failures, international trade relations, inflation, tariffs and trade wars, extended U.S. federal government shutdowns, and interest rate fluctuations, or the existence of epidemics, pandemics or other public health crises, political turmoil and geopolitical conflicts, natural catastrophes, warfare, or terrorist attacks on the United States, Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, Japan, or elsewhere, could cause a decrease in business investments, including spending on cloud technologies, and negatively affect the growth of our business. For example, the existing tariffs and continued threats of new or increased tariffs, sanctions, trade restrictions and trade barriers, ongoing changes in the United States and foreign government trade policies, various ongoing military conflicts and rising geopolitical tensions globally, including the ongoing military conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine as well as the rising tensions between China and Taiwan, have created volatility in the global capital markets, have had and may continue to have disruptive impact on the global economy, and could have further global economic consequences, including disruptions of the global supply chain. Tariffs may also increase the costs for AWS, Azure, and/or GCP to provide cloud infrastructure services, which may in turn increase the costs for us to use such services when we renew our agreements with them. In addition, unfavorable conditions in the general economy, including tariffs and trade wars, may negatively impact our customers’ budgets or cash flow, which could impact the contract terms, including payment terms, our customers demand from us. Competitors, many of whom are larger and have greater financial resources than we do, may respond to challenging market conditions by lowering prices in an attempt to attract our customers. We cannot predict the timing, strength, or duration of any economic slowdown, instability, or recovery, generally or within any particular industry. 32 32 32 32 32 32 Table of Contents Table of Contents Table of Contents
