Synopsys removed its standalone COVID-19 pandemic risk factor, consolidating pandemic-related concerns into a broader catastrophic events risk that encompasses climate change and other unexpected disruptions. The company substantively modified six risk factors, including revisions to tax-related disclosures and financial realization risks, while maintaining 20 unchanged risks that reflect ongoing operational and business concerns.
