The Southern Company system's operations and business plans depend on the global supply chain to procure equipment, materials, and other resources. The delivery of components, materials, equipment, and other resources that are critical to the Southern Company system's operations has been impacted by domestic and global supply chain disruptions. Future pandemic health events or continued international tensions, including the ramifications of regional or international conflicts, such as those in Ukraine and the Middle East, and any strained relationships between the United States and other countries related to such conflicts, and the impact of trade policies (including tariffs and other trade measures) of the United States and other countries, could further exacerbate global supply chain disruptions. These disruptions and shortages could adversely impact business operations. The constraints in the supply chain also could restrict availability and delay construction, maintenance, or repair of items needed to support normal operations or to continue planned capital investments. Supply chain disruptions and trade policies have contributed to higher prices of components, materials, equipment, and other needed commodities, and these inflationary increases may continue. Further inflation, a continued elevated interest rate environment, further impacts of trade policies, or other economic factors may negatively affect operations and the timely recovery of costs.
