An investment in our company is subject to a number of risks. These risks relate to our business; competition; the healthcare industry; data privacy and cybersecurity; laws surrounding quality, regulation, and compliance; geopolitical megatrends; financing and capital markets activities; and our common stock. Any of these risks and other risks could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Some of the more significant challenges and risks we face include the following:

•We operate in highly competitive markets, competition may increase in the future, and our industry may be disrupted, requiring us to lower prices or resulting in a loss of market share, and our inability to successfully complete strategic transactions could adversely affect our business.

•Global geopolitical instability, such as continuing uncertainties and challenging conditions in regional economies and global economic instability, such as public health crises, have and could in the future adversely affect our business, customers, and suppliers.

•Efforts by public and private payers to control the growth of healthcare costs may lead to lower reimbursements or increased utilization controls related to the use of our products by healthcare providers, which may affect the price of and demand for our products, services, or solutions.

•Our increasing focus on and investment in cloud, edge computing, AI, and software offerings present risks to our business. We may not be successful in driving the global deployment and customer adoption of digital offerings characterized by digital applications and solutions.

•Our inability to manage our supply chain or obtain supplies of components or raw materials, as well as any interruption in the operations of our facilities, our suppliers’, customers’, or third-party providers’ facilities, has restricted, and could continue to restrict, the manufacturing of products, cause delays in delivery, impair our ability to deliver products or provide services or significantly increase our costs.

•If we do not successfully manage our collaboration arrangements, licensing arrangements, joint ventures, or strategic alliances with third parties, we may not realize the expected benefits from such arrangements, which could adversely affect our business.

•Increased cybersecurity requirements, vulnerabilities, threats, and more sophisticated and targeted cyber crimes pose a risk to our systems, networks, products, solutions, services, and data, as well as our reputation, and we may be unable to obtain, maintain, protect, or effectively enforce our IP rights, which could adversely affect
