-U.S. customers will intensify competition for many of our BDS products. Our BGS segment faces competition from many of the same strong U.S. and non-U.S. competitors facing BCA and BDS. Furthermore, we are facing increased international competition and cross-border consolidation of competition, and U.S. procurement and compliance requirements that could limit our ability to be cost-competitive in the international market. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against our current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures we face will not result in reduced revenues and market share.

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from non-U.S. sales and are subject to the risks of doing business in other countries. 

In 2024, non-U.S. customers, which include foreign military sales (FMS), accounted for approximately 46% of our revenues. We expect that non-U.S. sales will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. We are subject to risks of doing business internationally, including:

•changes in regulatory requirements or other executive branch actions, such as Executive Orders;

•changes in the global trade environment, including potential deterioration in geopolitical or trade relations between countries;

•disputes with authorities in non-U.S. jurisdictions, including international trade authorities;

•tariffs, duties or penalties attributable to the importation of raw materials, parts, products and services, which could impact sales and/or delivery of products and services outside the U.S. and/or impose costs on us, our suppliers or our customers;

•changes to U.S. and non-U.S. government policies, including sourcing restrictions, requirements to expend a portion of program funds locally and governmental industrial cooperation or participation requirements;

•fluctuations in international currency exchange rates;

•volatility in international political and economic environments and changes in non-U.S. national priorities and budgets, which can lead to delays or fluctuations in orders;

•the complexity and necessity of using non-U.S. representatives and consultants;

•the uncertainty of the ability of non-U.S. customers to finance purchases, including the availability of financing from the Export-Import Bank of the United States;

•uncertainties and restrictions concerning the availability of funding credit or guarantees;

•imposition of domestic and international taxes, export controls, tariffs, embargoes, sanctions and other trade restrictions;

•the difficulty of management and operation of an enterprise spread over many countries;

•compliance with a variety of non-U.S. laws, as well as U.S. laws affecting
