 interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness will increase even though the amount borrowed may remain the same, and our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, will correspondingly decrease.

General Risk Factors

Global or regional catastrophic events could affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our business may be affected by large- or small-scale terrorist acts, especially those directed against the United States or other major industrialized countries in which we do business, major natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, earthquakes, or other acts of nature, as well as blowouts, epidemics, pandemics, diseases, fires, explosions, industrial accidents, power grid failures, strikes, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, transportation interruption, waste disposal accidents, waterborne illness outbreaks and other events. In addition, world economies and capital markets have been adversely impacted by COVID-19 and its variants, the war in the Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war in the Middle East, and political instability in the United States and elsewhere. Such events could impair our ability to manage our business, disrupt our supply of raw materials and affect production, transportation, and delivery of products. Any of these risks could adversely affect our ability to conduct operations or result in substantial losses to us as a result of damage to and destruction of property and equipment, including property and equipment owned by third parties which our operations rely upon; damage to natural resources, pollution, and other environmental damage, regulatory investigations, suspension or delay of our operations, substantial liability claims, and remediation costs. In addition, such events could cause disruption of regional or global economic activity, which can affect consumers’ purchasing power in the affected areas and, therefore, reduce demand for our products. Such events could affect our operations and the operations of our customers, distributors, suppliers, and other third parties with whom we do business. Alternative facilities with sufficient capacity or capabilities may not be available, may cost substantially more or may take a significant time to start production, each of which could negatively impact our business and results of operations.

Our results of operations may be negatively affected by uncertainty in the financial markets, general macroeconomic conditions and global financial events.

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity may be adversely affected by global economic conditions, including high inflation, credit market conditions, increased unemployment, labor market shortages, supply chain disruptions, reduced levels of consumer and business confidence, commodity (including energy) prices and supply, a recession
