 from products manufactured at our non-U.S. facilities which are then imported to the U.S. We are therefore subject to risks of doing business in other countries, including those related to tariffs, retaliatory counter measures and further escalation of trade tensions.

The imposition of tariffs by the U.S. government and retaliatory tariffs imposed by other foreign governments is expected increase our costs. Where possible, we may address increasing supply chain costs in pricing; however, we operate to a large extent under long-term contracts whereby pricing is fixed for a set period of time. The tariffs as currently implemented are likely to have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations; however, the extent to which the imposition of tariffs, possible delays and exemptions remains fluid. 

Additionally, the imposition of higher tariffs could undermine the competitiveness of a U.S. based company in the global market and could result in termination of orders by customers, lower demand for products and the loss of market share. 

A meaningful portion of our global revenues is from products manufactured in our Costa Rica and Mexico manufacturing facilities which are then imported into the U.S. We expect revenues from goods manufactured in Costa Rica and Mexico and imported to the U.S. to remain a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. 

In January of 2025, the current presidential administration first issued executive orders imposing tariffs on imported goods from Mexico, and China. Tariffs initially imposed were 25% on certain goods from Mexico and 10% on all goods from China. Currently the majority of products manufactured in our Mexico facilities are exempted from tariffs under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement ("USMCA"). If the USMCA exemptions were eliminated in the future, our tariff expense for products manufactured in Mexico would increase substantially. On April 2, 2025, the U.S. further announced a 10% baseline reciprocal tariff on imports from all countries, plus an additional country-specific tariff on imports from select trading partners. On April 9, 2025, the U.S. implemented a 90-day pause on the country-specific tariffs for all countries except China, while maintaining the 10% baseline tariff. 

These actions have resulted, and are expected to further result, in retaliatory measures on U.S. goods by other foreign governments. If maintained, these recently announced tariffs, and the potential escalation of trade disputes could pose a risk to our business that could further affect our financial condition or results of operations and/or cash flows, as well as, our long-term investment
