, we must comply with complex, uncertain, and evolving laws, rules, and regulatory requirements across federal, state, and international jurisdictions. If we fail to successfully address these challenges, risks, and variables, our business, operating results, financial condition, and prospects may be adversely affected. 

Impact of Macroeconomic Developments

The United States government has implemented, or threatened to implement, tariffs on some or all of the goods imported into the United States from a number of other countries around the world. We purchase a portion of the equipment that we use to operate our network from suppliers located outside the United States and we also purchase this equipment from United States suppliers that themselves purchase components from suppliers located outside the United States. As a result of these actual and potential U.S. tariffs, we are working with our suppliers to assess the potential impact of tariffs on our equipment purchases and taking actions when practical to adjust where we source the equipment we use to operate our network in the United States and in locations outside of the United States. At the time of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are continuing to assess the expected financial impact of the U.S. tariffs on our capital expenditures related to the operation of our global network. 

In addition, in response to the tariffs implemented or threatened by the United States, many of the countries subject to these tariffs have themselves implemented or threatened to implement tariffs, taxes, or other retaliatory measures on U.S. goods or services or U.S. companies, or have restricted or threatened to restrict the operations of certain U.S. companies in those countries. The implementation, or threatened implementation, of tariffs, taxes, and other restrictions on goods, services, or businesses by the United States and other countries and the resulting additional costs and uncertainties may cause the costs of our products to increase. Additionally, future tariffs could cause the costs of the equipment we use to operate our global network to increase, corporate spending to become delayed or curtailed, increase rates of inflation, reduce economic growth rates, create an economic downturn or recession, or result in other similar or unexpected adverse effects on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

We are closely monitoring macroeconomic developments and global events, such as the tariffs described above and conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine and the potential worsening or expansion of those conflicts and other areas of geopolitical tension around the world, and other geopolitical events such as elections and other governmental changes, and, in each case, how they may adversely impact our and our customers’ businesses.
