 and other governments and resulting impact on customer demand may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The implementation of significant changes to U.S. trade policies, sanctions, legislation, treaties and tariffs, including, but not limited to, significant new tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., have introduced uncertainty to our business and will increase the cost of our manufactured products and components sourced outside of the U.S., which will result in an increase to our cost of revenue and a reduction in our gross margin. In response, China announced additional tariffs on U.S. goods and new export control restrictions. The imposition of additional tariffs or other trade barriers by countries outside of the U.S may increase our costs in these markets, and to the extent these increased costs result in increased prices for our customers, the demand for our products may decrease as our customers seek alternative sourcing, making it more difficult for us to sell our products in some markets.

The extent and duration of increased tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and on our business are uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand for our products in affected markets. Other countries where we operate or sell our products may themselves change their own policies on trade as well, which may affect future business and foreign investment in their respective countries. U.S. and foreign policy changes and uncertainty about such changes has resulted in increased market volatility and currency exchange rate fluctuations. To the extent dissatisfaction with U.S. government policy results in U.S.-based suppliers being disfavored over foreign-based alternatives, it may diminish demand for our products with such customers and cause them to find alternative sourcing or otherwise make it more difficult for us to sell more products to these customers.

As a result of these dynamics, we may find it difficult to predict the impact to our business of these and future changes to the trading relationships between the U.S. or other countries or the impact on our business of new laws or regulations adopted by the U.S. or other countries.

If we do not successfully execute our business strategy to increase our sales to new and existing BXPs, our operating results, financial condition, cash flows and long-term growth may be negatively impacted.

Our growth depends upon our ability to increase sales to existing and new service providers of all types and sizes, and the execution of our strategy to increase sales to BXPs involves significant
