other input costs, including as a result of supply chain issues, shortages or tariffs, could significantly affect our profit margin and could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations if our raw material suppliers, third-party manufacturers, logistics providers or distributors pass along those costs to us.  Certain product categories have been impacted by higher inflation due to, among other things, the continuing impacts of labor shortages, global supply chain disruptions and the uncertain economic and geopolitical environment, including tariffs, which has negatively impacted our gross margin. Although the impact of these increased costs has not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition to date, further input cost increases could have such a material impact.

In this economic environment, the manufacturers we use have increased, and may continue to increase, the cost to us of many of the products we purchase, which has impacted and could continue to adversely affect our margins in the event we are unable to pass along these increased costs to our customers or identify and qualify new manufacturers.  If we are unable to increase the price for our products to our customers or achieve cost savings in a rising cost environment, any such cost increases would likely further reduce our gross margins and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. If we increase the price of our products in order to maintain our current gross margins for our products, the increase may adversely affect demand for, and sales of, our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  We believe that certain of our products could have difficulty absorbing further near-term price increases without potentially impacting market share, which would have a related adverse impact on our revenues.

Volatility in or worsening of economic conditions from high inflation, economic policy, tariffs, increased unemployment, geopolitical conflicts, public health issues and other factors beyond our control could reduce consumer spending, which could adversely impact demand for our products and our results of operations and financial condition.

Our financial performance depends on the stability of conditions that impact consumer spending. Adverse conditions or volatility in financial markets or the economy, including high interest rates, inflation from rising costs, tariffs, unemployment, bank failures, reductions in government assistance and the lack of consumer financing, could adversely impact consumer confidence and reduce disposable income, resulting in reduced consumer spending on our products. Existing volatility in the global economy, including from supply chain issues and rising costs, has
