We aim to help create a world where critical technologies always work, and where we empower the vital applications of the digital world.

Outlook and Trends

Below is a summary of trends and events that are currently affecting, or may in the future affect, our business, operations and short-term outlook:

•Trade and Economic Uncertainty: The global trade and economic environment continues to evolve rapidly with the imposition of new U.S tariffs and retaliatory tariffs being imposed by foreign countries. In response to these escalating pressures and the geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties surrounding global supply chains and customer demand, we continue to pursue our supply chain strategy of supplier and geographic resilience. This includes, but is not limited to, continuing to add regional sourcing and manufacturing capabilities and capacity to complement our existing global supply chain. We’re strengthening our supply base and manufacturing footprint in the US and other strategic jurisdictions around the world as part of our overall capacity strategy to grow with customer demand in the US and other jurisdictions.

The imposition of U.S. tariffs and foreign country retaliatory tariffs, or the proposed imposition of additional or similar tariffs, in jurisdictions where we have manufacturing facilities or where our clients operate will increase our cost of doing business and could significantly impact our financial performance.

We are continually analyzing and implementing strategic measures in an effort to minimize the financial and operational impacts of the new and proposed tariffs on our business operations, including, but not limited to, continued expansion of domestic manufacturing, alternative sourcing of components and parts regionally, increased sourcing of components and parts that qualify under applicable trade agreements, and continued evaluation of our ability to incorporate tariff impacts into pricing decisions for our products and services.

We are also continually monitoring the evolving macroeconomic environment, including monitoring inflationary and recessionary pressures resulting from the ongoing tariffs and geopolitical climate. These additional pressures could significantly impact the labor markets, exchange rates, customer demand, supply chain, capital markets and other economic conditions in the jurisdictions we operate throughout 2025 and beyond.
