 be, defective, we may be required to participate in recalls and exchanges of such devices or customer claims against us. The future cost associated with providing product warranties and/or bearing the cost of repair or replacement of our solution, or a refund of customer expenses, could exceed our historical experience and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our current operations are international in scope, and we plan further geographic expansion, creating a variety of operational challenges.

A component of our growth strategy involves the further expansion of our operations and customer base internationally. We are continuing to adapt to and develop strategies to address international markets, but there is no guarantee that such efforts will have the desired effect. For example, we anticipate that we will need to establish relationships with new partners in order to expand into certain countries, and if we fail to identify, establish, and maintain such relationships, we may be unable to execute on our expansion plans. We intend to increase the scope of our international activities as we continue to pursue opportunities in existing and new international markets, which will require significant dedication of management attention and financial resources.

Our current and future international business and operations involve a variety of risks, including:

•challenges in recruiting, training, and retaining qualified employees, particularly in markets where we have not historically operated;

•slower than anticipated availability and adoption of our solution, or of cloud technologies in general, by existing or potential customers in our target geographies;

•changes in a specific country’s or region’s political or legal and regulatory environment, including the impact of elections and other governmental changes, political instability, and political disputes;

•the economic environment or conditions in each country or region in which we operate;

•disruptions from human-caused or natural disasters (including public health crises) or extreme weather (including as a result of climate change), geopolitical events (including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East, or increasing tensions between China and Taiwan) and security issues (including terrorist attacks, armed hostilities, and political conflicts), labor or trade disputes, tariff and trade policy changes contemplated and implemented by the U.S. government (including export quotas, custom duties, or other trade restrictions), and similar events;
