 to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. As a general matter, forward-looking statements are those focused upon future plans, objectives or performance (as opposed to historical items) and include statements of anticipated events or trends and expectations and beliefs relating to matters not historical in nature. Use of words such “anticipates,” “believes,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “plans,” “projects,” “expects,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “targets,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “contemplates,” and similar words may identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to the Company’s operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Such uncertainties and factors could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements.

The following factors, among others, could affect the Company’s future performance and cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements made in this report:

•The overall demand for cable anchoring and control hardware for electrical transmission and distribution lines on a worldwide basis, which has a slow growth rate in mature markets such as the United States (“U.S.”), Canada, Australia and Western Europe and may grow slowly or experience prolonged delay in developing regions despite expanding power needs;

•The potential impact of global economic conditions, including the impact of inflation, recently enacted or future tariffs and related economic uncertainty, and rising interest rates, on the Company’s ongoing profitability and future growth opportunities in the Company’s core markets in the U.S. and other foreign countries, which may experience continued or further instability due to political and economic conditions, social unrest, acts of war, military conflict (such as the Russian-Ukrainian, Israeli-Palestinian and Iranian conflicts), international hostilities or the perception that hostilities may be imminent, terrorism, changes in diplomatic and trade relationships and public health concerns (including viral outbreaks such as COVID-19);

•The ability of the Company’s customers to raise funds needed to build the infrastructure projects their customers require;

•Technological developments that affect longer-term trends for communication lines, such as wireless communication;

•The decreasing demand for product supporting copper-based infrastructure due to the introduction of products using new technologies or adoption of new industry standards;

•The Company’s success at continuing to develop proprietary technology and maintaining high quality products and
