Our ability to achieve our environmental sustainability commitments is subject to numerous risks, many of which are outside of our control. In addition, standards for tracking and reporting on sustainability matters, including climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, have not been harmonized and continue to evolve. Methodologies for reporting sustainability data may be updated and previously reported sustainability data may be adjusted to reflect improvement in availability and quality of third-party data, changing assumptions, changes in the nature and scope of our operations, and other changes in circumstances. Our processes and controls for reporting sustainability matters across our operations are evolving along with multiple disparate standards for identifying, measuring, and reporting sustainability metrics, including climate-related disclosures that may soon be required by the California climate legislation and European Union climate legislation, which will require reporting disclosures on the Corporate Sustainability Report Directive starting as early as 2026 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, which could result in significant revisions to our current environmental goals, reported progress in achieving such goals, or ability to achieve such goals in the future.

Legal proceedings and environmental matters have and may continue to impact our results of operations, cash flows and business.

Various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings have been brought or asserted against us relating to matters arising in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to commercial and government contracts, labor and employment, employee benefits, intellectual property, environmental, securities, and non-income tax matters. We are also subject to a variety

of legal and environmental compliance risk, including with respect to predecessor company operations, which have led or may lead to lawsuits and environmental remedial actions at former or third-party sites. Significant current matters are disclosed in Note 18, “Litigation and contingencies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Regardless of the outcome of any individual matter, litigation and environmental matters have impacted and could continue to impact our results of operations, cash flows and business. In addition, legal proceedings or environmental matters may arise in the future with respect to our existing and legacy operations that may adversely affect our business.

If we fail again to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, our ability to report timely and accurate financial results or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired, and our business and operating results may be adversely affected.

If we fail again to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, we will not be able to conclude on
