 also rely on information technology systems to communicate among our workforce and with third parties. Any disruption to our communications, whether caused by a natural disaster or by man-made problems, such as power disruptions, could adversely affect our business. To the extent that any such disruptions result in development or commercialization delays or impede our partners’ and suppliers’ ability to timely deliver product components, or the deployment of our products, this could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As part of growing our business, we may in the future make acquisitions. If we do not successfully select, execute or integrate our acquisitions, it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and our stock price could decline.

Any failure to successfully identify, complete, manage and integrate acquisitions could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, and could cause our stock price to decline.

Adverse economic conditions or reduced global trade, including as a result of recent and further changes in the tariff and trade policies, may adversely impact our business.

Our operations, performance and growth depend in part on worldwide economic conditions and the impact these conditions have on levels of activity in global trade and ground transportation. The United States and the
