 compete and have negatively affected spending on consumer discretionary products.  In addition, our facilities are located throughout the world and could be subject to damage from terrorism incidents or from fires, floods, earthquakes or other natural or man-made disasters.  Terrorist incidents could also lead to increased border security which could in turn negatively impact our global supply chain by causing shipping delays or shortages in key materials or components, increasing the cost of such goods or requiring us to keep greater inventories, any of which may adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

We are currently operating in a period of geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing military conflict between Russia and the Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East, which have significantly contributed to economic uncertainty, capital market disruption and supply chain interruptions in the U.S. and global markets.  While the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are unpredictable, they could continue to lead to market disruptions, including supply chain interruptions and significant volatility in commodity prices, and in credit and capital markets.  These conflicts may lead to sanctions and other penalties being levied or taken by various countries against Russia, Iran or other countries involved in these conflicts by the U.S., the EU, and other countries.  Escalation of, or new geopolitical conflicts, could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets, potentially further disrupting the supply chain for necessary components and raw materials used by us or our suppliers in producing products.  Any of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

Our business is susceptible to adverse weather conditions or events.

Our success is in part affected by adverse weather conditions, including fires, floods, tornadoes, severe cold and other natural disasters. Such events have the tendency to create fluctuations in demand for our products which may increase our expenses and reduce our profitability.  Moreover, our profitability is affected by our ability to successfully manage our inventory levels and demand for our products, which, in part depends upon the efficient operation of our production and delivery systems. These systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from the aforementioned natural disasters.  Such natural disasters could adversely impact our ability to meet delivery requirements of our customers, which may result in our need to incur extra costs to expedite production and delivery of product to meet customer demand. Any of these events could negatively impact our profitability.
