 has been increasing. We are subject to risks associated with international manufacturing and sales, including changes in regulatory requirements. Refer to Item 1. Business - Government Regulations and Pricing, for changes to tax and import/export laws and trade and customs policies (including the enactment of tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., including but not limited to, goods imported from China), problems related to markets with different cultural norms or political systems, possible difficulties in enforcing agreements, longer payment cycles and shipping lead-times, difficulties obtaining export or import licenses, and imposition of withholding or other taxes.

Recently, the U.S government imposed new and additional tariffs on a significant number of countries and threatened to further increase the scope and amount of tariffs in the event of retaliatory countermeasures. The future of existing tariffs, and the possibility for new tariffs, including tariffs specifically targeting pharmaceuticals, under which many of our U.S. OTC self-care products may be classified, remains uncertain. Through the first half of fiscal year 2025, these new tariffs and trade policies have not had a significant impact on our results of operations. However, as currently in effect, the impact of these new tariffs is expected to materially increase the cost of goods for our products and materials sourced from other countries, particularly China. We expect that the tariffs, as currently in effect, will have a material impact on our U.S. business. As a result of these dynamic conditions and uncertainties, we have modified, and may further modify, our operations and strategic initiatives, including by adjusting our investment priorities, reallocating resources, or delaying specific initiatives, such as deferring capital expenditures on the Nutrition Network Optimization project and seeking further working capital improvements. If we are unable to mitigate these increased costs through supply chain adjustments, pricing strategies or other measures, these costs, as well as the costs incurred in implementing these measures, could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows from operations. 

We cannot predict the extent to which other countries will impose duties, tariffs, taxes or other similar restrictions upon the import or export of goods and materials in the future, nor can we predict future U.S. trade policy or the terms of any renegotiated trade agreements and their impact on our business. Similarly, we cannot predict which of our products will be impacted by tariffs or eligible for exceptions under existing or future trade agreements. In addition, in response to tariffs announced by the United States, other countries have implemented, and may implement additional, retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. Political tensions as a result
