KEY TRENDS AFFECTING RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Global Trade and Macroeconomic Environment

Throughout 2025, the U.S. has imposed a variety of new tariffs on most imports from all countries in the world. This in turn prompted several countries to announce tariffs on U.S. imports. While the situation continues to be fluid, tariffs materially impacted our current year profitability and cash flows, primarily the bilateral U.S. and Chinese tariffs and U.S. tariffs on all other global import suppliers. Should the tariffs continue at formally communicated levels, we expect to continue to see a material impact to our financial results through the incurrence of additional costs. Additional tariffs or other trade restrictions by the U.S. or other countries where we do significant business, or other restrictions on specific industries, such as pharmaceuticals, could further materially impact our results in the future. While we are taking actions to mitigate the impact of tariffs, we do not expect to be able to fully offset the additional costs or other negative impacts resulting from the tariffs.

We continue to monitor the global markets in which we operate for changes in customer behavior, changes in government spending and reimbursement, and indirect impacts from the tariffs. Should these factors dampen economic growth, slow global trade, or impact inflation, we could see adverse impacts to our business as our customers adapt to the change in economic environment. We continue to monitor potential impacts on purchasing decisions by both public and private customers in China and other markets as a result of the current trade environment, as well as other actions related to tariffs and trade frictions, investigations, or activities that could similarly increase our costs or otherwise impact our business. In addition, if negative sentiment towards U.S. companies influences the purchasing decisions of global customers, our business could be impacted materially.

China Market

We continue to monitor developments in the market in China. In March 2024, the government in China announced a stimulus program (“2024 stimulus”) that includes the healthcare sector and is being implemented through China’s provinces. We expect the 2024 stimulus program will result in opportunities for our business in China in the longer term, but it has had short-term impacts as provinces develop and announce their plans and customers begin to make purchasing decisions, which has progressed slower than originally anticipated. We expect these delays to continue to impact our orders and revenues in the near
