ably impact our future sales. Any inability to maintain sufficient product quantities as sales increase, or to anticipate future decreases in product demand for any reason, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Significant additional labeling or warning requirements or limitations on the marketing or sale of our products may inhibit sales of our products.

Various jurisdictions may adopt additional product labeling or warning requirements or limitations on the marketing or sale of our products as a result of, among other things. the ingredients we use or allegations that our products cause adverse health effects. If these types of requirements become applicable to one or more of our products, they may inhibit sales of such products. For example, under one such law in California, known as Proposition 65, if the State has determined that a substance causes cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, a warning must be provided for any product sold in the state that exposes consumers to that substance, unless the exposure falls under an established safe harbor level or another exemption is applicable. During 2024, we became subject to allegations that we are violating Proposition 65, which we believe is without merit. If we were required to add Proposition 65 warnings on the labels of one or more of our products produced for sale in California, the resulting consumer reaction to the warnings and possible adverse publicity could negatively affect our sales both in California and in other markets. In addition, we are aware of ongoing efforts in the U.S. and in certain foreign countries to seek governmental review of the energy drink industry, including with respect to advertising claims, health claims, caffeine content, and marketing to individuals under the age of 18. Should we become the target of government review or experience limitations on or additional requirements with respect to the marketing or sale of our products, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be materially, adversely impacted.

Our continued expansion outside of the U.S. exposes us to uncertain conditions and other risks in international markets.

We have sales of products internationally in a variety of markets, and most recently began distribution through third-parties in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, the Republic of Ireland, France and Monaco, and Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands. In 2024, we established our international operations hub in Dublin, Ireland to, among other things, better support our international expansion goals. In support of these goals, we aligned our global operating model with international business strategies and evolving tax
