Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 We are not party to any legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits that, individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Refer to Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies within our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors 

Except as set forth below, during the Current Quarter, there were no changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our 2024 Form 10-K.

Existing and potential new trade policies, such as tariffs, could adversely affect our operations, costs and business. 

President Donald Trump has issued a series of executive orders since taking office in January 2025, including executive orders regarding tariffs. Refer to Part I, Item 2.

On July 7, 2025, President Donald Trump extended the tariff modifications through August 1, 2025. Public statements from members of the Trump Administration and President Donald Trump, himself, have indicated that negotiations are continuing with various foreign nations, although an extension of the tariff modification deadline beyond the August 1, 2025 deadline cannot predicted with certainty at this time.

On March 26, 2025, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act imposing a 25 percent tariff on imported automobiles and certain automobile parts. As of July 24, 2025, the procedures required by the Secretary of Commerce to impose these tariffs have not yet been finalized or implemented.
