 tensions, particularly between the United States and China, have led to increased tariffs and trade restrictions, including tariffs applicable to certain raw materials and components for our products. We have taken measures with the intention of mitigating the effect of tariffs and the impact of AD/CVD and UFLPA on our business by reducing our reliance on China and enhancing our U.S.-based and global supply chain, including through our investment in Alpha Steel. Effective April 5, 2025, the United States imposed a universal 10% tariff on most imports into the United States, excluding certain trade agreements. Since then, the United States also imposed a 145% tariff on goods imported from China, and China imposed a retaliatory 125% tariff on goods imported from the United States. As of the date of this prospectus, matters involving tariffs continue to evolve and change, including in some cases, implementation of temporary pauses on certain announced tariffs as negotiations on final trade deals occur. Depending on the terms of our existing contracts with customers, we may not in all cases be able to fully recover the increased cost of tracker systems currently being manufactured for our customers by our international vendors due to higher tariffs currently in place, which has and may continue to impact our expected profitability under certain contracts.
