 trade policies, increased trade restrictions and tariffs, supply chain disruptions, decreased demand, labor shortages, geopolitical issues, inflation, interest rates, the availability and cost of credit and U.S. financial markets and other factors have contributed to increased economic uncertainty. Although inflation in the United States had been relatively low for many years, there was a significant increase in inflation beginning in the second half of 2021, with a general decline beginning in the second half of 2022 and a relative settling in 2023 and 2024. In addition, the U.S. federal government has recently imposed tariffs on international goods, such as those produced in Canada, Mexico and China, and those countries have enacted retaliatory tariffs against the United States. To the extent that any U.S. trade policy results in retaliatory tariffs, such developments could result in inflationary pressures and have an adverse effect on our customers’ business, and reduce demand for use of our services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, hostilities related to the Russia-Ukraine war, the Israel-Hamas conflict and heightened tensions in the Middle East and the occurrence or threat of terrorist attacks in the United States or other countries could adversely affect the global economy. These and other factors, such as declining business and consumer confidence, may contribute to an economic slowdown and a recession. Concerns about global economic health also have a significant adverse impact on global financial markets and commodity prices. If the economic climate in the United States or abroad deteriorates, worldwide demand for oil and natural gas products could diminish, which could impact operations in our areas of operations, affect the ability of our customers to continue operations and ultimately adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

While the financial health of the broader oil and gas industry has shown improvement as compared to prior periods, central bank policy actions and associated liquidity risks and other factors may negatively impact the value of our equity and that of our customers, and may reduce our and their ability to access liquidity in the capital markets or result in capital being available on less favorable terms, which could negatively affect our financial condition and that of our customers. If our customers have difficulty accessing the capital markets, then they may reduce their capital expenditures, which could reduce demand for our water management solutions and ultimately adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

The fees charged to customers under our agreements for the gathering, transportation or handling of produced water may not escalate sufficiently to cover increases in costs.
