.S. facilities which are then imported to the U.S. We are therefore subject to risks of doing business in other countries, including those related to tariffs, retaliatory counter measures and further escalation of trade tensions.

The imposition of tariffs by the U.S. government and retaliatory tariffs imposed by other foreign governments is expected to increase our costs. Where possible, we may address increasing supply chain costs in pricing; however, we operate to a large extent under long-term contracts whereby pricing is fixed for a set period of time. The tariffs as currently implemented are likely to have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations; however, the extent to which the imposition of tariffs, possible delays and exemptions may have a material impact remains fluid. 

Additionally, the imposition of higher tariffs could undermine the competitiveness of a U.S. based company in the global market and could result in termination of orders by customers, lower demand for products and the loss of market share. 

A meaningful portion of our global revenues is from products manufactured in our Costa Rica and Mexico manufacturing facilities which are then imported into the U.S. We expect revenues from goods manufactured in Costa Rica and Mexico and imported to the U.S. to remain a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. 

The U.S. administration has continued to engage in trade discussions and impose tariffs on imports from other countries. Certain of these tariffs have been subsequently paused or modified, and the situation remains highly fluid. For example, most recently, on July 31, 2025, the U.S. announced that the 10% baseline reciprocal tariff on imports from all countries would be raised to 15% for certain countries, including Costa Rica. As to the majority of products manufactured in our Mexico facilities, these are currently exempted from tariffs under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement ("USMCA"). If, however, the USMCA exemptions were eliminated in the future, our tariff expense for products manufactured in Mexico would increase substantially.

In September 2025, the U.S. Commerce Department ("the Department") initiated a national security investigation into imports of medical consumables and equipment under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act (the "Act"). The Act allows the President to negotiate tariffs to promote international trade. Section 232 of the Act specifically grants the President the authority to impose tariffs if the Department determines imports threaten U.S. national security. The Department has 270 days to deliver its policy recommendations to the President, who then has up to 90 days to decide on
