Factors Affecting Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We believe that our performance and future success depend on a variety of factors that present significant opportunities for our business but also present risks and challenges that could adversely impact our growth and profitability, including those discussed below and throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the Annual Report.

Overall economic environment

The nature of our business, which involves the sale of products and services that are a medical necessity for many consumers, provides some insulation from swings in consumer sentiment and general economic conditions. However, our performance and growth are still impacted by these factors. Elevated inflation and interest rates may affect consumer sentiment, while tariffs on imported goods, particularly eyewear sourced internationally, exert pressure on our cost structure. Furthermore, the uncertainty surrounding international trade policies and tariffs adds volatility and risk to our operations and financial results.

These factors, individually or collectively, may negatively impact consumer spending habits, contribute to cost headwinds impacting gross margin, and affect our ability to attract and retain customers. We believe our business model, focused on providing an exceptional value and experience to our customers, along with mitigating measures we are taking, will help offset the impact of many of these macroeconomic factors. However, the extent of such mitigation and the impact on future results is uncertain. Our ongoing efforts to diversify and expand our supply chain network, both internationally with our frame manufacturers and domestically with our wholly owned and partner optical laboratories, has been a key strategy which we believe has helped to insulate us from supply chain disruption and allowed us to continue to meet growing customer demand over the last several years while maintaining our exceptional quality and customer satisfaction standards. Recently, we have implemented additional mitigation plans to offset the impact of increasing tariffs, including by continuing to diversify our supplier base in locations outside of China, making strategic price adjustments, and reducing planned expenses. However, given the complexity and fluidity of the global trade environment, these measures may not fully insulate the business from the financial impacts of current or future tariffs, the full extent and timing of which are difficult to predict.
