 rely on our past results as an indication of our future performance. We may continue to experience fluctuations in our operating results as a result of these factors.

We have in the past and may in the future fail to meet our publicly announced guidance or other expectations about our business and future operating results, which could adversely affect our business, reputation and financial results and cause our stock price to decline.

From time to time, we announce earnings guidance and other expectations regarding the future performance of our business in our quarterly and annual earnings conference calls, quarterly and annual earnings releases, or otherwise, that represents our management’s estimates as of the date of such disclosure. This guidance includes forward-looking statements based on projections prepared by our management. Projections are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that are based on information known when they are issued, and, while presented with numerical specificity, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies relating to our business, many of which are beyond our control and are based upon specific assumptions with respect to future business decisions, some of which will change. It can be expected that some or all of the assumptions underlying any guidance furnished by us will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. From time to time, we provide possible outcomes as high and low ranges, but these are not intended to imply that actual results could not fall outside of the suggested ranges. 

Our actual business results may vary significantly from such guidance due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, including our customers’ demand for our Growth Direct systems, the length of the sales cycle for purchases of our systems, customer site readiness and the lead time needed for validation of our systems prior to customers using and purchasing our consumables, the costs of manufacturing and shipping our products or of providing services to our customers, as well as the impact of global economic uncertainty and financial market conditions, such as recently imposed and potential future tariffs, geopolitical events, such as conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, rising inflation, rising interest rates, and public health crises, all of which have in the past and may in the future adversely affect our business and operating results. For example, guidance that we provide is based on system purchase order commitments that we have in hand or expect to receive in the future, which may not be a reliable indicator. We recognize revenue upon the delivery of our systems to customers, at which point we also classify such systems as placed. Delivery of our systems to customers is dependent on a number of factors
