Increases in tariffs, trade restrictions or taxes on our products could have an adverse impact on our operations.

The commerce we conduct in the international marketplace and our reliance on overseas manufacturing makes us subject to tariffs, trade restrictions and other taxes when the raw materials or components we purchase, and the products we ship, cross international borders. Trade tensions between the United States and China, Canada, Mexico and other countries have been escalating in recent years. Recently, the U.S. presidential administration has announced new tariffs on imports from China, Canada and Mexico and may impose restrictions against other regions. In prior years, U.S. tariff impositions against Chinese exports have been followed by retaliatory Chinese tariffs on U.S. exports to China and this may recur in China as well as Canada and Mexico. Our products are manufactured primarily in Asia, and such countries may in the future be subject to these tariffs. To the extent these tariffs increase our costs of goods sold, it could materially adversely impact our profitability, results of operations and financial condition. To the extent we alter our pricing as a result of such tariffs, it could reduce demand for our products or make our products less competitive than those of our competitors whose inputs are not subject to these tariffs, thereby decreasing our revenues and adversely impacting our results of operations. Products we sell into certain foreign markets could also become subject to similar retaliatory tariffs, making the products we sell uncompetitive compared to similar products not subjected to such import tariffs. We are still evaluating the potential impact of the recently-announced tariffs on our business and financial condition. There can be no assurances that we will not be adversely impacted by such tariffs or that we will be able to pass on any incremental costs to our customers.

Further changes in U.S. trade policies, tariffs, taxes, export restrictions or other trade barriers, or restrictions on raw materials or components may limit our ability to produce products, increase our manufacturing costs, decrease our profit margins, reduce the competitiveness of our products, or inhibit our ability to sell products or purchase raw materials or components, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

We have limited operations in China, but many of our products are sourced from China. Our ability or the ability of our suppliers to operate in China may be impaired by changes in Chinese laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, environmental regulation, restrictions on foreign investment, and other matters.
