 limited to, continuing to add regional sourcing and manufacturing capabilities and capacity to complement our existing global supply chain. We’re strengthening our supply base and manufacturing footprint in the US and other strategic jurisdictions around the world as part of our overall capacity strategy to grow with customer demand in the US and other jurisdictions.

The imposition of U.S. tariffs and foreign country retaliatory tariffs, or the proposed imposition of additional or similar tariffs, in jurisdictions where we have manufacturing facilities or where our clients operate will increase our cost of doing business and could significantly impact our financial performance.

We are continually analyzing and implementing strategic measures in an effort to minimize the financial and operational impacts of the new and proposed tariffs on our business operations, including, but not limited to, continued expansion of domestic manufacturing, alternative sourcing of components and parts regionally, increased sourcing of components and parts that qualify under applicable trade agreements, and continued evaluation of our ability to incorporate tariff impacts into pricing decisions for our products and services.

We are also continually monitoring the evolving macroeconomic environment, including monitoring inflationary and recessionary pressures resulting from the ongoing tariffs and geopolitical climate. These additional pressures could significantly impact the labor markets, exchange rates, customer demand, supply chain, capital markets and other economic conditions in the jurisdictions we operate throughout 2025 and beyond. As we monitor this ever-changing situation, we have been adjusting, and will continue to adjust, our operational plans in an effort to mitigate the impact of these pressures on our business and financial performance.

•Capacity Expansion: We have invested in capacity expansion to meet current and anticipated additional customer demand. For example, since late 2021, we have approximately doubled our manufacturing capacity for switchgear, busbar and integrated solutions by opening new facilities and adding production to existing facilities. Additionally, in 2024, in order to support our thermal management activity, we opened a new manufacturing facility in Pune, India and a new facility in Pelzer, South Carolina to support the production of modular solutions, modular power systems and other infrastructure systems. We anticipate continuing to invest in capacity globally to provide the geographic presence that our customers need, and the ability to rapidly scale and to ensure resiliency. 

We have expanded our rack and cabinet solutions capabilities through the strategic acquisition of Great Lakes for approximately $200 million, completed on August 20, 2025. This acquisition strengthens Vertiv's position in delivering integrated infrastructure solutions for data centers and critical digital environments, particularly in addressing the growing demands of AI and high-density computing applications.
