CIRCOR INTERNATIONAL, INC. (2017-02-16):
I mean, it seems like a lot of things
are pretty fluid with the current administration, and a couple of pro-business legislation could just change
this around very quickly.
 Scott A. Buckhout
Chief Executive Officer, President and Director
Well, certainly, I guess maybe we should make it explicit here, any kind of geopolitical event that takes
supply out of the market could change things very quickly for this market. There's some of our customers
out there who are saying that's what it's going to take and that they're expecting that's ultimately going
to be the trigger.
HPL ELECTRIC & POWER LIMITED (2022-05-27):
The economy is recovering quite well and moving towards the pre-COVID
normal level, and this is reflecting well on our business progress. I'm pleased to inform you that despite the COVID-
led disruptions, global supply chain challenges, raw material inflation and other macro geopolitical factors causing both
energy and put security crisis globally during the year, HPL was still able to grow its revenue by 16% year-on-year to
reach INR 1,014 crores for the financial year '22.
 The company experienced good traction in all its business segments, causing our EBITDA to grow by 5% year-on-year
for financial year '22 to reach INR 125 crores.
UROGEN PHARMA LTD. (2022-11-10):
With the simplified administration and addressable patient population, roughly tenfold that of low-grade UTUC, we expect UGN-102
to have strong and rapid adoption and is positioned at this primary driver of value generation for UroGen's business over the long
term.
 While geopolitical and macroeconomic forces continue to call for financial prudence, we remain confident in our ability to end the
year with around $100 million in cash. We continue to focus on capital preservation and investment in our core assets, specifically
JELMYTO sales growth and UGN-102 development, while carefully scrutinizing capital investments elsewhere.
GENUINE PARTS COMPANY (2022-07-27):
Our emerging technology council comprised of global strategic partners also continues to help inform and advance our
strategies.
 In Europe, our automotive team delivered a terrific quarter as well despite the dynamic geopolitical environment. Sales in
Europe increased 19% in local currency in the second quarter.
GENUINE PARTS COMPANY (2022-07-27):
So we're trying to balance the strength of the first half and our momentum exiting Q2 while being eyes wide open and
prudent about what we see out there. And again, we've already talked about a few of these things with inflation, lingering
COVID conditions, the geopolitical landscape, ongoing supply chain constraints.
 So look on the back half guide for sales, our original plan for the year assumes some normalization of growth rates in the
second half.
CONCORDIA MARITIME AB (2022-08-17):
So the X factors, or the black swans that we need to keep an eye on. Obviously, geopolitical
instabilities with Ukraine, with Taiwan, and how that affects Western energy policy, sanctions and trade flows going
forward. We have the global economic situation and how much this will actually affect demand side.
DELL EMC (2016-01-27):
In 2015, we experienced a sharp decline in
revenues in a significant number of the emerging-market countries we serve as these economies came
under pressure. We experienced business declines in Russia and parts of the Middle East on the back of
geopolitical unrest there. We experienced declines in our business in China as the country faced issues
with their equity and housing markets leading to a lowering of IT imports.
POPULAR, INC. (2023-01-25):
We also believe that the improvement in the risk profile of the corporation's loan portfolio positions Popular to operate successfully
under difficult economic conditions. We remain vigilant and continue to closely monitor changes in [ our ] performance and the
macroeconomic environment, given potential economic headwinds rising interest rates and geopolitical uncertainties.
 Turning to Slide #11.
POPULAR, INC. (2023-01-25):
Looking ahead, I am optimistic about the economic outlook in Puerto Rico, our primary market. While we are aware of the
macroeconomic headwinds related to inflation and geopolitical risk, we are confident that given the amount of similar support from
federal funds, Puerto Rico will continue its growth path, albeit perhaps at a slower pace. 2023 marked Popular's 130th anniversary.
PDS LIMITED (2023-05-12):
In the first 2 quarters, we have achieved high growth while during
the second half, we've witnessed some slowdown. The impact of the macroeconomic and geopolitical factors had a bearing on our
operations. We have witnessed some customer pushbacks due to lower demand and high level of inventory with brands and retailers.
PDS LIMITED (2023-05-12):
So that is one advantage we have in being in the export business.
 Turkey as a country is a little bit under pressure right now because of geopolitical situation and the earthquake that happened. But the
thing is many small, medium-sized businesses disappear.
UNION BANK OF INDIA (2022-05-13):
The economy is on recovery path with activities surpassing pre-pandemic level across sectors. While GDP growth
estimates have come off considering geopolitical developments, India is seen as the fastest-growing major economy in
the world. Inflation concerns meanwhile have meant rising interest rates both globally as well as at home.
GENTEX CORPORATION (2020-07-24):
The good news over the last couple of
years, there's been a lot of supply concerns. Whether that's part shortages or geopolitical issues, you name it. So I mean,
we've become pretty well versed in making sure we've derisked the supply base as best we can anyway.
BHARAT FORGE LIMITED (2022-02-10):
Amit Babasaheb Kalyani
Deputy MD & Executive Director
Actually, the real increase will happen in the Jan to March quarter because energy prices went up in December, we
have seen this quarter. Another thing that I'd like to mention -- so another thing is that, please bear in mind that a lot of
geopolitical and other issues are creating energy cost increases in Europe right now.
 Jinesh K. Gandhi
Motilal Oswal Securities Limited, Research Division
Right, right.
BHARAT FORGE LIMITED (2022-02-10):
spglobal.com/marketintelligence

Look, I think the one thing which worries me is cost and inflation, because in a backdrop where demand isn't or let's
say production isn't at the highest level, costs are escalating for all kinds of, let's say, extraneous reasons. Then I'm a
little worried about Europe because Europe is very sensitive and dependent on a lot of geopolitical issues, whether they
affect raw material supplies, energy supply, supply chain issues, et cetera. And I also expect that a lot of suppliers will go
bankrupt in Europe in the next 6 to 12 months.
BHARAT FORGE LIMITED (2022-02-10):
So oil and gas usage for heating has gone up. And at the same time, we have geopolitical issues,
which are causing cost pressures. So honestly, I can't give you a forward-looking view like that.
LENNOX INTERNATIONAL INC. (2022-07-28):
Europe Commercial HVAC was up mid-single digits at constant currency. The geopolitical environment is
weighing on the market regionally, and supply chain disruptions continue to impact our European operations. Overall, for
the Refrigeration segment, profit rose 73% to $23 million, and segment margin expanded 470 basis points to 13.8%.
ASSURED GUARANTY LTD. (2022-11-08):
This year's third quarter was our best third quarter in international public finance and second best in U.S. public finance in more
than a decade. We believe there's been a permanent shift in the market toward a greater appreciation of our value proposition as the
pandemic, the volatility in the markets and the global economy, geopolitical unpredictability and climate-related natural disasters have
reminded investors of the vulnerabilities of their investments.
 Municipal bond yields, which had risen dramatically in the first half of this year, continued to climb in the third quarter with the
benchmark yield for 30-year AAA GO bonds finishing at 3.9%.
MIND TECHNOLOGY, INC. (2022-12-14):
Recently introduced higher sampling
rates for SeaLink, which produces higher resolution images and configurable systems, have resulted in increased interest in these 3-
dimensional high-resolution systems.
 The ongoing global geopolitical and security situation, particularly in Europe and Asia, continues to highlight the need for our
maritime security and surveillance technology. We have recently experienced increased order activity, particularly for our multi-beam
side scan sonar systems, which we believe is related to these demands.
SKYWORKS SOLUTIONS, INC. (2022-05-03):
And we have the size and scale of our manufacturing assets to support some big important product launches and ramps
in the second half of the calendar year as well in mobile and broad markets. And so we are very well positioned to see
some strong sequential as well as year-over-year growth in the second half of the calendar year, of course, assuming no
worsening of the geopolitical or macroeconomic or pandemic-related issues that we have seen in the past.
 Christopher Caso
Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Research Division
As a follow-up, I'll ask on gross margins.
EVN AG (2022-12-15):
The remaining additional costs
should be reflected in future tariff decisions by the regulatory authorities.
 Due to the recent deterioration of the geopolitical and economic environment, above all, for global supply chains, we had to reassess
the risk and earnings expectations for EVN Group of the international project business of WTE. This resulted already during the
second quarter in impairment losses to goodwill in the international project business and to the residual carrying amount of the 2
combined sludge fired heat and power plants in Moscow.
EVN AG (2022-12-15):
I would like to conclude my presentation for the segments with the Environment segment. The geopolitical developments, being the
war in Ukraine, inflation, pessimistic economic outlooks, and global supply chain issues have changed the earning expectation for
the international project business of WTE. Therefore, right in the second quarter, we had to record impairment losses to goodwill in
the international project business in the amount of EUR 52.9 million, and total residual carrying amount of EUR 50.5 million of the 2
sludge-fired cogeneration plants in Moscow.

EVN AG FY 2022 EARNINGS CALL  DEC 15, 2022
EVN AG (2022-12-15):
The future development of earnings in the Environment Segment is always subject to the progress on international
projects, above all, the large scale project in Kuwait. Progress is subject to geopolitical environment, however, given that segment
results in '21/'22 were influenced by negative one-offs and improvement in earnings is expected in the current financial year.
 With this, I conclude the presentation of this segment.
THOMAS COOK GROUP PLC (2017-11-22):
To date, we've already reduced the cost of our interest on our fixed term debt by around GBP 18 million on
an annualized basis through liability management actions, such as paying down GBP 100 million of fixed-
term debt and replacing bonds with lower coupon rates.
 We'll continue to look for opportunities to further lower our interest costs, and we remain committed
to reducing our fixed term debt, albeit carefully balancing the liquidity needs of the business and the
economic and geopolitical outlook as well as the conditions in the capital markets.
 I'm now going to hand back to Peter, who will update you on our strategic progress.
BANCOLOMBIA S.A. (2022-05-12):
Juan?
Juan Carlos Mora Uribe
President & CEO
Thank you, Jose Humberto. Even though the levels of uncertainty that we are facing not only in Colombia with elections,
but with the global geopolitical conflict, we are positive with this year results. I want to close the call updating our 2022
guidance.
JSC HALYK BANK (2022-03-15):
In 2021, the Kazakhstan economy rebounded substantially throughout the major sectors of economy
on the back of restored business activity, efficient government support measures and oil price recovery. We are saddened
by developments of the current geopolitical situation in the region and greatly hope for the soonest diplomatic resolution of
the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
 We are constantly monitoring the situation and implications it might have on the economy.
JSC HALYK BANK (2022-03-15):
We see that it was a
very high profit, historically high profit for the next year. However, situation and events what are happening right now in
Kazakhstan and in the geopolitics around still have a lot of uncertainties and we would be more on conservative side. So
-- and we will consider and look to the situation, which is developing on a daily basis.
JSC HALYK BANK (2022-03-15):
Basically, I think the question is what is drivers for that growth? Is it something related to geopolitical
risks or your question is whether it's related to our anticipation of, let's say, reduction of GDP? We think that GDP growth
would continue this year because it's pretty much dependent on extraction sector, mineral sector.
BC TECHNOLOGY GROUP LIMITED (2020-08-13):
I guess six months on and the world
has changed dramatically, and everyone on this call have become experts with this medium. COVID-19 itself, along
with geopolitical tensions, have changed the way businesses operate, engage with their customers in a very significant
way in a very short period. We are not immune.
AS VIRSI-A (2023-03-03):
Janis Viba
Chairman of the Board
Yes, and also about key events and to [ comment a little ]. So what basically we think are the key events in '22 is obviously the first
one is this adoption to the reality of geopolitics. Because we remember that we started the year with COVID and we are having
this tragic war in Ukraine, and then we are having also some economic issues in several countries.
AS VIRSI-A (2023-03-03):
And then if we speak shortly about each segment, I will begin with fuel. So what is
happening in fuel is that basically, as mentioned, a lot of geopolitical impact on this because of which the supply chains are getting

USANA HEALTH SCIENCES, INC. (2023-10-25):
You're still probably down 30% or more since 2018. You read about the geopolitical
tensions there. Can you just update us on where you sit today on your outlook for China versus maybe 5 years ago when it seemed like
an entirely different picture?
G. Douglas Hekking
Chief Financial Officer
Yes, Doug, we got someone who's incredibly qualified to answer that question in person.
MOODY'S CORPORATION (2019-10-30):
Issuance and activity increased after 4 consecutive quarters of decline, and was a key driver of our third
quarter operating performance. Central bank actions and falling benchmark rates created issuer-friendly
market conditions, overcoming continued geopolitical uncertainty and bearish global growth forecasts.
 Strong corporate fixed rate bond issuance, driven by opportunistic and M&A-related financing aided MIS
in delivering robust growth in the third quarter.
MOODY'S CORPORATION (2019-10-30):
I'll now discuss Moody's updated full year 2019 guidance.
 Moody's outlook for 2019 is based on assumptions about many geopolitical conditions and macroeconomic
and capital market factors. These include, but are not limited to: interest in foreign currency exchange
rates, corporate profitability and business investment spending, mergers and acquisitions and the level of
debt capital markets activity.
MOODY'S CORPORATION (2019-10-30):
And are able to be pretty candid in
sharing our thoughts and views and hearing their thoughts and views.
 That being said, I think it's difficult to completely separate the relationship with the authorities from
what's going on at a geopolitical level. And so we're behaving conservatively in terms of how we are
thinking about the pace and the nature of the opportunity in China.
MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, INC. (2018-10-23):
While this is positive, deal size is maybe a bit smaller as
subscription revenue is recognized over time and product components are also easier to add over time in
contrast to the one-and-done enterprise deals. We also retain some caution around slow decision-making
by some clients, particularly retailers and potential global macro and geopolitical events that could impact
business investment cycles.
 Shifting to maintenance.
MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, INC. (2018-10-23):

our adjusted EPS and adjusted operating margin guidance. To reiterate, we remain cautious regarding the
retail environment, the global macro environment given geopolitical and economic volatility, and finally,
our cloud transition. So for revenue, with 1 quarter remaining in 2018, we're adjusting our total revenue
guidance from the previous range of $548 million to $560 million to $552 million to $555 million, with a
midpoint estimate of $553.5 million.
TORM PLC (2023-11-09):
This has also brought along a higher volatility level
as the product tanker field has moved closer to the point of full utilization where even small changes in the underlying demand and
supply are creating high volatility in freight rates.
 In recent weeks, another devastating geopolitical conflict in the Middle East has shaken the world. So far, the impact on the product
tanker market has been marginal and more indirect via the oil price volatility, but a potential escalation of the Israel and Hamas
conflict to a broader region could have a more significant impact.
TORM PLC (2023-11-09):
So far, the impact on the product
tanker market has been marginal and more indirect via the oil price volatility, but a potential escalation of the Israel and Hamas
conflict to a broader region could have a more significant impact.
 On top of the geopolitical factors there are, of course, also other drivers that have affected the market, such as refinery maintenance
and temporary export ban in Russia, just to mention a few. The impact of this has nevertheless been smaller and up temporary in
nature.
LEONARDO S.P.A. FY NINE MONTHS (2023-11-09):
And we are now in a good track for the improvement of the free cash
flow that we promised at the very beginning to be one of the priorities.
 Concerning future actions, as we said 6 months ago, we've been working on governance and organization, a geopolitical strategic
positioning of the company and products and technology for the future. So let me update you on the progress in those 3 areas after 6
months of work.
LEONARDO S.P.A. FY NINE MONTHS (2023-11-09):
We cannot do this.
 Let's go now to the second promise to the second activity, which is geopolitical strategic positioning of the company. What to be very
clear, I'm strongly convinced that I -- of course, I discussed this with all our collaborators, executives and people in the company.
SOFTBANK GROUP CORP. (2023-05-11):
It's been very unstable or 1 year. There are big geopolitical risk, including Russia situations, U.S.-China
situations, which are kind of expected status but we have not been able to see any improvements so far. And also towards the end of
the fiscal year, we've been seeing the financial system instability, including Silicon Valley Bank, Credit Suisse and so on, which was
unexpected event for all of us.
SOFTBANK GROUP CORP. (2023-05-11):
So on -- it is going to be a very liquid assets once they go public and the listed company T-Mobile, Deutsche Telekom is
also -- maintain -- give us a good strength in terms of the liquidity as well.
 Regions, looking at the geopolitical situation. This is also important to keep in mind.
SOFTBANK GROUP CORP. (2023-05-11):
So from a stock market perspective, the climate might be better. And the volatility index has been sort of stabilized and geopolitical
risk indicator, which is created by BlackRock. When a surprise risk takes place, you see a huge hike.
SOFTBANK GROUP CORP. (2023-05-11):
In the last quarter, we see sign of improvement. However, from our perspective, that's not exactly the
case because geopolitical risk, Russian, Ukraine, U.S., China [ flexion ] around China, unfortunately, those geopolitical risk in the
last 1 year have not been addressed and we don't see any solution. So we have to keep that risk in mind.
SOFTBANK GROUP CORP. (2023-05-11):
Kana Inagaki
[Interpreted] Inagaki from Financial Times. To Goto-san, in the presentation, you mentioned a lot about geopolitical risks. You
stressed geopolitical risks.
SOFTBANK GROUP CORP. (2023-05-11):
To Goto-san, in the presentation, you mentioned a lot about geopolitical risks. You
stressed geopolitical risks. And you also mentioned that there's no solution.
SOFTBANK GROUP CORP. (2023-05-11):
And you also mentioned that there's no solution. That's why you are very concerned about geopolitical
risks. Without solution against those risks, how are you going to address them?
SOFTBANK GROUP CORP. (2023-05-11):
And we quantify risks and use that information as judgment is very important. Of
course, China is something that we are concerned about from a geopolitical perspective, but Russian-Ukraine issue is the biggest.

IHI CORPORATION (2023-05-09):
In these regards, the original purpose of Project Change, which was to prepare for business transformation is being
fulfilled.
 On the other hand, instability in societies has become the norm, such as COVID-19 and geopolitical instability, including issues in
Ukraine. Under such a business environment, we feel we need to further enhance corporate strength.
ARMSTRONG WORLD INDUSTRIES, INC. (2023-10-24):
I think overall, I think the level of uncertainty remains in the marketplace. Even though the uncertainty was driving a lot of
the back half expectations for softer economic conditions that didn't materialize, I still think given the geopolitical issues and I
think interest rates, there's still some uncertainty around their overall impact on the economy. And I think that gives -- especially
discretionary area of renovation work, I still think there's some pause there.
KB FINANCIAL GROUP INC. (2018-04-19):
For the Korean economy, on the back of global economic recovery and better Korea-China relations, GDP
growth is expected to be around 3%. And with the holding of the summit talks between the 2 Koreas,
geopolitical risk is expected to alleviate, creating an overall favorable backdrop.
 Under such backdrop, underpinned by stable group margin, we plan to grow loans to high-quality SMEs.
NOVELIS INC. (2023-02-06):
Our
fiscal third quarter was difficult with weaker-than-expected results. We projected that macroeconomic headwinds and geopolitical
instability would continue to pressure the business, driving an extraordinary inflationary environment and high energy costs, in
addition to negatively impacting interest rates, aluminum prices and scrap spreads.
 However, the third quarter proved to be even tougher than anticipated.
ENEA AB FY NINE MONTHS (2022-10-26):
Cybersecurity is
our newest business area through the acquisition of AdaptiveMobile Security last year. We continue to see strong development --
solid development of that business area and of course a high attention on the market on cybersecurity enhanced by the geopolitical
environment. Having said that, we also see challenges of the market; energy prices, inflation, higher interest rates do create pressure
for customers and it does affect the investment climate.
ENEA AB FY NINE MONTHS (2022-10-26):
We also see a strong movement driven by efficiency and agility towards what can be called
the Digital telco where the first movers are really setting the scene now to reshaping the industry, basing operations for example on
model cloud technology and cloud operations. Cybersecurity is by no doubt one of the hottest areas in our industry driven by increased
geopolitical tension. We see evidence of attacks almost all the time and we know that mobile networks are strategic and therefore
potential targets.
