Macroeconomic and Industry Risks The Company’s operations and performance depend significantly on global and regional economic conditions and adverse economic conditions can materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company has international operations with sales outside the U.S. representing a majority of the Company’s total net sales.
In addition, the Company’s global supply chain is large and complex and a majority of the Company’s supplier facilities, including
manufacturing and assembly sites, are located outside the U.S. As a result, the Company’s operations and performance depend
significantly on global and regional economic conditions.
Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, slower growth or recession, new or increased tariffs and other barriers to
trade, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, tighter credit, higher interest rates, high unemployment and currency fluctuations
can adversely impact consumer confidence and spending and materially adversely affect demand for the Company’s products
and services. In addition, consumer confidence and spending can be materially adversely affected in response to financial
market volatility, negative financial news, conditions in the real estate and mortgage markets, declines in income or asset values,
energy shortages and cost increases, labor and healthcare costs and other economic factors.
In addition to an adverse impact on demand for the Company’s products, uncertainty about, or a decline in, global or regional
economic conditions can have a significant impact on the Company’s suppliers, contract manufacturers, logistics providers,
distributors, cellular network carriers and other channel partners. Potential effects include financial instability; inability to obtain
credit to finance operations and purchases of the Company’s products; and insolvency.
A downturn in the economic environment can also lead to increased credit and collectibility risk on the Company’s trade
receivables; the failure of derivative counterparties and other financial institutions; limitations on the Company’s ability to issue
new debt; reduced liquidity; and declines in the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. These and other economic
factors can materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price.
