What Changed
Risk factors · Mar 5, 2025 → Feb 26, 202640 added · 21 removed between the two most recent 10-Ks. The risks a company starts — or stops — disclosing are often the story.
Newly disclosed
- There was a further consequential hearing on May 16, 2025 which addressed applications concerning interest on the ordered damages, permission to appeal the court’s findings in these matters, as well as the issue of reimbursement of legal fees in the damages phase of the litigation.
- The institution of trade tariffs on items imported by us from other countries could increase our costs, either directly from tariffs incurred on foreign-produced products and components we directly purchase and import into the U.S. or indirectly as a result of our suppliers passing increased tariff-related costs onto us in the form of product and component price increases, which, in either such case, could have a negative impact on our business.
- Proceeds from the 2031 Convertible Notes were used to repurchase $132.0 million of the 2030 Convertible Notes and enter into capped call transactions to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon conversion of the 2031 Convertible Notes.
- One impact of OBBBA was that the ability to deduct research and development expenditures immediately in the year incurred was restored for tax years beginning in 2025 and the ability to deduct research and development costs that were previously capitalized prior to 2025.
- Operational Risks Our business and operations could be adversely impacted in the event of a failure of our information technology infrastructure or adversely impacted by a successful cyber-attack.
- Recent spending by hyperscalers and others to support AI is beginning to pressure supply chains for goods used to manufacture our products.
- Following a consequential hearing on March 20, 2025, the amount was adjusted upwards by $0.5 million related to the resolution of a provisional item.
- It includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses, including extending and modifying certain key Tax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017.
- In recent years, U.S. government appropriations have been affected by larger U.S. government budgetary issues and related legislation, and the U.S. government has been unable to complete its budget process before the end of its fiscal year, resulting in both governmental shutdowns and continuing resolutions providing only enough funds for U.S. government agencies to continue operating at prior-year levels.
- Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and other instances of political and economic instability, including civil unrest, acts of terrorism, war, and other armed conflict, may continue to result in increased inflation, escalating energy and commodity prices and increasing costs of materials.
- The U.S. government has made, and continues to make, significant changes in U.S. trade policy and has taken certain actions that could negatively impact U.S. trade, including imposing tariffs on certain goods imported into the United States.
- In addition, these developments may cause the Company’s customers to reduce their operating or capital expenditure budgets or forgo expansion plans or projects, which could cause them to defer, reduce, or forgo purchases of the Company’s products or services.
No longer disclosed
- In addition, in January 2024, the FAA ordered the temporary grounding of Boeing 737-9 MAX aircraft as a result of an incident where a Boeing 737-9 MAX lost a “door plug.” This incident and the subsequent investigation, and the potential for more issues to be identified during further investigations, could result in a suspension or reduction of manufacturing of 737 MAX aircraft by Boeing.
- For example, in February 2025, the new U.S. presidential administration announced tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China, and then subsequently paused the tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
- This uncertainty includes: (i) the possibility of altering the existing tariffs or penalties on products manufactured outside the United States, including the U.S. government’s 25% tariff on a range of products from China;
- In addition, following an event of default, the lenders under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility will have the right to proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure the debt, which includes our available accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, real estate and intellectual property.
- Any additional amounts required to be paid by the Company related to certain other factors peripheral to the damages award, including reimbursement of legal fees related to the damages proceedings, will be determined at follow-up hearings expected to occur in the first half of 2025.
- While both domestic air travel and international air travel utilizing primarily widebody aircraft have recovered from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, if a global health crisis similar to the COVID-19 pandemic were to occur in the future, we may find it difficult to access our existing financing or obtain additional financing and/or fund our operations and meet our debt service obligations.
- Further, as the amount available to us under our ABL Revolving Credit Facility is subject to borrowing base calculations determined by the value of accounts receivable, inventory, real estate and machinery and equipment, an unexpected decline in the value of these assets would require a mandatory prepayment.
Additionally, our ABL Revolving Credit Facility contains a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on the Company and our subsidiaries and may limit our ability to engage in acts that we believe to be 15 in our long-term best interests.The ABL Revolving Credit Facility include covenants restricting, among other things, the ability of the Company and our subsidiaries to: • incur additional indebtedness; • pay dividends on or repurchase our capital stock; • make certain acquisitions or investments; • sell assets; and • engage in certain business activities.Changes in U.S. administrative policy could lead to changes in existing trade agreements, greater restrictions on free trade generally, and significant increases in tariffs on goods imported into the United States, particularly tariffs on products manufactured in Canada, China and Mexico, among other possible changes.Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war, and prolonged conflict in either such situation, may continue to result in increased inflation, escalating energy and commodity prices and increasing costs of materials.For the year ended December 31, 2024, our stock price ranged from a low of $15.59 to a high of $23.39.
