Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our Form 10-K for the 2025 fiscal year ended January 3, 2026.
Our business could be negatively impacted by political and economic risks, including from the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran and related geopolitical instability, that we are exposed to as a result of our global operations.
We are subject to general political and economic risks in connection with our global operations, including political instability (both in the United States and globally, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the related economic and retaliatory measures), frequent hostilities between Israel and Hamas, persistent conflict in the Red Sea region, terrorist attacks, and changes in diplomatic and trade relationships, any of which may have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Economic uncertainty in the United States and abroad has led to growing concerns about the systemic impact of rising energy costs, geopolitical issues, or the availability and cost of credit and higher interest rates, which could further lead to increased market volatility, decreased consumer confidence, and diminished growth expectations in the U.S. economy and abroad. As our customers react to global economic conditions, we have seen and may see customers reduce spending on our products and take additional precautionary measures to limit or delay expenditures and preserve capital and liquidity, thereby adversely affecting our customers’ ability or willingness to purchase our products.
In addition, in late February 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes against Iran, which retaliated with missile attacks across the region. Although we do not have material operations in the Middle East, the ongoing conflict and any further escalation, including additional military actions, retaliatory measures, sanctions, disruptions to trade or transportation routes, cyberattacks, or other governmental or market responses, has caused, and could continue to cause, significant disruptions of global energy supplies and increases in global energy prices, heightened inflationary pressures on our input costs and supply chain, negative effects on global supply chains, energy markets, commodity prices, currency exchange rates, financial markets and overall macroeconomic conditions, and adversely impact customer spending patterns in markets in which we operate. While we expect the impacts of conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran to continue to have an effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, we are unable to predict the extent or nature of these impacts at this time.
