In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as further updated and supplemented below, which could materially affect our business, results of operations, and financial conditions. These risks are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
Our operating results may be impacted by the effects of, and changes in, worldwide economic conditions, geopolitical tensions, international trade, tariffs and retaliatory countermeasures, export controls, foreign localization requirements and other trade barriers, global trade wars or domestic preferences, any of which could increase our costs and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our global business, operations, and the execution of our business strategies and plans are subject to global competition and economic and geopolitical risks that are beyond our control, such as, among other things, tariffs and retaliatory countermeasures, trade barriers and other governmental protectionist measures impacting international trade agreements or imposing trade restrictions, including requirements that our equipment be localized or sourced in-country for public tenders opportunities, any of which can negatively affect us. Geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing conflict involving Iran, have contributed to uncertainty in the broader macroeconomic environment, including volatility in energy markets and continued concerns regarding inflation and interest rates. Additionally, heightened geopolitical tensions and uncertainties related to trade wars have caused economic disruption and uncertainty, which may impact customer spending, project timing, and overall demand for the Company's products. These factors may continue to negatively affect our financial results and operating cash flows. We are unable to predict the extent or duration of these impacts, including the effect of any further escalation or related governmental or market responses, on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
There is currently significant uncertainty about future trade relationships between the United States and various other countries, most significantly Russia, Canada, Mexico, and China. Further escalation of specific trade tensions, including those between the U.S. and China, or more broadly in global trade conflicts, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business and operations. The U.S. government and other governments have imposed export controls and tariffs on certain products and certain components that we import into, and export out of, the United States, and we, our customers, suppliers, and partners may become subject to additional tariffs and export controls and our products and services may be subject to increased competition outside of the United States. China continues to expand localization requirements that could require us to localize manufacturing or source local components, or to otherwise modify our business operations. Compliance with those requirements could increase our costs or delay or prevent sales and reduce demand for our equipment. In addition, geopolitical tensions could result in, among other things, cyberattacks, supply chain disruptions, higher energy and other commodity costs, lower demand, changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets. Additional tariffs and trade restrictions may result in increased manufacturing costs and product pricing, further supply chain disruptions, limit access to end markets and lower profitability. We also generate a significant amount of our revenue outside of the United States which may be adversely affected by tariffs and trade controls imposed by other countries. Revenue generated from outside of North America accounted for approximately 32.9% of our net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and approximately 37.1% of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025, and international sales are expected to remain a material percentage of our total revenue in future periods. If we are not successful in offsetting the impact of tariffs, export controls, trade barriers, localization requirements and other geopolitical disruptions, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies in our business and operations may result in legal liability, regulatory action, increased compliance obligations, competitive or reputational harm, ethical or other concerns and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We use artificial intelligence, including generative artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, such as deep learning, in certain business operations and rely on third-party products and services that incorporate artificial intelligence technologies. Artificial intelligence systems, particularly generative artificial intelligence and artificial intelligence tools used in software development, may produce inaccurate, biased, misleading, incomplete, or defective outputs, including code errors, security vulnerabilities or intellectual property issues, and reliance on such outputs or on artificial intelligence systems designed, trained, operated or used by vendors or other third parties could expose us to liability, regulatory scrutiny or reputational harm. In particular, security vulnerabilities in our, or vendor generative AI tools, may create attack vectors exposing our data and/or systems. Artificial intelligence tools may also mishandle sensitive information in ways which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If competitors or other third parties adopt artificial intelligence more quickly or effectively than us, our competitive position, reputation and operations could be adversely affected. Further, there can be no assurance that our use of artificial intelligence will increase our efficiency or profitability as its cost increases, or be beneficial to our business.
Laws and regulations governing artificial intelligence technologies are rapidly evolving and complex, including in the areas of intellectual property, cybersecurity, privacy and data protection, employment, consumer protection, product liability, securities, defamation and other areas. Existing and proposed laws and regulations in the United States and the European Union, including the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act and a growing number of U.S. state artificial intelligence laws, may impose additional governance, transparency, assessment, monitoring, reporting and other compliance obligations on companies that develop, deploy or use artificial intelligence tools, including third-party artificial intelligence tools.
Although we have implemented and continue to enhance policies, procedures and governance controls intended to help address certain risks presented by these technologies, our employees may not fully abide by those controls and these measures may not fully address or prevent legal, regulatory, operational, reputational, ethical or other risks. Compliance with evolving artificial intelligence laws, regulations and industry standards relating to artificial intelligence may impose significant costs, require changes to our governance processes or business practices, limit our ability to develop, deploy or use artificial intelligence technologies in our business, or expose us to regulatory inquiries, investigations, enforcement actions, litigation or other claims. There has been an increase in artificial intelligence-related litigation and government regulatory actions targeting the design, deployment and other uses of artificial intelligence and claiming liability under numerous areas of law, such as consumer protection, product liability, privacy, intellectual property, employment, securities, and defamation. Any of these risks could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
