For risk factors related to our business, reference is made to Item 1A, "Risk Factors," contained in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
We are subject to U.S. and international governmental export and import controls that could adversely impact our supply chain, subject us to liability, impair our ability to compete and otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
The United States and various foreign governments have imposed controls, export license requirements and restrictions on the import or export of certain products, technologies, and software. For example, the U.S. government has imposed controls restricting the ability to send certain products and technology related to lasers, semiconductors, semiconductor manufacturing and supercomputing to and within China and additional destinations and is expected to further expand these controls. These controls may impact our ability to export certain products and technology to China and other destinations and restrict our ability to use certain components in our products.

Foreign governments also impose trade restrictions and retaliate in ways that could adversely impact our business, for example by imposing export control regimes placing export or other license requirements or restrictions on certain products or materials. These restrictions could increase the cost of, or delay or prevent the shipment of, components or inputs used to produce our products. For example, in June 2026, China implemented enhanced export declaration requirements for certain machine tools, unmanned aerial systems and related components. These new requirements impose more stringent documentation, classification, and reporting obligations on exporters that have resulted in increased compliance costs and longer customs clearance times. If we are unable to mitigate the supply chain disruptions caused by China’s new customs requirements, we expect it to increase our operational complexity, continue to disrupt our production and have a material negative impact on our revenue and profitability in future periods.
We must export our products in compliance with applicable export controls, and we may not always be successful in obtaining necessary export licenses. Denials of export licenses or limitations imposed by such laws on our ability to export or sell our products may harm our international and domestic revenues. Furthermore, noncompliance by us or any of our customers with these laws could have negative consequences, including government investigations, penalties and reputational harm. Any failure by us or any of our customers to adequately comply with these laws could result in civil fines or suspension or loss of our export privileges, as well as substantial expense and diversion of management resources and attention, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
