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 well as in other documents we file from time to time. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. We have made and expect to continue to make acquisitions and investments that could disrupt our operations and harm our operating results. We intend to continue to develop new products and services and enhance existing products and services through acquisitions of and investments in other companies, technologies and personnel. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the following: •difficulties in integrating the operations, systems, controls, technologies, products and personnel of the acquired businesses; •difficulties in entering markets in which we have no or limited direct prior experience and where competitors in such markets may have stronger market positions; •diversion of management’s attention from normal daily operations of the business and the challenges of managing larger and more widespread operations resulting from acquisitions; and •the potential loss of key employees, customers, distributors, vendors and other business partners of the businesses we acquire. Acquisitions may also cause us to: •use a substantial portion of our cash resources or incur debt; •significantly increase our interest expense, leverage and debt service requirements if we incur additional debt to pay for an acquisition; •assume liabilities; •issue common stock that would dilute our current stockholders’ percentage ownership; •record goodwill and intangible assets that are subject to impairment testing on a regular basis and potential periodic impairment charges; •incur amortization expenses related to certain intangible assets; and •become subject to intellectual property or other litigation. Mergers and acquisitions are inherently risky and subject to many factors outside of our control. We cannot give assurance that our previous or future acquisitions will be successful and will not materially adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition. Failure to manage and successfully integrate acquisitions could materially harm our business and operating results. In addition, our effective tax rate for future periods is uncertain and could be impacted by mergers and acquisitions. -33- From time to time we also make strategic investments. These investments typically involve many of the same risks posed by acquisitions, particularly those risks associated with the diversion of our resources, the inability of the new venture to be successful, the management of relationships with third parties, and potential expenses. Strategic ventures have the added risk that the other strategic venture partners may have economic, business, or legal interests or objectives that are inconsistent with our interests and objectives. Current investments include, and future investments may include, investments in early-stage companies, which investments are inherently speculative. We are subject to risks associated with our investments, including changes in fair value of investments and partial or complete loss of invested capital. Significant changes in the fair value of our investments would cause fluctuations (potentially both positive and negative) in our own financial results.
