Summary of Risk Factors Other than as described herein, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors described in Part I Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report. ​ Global economic conditions, including geopolitical conflict and instability, give rise to operating and market risk exposure. Economic conditions around the world, and in certain industries and geographic regions in which the Company does business, impact sales price and volume and the efficacy of the Company's supply chain. For example, long-term market uncertainty, economic impacts driven by trade policies and inflationary pressures, and higher input costs have reduced demand for the Company's products and led to shipping and payment delays. Adverse economic conditions have also caused supply chain constraints. These factors have had and are continuing to have a negative impact on the Company's results of operations. Additionally, political conditions or tensions; war, invasion or conflict, including new and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, such as the recent conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran, which began in February 2026 and has resulted in volatility and disruption of the global energy market and increased prices for raw materials, and the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine; terrorism; epidemics; pandemics; or political instability in the geographic regions or industries in which the Company operates or sells its products, have created and could continue to create volatility in global demand and the timing of orders for the Company's products, and have disrupted and could continue to disrupt the supply chains, assets or operations of the Company and/or its joint ventures. The situation remains fluid and the ongoing conflict may result in additional economic sanctions or other measures. These factors have had, and may continue to have, negative impacts on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. These impacts have included and may continue to include decreased sales; supply chain and logistics disruptions; volatility in foreign exchange rates and interest rates; inflationary pressures on and availability of raw materials and energy; and heightened cybersecurity threats. The intensity and duration of conflicts in the Middle East, including the recent conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran, and the potential for the expansion of hostilities in the region, are difficult to predict and could further disrupt the Company's supply chains and operations, which could have a negative impact on the Company's results of operations. In addition, volatility and disruption of financial markets have limited and could continue to limit the ability of the Company’s customers and suppliers to obtain adequate financing to maintain operations, which could result in a decrease in sales volume and have a negative impact on the Company’s results of operations. If the Company fails to effectively manage such risks, it could have a negative impact on its results of operations. ​
