Risk Change Over Time
- Debt & Financing - Risk 1Although we have reduced our level of indebtedness, our access to and cost of borrowing, as well as our ability to service or refinance debt, could still be adversely affected by market conditions and other factors.
We utilize indebtedness as part of our capital structure and may incur additional indebtedness in the future. While we have reduced our outstanding debt levels, our ability to service existing debt, refinance indebtedness or obtain additional financing on favorable terms depends on a number of factors, including our operating performance, cash flows, credit ratings and general economic and market conditions. A portion of our indebtedness is scheduled to mature in July 2027 and our ability to repay, refinance or extend such obligations depends on our financial results, available liquidity, and access to the credit and capital markets. If we are unable to refinance or otherwise address these maturities on acceptable terms, our financial condition, results or operation or financial flexibility could be adversely affected. Our access to the credit and capital markets and the cost of any future borrowings may be adversely affected by deterioration in market conditions, changes in interest rates, tightening of credit markets or a downgrade of our credit ratings or outlook. Any such developments could limit our financial flexibility, increase borrowing or hedging costs, or restrict our ability to fund capital expenditures, pursue strategic initiatives, or respond to business opportunities, which could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.

- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Increased scrutiny from investors and others regarding our corporate social responsibility initiatives, including environmental, social and other matters of significance relating to sustainability, and changing regulatory requirements around ESG could result in additional costs or risks and adversely impact our reputation.
Investor advocacy groups, certain institutional investors, investment funds, other market participants, shareholders, customers, employees and regulators have increasingly focused on ESG or "sustainability" practices of companies. We have a publicly announced global strategy to achieve significant, measurable goals across a range of important environmental and social sustainability issues, including, renewable energy, responsible material sourcing, water use and chemical management and waste reduction. We have also set science-based targets around greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) reductions. We rely on our supply chain partners to meet certain of our targets, including our scope 3 GHG emissions reduction goals; however, our supply chain is complex and almost entirely comprised of parties not within our control. It is possible that stakeholders may not be satisfied with our ESG targets, practices or the speed of adoption or that we may not be successful in achieving our goals on the timelines set or at all, which could negatively impact our brands, our reputation, and customer and employee retention. In addition, we are susceptible to risks associated with changing stakeholder attitudes regarding environmental, social and political issues and consumer perceptions of our position on these issues. Discrepancies between disclosed ESG targets or progress and actual outcomes may expose us to securities litigation, regulatory enforcement or consumer protection claims. In addition, many jurisdictions in which we and our suppliers operate have begun enacting new ESG and climate legislation and regulations. Such proposed and/or enacted regulations include expanded disclosure requirements regarding GHG emissions and other climate-related information, including disclosure of climate-related risks and independent auditors providing some level of attestation to the accuracy of such disclosures. Evolving product safety, environmental, and chemical-regulation requirements, including restrictions on certain chemicals may require changes to materials, suppliers, testing procedures or product assortments and could increase costs or limit availability of certain products. In addition, environmental and product-lifecycle regulations, including extended producer responsibility regimes for packaging and other materials, may impose additional fees, reporting, take-back, or recycling obligations that could increase compliance costs and operational complexity. Our ability to comply with any such new ESG and/or climate laws and regulations may lead to increased costs and operational complexity and/or we may be required to divert costs and resources in order to comply with ESG frameworks, and legal, legislative and regulatory requirements. Any failure on our part to comply with such ESG-related regulations could lead to adverse consumer actions and/or investment decisions by investors, as well as expose us to government enforcement action and/or private litigation.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Our share price may periodically fluctuate based on forward-looking expectations regarding our financial performance.
Our business and long-range planning process is designed to maximize our long-term growth and profitability and not to achieve an earnings target in any particular fiscal quarter. We believe that this longer-term focus is in the best interests of our Company and our shareholders. On a quarterly basis, we provide investors with forward-looking earnings guidance. Actual results may differ materially from forward-looking expectations that have been previously provided by us, or predicted by outside investment analysts, or others, and our share price could be adversely affected. Investors who rely on these outside predictions when making investment decisions with respect to our securities do so at their own risk. We take no responsibility for any losses suffered as a result of such changes in our share price.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3If we are unable to conduct share repurchases at expected levels, our share price could be adversely affected.
Our share repurchase activity is subject to market conditions, liquidity, and other factors and may be limited, suspended, or discontinued at any time. If we are unable to conduct share repurchases at expected levels, our share price could be adversely affected.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under United States law, and, accordingly, our shareholders may have fewer protections.
Our corporate affairs are governed by our Memorandum and Articles, the BVI Business Companies Act (Revised Edition 2020) (as amended) (the "BVI Act") and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the British Virgin Islands and by the BVI Act. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the British Virgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. As a result of the foregoing, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against our management, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a United States company.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5It may be difficult to enforce judgments against us or our executive officers and directors in jurisdictions outside the United States.
Under our Memorandum and Articles, we may indemnify and hold our directors harmless against all claims and suits brought against them, subject to limited exceptions. Furthermore, to the extent allowed by law, the rights and obligations among or between us, any of our current or former directors, officers and employees and any current or former shareholder will be governed exclusively by the laws of the British Virgin Islands and subject to the jurisdiction of the British Virgin Islands courts, unless those rights or obligations do not relate to or arise out of their capacities as such. Although there is doubt as to whether United States' courts would enforce these provisions in an action brought in the United States under United States securities laws, these provisions could make judgments obtained outside of the British Virgin Islands more difficult to enforce against our assets in the British Virgin Islands or jurisdictions that would apply British Virgin Islands law.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of one avenue to protect their interests.
British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstances in which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect of any such action, may result in the rights of shareholders of a British Virgin Islands' company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly, shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are also unlikely to recognize or enforce judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of United States securities law or to impose liabilities, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of the United States securities laws that are penal in nature. There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands will generally recognize and enforce the non-penal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits. This means that even if shareholders were to sue us successfully, they may not be able to recover anything to make up for the losses suffered.
