Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 25
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 1Material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our financial statements not being prevented or detected, which could affect investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial statements and could negatively impact our stock price and financial condition.
As a public company, we are required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If we fail to abide by the applicable requirements of Section 404, regulatory authorities, such as the SEC, could subject us to sanctions or investigation, and our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to certify as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to an audit of our internal controls. Even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. Accordingly, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of their inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. Based on its assessment, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, due to the following material weaknesses. We did not design and maintain adequate controls within the revenue process to address the determination of standalone selling price ("SSP") and allocation of the transaction price to separate performance obligations for revenue accounting. Additionally, we did not design and maintain adequate controls over the accounting treatment for market-based stock compensation awards. The above control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses, either individually or in the aggregate. As further described in Item 9A, Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, remediation actions are underway and are scheduled to be complete within fiscal year 2026. Specifically, we will finalize implementation of our automation tool by documenting control processes and conducting training for our professionals to accurately execute the determination of SSP and allocation of the transaction price. Additionally, we will enhance our controls to support accurate accounting treatment for market-based stock compensation plans. While we believe our remediation plans should remediate the material weaknesses, we cannot provide assurance of when the material weaknesses will be remediated, nor can we be certain of whether additional actions will be required or the costs of any such actions. Moreover, we cannot provide assurance that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future. While the material weaknesses discussed in Item 9A, "Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting", did not result in material misstatements of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements, any failure to remediate the material weaknesses, or the identification of new material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements that may continue undetected, negatively impacting the public perception of the Company and our securities and cause us to fail to meet our reporting and financial obligations or incur significant additional costs to remediate the material weaknesses, each of which could negatively affect our stock price, harm our ability to raise capital on favorable terms in the future or otherwise have a negative impact on our financial condition.
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 2If we do not generate net cash flow from operations and if we are unable to raise additional capital, our financial condition could be adversely affected and we may be unable to execute our business strategy.
The Company believes it has the financial resources needed to meet its anticipated cash requirements during the next twelve months. Cash requirements for periods beyond the next twelve months will depend on, among other things, the Company's profitability, and its ability to manage working capital requirements, and, if needed, its ability to identify and secure other potential sources to fund future working capital needs and meet capital expenditure requirements. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, divesting businesses, delaying capital expenditures, reducing the scope of our R&D programs, restructuring debt, or obtaining additional debt financing or equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive or could include restrictive covenants. Our ability to refinance or otherwise repay our indebtedness may depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time, as well as whether we have a sufficient number of shares of authorized common stock available for issuance. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations. In addition, certain of our current debt agreements do, and any of our future debt agreements may, contain restrictive covenants that may prohibit us from adopting any of these alternatives or which may be violated if any such alternatives prove to be unsuccessful. The indenture agreement governing our 5.875% convertible senior secured notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes") includes certain financial covenants, including a requirement to maintain at least $20.0 million in qualified cash. As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of the covenants included in the 2030 Notes' indenture agreement. However, if we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow in the future, we may be non-compliant which could result in an event of default, making the 2030 Notes, with an outstanding principal balance of $92.0 million as of December 31, 2025, due immediately. See "-Servicing or refinancing our debt may require a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash or the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the 5.875% convertible senior secured notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes") and the 0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes") (collectively the "Notes") in cash, repay the Notes at maturity, or repurchase the Notes as required following a fundamental change" below. The lack of additional capital resulting from any inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise equity or debt financing could force us to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Furthermore, we cannot provide assurance that any necessary funds, if available, would be available on attractive terms or that they would not have a significantly dilutive effect on our existing stockholders. If our financial condition were to worsen and we become unable to attract additional equity or debt financing or enter into other strategic transactions, we would not be able to execute our business strategy and we could default on our debt obligations, become insolvent or be forced to declare bankruptcy.
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 3The variety of products that we sell could cause significant quarterly fluctuations in our gross profit margins, and those fluctuations in margins could cause fluctuations in operating income or loss and net income or loss.
We continuously work to expand and improve our products, materials and services offerings, geographic areas in which we operate and the distribution channels we use to reach various target product applications and customers. This variety of products, applications, channels and regions involves a range of gross profit margins that can cause substantial quarterly fluctuations in gross profit and gross profit margins depending upon the mix of product shipments from quarter to quarter. Additionally, the introduction of new products or services may further heighten quarterly fluctuations in gross profit and gross profit margins due to manufacturing ramp-up and start-up costs. We may experience significant quarterly fluctuations in gross profit margins or operating income or loss due to the impact of the mix of products, offerings, geographic areas and distribution channels we use to sell our products, materials and offerings from period to period.
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 4Our quarterly results may fluctuate due to the visibility in our sales cycle, which makes planning and inventory management difficult and future financial results less predictable. Our involvement in collaborative arrangements and the related estimates involved in our revenue recognition also may cause fluctuations in our quarterly results.
Our quarterly sales often have reflected a pattern in which a disproportionate percentage of each quarter's total sales occur towards the end of the quarter, in particular for sales of hardware products. This uneven sales pattern makes predicting net revenue, earnings, cash flow from operations and working capital for each financial period difficult, increases the risk of unanticipated variations in our quarterly results and financial condition, and places pressure on our inventory management and logistics systems. If predicted demand is substantially greater than orders, there may be excess inventory. Alternatively, if orders substantially exceed predicted demand, we may not be able to fulfill all of the orders received in each quarter and such orders may be canceled. Furthermore, depending on when they occur in a quarter, developments such as an information systems failure, component pricing movements, component shortages or global logistics disruptions could adversely impact our inventory levels and results of operations in a manner that is disproportionate to the number of days in the quarter affected. In addition, we earn certain of our revenue through collaborative arrangements. We recognize this revenue over time using a cost-to-cost percentage of completion model to measure the progress of the transfer of control. We make estimates impacting the timing of revenue recognition for these projects such as the budget to complete the project and if and when it is appropriate to include milestone payments, which represent variable consideration, in the contract's transaction price. From time to time, the assessment around milestone payments requires management to conclude that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized with respect to a collaborative agreement will not occur as a result of including one or more milestone payments in the arrangement's transaction price. We had a change in estimate for the year ended December 31, 2024, resulting in the reversal of $8.7 million of revenue. Due to the significant judgment involved, our estimates may change again in the future, which could result in additional revenue recognized related to milestone payments to be reversed.
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 5Changes in business conditions may cause our goodwill, intangible assets, long-lived tangible assets, or right-of-use assets to become impaired.
Goodwill is subject to an impairment test on an annual basis and when circumstances indicate that an impairment is more likely than not. Long-lived assets – consisting of tangible assets, intangible assets, and right-of-use assets – are assessed for recoverability and tested for impairment at the asset group level, and testing is required when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset group is not recoverable. Circumstances that may require goodwill to be tested more frequently than the annual impairment test, or indicate that a long-lived asset group is not recoverable, include a significant adverse change in the business climate, current-period operating or cash flow losses combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses, projections or forecasts that demonstrate continuing losses, or a decision to dispose of a business or product line. We face some uncertainty in our business environment due to a variety of challenges, including changes in customer demand and a recent decline in the trading price of our common stock and market capitalization. While we recorded impairment charges of $145.0 million related to goodwill, intangible assets, tangible assets, and right-of-use assets during 2024 and an impairment charge of $302.8 million related to our goodwill during 2023, we may experience additional unforeseen circumstances that adversely affect the value of these assets and trigger an evaluation of their carrying amounts. Future impairments of goodwill, intangible assets, long-lived tangible assets, or right-of-use assets could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
