Risk Overview Q1, 2026
Risk Change Over Time
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 1Our ability to achieve our budgeted fiscal 2027 revenue expectations, and related public fiscal 2027 revenue guidance, will have a significant impact on our cash flow and stock price and ability to fund our operations and satisfy our debt obligations.
We have historically had difficulties in achieving our budgeted revenue expectations, and related public annual revenue guidance. Our ability to achieve our budgeted fiscal 2027 revenue expectations, and related public fiscal 2027 revenue guidance, will have a significant impact on our cash flow, financial condition and stock price and ability to fund our operations and satisfy our debt obligations.
- Debt & Financing - Risk 2We are subject to financial and operating covenants in our credit agreement, and any failure to comply with such covenants, or obtain waivers in the event of non-compliance, could limit our borrowing availability or result in a default under our credit agreement, materially adversely impacting our liquidity.
Our credit agreement contains provisions that limit our future borrowing availability and set forth other customary covenants, including certain restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, consolidate or merge, enter into acquisitions, make investments, pay any dividend or distribution on our stock, redeem, repurchase or retire shares of our stock, or pledge or dispose of assets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the financial and other covenants in our senior debt agreements. Our failure to comply with these covenants could cause us to be unable to borrow under the credit agreement and may constitute an event of default under our senior debt agreements, which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of the maturity of any indebtedness then outstanding under our senior debt agreements and, which would require us to pay all amounts then outstanding. Such an event would materially adversely affect our financial condition and liquidity. Additionally, such events of non-compliance could impact the terms of any additional borrowings and/or any credit renewal terms. Any failure to comply with such covenants may be a disclosable event and may be perceived negatively. Such perception could adversely affect the market price for our common stock and our ability to obtain financing in the future.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 36
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, volatile.
Historically, the market price of our common stock has fluctuated over a wide range, and it is likely that the price of our common stock will continue to be volatile in the future. The market price of our common stock could be impacted due to a variety of factors, including: - actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results or our competitors' operating results;- our ability to achieve our analysts' results of operations expectations;- actual or anticipated changes in the growth rate of the general LED lighting industry, our growth rates or our competitors' growth rates;- conditions in the financial markets in general or changes in general economic conditions;- novel and unforeseen market forces and trading strategies;- actual or anticipated changes in governmental regulation, including taxation and tariff policies;- interest rate or currency exchange rate fluctuations;- our ability to forecast or report accurate financial results; and - changes in stock market analyst recommendations regarding our common stock, other comparable companies or our industry generally. Our quarterly revenue and operating results have fluctuated in the past and will likely vary from quarter to quarter in the future. Our results for any particular quarter are not an indication of our future performance. Our revenue and operating results may fall below the expectations of market analysts or investors in some future quarter or quarters. Our failure to meet these expectations could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. If the price of our common stock is volatile or falls significantly, we may be the target of securities litigation or could be delisted from NASDAQ. If we become involved in this type of litigation or are delisted, regardless of the outcome, we could incur substantial legal costs, management's attention could be diverted from the operation of our business, and our reputation could be damaged, which could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, due to one or more of the foregoing factors in one or more future quarters, our results of operations may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In the event any of the foregoing occur, the market price of our common stock could be highly volatile and may materially decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2The market price of our common stock could be adversely affected by future sales of our common stock in the public market by us or our executive officers and directors.
We and our executive officers and directors may from time to time sell shares of our common stock in the public market or otherwise. We cannot predict the size or the effect, if any, that future sales of shares of our common stock by us or our executive officers and directors, or the perception of such sales, will have on the market price of our common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Anti-takeover provisions included in the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, provisions in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws could delay or prevent a change of control of our company, which could adversely impact the value of our common stock and may prevent or frustrate attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our current Board or management.
A change of control of our company may be discouraged, delayed or prevented by certain provisions of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law. These provisions generally restrict a broad range of business combinations between a Wisconsin corporation and a shareholder owning 15% or more of our outstanding common stock. These and other provisions in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, including our staggered Board and our ability to issue "blank check" preferred stock, as well as the provisions of our Amended and Restated Bylaws and Wisconsin law, could make it more difficult for shareholders or potential acquirers to obtain control of our Board or initiate actions that are opposed by our then-current Board, including to delay or impede a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving our company or result in a lower price per share paid to our shareholders. In addition, our employment arrangements with senior management provide for severance payments and accelerated vesting of benefits, including accelerated vesting of stock options and restricted stock awards, upon a change of control and a subsequent qualifying termination. These provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, thereby adversely affecting the market price of our common stock. These provisions may also discourage or prevent a change of control or result in a lower price per share paid to our shareholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4If securities or industry analysts do not continue to publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock may continue to depend, in part, on the research reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us and our peer group companies. If these analysts do not continue to provide adequate research coverage or if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our stock, lowers our stock's price target or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which could cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5Our shareholders may experience substantial dilution in the value of their investment or may otherwise have their interests impaired to the extent we issue additional shares of our common stock.
Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, allow us to issue up to 50 million shares, consisting of 20 million shares of our common stock and 30 million shares of our preferred stock. We may in the future issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock, which could result in substantial dilution to the interests of existing shareholders. Additionally, to raise additional capital, we may in the future sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that are lower than the prices paid by existing shareholders, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders, which could result in substantial dilution to the interests of existing shareholders.
