  • Economy & Political Environment - Risk 1
    Geopolitical Instability and Conflict

    Our business operations may be adversely affected by ongoing geopolitical instability including conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. These regional tensions may lead to increased political, economic, and security risks, including disruptions in the global supply chain, fluctuations in energy prices, and financial market volatility. Such uncertainties could impact our ability to operate efficiently, access markets, and secure resources. Our financial performance and results may be influenced by these external factors, and we cannot predict the future impact of geopolitical events on our business with certainty.

  • Capital Markets - Risk 2
    Duties and Trade Tariffs

    Our ability to adjust selling prices to our customers and forecast manufacturing and operating costs on a timely basis may be adversely impacted by increased trade tariffs. We continuously monitor the impact tariffs between trading partners may have on our business as they develop. We cannot predict with certainty future global trade tariffs or the impact they may have on our business and results of operation. As a contract manufacturer, we pass through material cost increases to our customers, including increases associated with tariffs. We also work with our customers to identify potential alternative supply sources for key ingredients to help mitigate the impact tariffs may have on the cost of their products.

Share Price & Shareholder Rights3 | 13.6%
  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Our stock price could fluctuate significantly.

    Stock prices in general can be volatile and ours is no different. The trading price of our stock may fluctuate in response to the following, as well as other, factors including but not limited to factors outside of our control: - broad market fluctuations and general economic and/or political conditions;- fluctuations in our financial results;- relatively low trading volumes;- future offerings of our common stock or other securities;- the general condition of the nutritional supplement industry;- increased competition;- regulatory action;- adverse publicity;- manipulative or illegal trading practices by third parties; and - our and our customers' and suppliers' products and other public announcements. The market for our stock has historically experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. There can be no assurance that an active market in our stock will continue to exist or that the price of our common stock will not decline. Our future operating results may be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. If this were to occur, the price of our common stock could decline, perhaps substantially. From time to time our shares may be listed for trading on one or more foreign exchanges, with or without our prior knowledge or consent. Certain foreign exchanges may have less stringent listing requirements, rules and enforcement procedures than the Nasdaq Global Market or other markets in the U.S., and this may increase the potential for manipulative trading practices to occur on such foreign exchanges. These practices, or the perception by investors that such practices could occur, may increase the volatility of our stock price or result in a decline in our stock price, which in some cases could be significant.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Collectively, our officers and directors own a significant amount of our common stock, giving them influence over corporate transactions and other matters and potentially limiting the influence of other stockholders on important policy and management issues.

    Our officers and directors, together with their families and affiliates, beneficially owned approximately 21% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of June 30, 2024. Approximately 16% of the outstanding shares of common stock are beneficially owned by Mark LeDoux, and his family and affiliates. Mr. LeDoux is our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. As a result, our officers and directors, and in particular Mr. LeDoux, could influence such business matters as the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. Various transactions could be delayed, deferred, or prevented without the approval of stockholders, including the following: - transactions resulting in a change in control;- mergers and acquisitions;- tender offers;- election of directors; and - proxy contests. There can be no assurance that conflicts of interest will not arise with respect to the officers and directors who own shares of our common stock or that conflicts will be resolved in a manner favorable to the Company or our other stockholders.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    If certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Delaware law are triggered, the market for our shares may decrease.

    Certain provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Delaware corporate law may discourage unsolicited proposals to acquire our business, even if such proposals would benefit our stockholders. Those provisions include one that authorizes our Board of Directors, without stockholder approval, to issue up to 500,000 shares of preferred stock having such rights, preferences, and privileges, including voting rights, as the Board of Directors designates. The rights of our common stockholders will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Any or all of these provisions could delay, deter or prevent a takeover of our company and could lower the price investors are willing to pay for our common stock and the number of investors willing to own our common stock.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
