  • Regulation - Risk 1
    We are subject to governmental export and import controls that could impair our ability to compete in international markets due to licensing requirements and subject us to liability if we are not in compliance with applicable laws.

    Our products are subject to various restrictions under U.S. export control and sanctions laws and regulations, including the U.S. Department of Commerce's Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and various economic and trade sanctions regulations administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). These laws and regulations impose restrictions or prohibitions on the sale or supply of products and services to sanctioned countries, governments, persons and entities, and to persons engaged in restricted or prohibited end-uses. Although we have taken precautions to protect against our products being exported or used in violation of law, we have inadvertently provided products and services to some customers in apparent violation of U.S. export control laws. In October 2024, we submitted to the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) an initial notification of voluntary self-disclosure concerning apparent violations. A final voluntary self-disclosure was submitted to BIS on April 30, 2025. If we are found to be in violation of U.S. sanctions or export control regulations, it can result in significant fines or penalties, as well as reputational harm and loss of business. While we are working to implement additional controls designed to prevent similar occurrences in the future, these controls may not be fully effective. Changes to our products, export control or import regulations, economic sanctions or related laws, shifts in the enforcement or scope of existing regulations or changes in the countries, governments, persons or technologies targeted by such regulations could decrease our ability to export or sell our products to existing or potential customers. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

  • Regulation - Risk 2
    We are subject to U.S. and certain foreign anti-corruption laws and regulations. We could face liability and other serious consequences for violations which can harm our business.

    We are subject to anti-corruption laws and regulations, including the FCPA, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the U.S. Travel Act and other state and national anti-bribery laws in the countries in which we conduct activities. Anti-corruption laws are interpreted broadly and generally prohibit companies and their employees, agents, contractors and other third-party collaborators from offering, promising, giving, or authorizing others to give anything of value, either directly or indirectly through third parties, to any person in the public or private sector to obtain or retain business. The FCPA also requires public companies to make and keep books and records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the corporation and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls. We can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of our employees, agents, contractors, and other partners, even if we do not explicitly authorize or have actual knowledge of such activities. There is no certainty that all of our employees, agents, suppliers, manufacturers, contractors or collaborators, or those of our affiliates, will comply with all applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations. Any violation of such laws and regulations may result in substantial civil and criminal fines and penalties against us, our officers, or our employees, imprisonment, the loss of export or import privileges, debarment, tax reassessments, breach of contract and fraud litigation, reputational harm, and other consequences. In addition, any such violations could include prohibitions on our ability to offer our products in one or more countries as well as difficulties in manufacturing or continuing to develop our products, and could materially damage our reputation, our brand, our international expansion efforts, our ability to attract and retain employees, and our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition.

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.
