    Extraordinary Events Beyond our Control, Including Conflicts, Wars, Natural Disasters, Public Health Crises, or Terrorist Acts, or Other Civil or Political Disruptions, Could Negatively Impact our Business, Which May Affect our Financial Condition, Results of Operations or Cash Flows.

    External disruptions, including, but not limited to, conflicts, wars, natural disasters (the nature and severity of which may be impacted by climate change), public health crises, terrorist acts, or other civil or political disruptions, may cause significant damage or disruption to our operations, employees, facilities, systems, suppliers, supply chain, distributors, resellers, or customers in the U.S. and internationally for extended periods of time and could also affect demand for our products. The extent to which any extraordinary event impacts us depends on numerous factors and future developments that we are not able to predict, including the duration and scope of the event; governmental, business, and individuals' actions in response to the event; our ability to maintain sufficient qualified personnel; global supply chain disruptions caused by the event; and the impact on economic activity, including financial market instability.

    If We Cannot Successfully Develop and Market New Products or Execute Our Business Strategy, Our Results of Operations Could be Adversely Impacted.

    Our future success depends on our continued investment in research and new product development as well as our ability to commercialize new HVACR technological advances in domestic and global markets. The integration of any such new products or technologies into our business may also require the development of new processes and the expenditure of significant financial and operational resources. If we are unable to continue to timely and successfully develop and market new products, achieve technological advances, or extend our business model and technological advances into new markets, our business and results of operations could be adversely impacted. Lennox operates a direct-to-dealer network, meaning we manufacture products and sell them directly to select, independent home service companies. We rely on our direct sales channel for a substantial portion of our revenue. Our direct-to-dealer network also creates a large installed base of HVACR equipment, and creates opportunities for longer term service, monitoring, solutions, and retrofit revenue. If we are unable to continue to execute our strategy, whether due to changes in economic conditions, a failure to anticipate changing customer needs, entry of new competitors into the low-barrier distribution business, or for any other reason, our revenue could decline, which could in turn adversely impact our product pull-through and our ability to grow revenue. To remain competitive, we are engaged in various manufacturing rationalization actions designed to achieve our strategic priorities of manufacturing, sourcing, and distribution excellence and of lowering our cost structure. For example, we are continuing to reorganize our North American distribution network in order to better serve our customers' needs by deploying parts and equipment inventory closer to them. In such case, our results of operations and profitability may be negatively impacted, making us less competitive and potentially causing us to lose market share.

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.
