Risk Change Over Time
- Economy & Political Environment - Risk 1The conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran and related geopolitical instability may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
In February 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes against Iran, which retaliated with missile attacks across the region. Although we have no operations in the Middle East, the ongoing conflict, and any further escalation, including additional military actions, retaliatory measures, sanctions, trade or transportation disruptions, cyberattacks, or other governmental or market responses, could significantly disrupt global energy supplies, increase energy prices, heighten inflationary pressures on our input costs and supply chain, adversely affect global supply chains, our customers and vendors, commodity prices, currency exchange rates, financial markets and the general economy. A significant portion of our polymer spend is petroleum-based, and rising petroleum prices resulting from the conflict have increased, and may continue to increase, the cost of materials we source, manufacture, or distribute. Under our agreements with our customers, we are generally able to pass through many of these costs but there is no assurance this will not adversely affect demand for our products. We have also faced, and may continue to face, indirect financial risks passed through the supply chain, including disruptions that could result in higher prices for our products and the resources needed to produce them or delays in our ability to timely manufacture and deliver our products. While we do not expect the conflict to have a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations, we are unable to predict the extent or nature of any future impacts at this time.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 35
- Economy & Political Environment - Risk 1Our business, operating results, and cash flows have historically been affected and may continue to be adversely affected by inflation.
Inflation rates could rise in the future. Such inflationary pressures could affect our manufacturing costs, operating expenses (including wages) and other expenses. We may not be able to pass these cost increases on to our customers in a timely manner, which could have an impact on our gross margins and profitability. In addition, inflation could result in higher interest rates and could otherwise adversely impact the macroeconomic environment, which in turn could adversely impact our customers and their ability or willingness to purchase our products. Our inability to successfully manage the effects of inflation could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows.
- Economy & Political Environment - Risk 2The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, other similar conflicts and civil unrest in Haiti, which is in proximity to our manufacturing facilities in the Dominican Republic could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
As a result of the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States and other countries have imposed significant sanctions on Russia and could impose even wider sanctions. The military conflict and related sanctions could damage or disrupt international commerce and the global economy. We cannot predict the broader or longer-term consequences of the conflict or of the sanctions imposed to date or in the future, which could include embargoes, regional instability, geopolitical shifts, exchange rate fluctuations, financial market disruptions and economic recession. Further, the conflict could exacerbate supply chain challenges, lead to an increase in cyberattacks from Russia, affect the global price and availability of key commodities, reduce our sales and earnings or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Our manufacturing facilities and warehouses in the Dominican Republic play a crucial role in the production of certain of our medical products. Our manufacturing facilities and warehouses may be damaged or our ability to use or access them may be disrupted as a result of civil unrest or other occurrences in Haiti. Such events may interfere with our manufacturing process, information systems, telecommunication services, and product delivery for sustained periods and may also make it difficult or impossible for employees to reach our business locations. Damage or destruction that interrupts our manufacturing facilities could adversely affect our reputation, our relationships with our largest customers, our leadership team's ability to administer and supervise our business and cause us to incur substantial additional expenditures to repair or replace damaged equipment or facilities or commence alternate production locations. In addition, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, civil unrest in Haiti and similar conflicts or situations such as a break in the current ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas War may have the effect of heightening other risks disclosed in this Form 10-K, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Such risks include but are not limited to interruptions in the transportation channels for the manufacture and global distribution of our products, heightened inflation, depressed levels of consumer and commercial spending, adverse changes in international trade policies and relations, and the inability to implement and execute our business strategy. We are currently unable to predict the extent, nature or duration of any of these occurrences.
