Risk factors

•order delays or cancellations arising out of supply chain disruptions or manufacturing capacity constraints;
Extended lead times and elevated order backlog may result in delayed revenue conversion, excess inventory, and order cancellations, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations.
We have experienced a substantial increase in order volumes, which, combined with manufacturing capacity constraints and ongoing supply chain challenges, could result in extended lead times for new orders and, in some cases, delays in shipping products to customers by their requested ship dates.
As a result of these extended lead times, our customers may seek to cancel or reduce existing orders, particularly if they are able to obtain products with shorter lead times from our competitors or open market, and if their own end-market demand declines. Long lead times may also lead customers to …
In addition, our ability to shorten lead times or otherwise mitigate these risks depends on a number of factors that are, in part, outside of our control, including the availability of critical components, the production capacity and allocation decisions of our suppliers and contract manufacturers, …

Commencing in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, new U.S. tariffs applying to imports from all countries were announced, including significantly higher rates on imports from China. I…
In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court determined that tariffs imposed pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were not authorized by law. Subsequent rulings by the U.S. Court of International Trade have directed U.S. Customs and Border Protection to implement process…

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
