MD&A
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-08-06
Many of our products are sourced and manufactured in China and have been subject to a US 25% tariff since May 2019. Throughout 2025, we were subject to a range of tariff rates on imports from China ranging from 25% to as high as 170%.
On July 31, 2025, the US administration issued a formal Executive Order modifying the reciprocal tariff regime under the IEEPA. However, in February 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that the IEEPA does not authorize the US administration to impose tariffs, and the tariffs paid by importers under the Ex…
Effective February 24, 2026, the US administration imposed a 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 that could remain in place for up to 150 days, and may, by legislative action, be extended. Multiple legal challenges to the Section 122 tariffs have been filed, and on May 7, 20…

The US tariff policies are continuing to evolve. As a result, our risks and mitigation plans will also continue to evolve as further developments arise. Any alteration of trade agreements and terms between China and the United States, including limiting trade with China, imposing additional tariffs …

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.
