Market risk (Item 3)

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations, apart from its effects on the general economy. We continue to monitor inflationary trends, including the
potential impact of tariffs and related cost pressures. If inflation were to increase our operating costs, we may not be able to fully offset these higher costs through corresponding price adjustments, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

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.
