Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

The significant factors known to us that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results are described in our most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K under Item 1A - Risk Factors, and are supplemented by the following risk factor below.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected by disruptions in the global economy caused by the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

The global economy has been negatively impacted by the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Additionally, the company announced its decision to withdraw from Russia and, having already paused new sales in the country, is initiating a plan to stop production and business activities. We have experienced shortages in materials, the inability to insure shipments, and increased costs for transportation, energy, and raw material and other inputs due in part to the negative impact of the Russia-Ukraine military conflict on the global economy. Further escalation of the military conflict or related geopolitical tensions, including increased trade barriers or restrictions on global trade, could result in, among other things, cyberattacks, further supply disruptions, and changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets, any of which may adversely affect our business and supply chains. Such geopolitical instability and uncertainty has negatively impacted our ability to sell to, ship products to, collect payments from, and support customers in certain regions. Logistics restrictions, including closures of air space and shipping ports, the reduction of the availability of farmable land, and the destruction of facilities could further increase these adverse impacts and negatively impact demand for our products in the region. While Ukraine and Russia do not constitute a material portion of our business revenues, further escalation or expansion of economic disruption or the conflict's current scope could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, the effects of the ongoing conflict could heighten many of our known risks described in Part I - Item 1A – “Risk Factors*”* in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 10, 2022.
