Item 1A. Risk Factors

The information presented below supplements the risk factors previously reported in Part 1, ITEM 1A, "Risk Factors", in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Changes in legislation or government regulations or policies, particularly those relating to international trade and taxation, could have a significant impact on our results of operations.

Our business is global, and changes to existing international trade agreements, blocking of foreign trade, increased protectionism, or imposition of tariffs on foreign goods could, among other things, weaken consumer confidence, negatively impact employment rates in industries on which we are dependent, result in higher cost of goods sold and lower gross profit and margins, cause supply chain delays or disruptions or diminishing returns on capital investments, including with respect to our ongoing distribution center optimization initiative, and deter customers in our industrial segment from pursuing facilities and automation projects, all of which could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in future periods.

Additionally, in the first quarter of 2025, the United States imposed increased tariffs on foreign imports into the United States, including an additional 20% tariff on all product imports from China, an additional 25% tariff on all product imports from Mexico and Canada, as well as additional proposed tariffs on other countries. The tariff policy environment has been and is expected to continue to be dynamic, and we cannot predict what additional actions may ultimately be taken by the United States or other governments with respect to tariffs or trade relations, including retaliatory trade measures taken by other countries in response to existing or future United States tariffs or other measures. As a result, we may be required to, among other things, take steps to mitigate the impact of tariffs on our businesses, including by raising the prices on products subject to such tariffs to share these costs with our customers and/or by making changes to our supply chain practices, sources of supply, or manufacturing locations, which could also have significant impacts on our financial results.

In addition, as a global business, we are subject to taxation in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Changes in the tax laws of these jurisdictions, or in the interpretation or enforcement of existing tax laws, could subject our business to audits, inquiries and legal challenges from taxing authorities and could reduce the benefit of tax structures previously implemented for our operations. As a result, we may incur additional costs, including taxes and penalties for historical periods, that may have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
