Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors previously reported in Part I, ITEM 1A, "Risk Factors", in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, ITEM 1A, "Risk Factors", in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. 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.

Our results of operations, revenue, and supply chain could be materially affected as a result of a bankruptcy, insolvency or other credit failures of a significant customer or vendor.

Our operations depend on relationships with various customers and vendors, and we may be exposed to risks if any customer or vendor declares bankruptcy, becomes insolvent, or otherwise fails to meet its financial or contractual obligations. For example, in September 2025, one of the key vendors for our Automotive segment filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In the event a key customer or vendor files for bankruptcy or ceases operations, we may face significant disruptions including, but not limited to, delays in our supply chain, inability to source replacement goods at comparable costs, increased operating expenses, and such events may negatively impact our ability to collect outstanding receivables or ability to generate future sales and cash flow. Credit and financial difficulties of our customers and vendors may also lead to a reduction in sales, price reductions, increased returns of our products, and could adversely affect our brand, revenue, operating results, and financial condition.
