Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are many risks and uncertainties that can affect our future business, financial performance or share price. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024. There have been no material changes to the risks presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, except as described in the updated risk factor below, which is repeated from our Quarterly Report for the period June 28, 2025. These risks, however, are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those 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 to trade regulations, including trade restrictions, such as tariffs, duties, and sanctions, could significantly harm our results of operations.

The rapidly evolving international trade environment has created economic and operational uncertainties that could significantly harm our business and results of operations.

Certain of the goods we import are subject to tariffs and duties imposed by customs authorities of the jurisdictions into which they are imported. We manufacture our products in, and source goods from, multiple jurisdictions, such as Taiwan and China among others. New or increased tariffs, duties, or other trade restrictions imposed on products, goods, or components we import into the United States or other countries could have a substantial adverse impact on our business and financial results.

Additionally, some tariffs and duties are based on the classifications of the goods imported, which are routinely subject to review by customs authorities. We are unable to predict whether those authorities will change the determination of the classifications of any of our imports. Any such changes could result in increased tariffs or duties, or other restrictions on our importation of goods. The imposition of and our response to new or enhanced trade restrictions on imports or exports, or any selective or inconsistent application relating to trade restrictions, could result in a substantial adverse effect on our business, competitive position, results of operations, and financial condition.
