TABLE OF CONTENTS

Information About Forward-Looking Statements

This Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) includes and incorporates by reference “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. In addition, we, or our executive officers on our behalf, may from time to time make forward-looking statements in reports and other documents we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or in connection with oral statements made to the press, potential investors, or others. All statements that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements may be indicated by words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plans,” “expects,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “believes,” “intends,” and similar words and phrases. These statements reflect management’s current beliefs and are not guarantees of future performance. They involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained or implied in any forward-looking statement.

Examples of forward-looking statements in this report include but are not limited to statements regarding operating results, the success of our operating plans, our expectations regarding our ability to generate cash and reduce debt and associated interest expense, profit and cash flow expectations, the prospects for newly acquired businesses to be integrated and contribute to future growth, and our expectations regarding growth through acquisitions. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, demand for our products, the cost, timing, and success of product upgrades and new product introductions, raw materials costs, expected pricing levels, expected outcomes of pending litigation, competitive conditions, and general economic conditions. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in the forward-looking statements include but are not limited to:

• general economic conditions;

• difficulty making acquisitions, including receiving the necessary regulatory approvals (including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act in the U.S. and similar antitrust regulations in foreign countries), and successfully integrating acquired businesses;

• any unforeseen liabilities associated with future acquisitions;

• information technology system failures, data security breaches, network disruptions, and cybersecurity events, including any litigation arising therefrom;

• failure to comply with new data privacy laws and regulations, including any litigation arising therefrom;

• risks and costs associated with our international sales and operations;

• rising interest rates;

• limitations on our business imposed by our indebtedness;

• product liability, litigation, and insurance risks;

• future competition;

• reduction of business with large customers;

• risks associated with government contracts;

• changes in the supply of, or price for, labor, energy, raw materials, parts, and components, including as a result of inflation or potential supply chain constraints;

• potential write-offs of our goodwill and other intangible assets;

• our ability to successfully develop new products;

• failure to protect our intellectual property;

• unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates;

• risks related to changing U.S. and foreign trade policies, including increased trade restrictions or tariffs;

• increased warranty exposure;

• environmental compliance costs and liabilities;

• the effect of, or change in, government regulations (including tax);

• risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence;

• economic disruption caused by armed conflicts (such as the war in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East), terrorist attacks, health crises (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), or other unforeseen geopolitical events; and

• the factors discussed in Item 1A of this Annual Report under the heading “Risk Factors.”

You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update any of these statements in light of new information or future events.
