Additionally, our business, financial condition and results of operations have been and may be further impacted in several ways, including, but not limited to, the following: • further disruptions to our operations, including due to additional facility closures, restrictions on our operations and sales, marketing and distribution efforts and/or interruptions to our engineering and design processes and other important business activities; • reduced demand for our products and services, particularly due to disruptions to the businesses and operations of our customers; • interruptions, availability or delays in global shipping to transport our products; • further slowdown or stoppage in the supply chain for our products, in addition to higher costs; • limitations on employee resources and availability, including due to sickness, government restrictions, the desire of employees to avoid contact with large groups of people or mass transit disruptions, or a shortage of available vaccinations; • greater difficulty in collecting customer receivables; • a fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates could result from market uncertainties; • an increase in the cost or the difficulty to obtain debt or equity financing could affect our financial condition or our ability to fund operations or future investment opportunities; • any breach of financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement; • current or near future trends may cause certain inventory to be slow-moving and trigger the need to review for excess and obsolete inventory or the valuation of inventory; • changes to the carrying value of our goodwill and intangible assets; and • an increase in regulatory restrictions or continued market volatility could hinder our ability to execute strategic business activities, as well as negatively impact our stock price.
These international operations are subject to a number of risks, including: • public health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which can result in varying impacts to our business, employees, customers, suppliers, vendors and partners internationally as discussed elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section; • difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations; • coordinating communications and logistics across geographic distances and multiple time zones; • less flexible employee relationships, which complicate meeting demand fluctuations and can be difficult and expensive to terminate; • political and economic instability (including acts of terrorism and outbreaks of war), which could impact our ability to ship and/or receive product; • changes in foreign or domestic government policies, regulatory requirements and laws, which could impact our business; • longer customer payment cycles and difficulty collecting accounts receivable; • export duties, import controls, tariffs, and trade barriers (including quotas and border taxes); • governmental restrictions on the transfer of funds; • risk of governmental expropriation of our property; • burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and labor practices, including various and changing minimum wage regulations; • fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could affect foreign taxes due, component costs, local payroll, utility and other expenses; and • inability to utilize net operating losses incurred by our foreign operations which would increase our overall effective tax rate.

This high level of indebtedness could have important negative consequences to us, including, but not limited to: ●we may have difficulty satisfying our obligations with respect to outstanding debt obligations; ●we may have difficulty obtaining financing in the future for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures or other purposes; ●we may need to use all, or a substantial portion, of our available excess cash flow to pay interest and principal on our debt, which will reduce the amount of money available to finance our operations and other business activities, including, but not limited to, working capital requirements, acquisitions, capital expenditures or other general corporate or business activities; ●our debt level increases our vulnerability to general economic downturns and adverse industry conditions; ●our debt level could limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and in our industry in general; ●our substantial amount of debt and the amount we must pay to service our debt obligations could place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; ●we may have increased borrowing costs; ●our clients, surety providers or insurance carriers may react adversely to our significant debt level; ●we may have insufficient funds, and our debt level may also restrict us from raising the funds necessary, to retire our debt instruments tendered to us upon maturity of our debt or the occurrence of a change of control, which would constitute an event of default under our debt instruments; and ●our failure to comply with the financial and other restrictive covenants in our debt instruments which, among other things, require us to maintain specified financial ratios and limit our ability to incur debt and sell assets, could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on our business or prospects.
Additional difficulties we may encounter as part of the integration process include the following: ●the consequences of a change in tax treatment and the possibility that the full benefits anticipated from the acquisition or disposition will not be realized; ●any delay in the integration or disposition of management teams, strategies, operations, products and services; ●differences in business backgrounds, corporate cultures and management philosophies that may delay successful integration; ●the ability to retain key employees; ●the ability to create and enforce uniform standards, controls, procedures, policies and information systems; ●the challenge of restructuring complex systems, technology, networks and other assets in a seamless manner that minimizes any adverse impact on customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies; ●potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses or delays associated with the acquisition, including costs to integrate beyond current estimates; ●the ability to deduct or claim tax attributes or benefits such as operating losses, business or foreign tax credits; and ●the disruption of, or the loss of momentum in, each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies.
