Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Oct 30, 2026

• In response, we have taken, and will continue to take actions to optimize our operations to minimize the impact of such tariffs and maintain our profitability through cost and pricing measures.
• We will continue to actively monitor international trade developments and evaluate the potential impact on our results of operations and financial condition, including the refund of tariffs that had been imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act following the United States Supreme Court decision to invalidate such tariffs.
