Our mission is to create meaningful connections between companies and their ideal customers. 10-K, Item 1
8 paragraphs in Risk Factors of the 10-K filed Feb 19, 2026 with nothing like them in the 10-K filed Feb 27, 2025. Quoted exactly. Paragraphs that were only edited are under 10-K change.
Compared with the Risk Factors in the latest 10-K of the other 18 Communication companies: a paragraph with at least half its words the same at another company is called similar, and the companies are listed under it. A paragraph most of them have is marked boilerplate. No line means no other company has one like it. This counts text; it does not say how serious a risk is.

A deterioration in macroeconomic conditions, whether in the United States, internationally, or globally, could create uncertainty and adversely affect advertising spending or costs related to our operations. Historically, consumer purchasing and advertising spending have each declined during economic downturns and periods of uncertainty regarding future economic prospects or when disposable income or consumer lending is lower. Uncertain economic conditions may impact advertiser spending in future periods and may also adversely affect our clients, which in turn may harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Economic and political relations between the U.S. and other countries continue to evolve rapidly, including with respect to tariff and other policies, and changing policies may adversely affect our business by harming advertising spending or increasing our costs.

In addition, we have in the past chosen, and may in the future also choose, to divest certain businesses or product lines. For example, in June 2025, we sold our Apps business. As a result of this divestiture, we no longer generate Apps revenue and we may not achieve the desired strategic and financial benefits. Any future divestitures or similar transactions may, among other risks, result in reduced revenue, cause us to incur additional expenses, disrupt third party or employee relationships, and expose us to unanticipated or ongoing obligations and liabilities, including as a result of our indemnification obligations or any agreement to provide transition services.

Harm to our brands and reputation can arise from many sources, including actions of our business partners, service disruptions or technical issues, or legal or regulatory scrutiny. Even allegations may harm our reputation and brands and cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline. We have, from time to time in the past, and may in the future be, the target of incomplete, inaccurate, and misleading or false statements about our company and our business that could damage our reputation and brands, divert management attention and resources, and deter clients or potential clients from using our solutions. If we do not successfully maintain, protect or enhance our brand and reputation, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

We transfer personal data relating to our employees, clients and their users from the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and other jurisdictions to the United States and other countries. Following the invalidation of the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield frameworks by the Court of Justice of the European Union in 2020 and the imposition of additional requirements regarding the use of standard contractual clauses (“SCCs”), cross-border data transfer mechanisms
have been subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny, evolving guidance, and legal challenge. The European Commission adopted updated SCCs in 2021, and the United Kingdom has implemented its own contractual transfer mechanisms, which have increased compliance complexity and costs. In July 2023, the European Commission adopted an adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (“EU-U.S. DPF”), and related frameworks for the United Kingdom and Switzerland subsequently became effective. We are certified under these frameworks, where applicable; however, they are subject to ongoing review and potential legal challenge and may be modified, suspended, or invalidated in the future. Regulators in certain European jurisdictions have also taken the position that specific data transfer practices, including the use of certain analytics tools, may result in unlawful transfers of personal data to the United States. If existing data transfer mechanisms are restricted or invalidated, or if additional measures are required, we and our business partners and service providers may need to implement alternative or supplemental safeguards, renegotiate contracts, or modify our operations, which could increase costs, limit our ability to process personal data, disrupt our advertising solutions or other offerings, and expose us and our customers to regulatory investigations or enforcement actions. Similar cross-border data transfer restrictions under other current or future laws such as Brazil’s General Data Protection Law and China’s Personal Information Protection Law may further increase compliance burdens and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Moreover, there are increasing restrictions in the United States on certain personal sensitive data transfers to certain foreign countries. The Department of Justice finalized a final rule implementing Executive Order 14117, effective April 8, 2025, which prohibits data transfer of personal identifiers, precise geolocation data, biometric identifiers, health data, and financial data over a certain bulk threshold to identified countries of concern (i.e., China, Hong Kong, Macau, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela). The rule also restricts data brokerage agreements, investment agreements, employment agreements, and vendor agreements involving such data and countries of concern. Violations of the rule may be punishable by criminal and/or civil sanctions and may result in exclusion from participation in federal and state programs. These data transfer restrictions may create operational challenges and legal risks for our business, particularly with regard to China, where we have operations.

Further, the enforceability of similar exclusive forum provisions in other companies’ organizational documents has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court of law may rule that these types of provisions are inapplicable or unenforceable if they are challenged in a proceeding or otherwise. In the event a court finds either exclusive forum provision
