Unfavorable economic conditions Moreover, geopolitical tensions have created, and may continue to create, supply chain and financial uncertainties, including economic slowdowns and recessions, and unstable political conditions, including civil unrest and governmental changes, in risk due to our major international markets could undermine global consumer confidence and reduce consumers’ purchasing power, thereby reducing demand reliance on aluminum for our products. The foregoing also includes the impact of several elections worldwide, including the 2024 U.S. elections, packaging and the resulting policy shifts, the impact of such new policies implemented by the U.S. potential for increased costs due to tariffs or other jurisdictions particularly with respect to tax and trade policies, including tariffs, and the impact of sanctions and related activities by the U.S., European Union, or other jurisdictions and any increased economic uncertainty and volatility in commodity prices that it poses. shortages.
