There is a possibility of further escalation of trade tensions, tariffs or additional trade restrictions. For example, in April 2025, China imposed export restrictions on certain rare earth minerals that are used in certain components of the Company’s products, which resulted in delays and shortages of certain components. If China were to further restrict exporting, or implement burdensome and lengthy licensing processes for the export of, these materials or components, or pressure other countries to do so, the Company’s and its suppliers' ability to obtain such materials or components may be disrupted and the Company may not be able to obtain sufficient quantities, or obtain supply in a timely manner, or at a commercially reasonable cost.
