172 of 521 companies added a paragraph in Risk Factors that uses one of these words: supply chain, supply chains, single source, sole source, shortage, shortages. The paragraph is in the latest 10-K and nothing like it was in the one before. It counts text; it does not say how serious a risk is. Words in capitals only (such as AI) must be in capitals.

potential increased costs for shipping and products, and potential delays and interruptions in the supply chain. We may face challenges in sourcing materials, fulfilling orders and managing logistics efficiently, which could ultimately affect our operations, financial performance and overall business continuity. For example, as a result of the rapid global build-out of AI infrastructure, there is currently a global shortage of memory chips, which are a component in certain of our products. As a result, we are currently experiencing, and may continue to experience, constraints on the availability of memory chips. If we are unable to obtain sufficient quantities of memory chips on commercially reasonable terms, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, delays in the production and delivery of our products and increased costs to source available memory chips, any of which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. To mitigate increased hardware costs resulting from these shortages, we are implementing price increases, which may negatively impact demand for our products and may not be sufficient or timely to offset rising input costs, potentially resulting in margin compression and adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on data center facilities operated by third-party cloud service providers to host and operate our cloud-based products and services. Any limitation on the capacity of these third-party providers, or tightening availability of cloud computing resources and machine compute capacity due to increased demand from other customers, supply chain constraints, or allocation decisions by providers, could impede our ability to onboard new customers, expand usage by existing customers, or deliver our products and services with the performance and reliability our customers expect. Demand for cloud computing infrastructure and specialized computing resources, including for AI and machine

In the past, we experienced supply chain disruption and have incurred increased costs resulting from inflationary pressures and changes in U.S. trade policy. For example, we experienced supply chain disruption and inflationary pressures during our fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, resulting in increased costs for memory and other components, which have negatively affected our gross margin and could continue to affect our gross margin. Our manufacturing partners typically fulfill supply requirements on individual purchase orders without long-term capacity or pricing guarantees. Our contract with Flex permits termination for convenience, subject to prior notice requirements. Our manufacturing partners procure components and build products based on our forecasts, and from time to time, we

issue non-cancelable, non-returnable forecasts. If we are required to change manufacturing partners, or if our forecasting and inventory management systems prove inadequate, our ability to meet scheduled deliveries could be adversely affected. If our forecasts overestimate demand, we may be obligated to purchase excess inventory that we cannot sell, resulting in write-downs, increased carrying costs, and lower gross margins. Conversely, if our forecasts underestimate demand, we may experience insufficient supply, leading to product shortages, delayed deliveries, lost sales opportunities, and potential damage to customer relationships. Any production interruptions, whether from natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics, capacity shortages, or quality problems, would negatively affect sales and our business and operating results.
