  • Our failure to implement such systems successfully, on time and on budget could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.
  • In 2024, we began implementing new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) systems, which are designed to support future growth and further optimize our existing processes by harmonizing our systems and phasing out legacy systems at various businesses we have acquired over the years.
  • We will continue to implement the new systems in phases across our various entities on a worldwide basis over the next few years.
  • ERP implementations also require transformation of business and financial processes to realize the benefits of the systems.
  • The implementations and maintenance of the new systems have required, and will continue to require, the investment of significant financial and people resources and the implementations may be subject to delays and cost overruns.
  • In addition, we may not be able to successfully complete the Table of Conten t s implementations of the new ERP systems without experiencing difficulties, or even if successfully implemented, we may not fully realize the anticipated benefits.
  • Any disruptions, delays, or deficiencies in the design and implementation or the ongoing maintenance of the new systems could adversely affect our ability to provide the services and perform the business and reporting functions described above and otherwise operate our business.
  • Additionally, if we do not effectively implement the systems as planned or the systems do not operate as intended, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting could be adversely affected or our ability to assess it adequately could be delayed.
  • As we increase our reliance on cloud-based applications and platforms to operate our businesses, any disruption or interference with these platforms could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
  • As a result of the implementation of ERP systems, we are migrating a significant portion of our computing infrastructure to third party hosted cloud-based computing platforms.
  • Third-party providers of cloud-based applications and related interfaces may change the features of their applications and platforms or alter the terms governing use of their applications and application program interfaces.
  • Such changes could functionally limit our ability to use these cloud-based applications and platforms in conjunction with our other software, which would negatively impact our ability to operate properly and adversely impact our business.
  • In addition, cloud computing services may operate differently than anticipated when introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released.
  • As we increase our reliance on cloud-based computing services, our exposure to damage from service interruptions may increase.
  • In the event any such issues arise, it may be difficult for us to switch our operations from our primary cloud-based providers to alternative providers.
  • Our results of operations, cash flows and liquidity could be adversely affected if a project manager or our personnel miscalculate the resources or time needed to complete a project with capped or fixed fees, or the resources or time needed to meet contractual milestones, especially in those projects with larger durations or contract values than average.
  • We are a decentralized company and place significant decision-making authority with our subsidiaries’ leadership, supported by certain integrated policies and processes.
  • We believe our practice of conferring significant authority upon the leadership of our subsidiaries has been important to our successful growth and has allowed us to be responsive to opportunities and to our customers’ needs.
  • R ISKS R ELATED T O A CQUISITIONS AND D IVESTITURES Our business strategy includes acquiring companies and making investments that complement our existing businesses or expand into adjacent industries.
  • However, we cannot assure you that we will identify or successfully complete suitable acquisitions in the future or that completed Table of Conten t s acquisitions will be successful.
  • We cannot be certain that we will be able to successfully complete the integration process without substantial costs, delays, disruptions or other operational or financial problems.
  • Our business strategy occasionally includes divesting businesses that do not complement our existing businesses or strategic priorities, which could disrupt or adversely affect our business.
  • Divesting businesses involves risks and uncertainties, such as difficulty separating assets related to such businesses from the businesses we retain, employee distraction, and the need to obtain regulatory approvals and other third-party consents, which potentially disrupts customer and vendor relationships, and the fact that we may be subject to additional tax obligations or loss of tax benefits.
  • After we dispose of a business, we may retain exposure to financial or performance guarantees and other contractual and potential liabilities that may arise under law because of the disposition or Table of Conten t s the subsequent failure of an acquirer.
  • As a result, performance by a divested business or other conditions outside of our control could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

  • In addition, we have entered into a Credit Agreement by and among APi Group DE, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, as borrower ("APi Group DE"), APG as a guarantor, the subsidiary guarantors from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Citibank N.A., as administrative agent and as collateral agent (the "Credit Agreement").
  • The Credit Agreement governing the credit facilities contains covenants that restrict our operations.
  • If we are unable to access the capital markets on favorable terms at the time a debt obligation becomes due in the future, the price and terms upon which we might receive extensions or additional bank credit, if at all, could be more onerous than those contained in existing debt agreements.
  • We recognize revenue over time, which could result in a reduction or reversal of previously recorded revenue or profits.
  • However, given the uncertainties associated with these types of contracts, Table of Conten t s it is possible for actual costs to vary from estimates previously made, which may result in reductions or reversals of previously recorded revenue and profits.
  • Certain of our coverages are subject to large deductibles or have high self-insured retention amounts and our policies do not cover all possible claims.
  • Additionally, unknown or changing trends, risks, or circumstances, such as increases in claims or their magnitudes, a weakening economy, increases in medical costs, changes in case law or legislation, or changes in the nature of the work we perform, could render our current estimates and accruals inadequate.
  • We carry a significant amount of goodwill, identifiable intangible assets, and fixed assets on our consolidated balance sheets.
  • While we believe we have made reasonable estimates and judgments about the fair values of our reporting units which were based on facts and circumstances known at such time, it is possible that existing or new events may result in forecasted cash flows, revenue and earnings that differ from those that formed the basis of our estimates and assumptions, which could be materially different from our estimates and assumptions.
