New in FY2025

  • As part of our publicly-announced business strategy, we acquire or divest businesses or assets, enter into strategic alliances and joint ventures, make investments to realize anticipated benefits, or undertake cost-cutting initiatives, all of which are actions that involve a number of inherent risks and uncertainties.
  • If these factors limit our ability to integrate the operations of our acquisitions or to execute other strategic transactions or initiatives successfully or on a timely basis, we may not meet our expectations for future results of operations.
  • Our ability to maintain or improve our profitability could be adversely impacted by cost pressures.
  • Our business employs systems and websites that allow for the storage and transmission of proprietary or confidential information regarding our customers, employees, job applicants, and other parties, including financial information, intellectual property, and personally identifiable information.
  • We may not have the resources or technical sophistication to anticipate or prevent current or rapidly evolving types of cyber attacks including data and security breaches, malware, ransomware, hacking, and identity theft, as well as emerging threats enabled by artificial intelligence (“AI”) such as AI-generated phishing, deepfakes for social engineering, or unauthorized use of generative AI tools that could inadvertently expose sensitive data.
  • In 2023, the SEC adopted new cybersecurity rules requiring disclosure of material cybersecurity incidents and processes assessing, identifying, and managing material cybersecurity risks and the corporate governance structure designed to address such risks.
  • Any compromise or breach of our security systems could result in a violation of applicable privacy and other laws, legal and financial exposure, negative impacts on our customers’ willingness to transact business with us, and a loss of confidence in our security measures, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and our reputation.
  • Our Board, often through its Audit Committee, oversees cybersecurity risks as part of its broader enterprise risk management responsibilities, with input from management regarding the assessment and mitigation of such threats, including those involving rapidly evolving technologies like AI.

Sentence-level comparison of Item 1A in the two most recent 10-Ks (FY2024 ↗, FY2025 ↗). A reworded sentence counts as one dropped and one added, so heavy edits read as low “kept”. Headings and page furniture are stripped; nothing is summarised by a model.
