Gone since FY2024

  • Risk Factors Related to the Power Generation Industry Decreases in the availability and quality, or increases in the cost, of raw materials, key components and labor we use to make our products could materially reduce our earnings.
  • The principal raw materials that we use to produce our products are steel, copper and aluminum as well as batteries and advanced electronic components.
  • We also source a significant number of component parts from third parties that we utilize to manufacture our products.
  • The prices of those raw materials and components are susceptible to significant fluctuations due to trends in supply and demand, commodity prices, currencies, transportation costs, government regulations and tariffs, price controls, interest rates, economic conditions and other unforeseen circumstances beyond our control.
  • In fact, we have recently seen such trends significantly impact our business resulting in higher costs and shortages in materials, components and labor, and such impacts may continue for the foreseeable future.
  • We typically do not have long-term supply contracts in place to ensure the raw materials and components we use are available in necessary amounts or at fixed prices.
  • In the short term, we have been unable to fully mitigate raw material or component price increases through product design improvements, price increases to our customers, manufacturing productivity improvements, or hedging transactions, and if our mitigation efforts continue to not be fully effective in the short or long term, our profitability could be adversely affected.
  • Also, our ability to continue to obtain quality materials and components is subject to the continued reliability and viability of our suppliers, including in some cases, suppliers who are the sole source of certain important components.
  • It has been challenging to consistently obtain adequate, cost efficient or timely deliveries of certain required raw materials and components, or sufficient labor resources while we ramp up production to meet higher levels of demand, and if this trend continues, we may be unable to manufacture sufficient quantities of products on a timely basis.
  • This could cause us to lose additional sales, incur additional costs, delay new product introductions or suffer harm to our reputation.
  • Our business could be negatively impacted if we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or if third parties claim that we are in violation of their intellectual property rights.
  • We consider our intellectual property rights to be important assets and seek to protect them through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, as well as licensing and confidentiality agreements.
  • These protections may not be adequate to prevent third parties from using our intellectual property without our authorization, breaching any confidentiality agreements with us, copying or reverse engineering our products, or developing and marketing products that are substantially equivalent to or superior to our own.
  • The unauthorized use of our intellectual property by others could reduce our competitive advantage and harm our business.
  • Not only are intellectual property-related proceedings burdensome and costly, but they could span years to resolve and we might not ultimately prevail.
  • We cannot guarantee that any patents, issued or pending, will provide us with any competitive advantage or will not be challenged by third parties.
  • Moreover, the expiration of our patents may lead to increased competition with respect to certain products.
  • In addition, we cannot be certain that we do not or will not infringe third parties’ intellectual property rights.
  • We currently are, and have previously been, subject to such third-party infringement claims, and may continue to be in the future.
  • Any such claim, even if it is believed to be without merit, may be expensive and time-consuming to defend, subject us to damages, cause us to cease making, using or selling certain products that incorporate the disputed intellectual property, require us to redesign our products, divert management time and attention, and/or require us to enter into costly royalty or licensing arrangements.
  • We may incur costs and liabilities as a result of product liability claims.
  • We face a risk of exposure to current and future product liability claims alleging to arise from the use of our products and that may purportedly result in injury or other damage.
  • Although we currently maintain product liability insurance coverage, we may not be able to obtain such insurance on acceptable terms in the future, if at all, or obtain insurance that will provide adequate coverage against potential claims.
  • Product liability claims can be expensive to defend and can divert the attention of management and other personnel for long periods of time, regardless of the ultimate outcome.
  • A significant unsuccessful product liability defense could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
  • In addition, we believe our business depends on the strong brand reputation we have developed.
  • If our reputation is damaged, we may face difficulty in maintaining our market share and pricing with respect to some of our products, which could reduce our sales and profitability.
  • Demand for our products is significantly affected by durable goods spending by consumers and businesses, and other macroeconomic conditions.
  • Our business is affected by general economic conditions, and uncertainty or adverse changes, such as the prolonged downturn in U.S. residential investment and the impact of more stringent credit standards, have previously led and could lead again to a decline in demand for our products and pressure to reduce our prices.
  • Our sales of light-commercial and industrial generators are affected by conditions in the non-residential construction sector and by the capital investment trends for small and large businesses and municipalities.
  • If these businesses and municipalities cannot access credit markets or do not utilize discretionary funds to purchase our products as a result of the economy or other factors, our business could suffer and our ability to realize benefits from our strategy of increasing sales in the light-commercial and industrial sectors through, among other things, our focus on innovation and product development, including natural gas engine and modular technology, could be adversely affected.
  • In addition, consumer confidence and home remodeling expenditures have a significant impact on sales of our residential products, and prolonged periods of weakness in consumer durable goods spending has previously had, and could again have, a material impact on our business.
  • We currently do not have any material contracts with our customers which call for committed volume, and we cannot guarantee that our current customers will continue to purchase our products at the same level, if at all.
  • If general economic conditions or consumer confidence were to worsen, or if the non-residential construction sector or rate of capital investments were to decline, our net sales and profits would likely be adversely affected.
  • Changes in government monetary or fiscal policies may negatively impact our results, including increases in interest rates which could negatively affect overall growth and impact sales of our products.
  • Additionally, the timing of capital spending by our national account customers can vary from quarter-to-quarter based on capital availability and internal capital spending budgets.
  • Also, the availability of renewable energy mandates and investment tax credits and other subsidies can have an impact on the demand for energy storage systems.
  • Our global operations are exposed to political and economic risks, commercial instability and events beyond our control in the countries in which we operate.
  • Such risks or events may disrupt our supply chain and not enable us to produce products to meet customer demand.
  • The industry in which we compete is highly competitive, and our failure to compete successfully could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

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.
