Fiscal period ending 2025-12-31 versus 2024-12-31

Risk exposure broadened materially across five distinct themes, with no offsetting easings. The most consequential shifts are the crystallization of tariff risk from hypothetical to active (with retaliatory exposure and compliance penalties), the escalation of AI deployment risks from theoretical to operational, and a newly disclosed deregulation threat that puts R&D investments and product roadmaps at risk of impairment. Supply chain vulnerabilities deepened on two fronts simultaneously — rare earth/tariff exposure and hard manufacturing capacity limits — while the energy transition competitive risk was materially expanded to cover dual-scenario downside.

Company-specific changes
New
New disclosure of deregulation risk to emissions/environmental standards threatens substantial R&D investments, product roadmaps, and competitive positioning. Potential asset impairments and stranded costs.
Deregulation could impair our investments in future products and negatively impact our long-term growth and competitiveness. Our strategy includes significant investments in the development of new…
Revised
Expanded risk disclosure: added execution risk on energy transition strategy, competitive timing risk, capital access risk tied to ESG funding shifts, and dual-scenario downside (faster or slower transition). Materially broadens risk scope.
The development of new technologies may materially reduce the demand for our current products and services, and we may not be successful in developing new technologies and products in order to…
Revised
Added explicit disclosure of capacity constraints: manufacturing at capacity limits ability to meet increased demand, creating new operational risk beyond prior cyclical demand variability.
We face the challenge of accurately aligning our capacity with our demand. Our markets are cyclical in nature and we face periods when demand fluctuates significantly higher or lower than our normal…
Also disclosed — common-mode (Tariffs trade policy, AI cybersecurity escalation, Semiconductor supply chain constraints)
Tariffs trade policy
Revised
Shift from abstract trade policy risk to concrete, current tariff environment with retaliatory tariffs, market volatility, and new compliance costs and penalties exposure.
We operate our business on a global basis and changes in tariffs and other trade disruptions could adversely impact the demand for our products and our competitive position. We manufacture, sell and…
AI cybersecurity escalation
Revised
Escalated from potential AI use to active deployment with specific new risks: IP theft/infringement, data privacy, cybersecurity, hallucinations, biases, employee misuse, and licensing liability.
We are using AI in our business and in our products, services and features, and challenges with properly managing its use could result in reputational harm, competitive harm and legal liability, and…
Semiconductor supply chain constraints
Revised
Added explicit reference to global tariff environment and rare earth metals restrictions—new supply chain risks escalating existing disruption concerns.
BUSINESS CONDITIONS / DISRUPTIONS We are vulnerable to raw material, transportation and labor price fluctuations and supply shortages, which impacted and could continue to impact our results of…
