Risk Radar (year-over-year Risk Factors)

← All Risk Radar

Fiscal period ending 2025-12-31 versus 2024-12-31view filing on EDGAR →

Risk exposure broadened materially across AI liability, regulatory compliance, competitive threats, and supply-chain cost pressures, with the only meaningful offset being the de-escalation of the Airwave litigation complex. The worsening side is substantive and multi-theme: new AI-specific legal and reputational risks, realized input-cost inflation with uncertain mitigation, mission-critical product failure liability in defense/public safety, escalating data-sovereignty and cybersecurity regulatory burden, and heightened IP litigation exposure from USPTO policy shifts. The Airwave removal (including the $748M contingency) is a genuine and significant easing, but it does not offset the breadth of deterioration elsewhere.

Data privacy regulation Revised

Addition of "data sovereignty" as explicit risk category and shift from NIS2 specifics to broader "increasingly stringent and prescriptive" cybersecurity legislation with certification/attestation requirements signals escalated regulatory burden and compliance complexity.

We are subject to complex and changing laws and regulations in various jurisdictions regarding cybersecurity, privacy, data protection, data sovereignty and information security, which exposes us to…

Common-mode changes are the macro themes many companies disclose in common; they are collapsed above. A filing marked unchanged had no material change from the prior year; its summary describes the company's standing risks, which remain in force. Fiscal periods are the reporting period ends.
