Risk exposure broadened across five distinct themes, with no offsetting easings. The most consequential shifts are a rising intangible asset concentration (goodwill now 46% of total assets) that amplifies impairment vulnerability, and newly disclosed variable-rate debt exposure to Term SOFR that adds direct interest cost risk. Cyber risk language moved from contingent to expected escalation, and operational quality scope widened beyond catastrophic events — together these signal a meaningfully more exposed risk profile.
