Fiscal period ending 2025-12-31 versus 2024-12-31
— view filing on EDGAR →
An unresolved material weakness in deferred income tax accounting — now explicitly rendering controls ineffective — combined with a multi-period financial restatement and active SEC investigation risk marks a sharp governance and compliance deterioration. Regulatory exposure compounds across three fronts: global minimum tax uncertainty (deferred tax benefit down $200M), expanded China investment-law risk against a 92%+ Asia revenue base, and a materially heavier AI/cybersecurity compliance burden. Supply chain and customer-concentration risks also escalated, leaving no major risk theme flat or improving.
