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

A newly disclosed merger with Chart anchors a broad-based risk escalation spanning M&A execution, geopolitical/tariff exposure, regulatory compliance, litigation, and environmental liability — the overall risk profile has worsened materially across multiple themes. The one partial offset — removal of a prior energy transition risk disclosure — is counterbalanced by new state-level GHG and international sustainability reporting obligations added in the same section, limiting its practical relief. No solvency or going-concern risk is present, but the breadth of concurrent worsening across five-plus themes places this at the upper end of moderate.
