Security Division. A variety of technologies are currently used globally in non-intrusive security and inspection systems, including transmission and backscatter X-ray interrogation, 3-D computed tomography, radiation monitoring, metal detection, millimeter wave imaging, chemical trace detection, and optical inspection. We believe that the market for security and inspection products will continue to be affected by the threat of terrorist incidents, drug and human trafficking, border security, gun violence, and by new government mandates and appropriations for security and inspection products both in the United States and internationally.
Security and inspection products are used at a wide range of facilities such as airports, border crossings, seaports, freight forwarding operations (to screen cargo before it is loaded onto airplanes), government and military installations, sports and concert venues, correctional facilities, and other locations where the interdiction of criminal activities is paramount. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has undertaken numerous initiatives to prevent terrorists from entering the country, hijacking airplanes, and obtaining and transporting explosives, weapons and their components, and to prevent drug and human trafficking, among other serious crimes. These initiatives, such as the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration’s Air Cargo Screening Mandate and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Container Security Initiative, have resulted in increased demand for security and inspection products, as have similar programs undertaken by governments across the world.
The international market for non-intrusive inspection equipment and related services also continues to expand as nations procure and operate equipment to meet their own security objectives and address evolving threats, including bolstering security operations at their own borders, transportation networks, critical infrastructure facilities, and other venues. Global initiatives like the European Union’s Customs Control Equipment Instrument (CCEI) and mandates for 100% cargo scanning at key international ports are driving increased demand for advanced inspection technologies by setting higher security standards, streamlining customs processes, and promoting greater interoperability among international security frameworks. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration and other international air transportation security regulators around the world require the screening of passengers, carry-on bags and air cargo. Several of our screening system models have been approved by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration, as well as by various international regulatory bodies, for this purpose and are procured and used by government agencies, airlines, airports, freight forwarders, transportation companies and other businesses to fulfill their compliance requirements. These and other regulations promulgated by international organizations have resulted in an ongoing global demand for airline, cargo, port and border security and inspection technologies.
The global market for high-power radio frequency (RF) systems is expanding. High-power over-the-horizon radar (OTHR) can provide 24/7 coverage of air, land and orbital space well outside the political borders of most countries. The U.S. has an initiative called Golden Dome, which, among other objectives, seeks to expand air defense surveillance capability. Other countries may seek similar expanded capabilities. Global navigation systems such as GPS are under constant attack by threat actors. There is a global need for more secure and redundant systems to ensure continuous access to accurate position and time data. Secure communications networks face ever more sophisticated threats and thus demand for secure digital long-range communication is increasing.
Optoelectronics and Manufacturing Division. We believe that continued advances in technology have broadened the optoelectronics market by enabling the use of optoelectronic devices in a greater number of applications. In addition, we see the continued electrification and miniaturization of products to expand the markets for providing electronic manufacturing services to OEMs who increasingly see the benefit of outsourcing the design and manufacture of optoelectronic devices as well as value-added subsystems to fully-integrated, independent manufacturers, like us, which may offer greater specialization, broader expertise, and more flexibility to respond to short cycle times and quicker market expectations.
Our optoelectronic devices are utilized in a wide range of applications across various markets, including aerospace and defense, automotive, medical imaging and diagnostics, life sciences and biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, nanotechnology, telecommunications, construction, and homeland security. Medical applications for our devices include diagnostic and imaging products, patient monitoring equipment, and glucose monitors. Aerospace and defense applications for our devices include satellite navigation sensors, laser-guided munitions systems, range finders, and other applications that require the conversion of optical signals into electrical signals. Homeland security applications for our devices include X-ray imaging, chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive-based detection systems. Our optoelectronic devices and value-added subsystems are also used in a wide range of measurement control, monitoring, and industrial applications, serving as key components in telecommunications technologies. We also offer electronics manufacturing services to broader markets, as well as to our optoelectronics customers and our Security and Healthcare divisions.

Healthcare Division. Healthcare has been, and we believe will continue to be, a growing economic sector throughout much of the world. Developing countries in Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region are expected to continue to build healthcare infrastructure to serve expanding middle class populations. In developed areas, especially the United States, Europe, and mature Asian countries, aging populations and extended life expectancy are projected to fuel growth in healthcare for the foreseeable future.
While we believe that the healthcare industry will continue to grow throughout much of the world, many factors are forcing healthcare providers to do more with less. These factors include inflationary pressures, labor shortages and unfavorable shifts in payor mix. The COVID-19 pandemic strained healthcare provider resources, placing increased focus on the advantages of remote monitoring and products which can be deployed flexibly, enabling hospitals to quickly reconfigure and adapt to unexpected changes. Our customers expect clinical value, economic value, and clinical decision support. Positioning our current healthcare products to demonstrate the competitive value in total cost of ownership is increasingly important in this environment. At the same time, the widespread introduction of mobile devices into the healthcare environment is creating an emerging demand for patient data acquisition and distribution. Our Healthcare division designs, manufactures and markets devices and software that respond to these factors, helping hospitals reduce costs, make better-informed clinical decisions, and more fully utilize resources.
We are a global manufacturer and distributor of patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, and connected care solutions for use in hospitals, medical clinics and physician offices. We design, manufacture and market patient monitoring solutions for critical, sub-acute and perioperative care areas of the hospital, wired and wireless networks and ambulatory blood pressure monitors, all aimed at providing caregivers with timely patient information. Our cardiology and remote monitoring systems include Holter recorders and analyzers, ambulatory blood pressure monitors, resting and stress electrocardiography (ECG) devices, and ECG management software systems and related software and services.
Growth Strategy
We believe that one of our primary competitive strengths is our expertise in designing and manufacturing cost-effective specialized electronic systems and components for critical applications. As a result, we will continue to leverage such expertise and capacity to gain price, performance and agility advantages over our competitors in the security, healthcare and optoelectronics fields, and to translate such advantages into profitable growth in these fields. At the same time, we continually seek to identify new markets in which our core expertise and capacity will provide us with competitive advantages. Key elements of our growth strategy include:
Capitalizing on Global Reach. We operate from multiple locations throughout the world. We view our international operations as providing an important strategic advantage over competitors. First, our international manufacturing facilities allow us to take advantage of competitive labor rates in order to lower our manufacturing costs. Second, our international offices strengthen our sales and marketing efforts and our ability to service and repair our systems by providing direct access to growing markets and to our existing international customer base. Third, our international manufacturing locations allow us to reduce delivery times to our global customer base. We intend to continue to enhance our international manufacturing and sales capabilities.
Capitalizing on Vertical Integration. Our vertical integration provides several advantages across all our divisions. These advantages include reduced manufacturing and delivery times, lower costs due to our access to competitive international labor markets and direct sourcing of raw materials and subcomponents. We also believe that we offer significant added value to our customers by providing a full range of vertically-integrated services, including component design and customization, subsystem concept design and application engineering, product development and prototyping, efficient preproduction and short run manufacturing and competitive mass production capabilities. We believe that our vertical integration differentiates us from many of our competitors and provides value to our customers who can rely on us to be an integrated and comprehensive supplier.
Capitalizing on the Market for Security and Inspection Systems. The trend toward increased screening of goods entering and departing from ports and crossing borders has resulted, and may continue to result in, the growth in the market for cargo inspection systems and turnkey security screening services that are capable of inspecting shipping containers (including trucks and rail cars) for contraband and assisting customs officials in the verification of shipping manifests. Package and cargo screening by freight forwarders, airlines and air cargo companies represents a growing sector, as regulations in the United States and Europe have continued to require screening of air cargo shipments. In Europe, increasing investment in border security and immigration management to combat illegal smuggling, unauthorized border crossings and other cross-border threats are creating additional growth opportunities for our cargo and vehicle inspection solutions as well as our biometric identity verification screening technologies. We are capitalizing on opportunities to replace, service and upgrade existing security installations, and offering turnkey security screening solutions in which we are constructing, staffing and/or operating security screening checkpoints for our customers.

We expect that a market for software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms that are capable of integrating the data that security inspection systems produce with related information derived from vehicle license plates, cargo container numbers, drivers’ licenses, government databases, and other sources will also continue to develop, mature and grow, particularly as customers shift their operating procedures to take advantage of secure, cloud-based, networking technologies. We are a leader in the development of these platforms, including the transmission of such data to operators that may be working within secure, remote screening facilities hundreds or thousands of miles away from the security checkpoint. Our platforms are used by customs and tax authorities in the United States, Europe, Middle East, Oceania and Latin America to screen millions of containers and vehicles. We believe that government agencies and commercial customers will continue to rely on such SaaS offerings to review and adjudicate screening decisions remotely, over secure networks, as well as to communicate with and monitor the performance of their employees working on the ground at distant ports, border crossings and other checkpoints. In addition, we deliver inspection algorithms combining data and image information into SaaS integrated operations.
Finally, we also intend to continue to develop new security and inspection products and technologies, including software and algorithms, and to enhance our current product and service offerings through internal research and development and selective acquisitions.
Improving and Complementing Existing Medical Technologies. We develop and market patient monitoring systems, cardiology and remote monitoring products, connected care solutions, remote clinical monitoring, clinical decision support, and associated supplies and accessories. Our efforts to develop new products and improve our existing medical technologies are focused on the needs of healthcare organizations, caregivers, and their patients. Our efforts to improve existing medical technologies concentrate on providing products that are flexible and intuitive to use so that clinicians can deliver accurate, precise, reliable and cost-effective care.
Selectively Entering New Markets. We intend to continue to selectively enter new markets that complement our existing capabilities in the design, development and manufacture of specialized electronic systems and components for critical applications such as security inspection, patient monitoring and cardiology and remote monitoring. We believe that by manufacturing products that rely on our existing technological capabilities, we will leverage our integrated design and manufacturing infrastructure to build a larger presence in new markets that present attractive competitive dynamics. We intend to achieve this strategy through internal growth and through selective acquisitions.
Acquiring New Technologies and Companies. Our success depends in part on our ability to continually enhance and broaden our product offerings in response to changing technologies, customer demands and competitive pressures. We have developed expertise in our various lines of business and other areas through internal research and development efforts, as well as through selective acquisitions. We expect to continue to seek acquisition opportunities to broaden our technological expertise and capabilities, lower our manufacturing costs and facilitate our entry into new markets.

In recent years, security and inspection products have increasingly been used at a wide range of facilities in addition to airports, such as border crossings, railways, seaports, cruise line terminals, sports and entertainment venues, freight forwarding operations, government and military installations and nuclear facilities. As a result of the use of security and inspection products at additional facilities, we have diversified our portfolio of security and inspection products and our sales channels.
Many of our security and inspection systems utilize dual-energy X-ray imaging technology, in combination with software enhanced imaging methods and algorithms to facilitate the detection of contraband materials and items such as explosives, weapons, and narcotics. Dual energy imaging allows some material properties to be identified. Additionally, dual-view X-ray imaging allows operators to view and examine objects from two directions simultaneously, thereby improving the operator’s ability to detect threats quickly and effectively. Some of our systems also use different types or combinations of X-ray imaging in addition to dual-energy, such as multi-view and computed tomography. Algorithms that process images and related data from these systems significantly enhance the overall probability of detection of a range of threat items and materials. Typical threat items include explosives and weapons.
Our inspection systems range in size from compact, handheld and table-top products to large systems comprising entire buildings in which trucks, shipping containers or pallets are inspected. Many of our inspection systems are also designed to be upgradeable to respond to new customer requirements as they emerge or change.
Our cargo and vehicle inspection applications, in which vehicles, cars, trucks, shipping containers, pallets and other large objects can be inspected, are designed in various configurations, including mobile, portal, gantry, and rail systems. Our customers use these products to verify the contents of cars, trucks, rail cars and cargo containers and to detect the presence of contraband, including narcotics, weapons, explosives, radioactive and nuclear materials and other smuggled items. Most of our cargo and vehicle inspection systems employ X‐ray imaging to inspect objects and present images to an inspector, including shapes, sizes, locations and relative densities of the contents. These systems utilize transmission imaging, backscatter imaging, or both technologies in combination. We also manufacture passive radiation monitoring devices for detecting nuclear materials utilizing their gamma and neutron signatures. Additionally, we have developed isotope‐specific identification algorithms. Many of these systems have been built to meet specific requirements of our government customers.
Our broad portfolio of non-intrusive inspection systems permits us to offer customers solutions that are tailored to their specific operational requirements, performance standards and budgets. In many cases, we have designed our systems to meet the performance specifications of relevant regulators, including authorities located in the United States, United Kingdom and European Union. This is particularly the case with respect to systems used (or approved for use) to perform screening of airline passenger carry-on items, hold (checked) baggage and air cargo.
Our Security division also offers trace detection systems that are designed to detect trace amounts of explosives and narcotics and people screening products, such as walk-through metal detectors for use at security checkpoints at airports, government buildings, sports arenas and other venues. We also advance the application of radio frequency (RF) broadcast transmission and scientific and industrial equipment, specializing in the custom design, development, and manufacture of digital and analog high-power RF systems for a global customer base across various sectors, including science, industrial, government, defense, and broadcast objectives.
Optoelectronic Devices and Manufacturing Services. Optoelectronic devices designed, manufactured, and sold through our Optoelectronics and Manufacturing division generally consist of both active and passive components. A collection of active components detects lights of different wavelengths and converts light into electrical signals. Meanwhile, another set of devices emits light in the form of lasers, transforming electricity into light. Passive components are responsible for amplifying, separating, and reflecting light. These products are manufactured in standard and customized configurations for specific applications and are offered either as components or as subsystems. Our optoelectronic products and services are provided primarily under the “OSI Optoelectronics” trade name.
In addition to manufacturing standard and OEM products, we also specialize in designing and manufacturing customized, value-added subsystems for use in a wide range of products and equipment. An optoelectronic subsystem typically consists of one or more optoelectronic components that are combined with other electronic components and packaging for use in an end product. The composition of a subsystem can range from a simple assembly of various optoelectronic devices that are incorporated into other subsystems (for example, a printed circuit board containing our optoelectronic devices) to complete end products (for example, pulse oximetry equipment).

We believe that our international maintenance service capabilities allow us to be competitive in selling our security and inspection systems as well as our patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, and connected care systems.
Research and Development
Our security and inspection systems are designed and developed across a global network of engineering and software teams in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Singapore, and India. These teams work in an integrated manner across mechanical, electrical, and software disciplines to deliver complete inspection solutions. In addition to system design, we provide civil works and system integration services to deploy and connect our platforms within broader operational environments, including customer networks and external data systems. Our software teams play a central role in this integration, enabling secure data exchange, remote operations, and the continuous improvement of inspection performance. We support cooperative and government-funded research initiatives with universities, laboratories, and government agencies. Through ongoing software development and algorithm enhancements, we are able to address increasingly complex inspection challenges and deliver measurable improvements in detection, efficiency, and operational scalability.
We design and manufacture optoelectronic devices, and we provide electronics manufacturing services primarily in our facilities in the United States and internationally in the United Kingdom, Canada, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Mexico. We engineer and manufacture subsystems to solve the specific application needs of our OEM customers. Additionally, we provide comprehensive subsystem design and manufacturing solutions. We consider our engineering personnel to be an important extension of our core sales and marketing efforts. Our engineering teams also design and develop processes for fabricating our custom products, from semiconductor wafer-level to complete products, to ensure that our technology and products meet the latest market trends.
Our healthcare products are primarily designed at our facilities in the United States, the United Kingdom and India. These products include enterprise and embedded software, networking, connectivity, mechanical, electronic and software subsystems, most of which are designed by us. We are also currently involved, both in the United States and internationally, in research projects aimed at improving our medical systems and at expanding our current product lines.
In addition to close collaboration with our customers in the design and development of our current products, we maintain an active program for the development and introduction of new products, enhancements and improvements to our existing products, including the implementation of new applications of our technology. We seek to further enhance our research and development program and consider such program to be an important element of our business and operations.
Manufacturing and Materials
We currently manufacture our security and inspection systems domestically in California and Massachusetts, and internationally in Germany, Malaysia and the United Kingdom. We manufacture our RF products in Texas. We currently manufacture our patient monitoring and cardiology and remote monitoring systems in Washington state. We outsource manufacturing of certain of our supplies and accessories.

Our global manufacturing organization has expertise in optoelectronics, microelectronics, and integrated electronics for industrial and automation, medical, aerospace and defense industry applications. Our manufacturing includes semiconductor silicon and laser wafer processing and fabrication, optoelectronic device assembly and screening, thin and thick film microelectronic hybrid assemblies, surface mount and through-hole printed circuit board electronic assemblies, cable and harness assemblies, LCD and TFT displays, box-build manufacturing, and flex and rigid - flex circuitry on a complete turnkey basis. To support our manufacturing operations, we outsource specific requirements, including sheet metal fabrication and molding of plastic components.
The principal raw materials and subcomponents used in producing our security and inspection systems consist of X-ray generators, linear accelerators, detectors, data acquisition and computer systems, conveyance systems, vehicles, and miscellaneous mechanical and electrical components. A large portion of the optoelectronic devices, subsystems and circuit card assemblies used in our inspection systems are manufactured in-house. A large proportion of our X-ray generators, linear accelerators, computers and conveyance systems used in our cargo and vehicle inspection systems are purchased from unaffiliated third-party providers. We purchase high-power RF vacuum tubes from foreign and domestic sources.
The principal raw materials and subcomponents used in producing our healthcare products consist of printed circuit boards, housings, mechanical assemblies, pneumatic devices, touch screens, medical grade displays, cables, filters, textiles, fabric, gauges, fittings, tubing and packaging materials. We purchase finished medical devices, computers, peripheral accessories, and remote displays from unaffiliated third-party providers.
The principal raw materials and subcomponents used in producing our optoelectronic devices and electronic subsystems consist of semiconductor wafers, electronic components, light-emitting diodes, scintillation crystals, passive optical components, printed circuit boards, and packaging materials. The silicon-based optoelectronic devices we manufacture are critical components in most of our products and subsystems. We purchase silicon wafers and other electronic components from unaffiliated third-party providers.
For cost, quality control, technological, and efficiency reasons, we purchase specific materials, parts, and components only from single vendors with whom we have ongoing relationships. We do, however, qualify alternative sources for many of our materials, parts, and components. We purchase most materials, parts, and components pursuant to purchase orders placed from time to time in the ordinary course of business.
Information Technology and Cybersecurity Risk Management
We rely extensively on digital technology to conduct operations and engage with our customers and business partners. As the complexity of our engagements grows, so do the threats from cyber-intrusion, ransomware, denial of service, phishing, account takeover, data manipulation and other cyber-misconduct. To counter these threats, we have implemented an information security management system (ISMS) focused on data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Our ISMS has been certified as ISO/IEC 27001-2022 compliant, and we engage independent third parties (ISO auditors and security compliance firms) to test and assess our cybersecurity controls annually. Similarly, we conduct external cyber-penetration testing annually to assess and improve our security posture and reduce cybersecurity risk. Through a combination of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) resources, we also (i) proactively monitor IT controls to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (ii) perform third-party risk management assessments, (iii) ensure essential business functions remain available during business disruptions, (iv) develop and update incident response plans to address potential weaknesses, and (v) maintain cyber-incident management and reporting procedures. Our ISMS and GRC processes are designed to prioritize IT and cybersecurity risk areas, identify solutions that minimize such risks, pursue optimal outcomes, and maintain compliance with contractual obligations. We maintain a global security operations center with the capability to investigate and trigger impact mitigation protocols in real-time. These capabilities allow us to reduce exposure should a security incident arise. For additional information regarding the risks associated with these matters, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and Item 1C. “Cybersecurity.”
Trademarks and Trade Names and Patents
Trademarks and Trade Names. We have used, registered and applied to register certain trademarks and service marks to distinguish our products, technologies and services from those of our competitors in the United States and in foreign countries. We monitor and, when necessary, enforce our trademark, service mark and trade name rights in the United States and abroad.
Patents. We possess rights to a number of U.S. and foreign patents relating to various aspects of our security and inspection products, healthcare products and optoelectronic devices and subsystems. Our current patents will expire at various times between 2026 and 2044. While we continue to file new applications and pursue new patents, it remains possible that pending patent applications or
9
Table of Contents
other applications that may be filed may not result in issued patents. In addition, issued patents may not survive challenges to their validity or enforceability, or may be found to not be infringed by any third parties. Although we believe that our patents have value, our patents, or any additional patents that may be issued in the future, may not be able to provide meaningful protection from competition.
We believe that our trademarks and trade names and patents are important to our business. The loss of some of our trademarks or patents might have a negative impact on our financial results and operations. Nevertheless, with the exception of the loss of the Rapiscan® or Spacelabs® trademarks, the impact of the loss of any single trademark or patent would not likely have a material adverse effect on our business.
Government Regulation of Medical Devices
The patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, and connected care systems we design, manufacture, and market are subject to regulation by numerous government agencies, principally the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and by other federal, state, local and foreign authorities. These systems are also subject to various U.S. and foreign product performance and safety standards. Our medical device product candidates must undergo an extensive government regulatory clearance or approval process prior to sale in the United States and other countries, including submission demonstrating clinical safety and efficacy of intended use, as well as the continuing need for compliance with applicable laws and regulations. This may require significant interaction with regulatory agencies and the expenditure of substantial resources.
United States FDA. In the United States, the FDA has broad regulatory powers with respect to preclinical and clinical testing of new medical devices and the designing, manufacturing, labeling, storage, record keeping, marketing, advertising, promotion, distribution, post-market monitoring and reporting and import and export of medical devices. Unless an exemption applies, federal law and FDA regulations require that all new or significantly modified medical devices introduced into the market be preceded either by a premarket notification clearance under section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), or an approved premarket approval (PMA) application. Under the FFDCA, medical devices are classified into one of three classes—Class I, Class II or Class III—depending on the degree of risk associated with each medical device and the extent of control needed to provide reasonable assurances with respect to safety and effectiveness. Class I devices are those for which safety and effectiveness can be reasonably assured by adherence to a set of regulations, referred to as General Controls, which require compliance with the applicable portions of the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (QSR) facility registration and product listing, reporting of adverse events and malfunctions and truthful and non-misleading promotional materials. Some Class I devices, also called Class I reserved devices, also require premarket clearance by the FDA through the 510(k) premarket notification process described below. Most Class I products are exempt from the premarket notification requirements.
Class II devices are those that are subject to the General Controls, as well as Special Controls as deemed necessary by the FDA, which can include performance standards, guidelines and post-market surveillance. Most Class II devices are subject to premarket review and clearance by the FDA. Premarket review and clearance by the FDA for Class II devices is accomplished through the 510(k) premarket notification process.
Class III devices include devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk such as life-supporting or life-sustaining devices, or implantable devices, in addition to those deemed not substantially equivalent following the 510(k) process. The safety and effectiveness of Class III devices cannot be reasonably assured solely by the General Controls and Special Controls described above. Therefore, these devices are typically subject to the PMA application process, which is more costly and time consuming than the 510(k) process and requires substantial clinical data. To date, all of the patient monitoring and cardiology and remote monitoring systems we manufacture and sell in the United States have required only 510(k) pre-market notification clearance.

Table of Contents
We are subject to pervasive and continuing post-approval governmental regulation, including, but not limited to, the registration and listing regulation, which requires manufacturers to register all manufacturing facilities and list all medical devices placed into commercial distribution; Quality System (also known as Good Manufacturing Practices) Regulations, which requires manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, risk management, validation, testing, production, control, supplier and contractor selection, complaint handling, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during the manufacturing process; product and promotional labeling regulations; advertising and promotion requirements; restrictions on sale, distribution or use of a device; and the Medical Device Reporting (MDR) regulation, which requires that manufacturers report to the FDA if their device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if it were to reoccur. Noncompliance with these standards can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civil penalties, recalls or seizures of products, total or partial suspension of production, refusal of the government to grant clearance or approval of devices, withdrawal of marketing approvals and criminal prosecutions. We believe that our design, manufacturing and quality control procedures comply with the FDA’s regulatory requirements. Our facilities, records and manufacturing processes are also subject to periodic scheduled and unscheduled inspections by the FDA. Failure to comply with the applicable United States medical device regulatory requirements could result in, among other things, warning letters, untitled letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees, civil penalties, unanticipated expenditures, repairs, replacements, refunds, recalls or seizures of products, operating restrictions, total or partial suspension of production, the FDA’s refusal to issue certificates to foreign governments needed to export products for sale in other countries, the FDA’s refusal to grant future premarket clearances or approvals, withdrawals or suspensions of current product clearances or approvals and criminal prosecution.
In February 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a final rule revising the Quality System Regulation (QSR) to align more closely with ISO 13485:2016, now referred to as the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR), which became effective on February 2, 2026.
We have undertaken activities to assess and update our quality management system to align with QMSR requirements. Because our quality management system was already substantially aligned with ISO 13485, we do not expect the transition to QMSR to have a material impact on our operations or compliance posture. However, failure to fully implement or maintain compliance with QMSR could result in regulatory enforcement actions, which could adversely affect our business.
Coverage and Reimbursement. Government and private sector initiatives to limit the growth of healthcare costs, including price regulation and competitive pricing, coverage and payment policies, comparative effectiveness therapies, technology assessments and managed care arrangements, are continuing in many countries where we do business, including the United States, Europe and Asia. As a result of these changes, the marketplace has placed increased emphasis on the delivery of more cost-effective medical therapies. In addition, because there is generally no separate reimbursement from third-party payers to our customers for many of our products, the additional costs associated with the use of our products can impact the profit margin of our customers. Accordingly, these various initiatives have created increased price sensitivity over healthcare products generally and may impact demand for our products and technologies.
Healthcare cost containment efforts have also prompted domestic hospitals and other customers of medical devices to consolidate into larger purchasing groups to enhance purchasing power, and this trend is expected to continue. The medical device industry has also experienced some consolidation, partly in order to offer a broader range of products to large purchasers. As a result, transactions with customers are larger, more complex and tend to involve more long-term contracts than in the past. These larger customers, due to their enhanced purchasing power, may attempt to increase the pressure on product pricing.
Other Healthcare Laws. In addition to FDA restrictions on marketing and promotion of drugs and devices, other federal and state laws restrict our business practices. These laws include, without limitation, data privacy and security laws, anti-kickback and false claims laws, and transparency laws regarding payments or other items of value provided to healthcare providers.
As a participant in the healthcare industry, we are subject to extensive regulations protecting the privacy and security of patient health information that we receive, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009, which was enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (collectively, “HIPAA”). Among other things, these regulations impose extensive requirements for maintaining the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information, known as “protected health information.” The HIPAA privacy regulations do not preempt state laws and regulations relating to personal information that may also apply to us. Our failure to comply with these regulations could expose us to civil and criminal sanctions.

Table of Contents
The HIPAA provisions also created federal criminal statutes that prohibit among other actions, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private third-party payers, knowingly and willfully embezzling or stealing from a healthcare benefit program, willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense, and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statutes or specific intent to violate them to have committed a violation. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulations that may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payer, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.
The federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting or receiving any remuneration (including any kickback, bribe or rebate), directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, to induce or in return for the purchasing, leasing, ordering, or arranging for or recommending the purchase, lease or order of items or services for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under Medicare, Medicaid or other federal healthcare programs. The term “remuneration” has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value. Although there are a number of statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Further, a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the federal civil False Claims Act.
The federal False Claims Act prohibits, among other things, any person or entity from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment or approval to the federal government, or knowingly making, using or causing to be made or used a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim to the federal government. A claim includes “any request or demand” for money or property presented to the U.S. Government. Medical device manufacturers have been held liable under these laws if they are deemed to cause the submission of false or fraudulent claims by, for example, providing customers with inaccurate billing or coding information. When an entity is determined to have violated the False Claims Act, it may be subject to repayment of three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus significant mandatory civil penalties for each separate false claim. Suits filed under the False Claims Act can be brought by any individual on behalf of the government and such individuals (known as “relators” or, more commonly, as “whistleblowers”) may share in any amounts paid by the entity to the government in fines or settlement. These whistleblower - initiated False Claims Act cases are commonly referred to as “qui tam” actions. False Claims Act cases may also be initiated by the U.S. Department of Justice or any of its local U.S. Attorneys’ Offices. In addition, certain states have enacted laws modeled after the federal False Claims Act. Qui tam actions have increased significantly in recent years, causing greater numbers of healthcare companies to have to defend a false claim action, even before the validity of the claim is established and even if the government decides not to intervene in the lawsuit. Healthcare companies may decide to agree to large settlements with the government and/or whistleblowers to avoid the cost and negative publicity associated with litigation.
These laws impact the kinds of financial arrangements we may have with hospitals or other potential purchasers of our products. They particularly impact how we structure our sales offerings, including pricing, customer support, education and training programs, physician consulting, research grants and other service arrangements. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of the health regulatory laws described above or any other laws that apply to us, we may be subject to material penalties, including potentially significant criminal and civil and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, imprisonment, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, contractual damages, reputational harm, and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could materially and adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our results of operations.
Additionally, there has been a trend towards increased federal and state regulation of payments and other transfers of value provided to healthcare professionals or entities. The federal Physician Payment Sunshine Act requires that certain device manufacturers track and report to the government information regarding payments and other transfers of value to physicians, certain other clinical staff, and teaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their family members. A manufacturer’s failure to submit timely, accurately and completely the required information for all payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests may result in civil monetary penalties for “knowing failures.” Certain states also mandate implementation of compliance programs, impose restrictions on device manufacturer marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensation and other remuneration to healthcare professionals and entities.

We are subject to similar laws in foreign countries where we conduct business. For example, within the EU, the control of unlawful marketing activities is a matter of national law in each of the member states. The member states of the EU closely monitor perceived unlawful marketing activity by companies. We could face civil, criminal, and administrative sanctions if any member state determines that we have breached our obligations under its national laws. Industry associations also closely monitor the activities of member companies. If these organizations or authorities name us as having breached our obligations under their regulations, rules or standards, our reputation would suffer, and our business and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Other Foreign Healthcare Regulations
We are also subject to regulation in the foreign countries in which we manufacture, market, and/or import our products. For example, the commercialization of certain products, including medical devices, in the EU is regulated under a system that presently requires all such products sold in the EU to bear the CE marking—an international symbol of adherence to the medical device regulations and standards of the EU. Our manufacturing facilities in Hawthorne, California; Snoqualmie, Washington; Johor Bahru, Malaysia; Batam, Indonesia; and Hyderabad, India are all certified to the International Organization for Standardization’s ISO 13485 standard for quality management. Our Hawthorne, California and Snoqualmie, Washington facilities are also certified to the requirements of Annex II, section 3 of the Directive 93/42/EEC on Medical Devices, which allows them to self-certify that manufactured products can bear the CE marking. Further, the implementation of the Restriction of Hazardous Substance Directive (“ROHS”) requires that certain products, including medical devices, shipped into the EU eliminate targeted ROHS substances.
The International Medical Device Regulators Forum has implemented a global approach to auditing manufacturers of medical devices. This audit system, called the Medical Device Single Audit Program (“MDSAP”), provides for an annual audit of a medical device manufacturer by a certified body on behalf of various regulatory authorities. Current authorities participating in MDSAP include the Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia, Brazil’s Agencia Nacional de Vigilancia Sanitaria, Health Canada, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, and the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency and the FDA. It is expected that more regulatory authorities will participate in MDSAP in the future.
We and other medical device manufacturers are confronted with major changes in the EU’s decades-old regulatory framework governing market access to the EU. The EU’s Medical Devices Regulation (“EU MDR”) has replaced the EU’s Medical Device Directive (93/42/EEC) and the EU’s Directive on active implantable medical devices (90/385/EEC). The EU MDR imposes stricter requirements for the marketing and sale of medical devices, including in the areas of clinical evaluation, quality systems and post-market surveillance, than the medical device directives replaced by the EU MDR.
Manufacturers of currently approved medical devices have a transition time to meet the requirements of the EU MDR with expiration of such transition time depending on the class of medical device being manufactured. The EU MDR differs in several important ways from the EU’s directives for medical devices and active implantable medical devices replaced thereby. The most significant changes in the regulations include:
● The EU MDR requires rigorous post-market oversight of medical devices.
13
Table of Contents
We have a team dedicated to updating and revising key systems, processes, and product technical documentation to meet the EU MDR requirements.
Environmental Regulations
We are subject to various environmental laws, directives, and regulations pertaining to the use, storage, handling and disposal of hazardous substances used, and hazardous waste generated, in the manufacture of our products. Such laws mandate the use of controls and practices designed to mitigate the impact of our operations on the environment, and under such laws we may be held liable for the costs associated with the remediation and removal of any unintended or previously unknown releases of hazardous substances on, beneath or from our property and associated operations, including the remediation of hazardous waste disposed off-site. Such laws may impose liability without regard to whether we knew of, or caused, the release of such hazardous substances. Any failure by us to comply with present or future regulations could subject us to the imposition of substantial fines, suspension of production, alteration of manufacturing processes or cessation of operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We believe that, except to an extent that would not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, we are currently in compliance with all environmental regulations in connection with our manufacturing operations, and that we have obtained all environmental permits necessary to conduct our business. The amount and type of hazardous substances used, and hazardous waste generated, by us may increase in the future depending on changes in our operations. To ensure compliance and practice proper due diligence, we conduct appropriate environmental audits and investigations at our manufacturing facilities in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe, and, to the extent practicable, on all new properties. Our manufacturing facilities conduct regular internal audits to ensure proper environmental permits and controls are in place to meet changes in operations. Third-party investigations address matters related to current and former occupants and operations, historical land use, and regulatory oversight and status of associated properties and operations (including surrounding properties). The purpose of these studies is to identify, as of the date of such report, potential areas of environmental concern related to past and present activities or from nearby operations. The scope and extent of each investigation is dependent upon the size, complexity and operation of the property and on recommendations by independent environmental consultants.
Competition
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and characterized by evolving customer needs and rapid technological change. We compete with other manufacturers, some of which have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we have. In addition, some competitors may have the ability to respond rapidly to new or emerging technologies, adapt more quickly to changes in customer requirements, have stronger customer relationships, have greater name recognition and devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we do. As a result, we may not be able to compete successfully against all designers and manufacturers of specialized electronic systems and components or within all markets for security and inspection systems, patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, or optoelectronic devices. Future competitive pressures may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In the security and inspection market, competition is based primarily on factors such as product performance specification standards, quality and reliability, maintenance and repair competency, government regulatory approvals and qualifications, the overall cost effectiveness of the system, prior customer relationships and reputation, technological capabilities of the products, price, local market presence, historical program execution experience, and breadth of sales and service organization. Competition results in price reductions and reduced margins and could result in loss of market share. Although our competitors offer products in competition with one or more of our products, we can supply a variety of system types and we offer among the widest arrays of security inspection solutions available from a single supplier. This variety of technologies also permits us to offer unique combinations and hybrid systems to our customers that utilize two or more of these technologies, thereby optimizing flexibility, performance and cost to meet each customer’s unique application requirements.
14
Table of Contents
In the patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring,clinical monitoring and connected care markets, competition is also based on a variety of factors including product performance, functionality, value and breadth of sales and service organization. Competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss of our market share. We believe that our patient monitoring products are easier to use than the products of many of our competitors because we offer a consistent user interface throughout many of our product lines. We also believe that the capability of our monitoring systems to connect together, and to the hospital infrastructure, is a key competitive advantage. Further, while some of our competitors are also beginning to introduce portal technology, which allows remote access to data from the bedside monitor, central station or other point of care, we believe that our competing technologies bring valuable, instant access to labs, radiology and charting at the point of care. In the patient monitoring and connected care markets we face many large international players. Our competitive advantage in this market is via our solution delivery and workflow and communications software (SafeNSound) as well as our FDA cleared clinical decision support (Rothman Index) software. Our offering in this market in the USA uniquely addresses the needs of our customers.
In cardiology and remote monitoring our competitors are more regionally based. Our differentiators in these markets are our analyzer software solutions as well as our ambulatory blood pressure monitors.
In the markets where we operate, providing optoelectronic devices and electronics manufacturing services, our customers evaluate us and our competitors based on several key factors. These include expertise in the design and development of optoelectronic devices, product quality, timely delivery, pricing, technical support, and the ability to offer fully integrated services that span application development and design through to production. Because our custom optoelectronic components and subsystems require a high degree of engineering expertise, there are very few significant competitors in the United States, Europe, or Asia. The competition in the broader electronic manufacturing services market ranges from multinational corporations with sales exceeding several billion dollars to large regional competitors and small local assembly companies. In our experience, the OEM customers to whom we provide such services often prefer to engage companies that offer both local and lower-cost offshore facilities. Along with a number of domestic competitors for these services, our high-volume, low-cost contract manufacturing locations in Southeast Asia compete with other manufacturers in the same region.
Backlog
We currently measure our backlog as quantifiable purchase orders or contracts that have been signed, for which revenues are expected to be recognized within the next five years. In instances where we are not able to estimate the value of a purchase order or contract, they are not included in backlog.
We ship most of our baggage and parcel inspection, people screening, trace detection, patient monitoring, cardiology, remote monitoring systems and optoelectronic devices and value-added subsystems within one to several months after receiving an order. However, such shipments may be delayed for a variety of reasons, including supply chain disruptions and any special design or requirements of the customer. In addition, large orders of security and inspection and RF transmission products and orders for our most complex systems typically require greater lead-times. Further, we provide turnkey screening services to certain customers for which we may recognize revenue over multi-year periods.
Certain of our cargo and vehicle inspection systems and our radio frequency transmission products may require more than a year of lead-time. We have experienced some significant delays associated with shipments of our cargo and vehicle inspection systems to certain customers. Such delays can occur for many reasons, including: (i) additional time necessary to coordinate and conduct factory inspections with the customer before shipment; (ii) a customer’s need to engage in time-consuming site construction projects to accommodate the system, over which we may have no control or responsibility; (iii) additional fine tuning of such systems once they are installed; (iv) design or specification changes by the customer; (v) time needed to obtain export licenses and/or letters of credit; (vi) delays originating from other contractors on the project; and (vii) shipping, logistics, and supply chain constraints.
As of June 30, 2026, our consolidated backlog totaled approximately $1.9 billion, compared to $1.8 billion as of June 30, 2025. Sales orders underlying our backlog are firm orders, although, from time to time we may agree to permit a customer to cancel an order, or an order may be cancelled for other reasons. Variations in the size of orders, product mix, or delivery requirements, among other factors, may result in substantial fluctuations in backlog from period to period. Backlog as of any particular date should not be relied upon as indicative of our revenues for any future period and should not be considered a meaningful indicator of our performance on an annual or quarterly basis.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Set forth below and elsewhere in this report and in other documents we file with the SEC are descriptions of the risks and uncertainties that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and could make an investment in our securities speculative or risky. We encourage you to carefully consider all such risk factors when making investment decisions regarding our company. If any such risks, or any other risks that we do not currently consider to be material, or which are not known to us, materialize, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.
Business and Industry Risks
If operators of, or algorithms installed on, our security and inspection systems fail to detect weapons, explosives or other devices or materials that are used to commit acrime, terrorist act or other mass casualty event, we could be exposed to product and professional liability and related claims for which we may not have adequate insurance coverage. Our business exposes us to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the development, manufacturing, sale, maintenance and repair of security and inspection systems, software and threat detection algorithms, as well as in the provision of training to our customers in the use and operation of such systems. Our customers use our security and inspection systems to help them detect items that could be used in performing terrorist acts, mass casualty events or other crimes. Some of our security and inspection systems require that an operator interpret an image of suspicious items within a bag, parcel, container, vehicle or other vessel. Others rely on threat detection algorithms, or use such algorithms to signal to the operator that further investigation is recommended. The selection, training, supervision, reliability and competence of such operators are often crucial to the detection of suspicious items.
Security inspection systems that rely on threat detection algorithms or that use such algorithms to signal to the operator that further investigation is recommended are sometimes referred to in the security industry as “automatic” detection systems. If such a system were to fail to signal when an explosive, weapon or other contraband was present, resulting in loss of life or damage, we would be subject to risk of significant product liability claims. Security inspection by such technological means is circumstance and application-specific. Our security and inspection systems offer significant capabilities, but also have performance limitations and cannot be designed to reveal or detect contraband under all circumstances, particularly if criminal actors successfully conceal such items. They can also malfunction or underperform, including if not properly maintained or repaired.
We also offer various turnkey security screening solutions under which we perform some or all of the security screening tasks that have historically been performed by our customers, including the development, administration and performance of security screening procedures; operation of the security inspection systems; and analysis of images and information generated by such systems. Such projects expose us to professional liability risks that are inherent in performing security inspection services for the purpose of detecting contraband items, including items that could be used in performing terrorist acts, mass casualty events or other crimes. If a contraband item were to pass through the turnkey security services that we perform for a customer and be used to perform a terrorist act, mass casualty event or other crime, we would be subject to risk of significant professional liability claims for which adequate insurance coverage may not be available.
The loss of certain of our customers, including government agencies that can modify or terminate agreements more easily than other commercial customers with which we contract, the failure to continue to diversify our customer base or the non-renewal of certain material contracts could have a negative effect on our reputation and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We sell many of our products to prominent, well-respected institutions, including agencies and departments of the U.S. Government, state and local governments, foreign governments, renowned hospitals and hospital networks, and large military defense and space industry contractors. Many of these larger customers spend considerable resources testing and evaluating our products and our design and manufacturing processes and services. Some of our smaller customers know this and rely on this as an indication of the quality and reliability of our products and services. As a result, part of our reputation and success depends on our ability to continue to sell to larger institutions that are known for demanding high standards of excellence. The loss or termination of a contract by such an institution, even if for reasons unrelated to the quality of our products or services, could therefore have a more wide-spread and potentially material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our acquisition and alliance activities could result in disruption of our ongoing business and other operational difficulties, unrecoverable costs, and other negative consequences, any of which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. We intend to continue to make investments in companies, products and technologies, either through acquisitions, investments or alliances. Acquisition and alliance activities often involve risks, including: (i) difficulty in assimilating the acquired operations and employees and realizing synergies; (ii) potential liabilities of, or claims against, an acquired company, some of which might not be known until after the acquisition; (iii) difficulty in managing product development activities with our alliance partners; (iv) difficulty in effectively coordinating sales and marketing efforts; (v) difficulty in combining product offerings and product lines quickly and effectively; (vi) difficulty in retaining the key employees of the acquired operation; (vii) disruption of our ongoing business, including diversion of management time; (viii) inability to successfully integrate the acquired technologies and operations into our businesses and maintain uniform standards, controls, policies and procedures; (ix) unanticipated changes in market or industry practices that adversely impact our strategic and financial expectations regarding an acquired company or acquired assets and require us to write off or dispose of such acquired company or assets; (x) lacking the experience necessary to enter into new product or technology markets successfully; and (xi) difficulty in integrating financial reporting systems and implementing controls, procedures and policies, including disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, appropriate for public companies of our size at companies that, prior to the acquisition, had lacked such controls, procedures and policies.
Integrating acquired businesses is complex, time consuming and expensive, and can negatively impact the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. As a result of these and other risks, we cannot be certain that our acquisitions will be successful and will not materially adversely affect the conduct, operating results or financial condition of our business.
Substantial declines in crude oil prices or extended periods of low crude oil prices may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Some of our international customers have procurement budgets that are strongly correlated with fluctuations in the price of crude oil. Historically, the market for crude oil has been volatile and unpredictable. Crude oil prices are subject to rapid and significant fluctuations in response to global events and relatively minor changes in supply and demand. While factors relating the price of crude oil to demand for our products and services are complex, a period of depressed crude oil prices may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Unfavorable currency exchange rate fluctuations could adversely affect our financial results. Our international sales and our operations in foreign countries expose us to risks associated with fluctuating currency values and exchange rates. Gains and losses on the conversion of accounts receivable, accounts payable and other monetary assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars may contribute to fluctuations in our results of operations. We also use forward contracts which are intended to mitigate the impact of certain foreign currency exposures. These forward contracts may not completely offset foreign currency gains and losses. In addition, since we conduct business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar but report our financial results in U.S. dollars, increases or decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
U.S. budgeting process disruptions could reduce government spending, which could adversely impact our revenues, earnings, cash flows and financial condition. Funding for U.S. federal Government activities takes place on an annual basis with the Government fiscal year beginning on October 1 and ending on September 30. In recent years, the budgeting process has often not been completed by October 1st, which has required the temporary extension of funding authority. This in turn can and has resulted in temporary Government shutdowns, causing delays in procurements and contract awards. Because the provision of appropriated funds is undertaken on an annual basis and subject to budgetary rules and requirements, there can be disruptions to federal funding of current and future procurements.
We face aggressive competition in each of our operating divisions. If we do not compete effectively, our business will be harmed. We encounter aggressive competition from numerous competitors in each of our divisions. In the security and inspection and patient monitoring and cardiology systems markets, competition is based primarily on such factors as product performance, functionality and quality, prior customer relationships, technological capabilities of the product, price, certification by government authorities, past performance, local market presence and breadth of sales and service organization. In the optoelectronic devices and electronics manufacturing markets, competition is based primarily on factors such as expertise in the design and development of optoelectronic devices, product quality, timeliness of delivery, price, customer technical support and on the ability to provide fully-integrated services from application development and design through volume subsystem production. We may not be able to compete effectively with all of our competitors. To remain competitive, we must develop new products and enhance our existing products and services in a timely manner. We anticipate that we may have to downward adjust the prices of many of our products to stay competitive. In addition, new competitors may emerge and entire product lines or service offerings may be threatened by new technologies or market trends that reduce the value of these product lines or service offerings. Our failure to compete effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Healthcare cost containment pressures and legislative or regulatory reforms may affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Third-party payers globally are developing increasingly sophisticated methods of controlling healthcare costs which can limit the amount that healthcare providers may be willing to pay for medical devices. In the United States, hospital and other healthcare provider customers that purchase our products typically bill various third-party payers to cover all or a portion of the costs and fees associated with the procedures or tests in which our products are used and bill patients for any deductibles or copayments. Because there is often no separate reimbursement for our products, any decline in the amount payers are willing to reimburse our customers for the procedures and tests associated with our products could make it difficult for customers to continue using, or adopt, our products and create additional pricing pressure for us.
There have been, and we expect there will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals to change the healthcare system, and some could significantly affect the ways in which doctors, hospitals, healthcare systems and health insurance companies are compensated for the services they provide, which could have a material impact on our business. It is not clear at this time what changes may impact the ability of hospitals and hospital networks to purchase the patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, and connected care systems that we sell or if it will alter market-based incentives that hospitals and hospital networks currently face to continually improve, upgrade and expand their use of such equipment. Efforts by governmental and third-party payers to reduce healthcare costs or the implementation of new legislative reforms imposing additional government controls could cause a reduction in sales or in the selling price of our products, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Consolidation in the healthcare industry could have a material and adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations. The healthcare industry has been consolidating and organizations such as group purchasing organizations, independent delivery networks, and large single accounts continue to consolidate purchasing decisions for many of our healthcare provider customers. As a result, transactions with customers are larger, more complex and tend to involve more long-term contracts. The purchasing power of these larger customers has increased, and may continue to increase, causing downward pressure on product pricing. If we are not one of the providers selected by one of these organizations, we may be precluded from making sales to its members or participants. Even if we are one of the selected providers, we may be at a disadvantage relative to other selected providers that are able to offer volume discounts based on purchases of a broader range of products. Further, we may be required to commit to pricing that has a material adverse effect on our revenues and profit margins, business, financial condition and results of operations. We expect that market demand, governmental regulation, third-party reimbursement policies and societal pressures will continue to change the worldwide healthcare industry, resulting in further business consolidations and alliances, which may exert further downward pressure on the prices of our products and could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Technological advances and evolving regulatory standards could reduce our future product sales, which could cause our revenues to grow more slowly or decline. The markets for our products are characterized by rapidly changing technology, changing customer needs, evolving industry or regulatory standards and certifications and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. The emergence of new industry or regulatory standards and certification requirements may adversely affect the demand for our current products. In addition, any products or processes that we currently offer or plan to develop may become obsolete or uneconomical before we recover all or any of the expenses incurred in connection with their development. We cannot provide assurance that we will succeed in developing and marketing product enhancements or new products that respond to technological change, new industry standards, evolving customer requirements or competitive products on a timely and cost‐effective basis. Additionally, even if we are able to develop new products and product enhancements to meet any such standards, we cannot provide assurance that they will be profitable or that they will achieve market acceptance. We also develop certain of our security inspection technologies to meet the certification requirements of various government regulatory agencies worldwide. Such standards change as threat and risk assessments evolve and as new technology becomes available within the industry, which enables regulators to demand performance improvements. We may not ultimately be able to develop, or develop in a timely way, solutions that meet the new standards.
Certain of our government contracts are dependent upon our employees obtaining and maintaining required security clearances, as well as our ability to obtain security clearances for the facilities in which we perform sensitive government work. Certain of our government contracts require our employees to maintain various levels of security clearances, and we are required to maintain certain facility security clearances. If we cannot maintain or obtain the required security clearances for our facilities and our employees, or obtain these clearances in a timely manner, we may be unable to perform certain government contracts. Further, loss of a facility clearance, or an employee’s failure to obtain or maintain a security clearance, could result in a government customer terminating an existing contract or choosing not to renew a contract. Lack of required clearances could also impede our ability to bid on or win new government contracts. This could damage our reputation and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We could be subject to changes in tax rates, the adoption of new U.S. or international tax legislation, or exposure to additional tax liabilities. We are subject to taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Tax rates in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change due to economic and political conditions or otherwise. Our effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, or adoption of new tax legislation or changes in tax laws or their interpretation. We are also subject to the examination of our tax returns and other tax matters by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities and governmental bodies. We regularly assess the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for taxes. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of these examinations. If our effective tax rates were to increase, or if the ultimate determination of our taxes owed is for an amount in excess of amounts previously accrued, our financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.
Geopolitical instability and conflicts in the Middle East could adversely affect our operations, supply chain, and financial performance. Ongoing military conflict and political instability in the Middle East have created heightened uncertainty in global markets. Escalating hostilities in the region, including disruptions affecting key shipping lanes and energy-producing areas, may result in increased transportation costs, longer transit times, or interruptions in the availability of critical materials. These conditions could impair our ability to fulfill customer orders and maintain normal production schedules and could disrupt customer operations, procurement activities, and project timing. In addition, conflict-related volatility in global oil and gas markets may lead to higher input costs, inflationary pressure, and reduced customer demand in certain end markets. If the conflict expands geographically or intensifies, governments may impose new sanctions, export controls, or other regulatory restrictions that limit our ability to transact with certain suppliers, customers, or financial institutions.
We also rely on third-party logistics providers and carriers that operate in or near affected regions. Any disruption to their operations—including port closures, airspace restrictions, or rerouting of vessels—could materially affect our delivery timelines and cost structure. Because the duration and outcome of the conflict are uncertain, we may experience additional unforeseen impacts. Any of these factors, individually or collectively, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We cannot predict the consequences of current or future geopolitical events, but they may adversely affect the markets in which we operate and our results of operations. Ongoing instability and current conflicts in global markets, and the potential for other conflicts and future terrorist activities and other recent geopolitical events throughout the world, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East and its regional effects, and increased tensions in Asia, have created and may continue to create economic and political uncertainties and impacts that could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, and profitability. These types of matters cause uncertainty in financial markets and may significantly increase the political, economic and social instability in the geographic areas in which we operate. In addition, in connection with the current status of international relations with Russia, particularly in light of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. Government has imposed enhanced export controls on certain products and sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia. The governments of other jurisdictions in which we operate, such as the European Union and Canada, may also implement sanctions or other restrictive measures. These potential sanctions and export controls, as well as any responses from Russia, could adversely affect us and/or our supply chain, business partners, or customers.
Operational Risks
As a U.S. Government contractor, we are subject to extensive Federal procurement rules and regulations as well as contractual obligations that are unique to doing business with the U.S. Government. Non-compliance with any such rules, regulations or contractual obligations could negatively affect current programs, potential awards and our ability to do business with the U.S. Government in the future. U.S. Government contractors must comply with extensive procurement regulations and other requirements. In addition, U.S. Government contracts typically contain provisions and are subject to laws and regulations that provide government agencies rights not typically found in commercial contracts, including the ability to: (i) terminate, reduce the value of, or otherwise modify existing contracts; (ii) suspend or prohibit us from doing business with the government or a specific government agency; and (iii) claim rights in technologies and systems invented, developed or produced by us, in whole or in part, at the government’s expense. U.S. Government agencies and the agencies of many other governments with which we contract can terminate their contracts with us for convenience, and in that event, we generally may recover only our incurred costs and expenses on the work completed prior to termination. If an agency terminates a contract with us for default, we may be denied any recovery and may be liable for excess costs incurred by the agency in procuring undelivered items from an alternative source. Decisions by an agency to terminate one of our contracts for default could negatively affect our ability to win future awards not only from such agency, but also from other government

agencies and commercial customers, many of whom evaluate past performance, or are required to review past performance information, when making their procurement decisions. U.S. Government agencies may also initiate civil False Claims Act litigation against us based on allegations related to our performance of contracts for the U.S. Government, or to our compliance with procurement regulations and other legal requirements to which such contracts are subject, or both. Such litigation can be expensive to defend and if found liable can result in treble damages and significant civil penalties. The U.S. Government may also initiate administrative proceedings that, if resulting in an adverse finding against us or any of our subsidiaries as to our present responsibility to be a U.S. Government contractor or subcontractor, could result in our company or our subsidiaries being suspended for a period of time from eligibility for award of new government contracts or task orders or in a loss of export privileges and, if satisfying the requisite level of seriousness, in our debarment from contracting with the U.S. Government for a specified term as well as being subject to other remedies available to the U.S. Government. The occurrence of any of the foregoing events could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Due to the competitive process to obtain contracts and the likelihood of protests, we may be unable to achieve or sustain revenue growth and profitability. A significant portion of our business is generally awarded through a competitive bidding process, which involves substantial costs, including cost and time to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may not be awarded to us, may be split among competitors or that may be awarded but for which we do not receive meaningful task orders. Following contract award, we may encounter significant expense, delay, contract modifications or even contract loss as a result of our competitors protesting the award of contracts to us in competitive bidding. Any resulting loss or delay of start-up and funding of work under protested contract awards may adversely affect our revenues and profitability. In addition, multi-award contracts require that we make sustained post-award efforts to obtain task orders under the contract. As a result, we may not be able to obtain these task orders or recognize revenues under these multi-award contracts. Our failure to compete effectively in this procurement environment would adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
Our revenues are dependent on orders of security and inspection systems, turnkey security screening solutions and patient monitoring and cardiology and remote monitoring systems, which may have lengthy and unpredictable sales cycles. Sales of security and inspection systems and turnkey security screening solutions often depend upon the decision of governmental agencies to upgrade or expand existing airports, border crossing inspection sites, seaport inspection sites, military facilities and other security installations. In the case of turnkey security screening solutions, the commencement of screening operations may be dependent on the approval, by a government agency, of the protocols and procedures that our personnel are to follow during the performance of their activities. In addition, turnkey screening solutions projects require that we hire and manage large numbers of local personnel in jurisdictions where we may not have previously operated. Sales outside of the United States of our patient monitoring and cardiology and remote monitoring systems depend in significant part on the decision of governmental agencies to build new medical facilities or to expand or update existing medical facilities. Accordingly, a significant portion of our sales of security and inspection systems, turnkey security screening solutions and our patient monitoring and cardiology and remote monitoring systems is often subject to delays associated with the lengthy approval processes. During these approval periods, we expend significant financial and management resources in anticipation of future revenues that may not occur. If we fail to receive such revenues after expending such resources, such failure could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we do not introduce new products in a timely manner, our products could become obsolete and our operating results would suffer. We sell many of our products in industries characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards and customer needs. Without the timely introduction of new products and enhancements, our products could become technologically obsolete over time, in which case our revenue and operating results would suffer. The success of our new product offerings will depend upon several factors, including our ability to: (i) accurately anticipate customer needs; (ii) innovate and develop new technologies and applications; (iii) successfully commercialize new technologies in a timely manner; (iv) price our products competitively and manufacture and deliver our products in sufficient volumes and on time; and (v) differentiate our offerings from our competitors’ offerings. Some of our products are used by our customers to develop, test and manufacture their products. We therefore must anticipate industry trends and develop products in advance of the commercialization of our customers’ products. In developing any new product, we may be required to make a substantial investment before we can determine the commercial viability of the new product. If we fail to accurately foresee our customers’ needs and future activities, we may invest heavily in research and development of products that do not lead to significant revenues.

Increased prices for, and interruptions in our ability to purchase, raw materials and subcomponents may adversely affect our profitability. In recent years, inflation and supply chain constraints have resulted in increases in the prices we pay third parties for many of the subcomponents and raw materials used in our products. We generally do not have guaranteed long-term supply arrangements with our suppliers. In addition, for certain raw materials and subcomponents that we use, there are a limited number of potential suppliers that we have qualified or that we are currently able to qualify. Consequently, some of the key raw materials and subcomponents that we use are currently available to us only from a single vendor. The reliance on a single qualified vendor could result in delays in delivering products or increases in the cost of manufacturing the affected products. Any material interruption in our ability to purchase necessary raw materials or subcomponents or a significant increase in price of raw materials or subcomponents could adversely affect our ability to fulfill customer orders and therefore could ultimately have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We contract with third parties that may be unable to fulfill contracts on time. We contract with third-party vendors to service our equipment in the field. In addition, some of these vendors maintain stocks of spare parts that are more efficiently accessed in conjunction with a service agreement than would be the case if we were to maintain such spare parts independently. Any material interruption in the ability of our vendors to fulfill such service contracts could adversely affect our ability to fulfill customer orders and therefore could ultimately have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, purchasers of our security and inspection systems and turnkey security screening solutions sometimes require the construction of the facilities that will house our systems and/or operations. We engage qualified construction firms to perform this work. However, if such firms experience delays, if they perform sub-standard work or if we fail to properly monitor the quality of their work or the timeliness of their progress, we may not be able to complete our construction projects on time. In any such circumstance, we could face the imposition of delay penalties and breach of contract claims by our customer. Any material delay caused by our construction firm subcontractors could therefore ultimately have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We accumulate excess quantities or elevated inventory levels from time to time. Because of long lead times and specialized product designs, in certain cases we purchase components and manufacture products in anticipation of customer orders based on customer forecasts. For a variety of reasons, such as decreased end-user demand for our products or other factors, our customers might not purchase all the products that we have manufactured or for which we have purchased components. If we are unsuccessful in recouping our material and manufacturing costs, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, because of the complex customer acceptance criteria associated with some of our products, on some occasions, the title of which or risk of loss has passed to our customers are still included in our inventory until revenue recognition criteria are met. As a result, inventory levels are elevated from time to time.
Economic, political, legal, operational and other risks associated with international sales and operations could adversely affect our financial performance. Our businesses are subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. Many of our manufacturing facilities, and therefore employees, suppliers, real property, capital equipment, cash and other assets are located outside the United States. Accordingly, our future results could be harmed by a variety of factors, including without limitation: (i) changes in foreign currency exchange rates; (ii) changes in a country’s or region’s political or economic conditions, particularly in developing or emerging markets; (iii) political and economic instability, including the possibility of civil unrest, terrorism, mass violence or armed conflict; (iv) geopolitical events, wars and military conflicts; (v) longer payment cycles of foreign customers and difficulty of collecting receivables in foreign jurisdictions; (vi) imposition of domestic and international taxes, export controls, tariffs, embargoes, sanctions, trade disputes, and other trade restrictions; (vii) difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations; (viii) difficulty in managing distributors and sales agents and their compliance with applicable laws; (ix) changes in a foreign government’s budget, leadership and national priorities; (x) increased legal risks arising from differing legal systems; and (xi) compliance with export control and anticorruption legislation.

The enactment of tariffs by the U.S. Government, along with the unpredictability of the rates and other potential actions that may be taken by the U.S. Government and foreign governments (including trade restrictions, new or increased tariffs or quotas, reciprocal tariffs, embargoes, sanctions and counter sanctions, safeguards or customs restrictions) may materially increase our costs and reduce our margins. These actions may also lead to higher pricing for our products, potentially reducing consumer demand and impacting our sales. We are actively monitoring the impact of any tariffs that become effective, as well as potential retaliatory actions by other countries. We are currently taking actions to mitigate this cost pressure, including accelerating, increasing or canceling inventory, further diversifying suppliers and re-sourcing to countries with lower tariffs, working with longstanding factory partners to reduce costs, identifying further cost reductions across our business, planning for strategic price increases and pursuing potential tariff refunds. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to implement any strategies in a timely fashion, that these measures will be successful, or that they will offset the negative impact of the tariffs and other government actions on our business.
Given the uncertainty regarding scope and duration of the current and potential tariffs, as well as the potential for additional trade actions by the U.S. or other countries, the specific impact to our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition is uncertain but could be material.
There are inherent risks associated with operations in Mexico. We are currently in the process of fulfilling agreements to provide cargo and vehicle inspection systems and related services to government customers in Mexico. The following are certain risks to operating in Mexico that could adversely impact our operations and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations: (i) ability of key suppliers and subcontractors to fulfill obligations on a timely basis; (ii) cooperation of various departments of the Mexican government in issuing permits, and inspecting our operations on a timely basis; (iii) receipt of payments in a timely manner; (iv) significant penalties in the event of our late delivery or non-performance; (v) termination or change in scope of program at the election of the Mexican government; (vi) regional political and economic instability; (vii) high rate of crime in Mexico where we conduct operations; (viii) change in the value of the Mexican peso; and (ix) changes in administration of various departments in the Mexican government associated with our agreements.
Our operations are vulnerable to interruption or loss due to natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics such as COVID-19, terrorist acts and other events beyond our control, which could adversely impact our operations. Although we perform manufacturing in multiple locations, we generally do not have redundant manufacturing capabilities in place for any particular product or component. As a result, we depend on our current facilities for the continued operation of our business. A natural disaster, epidemic or pandemic, terrorist act, act of war, civil unrest, or other natural or manmade disaster affecting any of our facilities could significantly disrupt our operations, or delay or prevent product manufacturing and shipment for the time required to repair, rebuild, or replace our manufacturing facilities. This delay could be lengthy and we could incur significant expenses to repair or replace the facilities. Any similar natural or manmade disaster that affects a key supplier or customer could lead to a similar disruption in our business.
Any recall of our products, either voluntarily or at the direction of the FDA or another governmental authority, or the discovery of serious safety issues with our products that leads to corrective actions, could have a material adverse impact on us. All medical devices can experience performance problems that require review and possible corrective action by us or a component supplier. Component failures, manufacturing errors, noncompliance with quality system requirements or good manufacturing practices, design defects, software defects or labeling inadequacies in any device could result in an unsafe condition or injury to the patient. The FDA and similar foreign governmental authorities have the authority to require the recall of commercialized products in the event of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture of a product or if a product poses an unacceptable risk to health. Manufacturers may also, under their own initiative, stop shipment or recall a product if any material deficiency is found or withdraw a product to improve device performance or for other reasons. A government mandated or voluntary recall by us could occur as a result of an unacceptable risk to health, component failures, manufacturing errors, noncompliance with good manufacturing practices or quality system requirements, design or labeling defects or other deficiencies and issues. Similar regulatory agencies in other countries have similar authority to recall products because of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture that could endanger health. A recall involving our products could be particularly harmful to our business, financial and operating results. In addition, under the FDA’s medical device reporting regulations, we are required to report to the FDA any incident in which our product may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or in which our product malfunctioned and, if the malfunction were to recur, would likely cause or contribute to death or serious injury. A future recall announcement could harm our reputation with customers and negatively affect our sales. In addition, the FDA or a foreign governmental authority could take enforcement action for failing to report the recalls when they were conducted.

Depending on the corrective action we take to redress a product’s deficiencies or defects, the FDA or applicable foreign regulatory authority may require, or we may decide, that we will need to obtain new approvals or clearances for the device before we may market or distribute the corrected device. Seeking such approvals or clearances may delay our ability to replace the recalled devices in a timely manner. Moreover, we may face additional regulatory enforcement action, including FDA warning letters, product seizure, injunctions, administrative penalties, civil penalties or criminal fines. We may also be required to bear other costs or take other actions that may have a negative impact on our sales as well as face material adverse publicity or regulatory consequences, which could harm our business, including our ability to market our products in the future. Any adverse event involving our products, whether in the United States or abroad, could result in future voluntary corrective actions, such as recalls or customer notifications, or agency action, such as inspection, mandatory recall, orders of repair, replacement or refund or other enforcement action. Any corrective action, whether voluntary or involuntary, as well as defending ourselves in a lawsuit, will require the dedication of our time and capital and may harm our reputation and financial results.
We rely on third parties and our own systems for interaction with our customers and suppliers and employees, and a failure of a key information technology system, process or site or any other failure or interruption in the services provided by these third parties or our own systems could have a material adverse impact on our ability to conduct business. We rely extensively on our information technology systems and systems and services provided by third parties to interact with our employees and our customers and suppliers. These interactions include, but are not limited to, ordering and managing materials from suppliers, converting materials to finished products, shipping product to customers, processing transactions, summarizing and reporting results of operations, transmitting data used by our service personnel and by and among our wide-spread personnel and facilities, complying with regulatory, legal and tax requirements, and other processes necessary to manage our business. We do not control our third-party service providers and we do not maintain redundant systems for some of such services, increasing our vulnerability to problems with such services. If the systems on which we rely are damaged or cease to function properly due to any number of causes, ranging from failures of our third-party service providers to catastrophic events, to power outages, to security breaches, we may suffer interruptions in our ability to manage operations which may adversely impact our business, results of operations and/or financial condition.
We could suffer a loss of revenue and increased costs, exposure to significant liability, reputational harm, and other serious negative consequences if we sustain cyber-attacks or other data security breaches that disrupt our operations or result in the dissemination of proprietary or confidential information about us or our customers, suppliers, or other third parties; our products and services may be subject to potential cyber-attacks or other information technology vulnerabilities. We manage and store proprietary, sensitive and confidential data related to our business operations. We may be subject to cyber-attacks and breaches of the information technology systems we use for these purposes. Threat actors may be able to penetrate our network and application security and misappropriate or compromise our confidential information or that of third parties, create system disruptions, or cause operational harm. Hackers may also be able to deploy viruses, worms, malware, ransomware and other malicious software programs that attack our systems or otherwise exploit security vulnerabilities in our systems or products. In addition, sophisticated hardware and operating system software and applications that we produce or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacturing, including “vulnerabilities,” “bugs” and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with the operation of our systems or products. Cyber-threats vary in technique, are persistent, frequently change, and increasingly are more sophisticated, targeted, and difficult to detect or prevent. We expend significant capital and resources to protect against the threat of security breaches, including cyber-attacks, viruses, worms, malware, ransomware and other malicious software programs. Substantial additional expenditures may be required before or after a cyber-attack to mitigate or alleviate problems caused by unauthorized access, theft of data stored within our information systems, or the introduction of computer malware or ransomware to our environment. Our remediation efforts may not be successful, and there could be interruptions, delays, or cessation of service due to cyber-attacks or other data security breaches.

We often identify attempts to gain unauthorized access to our systems. Given the rapidly evolving nature and proliferation of cyber-threats, there can be no assurance that our employee training, operational, and other technical security measures or other controls will detect, prevent or remediate security or data breaches in a timely manner or otherwise prevent unauthorized access, damage, or interruption of our systems and operations. We are likely to face attempted cyber-attacks in the future. Cyber threat activity is expected to accelerate as adversaries increasingly leverage AI to enhance attack sophistication and scale. Accordingly, we may be vulnerable to losses associated with the improper functioning, security breach, or unavailability of our information systems as well as any systems used in acquired operations. In addition, breaches of our security measures and the unapproved use or disclosure of proprietary information or sensitive or confidential data about us or our suppliers, customers or other third parties could expose us or any such affected third party to a risk of loss or misuse of this information, result in litigation and potential liability for us, damage our brand and reputation or otherwise harm our business, even if we were not responsible for the breach. Furthermore, we are exposed to additional risks because we rely in certain capacities on third-party software, data management, and cloud service providers with possible security problems and security vulnerabilities beyond our control. Media or other reports of perceived security vulnerabilities to our systems or those of our third-party suppliers, even if no breach has been attempted or occurred, could adversely impact our brand and reputation and materially and adversely impact our business.
Our products and services may also be at risk of cyber-attacks and security breaches. While we design and build security measures into our products and services, once installed and implemented at customer sites those measures may not prevent all cybersecurity attacks targeted against their networks and datacenters, such as the unauthorized access, capture, or alteration of information; the exposure or exploitation of potential security vulnerabilities; distributed denial of service attacks; the installation of malware or ransomware; acts of vandalism; computer viruses; or misplaced data or data loss.
A significant actual or perceived (whether or not valid) theft, loss, fraudulent use or misuse of customer, employee, or other personally identifiable data, whether by us, our partners and vendors, or other third parties, or as a result of employee error or malfeasance or otherwise, non-compliance with applicable industry standards or our contractual or other legal obligations regarding such data, or a violation of our privacy and information security policies with respect to such data, could result in costs, fines, litigation, or regulatory actions against us. Such an event could additionally result in unfavorable publicity and therefore materially and adversely affect the market’s perception of the security and reliability of our products and services and our credibility and reputation with our customers. Given increasing cybersecurity threats, there can be no assurance that we will not experience business interruptions, data loss, ransom, misappropriation, or corruption or theft or misuse of proprietary information or related litigation and investigation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and harm our business reputation.
Delays, costs, and disruptions that result from upgrading, integrating and maintaining the security of our information and technology networks and systems could materially and adversely affect us. We are dependent on information technology networks and systems, including Internet and Internet-based or “cloud” computing services, to collect, process, transmit, and store electronic information. We are currently modernizing and upgrading our information technology systems while also simultaneously integrating systems from our various acquisitions, including making changes to legacy systems, and replacing some legacy systems with new and advanced functionality. While upgrading and implementing changes to any one of our systems could present challenges, the age of our systems and architecture may present unique challenges that we have not previously encountered as we undertake these efforts. There are inherent costs and risks associated with integrating, replacing and changing these systems and implementing new systems, including potential disruption of our sales and operations, potential disruption of our internal control structure, substantial capital expenditures, additional administration and operating expenses, demands on management time, securing our systems along with dependent processes from cybersecurity threats, and other risks and costs of delays or difficulties in transitioning to new systems or of integrating new systems into our current systems. The implementation of or delay in implementing new information technology systems may also cause disruptions in our business operations and impede our ability to comply with constantly evolving laws, regulations and industry standards addressing information and technology networks, privacy and data security, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our inability to successfully manage the implementation of a company-wide enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system could adversely affect our operating results. We are in the process of implementing a new company-wide ERP system. This process has been and continues to be complex and time-consuming, and we expect to incur additional capital outlays and expenses. This ERP system will modernize and replace many of our existing operating and financial systems, which is a major undertaking from a financial management and personnel perspective. Should the new ERP system not be implemented successfully throughout all our business units, be significantly delayed or over-budget or if the system does not perform in a satisfactory manner, it could be disruptive and adversely affect our operations, including our potential ability to report accurate, timely and consistent financial results, our ability to purchase supplies, components and raw materials from suppliers, and our ability to timely deliver products and services to customers and/or collect receivables from them. If the new ERP system is not successfully and fully implemented, it could negatively affect our financial reporting, inventory management, future sales, profitability and financial condition.
Our credit facility contains provisions that could restrict our ability to finance our future operations or engage in other business activities that may be in our interest. Our credit facility contains a number of significant covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to: (i) dispose of assets; (ii) incur certain additional indebtedness; (iii) repay certain indebtedness; (iv) create liens on assets; (v) pay dividends on our common stock; (vi) make certain investments, loans and advances; (vii) repurchase or redeem capital stock; (viii) make certain capital expenditures; (ix) engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations; and (x) engage in certain transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates. These covenants could limit our ability to plan for or react to market conditions, finance our operations, engage in strategic acquisitions or disposals or meet our capital needs or could otherwise restrict our activities or business plans. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control. In addition, our credit facility also requires us to maintain compliance with certain financial ratios. Our inability to comply with the required financial ratios or covenants could result in an event of default under our credit facility. A default, if not cured or waived, may permit acceleration of our indebtedness. In addition, our lenders could terminate their commitments to make further extensions of credit under our credit facility. If our indebtedness is accelerated, we cannot be certain that we will have sufficient funds to pay the accelerated indebtedness or that we will have the ability to refinance accelerated indebtedness on terms favorable to us or at all. If we are not able to refinance existing indebtedness on acceptable terms, our ability to finance our operations, engage in strategic acquisitions, and otherwise meet our capital needs would be significantly impaired. As further discussed in Note 8, we amended and extended our credit facility in July 2025.
Shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) or the 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”), collectively the “Notes”, may dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders or may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.The conversion of any portion of the Notes may dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders. Upon conversion of the Notes, the default settlement method is a combination settlement with a specified dollar amount of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of notes and shares of our common stock as described in Note 8. Any sales in the public market of our common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. Also the existence of the Notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the Notes could be used to satisfy short positions, or anticipated conversion of the Notes into shares of our common stock could depress the price of our common stock.
Our indebtedness (including the Notes) could limit the cash flow available for our operations, expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and impair our ability to satisfy our debt obligations, including the Notes. Our indebtedness could have significant negative consequences for our security holders and our business, results of operations and financial condition by, among other things: (i) increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions; (ii) limiting our ability to obtain additional financing; (iii) requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness, which will reduce the amount of cash available for other purposes; (iv) limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business; and (v) placing us at a possible competitive disadvantage with competitors that are less leveraged than us or have better access to capital. Our business may not generate sufficient funds, and we may otherwise be unable to maintain sufficient cash reserves, to pay amounts due under our indebtedness, including the Notes, and our cash needs may increase in the future. If we fail to comply with debt covenants or to make payments under our indebtedness when due, then we would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, result in such indebtedness and our other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full.

We may be unable to raise the funds necessary to repurchase the Notes for cash following a fundamental change, or to pay the cash amounts due upon conversion, and our other indebtedness may limit our ability to repurchase the Notes or pay cash upon their conversion. Noteholders may, subject to a limited exception, require us to repurchase their Notes following a fundamental change (as defined in the Convertible Note Indenture) at a cash repurchase price generally equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the related fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, all conversions of Notes require the principal amount to be settled in cash. We may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to repurchase the Notes or pay the cash amounts due upon conversion. In addition, applicable law, regulatory authorities and the agreements governing our other indebtedness may restrict our ability to repurchase the Notes or pay the cash amounts due upon conversion. Our existing credit facility contains certain limitations on cash payments for the conversion, redemption or repurchase of the Notes, including compliance with certain leverage ratios on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such cash payments. Our failure to repurchase Notes or pay the cash amounts due upon conversion when required will constitute a default under the Note Indenture. A default under the Note Indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our other indebtedness, which may result in that other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full. We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy all amounts due under the other indebtedness and the Notes.
Provisions in the Note Indenture could delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover of us. Certain provisions in the Notes and the Note Indenture could make a third-party attempt to acquire us more difficult or expensive. For example, if a takeover constitutes a fundamental change, then, subject to certain exceptions, noteholders will have the right to require us to repurchase their 2029 Notes for cash. In addition, if a takeover constitutes a make-whole fundamental change, then we may be required to temporarily increase the conversion rate. In either case, and in other cases, our obligations under the Notes and the Note Indenture could increase the cost of acquiring us or otherwise discourage a third party from acquiring us or removing incumbent management, including in a transaction that noteholders or holders of our common stock may view as favorable.
