Changes in U.S. trade policy, including changes to existing trade agreements and any resulting changes in international trade relations, may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results.

Previous report

The recent change in the U.S.’s approach to international trade may impact existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements and treaties with foreign countries. The U.S. has imposed tariffs on certain foreign goods and may increase tariffs or impose new ones, and certain foreign governments have retaliated and may continue to do so. While certain tariffs have been paused, ultimately trade policy decisions are outside of our control and may have consequences for our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Changes in trade policies, such as new tariffs or increases in tariffs, or reactionary measures, including retaliatory tariffs, restrictions or barriers on imports and exports, legal challenges, or currency manipulation, could adversely impact us. The implementation of these or other actions has begun to and may continue to lead to increased costs for our product components or reduce availability in our supply chain, which could impact the cost to design, develop and manufacture our satellites. Changes in U.S. trade policy have created ongoing turmoil in international trade relations, and it is unclear what future actions the U.S. government or foreign governments will or will not take with respect to tariffs or other international trade agreements and policies. Current trade negotiations may fail, which may exacerbate these risks. Ongoing or new trade wars or other governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements or policies could increase our costs, adversely impact our supply chain or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results. While we intend to take steps to mitigate any impacts of tariffs or other impacts resulting from changes in trade policy, our ability to do so may be limited by operational, supply chain and other constraints.
