Financial report summary
?Competition
Coherent • PANASONIC • MKS Instruments • Furukawa Electric • nLIGHT • Fanuc • Lumentum • Laser Photonics • Nuburu Inc - Ordinary SharesRisks
- Uncertainty and adverse changes in the general economic conditions of markets in which we participate negatively affect our business.
- The markets for our products are highly competitive and currently subject to significant price and technological competition, and if we are unable to compete successfully, it could result in reduced sales, reduced gross margins or the loss of market share.
- The laser industry is experiencing declining average selling prices, which could cause our gross margins to decline and harm our operating results.
- We depend on our OEM customers and system integrators to incorporate our products into their systems.
- Our manufacturing capacity and operations may not be appropriate for future levels of demand and may adversely affect our gross margins.
- A few customers account for a significant portion of our sales, and if we lose any of these customers or they significantly curtail their purchases of our products, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
- The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
- We must comply with and could be impacted by various export controls and trade and economic sanctions laws and regulations that could negatively affect our business and may change due to diplomatic and political considerations outside of our control.
- We may experience lower than expected manufacturing yields, which would adversely affect our gross margins.
- We are highly dependent on the significant experience and specialized expertise of our senior management and scientific staff. The unavailability or loss of one or more of these key employees or our failure to attract other highly skilled personnel necessary to compete successfully could harm our business and results of operations.
- Our inability to protect our intellectual property and proprietary technologies could result in the unauthorized use of our technologies by third parties, hurt our competitive position and adversely affect our operating results.
- Our information systems are subject to cyber-attacks, interruptions and failures. If unauthorized access is obtained to our information systems, we may incur significant legal and financial exposure and liabilities.
- Changes in tax rates, tax liabilities or tax accounting rules could affect future results.
- If we or our third-party vendors fail to comply with FDA regulations or similar legal requirements in foreign jurisdictions relating to the manufacturing of our products or any component part, we may be subject to fines, injunctions and penalties, and our ability to commercially distribute and sell our products may be negatively impacted.
- Failure to maintain effective internal controls may cause a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements or to cause us to delay filing our periodic reports with the SEC and adversely affect our stock price.
- Our products could contain defects, which may reduce sales of those products, harm market acceptance of our fiber laser and other products or result in claims against us.
- We are subject to government regulations, including tariffs and duties that could restrict our international sales and negatively affect our business.
- We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations that could impose substantial costs upon us and may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
- Certain trusts and a company created by the late founder of the Company collectively control over 30% of our voting power and have a significant influence on the outcome of director elections and other matters requiring stockholder approval, including a change in corporate control.
- Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law, and our severance arrangements, could prevent or delay a change in control of our company, even if a change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders.
- We have experienced, and expect to experience in the future, fluctuations in our quarterly operating results. These fluctuations may increase the volatility of our stock price and may be difficult to predict.
- Our inability to manage risks associated with our international customers and operations could adversely affect our business.
- Foreign currency risk may negatively affect our net sales, cost of sales and operating margins and could result in exchange losses.
- We pursue acquisitions and investments in new businesses, products, patents or technologies. These involve risks which could disrupt our business and may harm our financial results and condition.
- We may incur impairments to goodwill or long-lived assets, which would negatively affect our results of operations.
- We are exposed to credit risk and fluctuations in the market values of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.
- Our ability to access financial markets to raise capital or finance a portion of our working capital requirements and support our liquidity needs may be adversely affected by factors beyond our control and could negatively impact our ability to finance our operations, meet certain obligations, implement our operating strategy or complete acquisitions.
- Our short-term investment portfolio and certain cash balances could experience a decline in market value or otherwise become illiquid, which could materially and adversely affect our financial results.
Management Discussion
- ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- We develop, manufacture and sell high-performance fiber lasers, fiber amplifiers and diode lasers that are used for diverse applications, primarily in materials processing. We also manufacture and sell complementary products used with our
- lasers including optical delivery cables, fiber couplers, beam switches, optical processing heads, in-line sensors and chillers. In addition, we offer laser-based and non-laser based systems for certain markets and applications. Our portfolio of laser solutions is used in materials processing, medical procedures, advanced applications and communications. We sell our products globally to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), system integrators and end users. We market our products internationally, primarily through our direct sales force. Our major manufacturing facilities are located in the United States and Germany. As a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and related sanctions, our ability to ship and receive components from our Russian operations, has been significantly curtailed. We have and will continue to expand our manufacturing operations in Germany and the United States, and have added manufacturing capacity in Poland and expanded capacity in Italy to replace capacity in Russia. We have sales and service offices and applications laboratories worldwide.
