Risks

• Our dependency on contracts with U.S. and foreign government agencies subjects us to a variety of risks that could materially reduce our revenues or profits.
• Raw material price fluctuations may adversely affect our results.
• We are dependent upon third-party suppliers, making us vulnerable to supply shortages and price increases.
• We expect to incur costs and charges as a result of restructuring of facilities or operations that we expect will reduce on-going costs. These actions may be disruptive to our business and may not result in anticipated cost savings.
• Our results could be adversely affected by severe weather, natural disasters, and other events in the locations in which we or our customers or suppliers operate.
• Our markets are highly cyclical. Declines in these markets could have a material adverse effect on our operating performance.
• Our objective is to expand international operations and sales
• We may not be able to execute on our MOVE strategy.
• We are subject to fluctuations in exchange rates associated with our non-U.S. operations that could adversely affect our results of operations and may significantly affect the comparability of our results between financial periods.
• We are subject to changes in contract estimates
• We may experience losses in excess of our recorded reserves for doubtful accounts, finance receivables, notes receivable and guarantees of indebtedness of others.
• An impairment in the carrying value of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets could negatively affect our operating results.
• Financing costs and restrictive covenants in our current debt facilities could limit our flexibility in managing our business and increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions.
• Our international sales and operations subject us to risks that may have a material adverse effect on our business.
• Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which could cause our business and reputation to suffer.
