Modified · Results of Operations

Our periodic operating results may be affected in future periods by the impacts of ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical conflicts and events, including wars, tensions from developing international trade policies and tariffs, as well as changes in industry or company-specific factors or events. Considerable uncertainty remains as to the ultimate outcome of these events. We are currently unable to reliably predict the ultimate impact on our businesses, whether through changes in the availability of products, supply chain costs and efficiency, and customer demand for our products and services. It is reasonably possible there could be adverse consequences on our operating businesses, as well as on our investments in equity securities, which could significantly affect our resultsearnings.
