Tron (TRON) risk factors, FY2024 10-K

Risks Related to Our Business

1. 01We expect our results of operations to fluctuate on a quarterly and annual basis, which could cause our stock price to fluctuate or decline
2. 02Our use of third-party manufacturers to produce our products presents risks to our business
3. 03Our business may be harmed by the imposition or threat of tariffs, including reciprocal or retaliatory tariffs, in markets in which we operate which could increase our product costs and other costs of doing business, impact consumer spending, or lower our revenues and earnings
4. 04High levels of competition and low barriers to entry make it difficult to achieve, maintain, or build upon the success of SRM’s brands, products, and product lines
5. 05SRM is not always able to successfully identify and/or satisfy consumer preferences, which could cause its business, financial condition, and results of operations to be adversely affected
6. 06General economic conditions may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations
7. 07Failure to successfully implement new initiatives or meet product introduction schedules can have an adverse effect on SRM’s business, financial condition, and results of operations
8. 08Bad or extreme weather conditions and forecasts of bad or mixed weather conditions, which may be due to climate change, can adversely impact attendance at parks where our products are sold
9. 09SRM’s business is highly seasonal, and its operating results depend, in large part, on sales during the relatively brief traditional holiday season. Events that disrupt SRM’s business during its peak demand times can adversely and disproportionately affect SRM’s business, financial condition, and results of operations
10. 10We could be subject to future product liability suits or product recalls which could have a significant adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations

13. 13Increases in labor costs and employee health and welfare benefits could have a negative impact on our cash flows, financial condition, and results of operations
14. 14Disruptions in SRM’s manufacturing operations or supply chain due to political instability, civil unrest, or disease could adversely affect SRM’s business, financial position, sales, and results of operations
15. 15We are subject to risk from fluctuating manufacturing costs of our products based on surging consumer demand. Prices of these manufacturing costs, including the components and materials of our products may be affected by supply restrictions or other market factors from time to time
16. 16We depend on large, recurring purchases from certain significant retailers, distributors and other channel partners, and a loss, cancellation or delay in purchases by these channel partners could negatively affect our revenue
17. 17SRM relies extensively on information technology in its operations, and any material failure, inadequacy, interruption, or security breach of that technology could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations
18. 18SRM faces risks related to protecting its proprietary intellectual property and information and is subject to third-party claims that SRM is infringing on their intellectual property rights, either of which could adversely affect SRM’s business, financial condition, and results of operations
19. 19If disruptions in our transportation network occur or our shipping costs substantially increase, we may be unable to sell or timely deliver our products, and our operating expenses could increase

22. 22Changes in tax laws or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect our future profitability
