The most significant risks that could materially and adversely affect our business operations, financial condition, and cash flows include the risk factors described below.
- These disclosures reflect our beliefs and opinions as to factors that could materially and adversely affect us and our securities in the future. References to past events are provided by way of example only and are not intended to be a complete listing or a representation as to whether or not such factors have occurred in the past or their likelihood of occurring in the future.
- Risks Related to Our Business
- Risks Related to Our Common Stock
- We are dependent on the proper functioning of our critical facilities, our supply chain, and distribution networks as well as the financial stability of our customers.
- We must continue to introduce new products that are successful in the marketplace.
- We rely to a significant extent on outsourcing for a substantial portion of our production, and any interruptions in these arrangements could disrupt our ability to fill our customers’ orders.
- Fluctuations in the costs and availability of finished products, components, and raw materials could affect our business and operating results.
- Our business depends to a significant extent upon the brand recognition and reputation of our brands, and the failure to maintain or strengthen our brand recognition and reputation could have a material adverse effect on our business.
- We often rely on third parties, including product sourcing intermediaries, independent sales representatives and agents, that act on our behalf.
- Our operating results could be materially harmed if we are unable to forecast demand for our products accurately.
- An inability to expand our e-commerce business could reduce our future growth.
The other 38 risks

- A substantial portion of our revenue depends on a small number of large customers.

- We may have difficulty collecting amounts owed to us.
- We are subject to payment-related risks.
- Our performance is influenced by a variety of economic, social, political, legislative, and regulatory factors.
- Our revenue and profits depend upon the level of consumer spending, which is sensitive to global economic conditions and other factors.
- We depend on our Missouri facility, which may not produce the benefits expected.
- Acquisitions involve significant risks, and we may not be able to complete acquisitions that we desire to make in the future.
- We may not achieve the desired results of future acquisitions and any acquisitions that we undertake in the future could be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value, and harm our operations and operating results.
- Seasonality, weather conditions, and periodic fluctuations, such as changes in customer ordering patterns, may cause our operating results to vary from quarter to quarter.
- Our growth strategy may require significant additional funds, the amount of which will depend upon our working capital and general corporate needs.
- We may issue a substantial amount of our common stock in the future, which could cause dilution to current investors and otherwise adversely affect our stock price.
- The failure to manage our growth could adversely affect our operations.
- Liability insurance is expensive and may be difficult to obtain.

- We depend on key personnel, and our business may be harmed if we fail to retain and attract skilled management and other key personnel.
- We are subject to extensive regulation and could incur fines, penalties, and other costs and liabilities under such requirements.
- Our inability to protect our intellectual property or obtain the right to use intellectual property from third parties could impair our competitive advantage, reduce our sales, and increase our costs. In addition, we may be subject to intellectual property claims, which could cause us to incur litigation costs and damages payments.
- We may incur substantial expenses and devote significant resources in prosecuting others for their unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights.
- We face risks relating to our international business that could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
- We face risks associated with international activities, including those related to compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other applicable anti-corruption legislation.

- We may not be successful in our artificial intelligence initiatives, which could adversely affect our business, reputation, or financial results.
- Breaches of our information systems could adversely affect our reputation, disrupt our operations, and result in increased costs and loss of revenue.
- If our efforts to protect the security of personal information related to any of our customers, consumers, vendors, or employees are unsuccessful and unauthorized access to that personal information is obtained, or we experience a significant disruption in our computer systems or a cyber security breach, we could experience an adverse effect on our operations, we could be subject to costly government enforcement action and private litigation, and our reputation could suffer.
- Our business involves the potential for product recalls, product liability, and other claims against us, which could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition.
- We produce or source and sell products that create exposure to potential product liability, warranty liability, or personal injury claims and litigation.

- The market price and trading volume of our common stock may be volatile and may continue to be volatile.
