We regularly assess our facilities for manufacturing capacity, available labor, and proximity to our markets and major customers. Management believes our manufacturing facilities are suitable and adequate and have sufficient capacity to meet our current needs. The extent of utilization varies from plant to plant and with economic conditions. We also review the operating costs of our facilities and may from time-to-time relocate a portion of our manufacturing activities in order to reduce operating costs and improve asset utilization and cash flow.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks CTS CORP names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 24, 2026: 38 risks under these headings, as written.5

  • Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
  • Because we currently derive a substantial portion of our revenues from a small number of customers, any decrease in orders from these customers could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
  • Our customers may cancel their orders, change production quantities or locations or delay production.
  • Deterioration of general economic, political, credit and/or capital market conditions could adversely affect our financial performance, our ability to grow or sustain our business, financial condition and results of operations, and our ability to access the capital markets.
  • Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by disruptions in the global economy caused by the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict or other geopolitical tensions and conflict.
  • The impacts of supply chain constraints, increased tariffs and inflationary pressures could adversely impact our operating results.
  • We sell products to customers in cyclical industries that are subject to significant downturns that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
  • A portion of our revenue is derived from the sale of defense-related products through various contracts and subcontracts. These contracts may be suspended, canceled, or delayed, which could have an adverse impact on our revenues.
  • We are susceptible to trends and factors affecting industries that we serve.
  • Our operating results may vary significantly from period to period.
  • We may pursue acquisition opportunities that are intended to complement or expand our business as well as divestitures that could impact our business operations. We may not be able to complete these transactions, and these transactions, if executed, may pose risks that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
  • We may restructure our operations or fail to execute capital projects as planned, which may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
The other 27 risks
  • We have a substantial amount of goodwill on our balance sheet. Future write-offs of goodwill may have the effect of decreasing our earnings or increasing our losses.
  • We may be unable to compete effectively against competitors.
  • We may be unable to keep pace with rapid technological changes that could make some of our products or processes obsolete before we realize a return on our investment.
  • Products we manufacture may contain design or manufacturing defects that could result in reduced demand for our products or services and liability claims against us.
  • We are subject to government regulations, including environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations, that expose us to potential financial liability.
  • Changes in tax laws could cause volatility or have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
  • Uncertainty over global tariffs and trade policies, or the financial impact of tariffs and trade policies, may negatively affect our results.
  • Risks Related to Technology, Cybersecurity and Data Privacy
  • We are exposed to, and may be adversely affected by, cybersecurity threats, incidents or other disruptions to our information technology systems and data.
  • Cybersecurity incidents could have a disruptive effect on our business.
  • We are exposed to risks and costs associated with complying with privacy laws and protecting personal data and other sensitive information.
  • Failure to keep pace with developments in technology could adversely affect our operations or competitive position and we may be exposed to risks and incur costs associated with maintaining or upgrading our technology and systems.
  • Because third parties provide us with a number of operational and technical services, third-party cybersecurity incidents could expose us to liability, harm our reputation, damage our competitiveness and adversely affect our financial performance.
  • As we integrate artificial intelligence technologies into our processes, these technologies may present business, compliance and reputational risks.
  • Risks Related to Indebtedness and Financing
  • Our indebtedness may adversely affect our financial health.
  • Our credit facility contains provisions that could materially restrict our business.
  • The estimates and assumptions on which our financial projections are based may prove to be inaccurate, which may cause our actual results to materially differ from such projections, which may adversely affect our future profitability, cash flows and stock price.
  • Risks Related to Other External Factors
  • Loss, operational disruptions or closure of a key facility, including those of our suppliers, due to unforeseen or catastrophic events or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
  • Climate-related events and climate change legislation could adversely impact our business.
  • General Risk Factors
  • Unfavorable outcomes of legal or regulatory matters may adversely affect our business and financial condition and damage our reputation.
  • We face risks relating to our international operations.
  • We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that may adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
  • If we are unable to protect our intellectual property or we infringe or are alleged to infringe, on others' intellectual property rights, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.
  • Loss of our key management and other personnel, or an inability to attract key management and other personnel, could materially affect our business.
  • Ineffective internal control over our financial reporting may harm our business.
  • Shareholder activism efforts or unsolicited offers from a third party could cause a material disruption to our business and financial results.
  • Future dividends on our common stock may be restricted or eliminated.
  • We may not continue to repurchase our common stock or make repurchases of our common stock at favorable prices.

Legal proceedings

From time to time we are involved in litigation with respect to matters arising from the ordinary conduct of our business, and currently certain claims are pending against us. In the opinion of management, we believe we have established adequate accruals pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for our expected future liability with respect to pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings, where the nature and extent of any such liability can be reasonably estimated based on presently available information. However, we cannot provide assurance that the final resolution of any existing or future lawsuits, claims or proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
