Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks nLight names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 27, 2026: 36 risks under these headings, as written.5
- Risks Related to Our Industry and the Markets We Serve
- The markets for our products are highly competitive. If we fail to compete successfully, our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects will be materially adversely affected.
- Changes in the markets we serve could materially adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
- We participate in markets that are subject to rapid technological change and require significant research and development expenses to develop and maintain products that can achieve market acceptance.
- Products in the laser industry are experiencing declining average selling prices, and our future success depends in part on our ability to increase our volumes and decrease our costs to offset potential declines in the average selling prices of our products.
- Risks Related to Our Business and Operations
- We have a history of losses and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
- We rely on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenues, and if we lose any of these customers or they significantly curtail their purchases of our products, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
- Our business prospects depend significantly on our ability to secure new U.S. government awards and design wins, the timing and availability of government funding and our ability to successfully execute and deliver on our government contracts..
- We have classified contracts with the U.S. government, which limits investor insight into portions of our business.
- We have high levels of fixed costs and inventory levels that may materially adversely affect our gross profits and results of operations if demand for our products declines or we maintain excess inventory levels.
- We rely on third parties to manufacture certain of our products and product components, which could expose us to a number of risks that could negatively impact our results of operations.
The other 26 risks
- Our manufacturing capacity and operations may not be appropriate for future levels of demand and may materially adversely affect our gross margins.
- If we are unable to develop new products, applications and end-markets and increase our market share in existing applications, our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects may be materially adversely affected.
- If we fail to effectively manage our growth or, alternatively, our spending during downturns, our business could be disrupted, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations.
- The long sales cycles for our products may cause us to incur significant expenses without offsetting revenues.
- Because we generally do not enter into long-term purchase commitments with our customers, our product revenues can be difficult to predict, which could lead to excess or obsolete inventory and materially adversely affect our results of operations.
- We depend on internal production and outside single- or limited-source suppliers for many of our key components and raw materials.
- Products that do not meet specifications or that contain defects could damage our reputation, decrease market acceptance of our products, cause us to lose customers and revenues, and result in liability to us.
- A breach of our information technology and security systems could materially adversely affect our business.
- Our results of operations can be adversely affected by labor shortages, turnover, labor cost increases and our ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel.
- Fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations may be difficult to predict.
- We use estimates when accounting for certain fixed price contracts and any changes in such estimates could have an adverse effect on our earnings and overall financial performance.
- Our inability to manage risks associated with our international customers, operations and supply chain could materially adversely affect our business.
- We are exposed to foreign currency risk, which may materially adversely affect our revenues, cost of revenues and operating margins and could result in exchange losses.
- Risks Related to Litigation, Taxation and Regulatory Compliance
- We are subject to governmental export and import controls that could subject us to liability, impair our ability to compete and otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
- We are subject to anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and anti-money laundering laws and similar laws, and non-compliance with such laws can subject us to criminal penalties or significant fines and harm our business and reputation.
- We could be subject to additional income tax liabilities.
- Changes in tax laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, results of operations or financial conditions.
- We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations that could impose substantial costs upon us and may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
- Privacy and data security concerns, and data collection and transfer restrictions and related domestic or foreign regulations may limit the use and adoption of our solutions and adversely affect our business.
- We may become involved in claims, lawsuits, government investigations, other legal or regulatory proceedings, or commercial or contractual disputes, any of which could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
- If we are unable to protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights, our competitive position could be harmed and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
- Intellectual property claims could result in costly litigation and harm our business.
- Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income and income taxes may be limited.
- Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
- The market price of our common stock may be volatile, and the value of your investment could decline significantly.
- Delaware and Washington law and provisions in our charter documents could make a merger, tender offer or proxy contest difficult, thereby depressing the trading price of our common stock.
- The exclusive forum provisions of our bylaws could limit our stockholders’ ability to choose the judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, stockholders or employees.
