Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks NIQ Global Intelligence plc names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 27, 2026: 60 risks under these headings, as written.4
- Risks Related to our Business and Operations
- 1. We derive a significant portion of our revenues from sales of our subscription-based products. If our clients terminate or fail to renew their subscriptions, our business could suffer.
- 2. We rely on third parties to provide certain data, services and information technology and operations functions in connection with the provision of our current products and services. The loss or limitation of access to that data, or to those services or functions, could harm our ability to provide our products and services.
- 3. Our business may be harmed if we are unable to collect high quality and representative retail information or if the scope of information we collect or the quality of the data and insights we provide clients is impaired or otherwise does not remain competitive.
- 4. If we are not able to maintain consumer panels of sufficient size and scope, or if the costs of establishing and maintaining our panels increase, our business could be harmed.
- 5. If we are unsuccessful at investing in growth opportunities, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
- 6. Macroeconomic factors could continue to adversely affect our business and financial results.
- 7. The market for consumer measurement and business solutions products and services is highly competitive; if we cannot compete effectively, our revenues could decline and our business could be harmed.
- 8. Consolidation in the industries in which our clients operate could put pressure on the pricing of our services, thereby leading to decreased earnings and cash flows.
- 9. If sources from which we obtain information limit our access to such information or institute or increase fees for accessing such information, our business could be materially and adversely harmed.
- 10. A loss or decrease in business of one or more of our largest clients could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
- 11. We face risks related to sales to government entities.
The other 49 risks
- 12. Our ability to successfully manage ongoing organizational changes and growth could impact our business results.
- 13. We may not fully realize the anticipated benefits of our completed or future combinations, acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic investments, which may expose us to additional risks.
- 14. If we are unable to attract, retain and engage employees, we may not be able to compete effectively and will not be able to expand our business.
- 15. Inadequacy of our insurance coverage or an inability to procure contractually required coverage could adversely affect our business.
- 16. Natural disasters, geo-political events and other highly disruptive events could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- 17. Because we generally recognize revenue ratably over the term of each subscription agreement, downturns or upturns in our sales may not be immediately reflected in our financial condition and results of operations.
- 18. If we fail to maintain and enhance our brand, our ability to expand our client base may be impaired and our business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer.
- Risks Related to IT Systems and Data
- 19. We rely on complex information systems, and if our information systems fail to perform adequately or if we experience an interruption in our operations, including a breach in cybersecurity, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
- 20. Security breaches, improper access to or disclosure of our data or our clients’ data or other cyber incidents could result in liability, cause harm to our reputation and business or subject us to regulatory penalties.
- Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Matters
- 21. Disputes and other legal or regulatory proceedings could adversely affect our financial results.
- 22. Any perceived or actual failure to comply with data privacy and security laws and regulations could adversely affect our operating results and business.
- 23. As the use of “third-party cookies” or other tracking technologies continue to be restricted or otherwise subject to unfavorable regulation, blocked or limited by technical changes on end users’ devices, our ability and that of our clients to use data on our platform may be limited, which could materially impact our business.
- 24. Our use of AI or other emerging technologies could adversely impact our business and financial results.
- 25. Due to the global nature of our business, we may be exposed to liabilities under anti-corruption laws, including the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the United Kingdom Bribery Act, the Irish Criminal Justice (Corruption Offences) Act 2018 and various international anti-corruption laws, and any allegation or determination that we violated these laws could have a material adverse effect on our business.
- 26. Our ESG commitments may impact our reputation, expose us to additional costs or have other impacts which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
- 27. Changes in tax laws, the impact of taxes on our business, including intercompany transfers and transactions and challenges by taxing authorities with respect to our tax reporting, may adversely affect our financial results and increase our tax expense.
- 28. Future legislation, regulations or policy changes under the current U.S. administration and Congress could have a material effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
- 29. We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, we are exposed to risks relating to evaluations of controls required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If we are unable to remediate our material weaknesses, or if we identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect our business and share price.
- Risks Related to Intellectual Property
- 30. Third parties may claim that we are infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating their intellectual property, and we could suffer significant litigation or licensing expenses, or be prevented from selling products or services, which may adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
- 31. If we are unable to establish, maintain, protect or enforce our intellectual property, our business could be adversely affected.
- 32. We are dependent on our relationship with our former parent company for certain aspects of our business.
- 33. Our use of open-source software could limit our ability to sell our products and services, subject our code to public disclosure or require us to reengineer our products.
- Risks Related to International Operations
- 34. Our international operations are exposed to risks which could impede growth in the future.
- 35. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has impacted our operations in Russia, which could result in certain regulatory inquiries, litigation claims and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- 36. Export controls and economic and trade sanctions laws could impair our ability to compete in international markets and subject us to liability if we are not in full compliance with applicable laws.
- 37. We operate data centers in countries outside of the United States that could be adversely affected by changes in political or economic stability or by government policies.
- 38. Currency exchange rate fluctuations may negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
- 39. Our results of operations and financial condition could be negatively impacted by our pension plans.
- Risks Related to our Capital Structure, Indebtedness and Capital Requirements
- 40. Our significant indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition.
- 41. Servicing our debt requires a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate sufficient cash depends on numerous factors beyond our control, and we may be unable to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt obligations.
- 42. The terms of our indebtedness restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to change or to take certain actions.
- 43. Because our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries, we are dependent on the receipt of distributions and dividends or other payments from our subsidiaries for cash to fund our operations and expenses, including to make future dividend payments, if any.
- 44. Despite our substantial debt, we may still be able to incur significantly more debt, which would increase the risks described herein. We may also require additional capital, which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and may cause dilution to our existing shareholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or product candidates.
- Risks Related to our Ordinary Shares
- 45. An active and liquid trading market for our ordinary shares may not be sustained and our share price may be volatile.
- 46. We may be subject to antitrust litigation or government investigation, which may result in an award of money damages or injunctive relief or force us to change the way we do business.
- 47. Because our Principal Shareholders own a significant percentage of our ordinary shares, they may control all major corporate decisions and their interests may conflict with your interests as an owner of our ordinary shares and our interests.
- 48. We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the NYSE rules and, as a result, will qualify for, and may rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements.
- 49. Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause our share price to fall.
- 50. We may change our dividend policy at any time.
- 51. If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, issue unfavorable commentary about us or our industry or downgrade our ordinary shares, the price of our ordinary shares could decline.
- 52. Becoming a public company has increased our compliance costs significantly and requires the expansion and enhancement of a variety of financial and management control systems and infrastructure and the hiring of significant additional qualified personnel.
- 53. If our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies are based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, our results of operations could fall below our publicly announced guidance or the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the market price of our ordinary shares.
- 54. Transfers of our ordinary shares may be subject to Irish stamp duty.
- 55. Dividends you receive may be subject to Irish dividend withholding tax.
- Risks Related to Irish Law
- 56. Irish law differs from the laws in effect in the United States and U.S. investors may have greater difficulty enforcing civil liabilities against us.
- 57. The rights of our shareholders may differ from the rights typically offered to shareholders of a U.S. corporation and these differences may make our ordinary shares less attractive to investors.
- 58. Attempted takeovers of NIQ Global Intelligence plc are subject to the Irish Takeover Rules and will be under the supervisory jurisdiction of the Irish Takeover Panel.
- 59. Under the Irish Takeover Rules, a person, or persons acting in concert, who acquire(s), or consolidate(s), control of us may be required to make a mandatory cash offer for our remaining shares.
- 60. Anti-takeover provisions in our Articles of Association could make an acquisition of our ordinary shares more difficult.
Legal proceedings
From time to time, NIQ is subject to litigation and other claims in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2025, NIQ does not believe there is a reasonable possibility that any material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized, if appropriate, for such legal matters has been incurred. However, the ultimate resolutions of these legal matters are inherently unpredictable. As such, NIQ’s financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these legal matters. Further, future litigation to which NIQ may become a party could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
For more information on various legal proceedings, see Note 19. “Commitments and Contingencies” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
