Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks NOVANTA INC names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 23, 2026: 38 risks under these headings, as written.4

  • Risks Relating to Our Business
  • Our results of operations could be adversely affected by economic and political conditions and the effects of these conditions on our customers’ businesses, capital expenditures and levels of business activities.
  • Our business success depends upon our ability to respond to fluctuations in product demand, but doing so may require us to incur costs despite limited visibility into future business declines.
  • The success of our business depends on our ability to continuously innovate, to introduce new products in a timely manner, and to manage transitions to new product innovations effectively.
  • Customer order timing and other factors may cause our operating results to fluctuate from period to period.
  • Our business may be adversely affected by cyberattacks or other incidents that cause significant disruption in, or breach the security of, our information technology systems or those of our third-party providers.
  • Our reliance on international operations subjects us to risks not typically faced by companies operating exclusively in the U.S.
  • Increased component outsourcing to manufacturers located in different countries than our manufacturing facilities leads to additional risks that could negatively impact our business.
  • Increases in tariffs, trade restrictions or taxes on our products could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
  • Our operating results depend in part on our ability to contain or reduce costs. There is substantial price competition in our industry and upward pressure on material and labor costs. Our success and profitability will depend on our ability to maintain a competitive cost and price structure.
  • Others may violate our intellectual property rights and cause us to incur significant costs to protect our rights.
  • Our operating results would suffer if we are unable to successfully defend against infringement claims by third parties.
The other 27 risks
  • We operate in highly competitive industries and, if we lose competitive advantages, our business would suffer adverse consequences.
  • Our results of operations will be adversely affected if we fail to identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions, successfully integrate recent and future acquisitions or grow the acquired businesses as planned.
  • If we do not attract and retain our key personnel, our ability to execute our business strategy will be limited.
  • We have undertaken restructuring and realignment activities in the past, and we will continue to assess our operating and cost structure in the future. These actions may not improve our financial position, and may ultimately prove detrimental to our operations and sales.
  • Product defects or problems with integrating our products with other vendors’ products used by our customers may seriously harm our business and reputation.
  • Disruptions in the supply of certain key components and other goods from our suppliers, including limited or single source suppliers, have adversely affected the results of our business operations, and could damage our relationships with customers.
  • If we fail to accurately forecast component and raw material requirements for our products, we could incur additional costs and experience significant delays in shipments, which could have an adverse effect on the results of our business operations, and could damage our relationships with customers.
  • Production difficulties and product delivery delays or disruptions could have a material adverse effect on our business.
  • We are subject to extensive and dynamic medical device regulations, which may impede or hinder the approval, certification or sale of our products and, in some cases, may ultimately result in an inability to obtain approval or certification of certain products or may result in the recall or seizure of previously approved or certified products.
  • Our products and operations are subject to various foreign and U.S. federal and state healthcare laws and regulations, which could expose us to penalties.
  • Our business is indirectly subject to healthcare industry cost containment and healthcare reform measures that could result in reduced sales of our products.
  • Changes in government regulations related to our business or our products could reduce demand for our products or increase our expenses.
  • Actual or perceived failures to comply with applicable data protection, privacy and security laws, regulations, standards, and other requirements may adversely impact our business and financial results.
  • If we fail to implement new information technology systems successfully, our business could be adversely affected.
  • Changes in foreign currency rates could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
  • Our results of operations will be adversely affected if we fail to realize the full value of our intangible assets.
  • Our reliance upon OEM customers subjects us to credit, inventory, and business failure risks beyond our control.
  • The loss of sales, or significant reductions in orders from, any major customers may have a material adverse effect on us.
  • Increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from investors, customers, governments and other stakeholders and third parties with respect to corporate sustainability and responsibility practices may cause us to incur additional costs or expose us to additional risks.
  • The effects of climate change and related regulatory responses may adversely impact our business.
  • Risks Relating to Taxes
  • Novanta Inc. may be subject to U.S. federal income taxation even though it is a non-U.S. corporation.
  • Our effective tax rate is subject to fluctuation, which could impact our financial position and earnings per share.
  • Risks Relating to Our Common Shares and Our Capital Structure
  • We may require additional capital to adequately respond to business challenges or opportunities and repay or refinance our existing indebtedness, but this capital may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.
  • Our existing indebtedness could adversely affect our future business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • General Risk Factors
  • The market price for our common shares may be volatile.
  • We are exposed to the credit risk of some of our customers and to credit exposures in weakened markets, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
  • If we fail to maintain appropriate internal controls in the future, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately, which may adversely affect our stock price and our business.
