Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks WESCO International names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 13, 2026: 32 risks under these headings, as written.18
Risks Related to the Global Macroeconomic Environment and Our International Operations
Adverse conditions in the global economy and disruptions of financial and commodities markets could negatively impact us and our customers.
Volatile trade policies, including a shift toward a “reciprocal” tariff regime in the U.S., and retaliatory measures by foreign governments, could materially increase our costs, disrupt supply availability and lead times, reduce price competitiveness, and adversely affect demand for our products and services.
Our global operations expose us to political, economic, legal, currency and other risks.
We are subject to various laws and regulations globally and any failure to comply could adversely affect our business.
Fluctuations in foreign currency have an effect on our results from operations.
Risks Related to Our Strategic Initiatives and Acquisitions
Expansion into new business activities, industries, product lines, services offerings, or geographic areas could subject the Company to increased costs and risks and may not achieve the intended results.
Our strategic and operational initiatives, including our business transformation enabled by digital initiatives, are subject to various risks and uncertainties, and we may be unable to implement the initiatives successfully.
We may not be able to fully realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings of mergers and acquisitions.
Any future acquisitions that we may undertake will involve inherent risks, any of which could cause us not to realize the anticipated benefits.
Divestitures are subject to various risks and uncertainties.
The other 22 risks
Heightened antitrust and foreign investment scrutiny could delay, condition, or prevent our strategic transactions.
Risks Related to Our Information Systems and Technology and Intellectual Property
Any significant disruption or failure of our information systems could lead to interruptions in our operations, which may materially adversely affect our business operations, financial condition, and results of operations.
We may not be able to realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings of our digital transformation initiatives or enhancing existing, and deploying new, technology, digital products and information systems in our operations.
Our increasing use and reliance on artificial intelligence (“AI”), including machine learning, generative AI, agentic AI and large language models, may expose us to significant risks that could adversely affect our operations, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our business depends on cloud-based services operated by various third-party service providers, and any disruption in or interference with our use of these services could have adverse effects on our business, operational results, and financial condition.
We may experience a failure in or breach of our information security systems, or those of our third-party product suppliers or service providers, as a result of cyber-attacks or information security breaches.
We could incur significant and unexpected costs in our efforts to successfully avoid, manage, defend and litigate intellectual property matters.
Risks Related to Our Industry, Markets and Business Operations
Loss of key suppliers could decrease sales, profit margins and earnings.
We have been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by supply chain challenges, including product shortages, delays and price increases, which could decrease sales, profit margins and earnings.
Product cost fluctuations could decrease sales, profit margins and earnings.
Challenges in managing working capital and inventory in response to evolving customer demands, supply chain disruptions, and market fluctuations could significantly impact our cash flow, profit margins, and overall business performance.
A decline in project volume could adversely affect our sales and earnings.
We have risks associated with the sale of nonconforming products and services.
Disruptions to our logistics capability, or our failure to effectively manage supply chain logistics during periods of disruption, may have an adverse impact on our operations.
Our reliance on third-party service providers for outsourced functions could negatively impact our reputation, operations or financial results.
An increase in competition could decrease sales, profit margins, and earnings.
Our continued success may depend on our ability to execute ESG programs as planned and may impact our reputation and operating costs.
Risks Related to Tax Matters
Changes in tax laws or challenges to the Company’s tax positions by taxing authorities could adversely impact the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and Capital Structure
Our outstanding indebtedness requires debt service commitments that could adversely affect our ability to fulfill our obligations and could limit our growth and impose restrictions on our business, and fluctuations in interest rates could affect the cost of our indebtedness.
Our debt agreements contain restrictive covenants that may limit our ability to operate our business.
General Risk Factors
We are subject to costs and risks associated with global laws and regulations affecting our business, as well as litigation for product liability or other matters affecting our business.
We must attract, retain and motivate our employees, and the failure to do so may adversely affect our business.
Legal proceedings
From time to time, a number of lawsuits and claims have been or may be asserted against us relating to the conduct of our business, including litigation relating to commercial, product and employment matters. The outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some lawsuits may be determined adversely to us. However, management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any fiscal period of one or more of these matters may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for that period.
Information relating to legal proceedings is disclosed in Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and is incorporated herein by reference.
