Challenges Ahead
- COVID-19 has negatively impacted our business
- We cannot predict or control the impact of the conflict in Ukraine on our business
- Our financial results depend entirely upon the agricultural industry
- We have experienced substantial and sustained volatility with respect to currency exchange rate and interest rate changes, which can adversely affect our reported results of operations and the competitiveness of our products.
- Our business increasingly is subject to regulations relating to privacy and data protection, and if we violate any of those regulations, or otherwise are the victim of a cyberattack, we could be subject to significant claims, penalties and damages.
