Newly disclosed
Our business is directly and indirectly exposed to changes in government regulations; for example, changes in gaming regulations could influence the spending patterns of our casino operator customers, or changes in anti-money laundering regulations could result in additional technical requirements for our products.
Integrating acquired operations involves significant risks and uncertainties, including: • Maintenance of uniform standards, controls, policies and procedures; • Unplanned expenses associated with the integration efforts; • Inability to achieve planned facility repositioning savings or related efficiencies from recent and ongoing investments; • Unidentified issues not discovered in the due diligence process, including legal contingencies; • Inability of acquired businesses to timely report their results of operations; and • Challenges in retaining key talent and critical employees from acquired businesses, which could impact operational continuity and the realization of anticipated synergies. 11 There can be no assurance that suitable acquisition opportunities will be available in the future, that we will continue to acquire businesses or that any business acquired will be integrated successfully or prove profitable, which could adversely impact our growth rate.
Consistent with industry practice, we provide warranties on many of our products, and we could incur costs related to warranty or breach‑of‑contract claims if our products contain manufacturing or design defects or fail to meet contractual or customer specifications.
Companies that collect and retain such information are under increasingly sophisticated and severe attack by cyber-criminals around the world.
While we continue to expect to be able to largely offset the impact of tariffs on operating profit with pricing and productivity initiatives, the broader economic implications resulting from market volatility may decrease customer demand and negatively impact revenue and profitability.
U.S. and foreign policy changes and uncertainty about such changes have resulted in increased market volatility and currency exchange rate fluctuations and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Information systems and technology networks failures and breaches in data security, personally identifiable and other information, non-compliance with our contractual or other legal obligations regarding such information, or a violation of our privacy and security policies with respect to such information, could adversely affect us.
If any such supplier encounters financial instability, capacity limitations, quality issues, regulatory impediments, labor shortages, or operational disruptions, we may be unable to obtain alternative sources on a timely basis or at comparable cost.
Due to the nature of our businesses, the countries in which we seek to sell products, and robust regulatory regimes, we are at risk of incurring civil and criminal liability, monetary and non-monetary penalties, fines, disruptions to our business, limitations on our ability to export products and services, and damage to our reputation.
Moreover, because customers deploy our software in diverse and complex environments, including varied hardware, platforms, system management tools, and network configurations, the likelihood of technical issues may increase, and when products are integrated with other components or software, identifying the source of any defect or error may be difficult.
If any of these risks materialize, we could face increased costs and expenses, exposure to liability claims, diversion of technical and other resources, loss of customers, or negative publicity, any of which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. • While we maintain insurance coverage with respect to certain liability claims, that insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all claims that may arise, or we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance coverage in the future at an acceptable cost.
While these proactive actions are intended to increase our productivity and operating effectiveness, if demand for our products exceeds our available manufacturing capacity or we are unable to scale production quickly, we may experience delays in fulfilling orders, increased lead times, and potential loss of sales or customer relationships.

Failure to comply with any of these and similar regulations could result in civil and criminal liability, monetary and non-monetary penalties, fines, disruptions to our business, limitations on our ability to export products and services, and damage to our reputation. 13 Our business is directly and indirectly exposed to changes in government regulations; for example, changes in gaming regulations could influence the spending patterns of our casino operator customers, or changes in anti-money laundering regulations could result in additional technical requirements for our products.
There can be no assurance that suitable acquisition opportunities will be available in the future, that we will continue to acquire businesses or that any business acquired will be integrated successfully or prove profitable, which could adversely impact our growth rate.
In addition, consistent with industry practice, we provide warranties on many of our products, and we may experience costs of warranty or breach of contract claims if our products have defects in manufacture or design or they do not meet contractual specifications.
The legal, regulatory and contractual environment surrounding information security and privacy is constantly evolving and companies that collect and retain such information are under increasing attack by cyber-criminals around the world.
Our future results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted by intangible asset impairment charges.
Integrating acquired operations involves significant risks and uncertainties, including: • Maintenance of uniform standards, controls, policies and procedures; • Unplanned expenses associated with the integration efforts; • Inability to achieve planned facility repositioning savings or related efficiencies from recent and ongoing investments; and • Unidentified issues not discovered in the due diligence process, including legal contingencies.
We deploy a continuous, company-wide process to secure an adequate supply of raw materials at prices which are favorable to us, to source our components and raw materials from fewer suppliers, and to obtain parts from suppliers in low-cost countries where possible.
If we are unable to timely source these components or raw materials, whether resulting from more stringent regulatory requirements; supplier financial condition; disruptions in transportation; an outbreak of a severe public health pandemic; severe weather; or the occurrence or threat of wars, our operations may be disrupted, or we could experience a delay or temporary stoppage in certain of our manufacturing operations.
If we are unable to develop and introduce new products in a cost-effective manner or otherwise manage effectively the operations related to new products, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely impacted.
We estimate our future warranty costs based on historical trends and product sales, but we may fail to accurately estimate those costs and thereby fail to establish adequate warranty reserves for them. • While we maintain insurance coverage with respect to certain liability claims, that insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all claims that may arise, or we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance coverage in the future at an acceptable cost.
If the prices of critical components and raw materials continue to increase or we are unable to pass increased costs of components and raw materials to customers, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
Demand for our products is variable and subject to factors beyond our control, which could result in unanticipated events significantly impacting our results of operations.
