  • the impact of unfavorable global or regional economic conditions and related economic slowdowns or recessions, low consumer confidence, high unemployment, weak credit or capital markets, budget deficits, burdensome government debt, austerity measures, higher interest rates, higher taxes, international trade disputes, government restrictions, geopolitical instability, higher inflation, or deflation;
  • failure to meet our announced guidance or market expectations and the impact thereof;
  • failure to attract or retain key executive or partner talent or successfully transition executives;
  • the impacts of partner investments and changes in the availability and cost of labor, including any union organizing efforts and our responses to such efforts;
  • the impact of foreign currency translation, particularly a stronger U.S. dollar;
  • the impact of, and our ability to respond to, substantial competition from new entrants, consolidations by competitors, and other competitive activities, such as pricing actions (including price reductions, promotions, discounting, couponing, or free goods), marketing, category expansion, product introductions, or entry or expansion in our geographic markets;
  • potential impacts of climate change;
  • evolving corporate governance and public disclosure regulations and expectations;
