The material itself is lightweight, has a lustrous finish, and is ideal for applications in which toughness, impact resistance, and surface finish are important.

Overmolding these materials on the outside of your device can add impact protection, abrasion resistance, and UV resistance properties depending on the intended use environment of the speaker.

Higher energy costs worldwide and impacts of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine could adversely impact our results of operations. Sales were negatively impacted by foreign exchange impacts of 5.9% and lower demand, partially offset by price increases associated with inflation. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not result in any material impact.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: • Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; • The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; • Disruptions or inefficiencies in our supply chain, logistics, or operations; • Changes in laws and regulations in jurisdictions where we conduct business, including with respect to plastics and climate change; • Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; • Demand for our products and services; • Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; • Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; • Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; • Information systems failures and cyberattacks; • Amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; • Our ability to achieve strategic objectives and successfully integrate acquisitions, including the implementation of a cloud-based enterprise resource planning system, S/4HANA; • Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation, geopolitical conflicts and any recessionary conditions; and • Other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 under Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” When showing constant dollar figures on GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, the foreign exchange impact is calculated by using current foreign exchange rates and applying them to the prior period results. We also monitor earnings (defined as net income from continuing operations) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA before the impact of special items) as a supplement to our GAAP measures.
